Bayyi, who?

I got heart-wrench every time I thought that we will not be together as 4 anymore. We lived together in a room for merely 3 semesters and got to admit they are the few amongst my friends in college that I would say, mean the world to me. We might not spend most of our time together but the value we have put in this friendship is just priceless. When we first met, I have never thought we would be this close and how we relied on each other (in another word, how I can rely almost everything to them) after a not fond relationship with my previous roommates (we just can't get along) and I survived the next 3 semesters with these bunch. All we did in the room was mostly shouting and being mean to each other and not trying to pretend to be someone else when we are together which is a good sign to know that you guys are doing well, being friends. Being back to the room after a rough day at class is what made our room felt like home. I had these few people to hear all my rants and things I could not tell everyone but them. I told them almost everything about myself, especially to Bayyi. I had Bal who always asked me 'macam mana tadi?' 'kau okay tak?' and that is how I usually started off my story-telling session and get them to listen to me. They made me feel at ease every time I shared my stories because they are the few amongst my fewest friends that are always been really supportive towards myself. I had Raihan who always get fascinated and amazed with my works when I did not feel like it at all. She went 'waaaahhhhh' to almost everything I showed her and that always made me feel motivated.

Before you guys get confused of who is who

Puteri Balqis Azman

the cutest after all

Raihan Rahim

Siti Khatijah Nur Rubayyi Aurora Farhana

My mind started to flashback all the memories we had along this one and half year being roommates but could not manage to convey them in words. From biggest thing that made we laughed like hell to the smallest thing we fought about, I still love them and want to be with them if I had that chance again. Don't you guys too? The good thing I learned being with them is, even thought we got in an argument or disagreement, we have never thought to end this friendship. We accept each other well, I can say. If we sum up these 3 semesters, we had only 42 weeks being together but I felt like I have known them for my entire life! I could not ask Allah for more, you guys are the best out of the best in college. It is the final semester for Raihan and Balqis whilst Bayyi and I have another semester to cope with. Since I am back briefly to college for Viva presentation, I had planned to meet them and tagged Bayyi along (although that girl had no reason to come actually). Sadly I could not really spend a whole day with them. I was busy going back and forth to complete my portfolio before the presentation and Raihan and Balqis were also busy preparing for their final diploma show. What was left? Bayyi who had nothing to do but all three of us were busy with our works. I felt bad when I can't do anything to entertained her. Luckily she had her 'friend' to keep her company.

Seriously us!

Only on the third day I managed to meet Raihan and Balqis and got to see their exhibition which is I am very proud of them that they are one way to go to finish their diploma. We went for our mandatory pizza date. Why pizza? because that is the only choice we have in Seri Iskandar. Later at night, we spent some time went to Tesco just for a walk before we went back to college and get all drained because of the presentations we had. Bayyi was an exception that she had no reason to be tired and still mingling around that night with her 'friend'. We left at 7 the next day so we only get to say bye to each other and not get any emotional because I was running late for train. I'd always cherished every single memory I had with them. Though we may not be together in the future, I hope this friendship remains as what it is always is, a love and hate relationship like no other. We barely take selfies together or descent photos since we did don't hang out as much as we did with our course mates, but we spent most our time together if we take sleeping time into account. teehee. Well, we did have lots of embarrassing photos which is seriously inappropriate to post. I had these people who would tell me they had given up to wake me up every time but still did or keep one saying they had given up to help me but ended up helping me all the way.

I am always grateful to Allah for them even though Raihan always made up her mind to not be in the same room with me at every end of the semester and without her knowledge, I will write request letter to the college officials to be partnered with them again and that is how we ended up 3 semesters together. I know Raihan loved me even though she did not say that to my face but I have always heard that she is excited every time I am coming back. Come on Raihan, lower down that ego and tell me you love me like I do. It is amazing how 4 completely different ladies were able to bear with one another who is absolutely not-my-type-of-friend. In 42 weeks, we had gone for not more than 10 dates altogether and our weekends were only involved sleeping and picking up fights but I still think that is the best after all. We do not need a fancy occasion to have fun. We can turn a normal chat to a very funny one, every time.

Thank you for being my motivators, my loyal listeners and honest critics. Thank you for letting the room got messed up every time I am meeting my project deadline. Thank you for being such a good friend to me, Raihan and Balqis (we still have another semester left, Bayyi. We'll see). Thank you for being part of my life bijes.

I AM GOING TO MISS YOU BOTH (Bayyi who?)
