My 'old' boyfriend and me...:)
hehehe~ this gentleman was once my neighbour when i lived in Putrajaya...i first noticed him when he walks around my house with his granchildren wearing Nike shoes...haha! never thought someone with his age got style....
anyway, we met at Raya, just getting to know neighbours and well...me and my sis was shocked that he and his wife spoke fluent English...the one you used to hear among the white people...and it turns out that they were both was once teachers then lecturers....that night, i respected them so much i wished they were my parents! haha~
around form 3, we started dating around the evenings at my buaian bulat after i took Haziq for his walk...we'll talk about anything that came to mind..sometimes, his stories are so absurd that i cant tell which is true or if he was just bluffing....saba je la~
some of the memories that i had with him is that, after we had our talk, i'll escort him to his house...so then we'll take baby steps since i thought that he cant walk to fast....but one day, as usual we went a bit late so i asked him... " nenek xmarah ke atuk slalu balik lambat?" and he simply ignored my question and kept walking baby steps....suddenly, we heard the azan....and he walked so fast I had to catch up with his pace.... err...did I mention he has to walk with his cane?....from that day i know that he isnt as fargile as he looks...sabo je la lagi~
he also told me stories about back in the days, every morning his wife would arrange his clothes accordingly before he goes to work..but one day, she was busy or forgot that he had to take care of his attire to himself...later, he found out that he felt 'chilly' rather than usual...cant guess? then your still young to understand...:P
but most of all, these statements was imprinted in my mind untill today;
" one day... I want to see you graduate.... "
" i want to thank you for what you did to me....you dont know how much of what you did means to me...thank you...."
he never knew that his presence had already made a big impact in my life...i really loved his company as much...it really means a lot to me when he said it...because that was the first time i felt appreciated and special...:)
i really hope he can see me graduate...and i hope so too...even if i may not be a top scorer as some...but at least i knew im an honest student whose been doing most of my work by myself and not giving in to chances to make my decision...i know my brain is not as well as i was before...since it saddens me that my previous friends still finds me 'intelligent'...because at UTP i can honestly say i feel stupid....but i dont mind that at all...
me and my mom agree that life cant always be fair...and we cant always be on top...sometimes we have to feel below our range so that we can experince how others people feel....
its the effort that always count...
you may never know how little a small effort might bring a big success in the future....
a few years of hardship in studies is better than having decades of hardship of work...
whenever you meet these old citizens...dont ever ignore their advice...always listen because you'll never know how much its worth....jangan sesekali sombong.....
i really never regret spending my time with him...:)
