Goodbye MMU
Finally the mood to blog came to me, but without the idea flood. I had to wring the little bastards out. Sigh.So, I'm back home now. It's day two. The total number of anything constructive that i have done? Zero. Goose egg. So far I've been surfing the net looking at-- no, not porn, but comic book reviews or summaries. I don't know why. Really. Now as I sit here trying to type this blog, I am struck dumbfounded, that I had wasted 24+ hours reading comic book-related stuff. Huh.
Oh yeah, before I proceed with the blog, I just like to wish my Princess a happy 5-month anniversary. It's been a helluva ride these 5 months. And it's kinda sad that we're not together to celebrate this anniversary. I promise you, there'll be a surprise coming. I love you, sayang.
y'know, I could've gone out to town and actually do something. The top of the list would be to top up my phone(s). Both of them expired already, and that means I can't contact Princess over the cell. Of course, I could just call her thru the house phone. I just don't want to kacau her. Bet she's having the time of her life. And I bet Kota Kinabalu looks fantastic in pink. Don't you think so, sayang? (other weird colors are good too.)
Well, let's start blogging here. Hm, What stories can we tell...? There's the Melaka trip and Bukit Cerakah outings, but I'll leave them to Pabs to tell it all. She has more colorful vocabulary than mine anyway. ;) Ah, but I could talk about my thoughts here and there.
In the Melaka trip, one of the places we visited was the MMU campus in Bukit Beruang. As you all know, that place holds a lot of memories there. I've blogged about it before. But this time, when I visited there, there are no emotions triggered. We passed the places that once had a special meaning to me, the places of my youth. And to my surprise, I felt nothing. I half-expected that I would cry or something, but it never happened. There wasn't any heavy feeling inside me. Yes, it was fun to see the places I had roamed in my youth, but the emotions that were attached to it has gone. It felt like it was another place to me. It was a campus, yes. It's just another campus. I felt like a stranger in there. I really couldn't believe it.
When we got out of the campus, it finally dawned to me that I have moved on. There is no more reason for me to get attached emotionally to this campus anymore. It's weird. I have another campus now. But more importantly, I fell in love with another soul. Maybe because of these two reasons, my mind reckons that the old emotions pertaining to MMU should be put in a box and stored neatly. I need the space for these two reasons. Especially now that I am in love with a girl. Sigh.
So I guess this is a final farewell to MMU. A farewell to the MMU in my heart. A farewell to Bukit Beruang. These places still exist physically, and I'm sure I'll visit them again, maybe as a visitor, maybe I'll work there. But in my heart, MMU exists no more. Goodbye, MMU.
Ironically, as I type this, I'm listening to MP3s from the MMU days, mostly anime related. Also, the keyboard I'm typing right now, I bought at MMU. So does this very PC I'm using. All from MMU. Ironic. Heh. Even if I have forgotten MMU, I still can't and would not forget the experiences, the stuff MMU has given to me. More importantly, the people of MMU, especially Lase, and Hilmie. Two best friends, and countless acquaintances. Heh.
(writing break. Gone to enjoy a fruitcake. :D)
Okay, I'm back. (munch, munch.) What else has happened, hm? Oh yeah, CNY. Happy CNY, people. Sorry it's a bit belated. :D And it's the year of the Dog, too. that means... I'm 24 this year. Holy Crap.
Ah, I've been looking at my old post, but only as far back as a year ago. It's very entertaining to read what I did a year ago. Not much of a cringe-fest, more like I smiled at myself. Guess my experiences here are much, much better, hm?
Speaking of CNY, the university decided to shunt up the mid term break, which is why I'm here how typing this at home. The thing is, Pabs and I didn't immediately go home on CNY. We went back home right after it, which means we have a few days to have fun over here. One of the activities was Cycling at Bukit Cerakah, which Pablo will gladly tell about it.

This is a bad time to experience Writer's Block. I can't think of anything to write about. Great. Well, I'll blog again later.

[p.s.: I fulfilled the promise to write a blog "esok". Heh, funny.]
