It's Been A Long Day, We've Come A Long Way

Funny how things just tasted better
When we were young
When we were young

Funny how things just seemed so easy
When we were young

When We Were Young - Dolores O'Riordan

Drip, drip, drip

I'm almost through with my first week of college, and also going to end my time working for 8TV and So You Think You Can Dance. Two opposite aspects of life: One is a beginning, one is an ending. Wooo, wreaks havoc on my head when I think about it. I mean, I'm beginning a new chapter of my life (my degree) and ending a very memorable one (work). I do get nostalgic thinking about the past few months, the ups and downs I've been through, the people I've been with, everything.

I'd like to think that I'm leaving work on a positive note, leaving no negativity behind. I'd hate to think that I stepped on anyone's toes during my working term. And I'd like to think I managed to impress those I've worked with, leave a good impact on them. Plus, since they know my dad, make him proud as well. Nothing would please me more than for them to go around mentioning stuff along the lines of "Itu, anak Azhar Borhan, really lives up to expectations. A son to be really proud of."

It's not often that you get to see a genuine smile nowadays

I'm going to leave work with a heavy heart, but with the assurance that if I'm in trouble, or need help, I can always turn to them. Bunch of amazing people, and it's no wonder I'm addicted to work. They're like my second family, in a sense. I've managed to learn so much, and hopefully contribute my fair share as well. It's nice to know that they can rely on me to do some things, even if some might not be that important.

So smile, because you'll look wonderful

So, that signals the last days of my working life, and also the beginning of my college life. Classes so far have been pretty okay. I think I can cope. Hopefully it won't be too hard. And the people I go to class with, they'll definitely help, and I only hope I can be as much help as they would be to me.

Oh, that brings me to another topic. Convocation. I was somewhat iffy about going, but after listening to what Keidd had to say, and thinking about my dad, about him coming back to watch me graduate, watch his first child get a cert for something, and for the first time actually doing well in his studies, I owe him this.

For all that he's done, for all that both my parents have done (not pressuring me to get excellent results, the leniency in my upbringing, the spoiling of my needs, and loads of other stuff), this is the least I can do to repay them.

And as for you, after reading your entry, and if I understand it correctly, I have one thing I want to mention. Actually, I'm going to quote my previous post.

"I know I'm not the first, nor the second, heck I'll be lucky to be even the third person you turn to when you're in trouble, when you have something bothering you, but I promise you, if there is anything I can do, in any way humanely possible, to make you happy, to not see you sad, I would. As a lyric of a song goes: Just call my name, and I'll be there."

So yeah, if I read it correctly, or if I didn't, please tell me. I'd hate for Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum to miss this.

Oh, and I shall leave you with a few more photos taken when two people meet up at Mc D in the middle of the night, and have a camera at hand.

Yeah, I know I'm not a sight for sore eyes
