25 Dec

Old story.
Maybe I'm just finding a reason to write.
Or maybe the will to write just arrived after a long while :)

It was 25 Dec.

It was in the middle of my study week. Time famous untuk dapat jemputan walimah sebab tengah cuti sekolah. Kata perempuan scorpio - asal kenduri je, hang ada exam, asal kenduri je, hang ada quiz/test. But anyhow, since the invitation came early and I have a strong reason to attend (boleh attend dengan perempuan scorpio yang cuma pulang Malaysia setahun sekali sejak melanjutkan pelajaran di negara di mana pasukan ragbinya terkenal sebagai All Blacks), so dah save the date awal-awal and sort of planned kerja-kerja (cewahh) so that ada kapasiti masa yang cukup untuk escape dari study week kejap, for that. And I guess it's just me, memang perlu little escapes during study weeks as always.

The initial plan was nothing much, pick up perempuan scorpio, attend walimah then perhaps lepak kejap before going back but it all changes when we stumbled upon 4 other coursemates back then in INTEC aside from the one whose walimah we were attending. It felt somewhat good to see those familiar faces yang tak jumpa sekian lama. One came with her mom, the others datang sendiri so after done with makan-makan and take photos one of them ajak makan cendol if and only if the gerai opens so yeah, makan stuffs kan - hard to resist :D Oh ye, one of us actually took train datang Penang lepas balik kerja the day before and arrived kat Bukit Mertajam railway station pagi Dec 25 tu.

So off 5 of us to the gerai cendol tak ingat nama apa in Kepala Batas (femes katanya) and alhamdulillah it was open. Sat in circle. No tables. Plastic stools saja. Pegang mangkuk cendol. Bawah big tree. No payung. No bumbung. With the risk of bird poop falling into the bowl (which actually happened to one of us once upon a time. hihi. mujur tak cedok makan.). It felt like no biggie. Topics were very much different compared to zaman buat Ausmat dulu. Yang pasti takde topik research project untuk ESL. More of upcoming friends' weddings, who's next, internship, salary, jobs.

Soal intern, gaji...well I guess I'm a bit terkebelakang sikit when it comes to that sebab belum ada experience bab tu. Oh ye, dalam 5 of us tu, I'm the only in health science field, yang lain semua geng engineering. Perempuan scorpio is software engineer to be, insha-Allah. Was intending to do attachment kat retail pharmacy tapi asyik tinggal intention saja. The attachment is still optional. Always have the feeling - I'm gonna have to do that job soon after grad so why not spend the free time now doing something else. But experience itu emas. But but but. Macam tu lah. Hopefully the rajin-ness to do attachment arrives sooner or later while there's chance.

Masa sembang-sembang while having cendol,

one of us said - Rasa macam dewasa.

Guess so :)

May our ages bertambah with barakah!

For those yang dah ada candidate, may Allah ease untuk gerak ke next step :)
