dammit was recuperating after a case of the triple [sore throat/cough/flu] and now it's back again. either the virus is fucking strong and immune or the NZ strepsils suck. dammit i hate this, no chilli, no pepper, nothing spicy .bla bla bla.
been feeling nostalgic latley, remembering my college years. i had been quite the arsehole in college [this is during my LICT days], so the first day is at the old campus trying to look new [nope it's not mayang, it's tun razak] and had just met a few friends in the canteen area [yup, we had a canteen area with a shack at the corner serving us]. the old LICT days were all about squeaky floors, skipping classes and doping up over the GD area.
i remember we had a couple of joints just before entering for class and i swore i was super paranoid at that stage. sitting at the corner, i was observing actions/reactions - colours/black&white - and i wasn't making any sense at all. so in comes tina [she's the wife of Nettlefold billboard's CEO], i suddenly remembered that we had an assignment to present [a copywriting assignment]. i whispered to roland, next to me and said, "fuck i'm so screwed cus i did my work but i'm too knocked to present". when u're stoned a whisper is a shout. FUCK ME. just as i expected, i was up, shivering and shit. i even had the nerve to tell tina that i wasn't prepared but she was having none of it.
so i gave the presentation. till today, i had no idea what i did. the guys in class just laugh when i ask them and basically i can't remember. this is an area in memory that has been liquid papered off so if anyone remembers me making the presentation please tell me what happened cus not only did not fuck up but apparently i had become good at it, earning praise from tina.
The funny story is, that for the final assignment i had to work in a group of 4. now this is a funny relationship, i was with a girlfriend and naturally we're already a group, so we grouped up with 2 of my mates, roland & eric. now here is where it becomes tricky, eric despises roland for being lazy and i guess the feeling is mutual. SO why the fuck did we group up, we were greedy and we were the best in class. so much so the class nicknamed us "the agency" [ as in ad agency]. towards the end of the semester, the shitiest thing happen, i was single again; now this was were things began to be weird. she took sides with eric and as a result, 2 camps in a group. not good. not good at all. in the end, we did win the RM200 split 4 ways, i blew it all on CD's after. the winning as a group left a sour taste in my mouth. Roland & I remained friends till today; i patched things up with Eric but he still holds a grudge so it's cool, can't win them all.
The ex, well she was clammering all over .... not me but another guy. i had decided it was enough, when she tried to control me so i wished the guy good luck. she's married to him and have a daugther together. If you wanna find out who she is? she works at Ogilvy & Mather and wrote for the magazine V's innagural issue.
we did meet up again at a party thrown by some agency colleagues of mine; we never said a word nor did our eyes meet. i still get the jitters nowadays when i do meet her in public, no smiles ... nothing. i guess we're both stubborn and immature. but i do want to say to her, to let bygones be bygones .... water under the bridge .... and if she expects an apology, i will give it to her personally.
what a way to remember my college days but i have more stories to tell; some stupid and some just outrageous. but this is the one and only girlfriend stories you'll hear from me, for now.....
