The beginning after the end...

I couldn't say how shocked I was when I knew that my college life was coming to an end.
Though the whole course was intensive and short, apart from academic education, I learned a lot.
A year in college taught me many lessons in life.
I used to be a person who hold on to relations very tightly. For this character, I paid a lot of price for it. I went through a hard time letting go and forgetting.
But then, those hard times did not open up my eyes to realise the brutality and reality of life.
Not until I took a step into KDU.
Being in a new environment, I took some time to adapt to it. The food, the life, the accommodation, the people...
It required time. And with it, came knowledge.
This year was filled with excitement and anticipation. I kept worrying about my results. I wanted to start my Uni life. But then, being who I was, I still appreciate the time I had with my course mates. Nevertheless, I found out that, no matter what, it's still hard to really establish a sincere friendship. People kept saying that friends are just a tool to achieve something you wanted. Such statement became more and more valid as we grew older.
Though we only have 8 people in this course, this phenomena didn't hide itself. Some of them only talked to you when they needed your help. They really did that!
sigh.. At first, I couldn't accept it. I kept asking why. But then, now, I realised, there wasn't a definite answer to that.
Friends come and go. That's the reality of life.
Upon knowing that, I was happy. I grew up. At the end of days, my success will be the unit of measurement for everything. It's me and me alone.
This course is ending... Today is the second last day.... Tomorrow would be the last..
Yet, I don't feel sad or emotional about it. I actually feel happy. I am finally leaving Penang.
Nevertheless, there is a big exam ahead of me. I will conquer it.
The end of 2011 signifies the start of a very new chapter of my life. There are many things that I still have to learn.. either in the hard or soft way. Either way, I will learn. I will not forget the lessons I learnt this year.. Never..
With that, I will be stronger...
