I quit smoking and proud of it

Hello future, may I come in?

"Aku takut"

"kau takut apa?"

"Aku takut nak menjalani perubahan. I'm afraid of changes. Aku tak ready nak tinggalkan student life."

"Eh? Kau jugak?"

I think that is the real reason why me and Fahim decided to stay back even examination ended almost a week ago. Kenapa? Sayang student life. Rasa attached sangat dengan buku, tho we are not that rajin pergi kelas hihi. 5 years beb, we've gone through so much changes. And petang tadi lepak minum-minum, we recalled the memories. And we smiled, and we weep how we are going to miss studying after this.

"Does that mean we are not ready to take up the challenge yet,bro?"

"Well,maybe. Or maybe not."

"I'm going for masters after this.."

"Eh tapi cakap tak nak sambung dah?"

"This November kot."

Grow up. Being an adult means you gotta face and make decisions and ready to adapt yourself into..err apa-apa saja situasi.

We rode home, and bukak yearbook diploma and gelak-gelak recalling those years. Glorious years. Recalling how naive we once was, recalling how we were eager to finish up our studies and enter the working world, but when the time comes, semua jadi takut. Ironic,isn't it? Aku pun tak berani cakap aku gila babi eager nak kerja. Aku ada juga takut-takut. Tak cuba tak tahu kan? Deep down inside, diri kami masih lagi kanak-kanak yang mahu berseronok. Mungkin lah. Walaupun mulut cakap " Ala malas siut nak pergi kelas" tapi itu mungkin bukan maksud sebenar. Aku akan rindukan semua ini. True, we shouldn't live in the past. Because is something we remember and cherish. Jadinya? Teruskan. Aku jumpa korang lagi sepuluh tahun, semoga kita semua berjaya apa yang kita mahu.

"Remember what was your nickname back in Arau?"

"Haha, abang Misai Manja!"

"Ha ah. Gross sial nama tu!"

"Ingat dulu kita selalu pergi practice brass band? And then after that kita selalu jamming kat bilik band?"

"Yeah, awesome gila kan? And makan aduh mak aii best sungguh."

"Yeah, we sure gonna miss those."

Ni entry paling lama aku tulis. Almost makan masa 5 jam. Siap keluar lepak ke McD sect 3, pastu balik sambung tulis. Heh. And sepanjang aku tulis aku ditemani lagu Lynrd Skynrd 'Free Bird'. Hey, pretty inspiring ah the lyrics. Aku letak sikit kat sini. Tak sangka sial dengar Southern rock haha.

If I leave here tomorrow

would you still remember me

For I must be travelling on now

there's too many places I gotta see

And if I stay here with you girl

things just wouldn't be the same

For I'm as free as a bird now

and this bird you cannot change, oh

and the bird you cannot change

and this bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can't change

Bye bye, baby, it's been sweet love

though this feeling I can't change

Please don't take it so badly

Cause Lord knows I'm to blame




Til then, aufwiedersehen.
