Something To Live For

The four and half months of holidays has taught me something, live life to fullest.

After being in school for 11 solid years, i finally got the rest that i deserved. I'm blessed to have such a great family and the best of friends. All of them have their own values and also the small faults. But hey, nobody's perfect right?

2014 was a year filled with happiness, endless laughter, tears, and pure emotions. Being in the last year of schooling, you tend to fill even sad to leave those baggy uniforms, delicious oily canteen food, bastards and bitches roaming through the corridors of the school, the best teachers in the world, and the most important is your friends that you spent all those memories together. I for one, am not afraid or embarrassed to admit that i'll miss school. The school held too many memories. The teachers know me too well. Hell, even the kakak canteen can joke around with me. It was fun while it lasted. But like everyone else in this universe, i have to move on and start a new chapter. 

There was Larian Twelveans, one of the most successful event i organised with my squad. It was such a good day. The event went well as planned. Each of my squad did their duty and it went smoothly. I still remember what some of the teachers said to me. "This is by far the most organised event your squad ever handled." I am not lying when i say that i was smiling from ear to ear when hearing that comment. 

Then, the drama club was full of surprises. We worked hard and strong to win in both zon and district levels. My team was by far the most energetic, loud, cheerful, random school that participated. We took too many selfies than a normal person should. Even our teachers were embarrassed to admit that we were their students. The bus ride was something else. Not only they were actors and actresses, but they were also singers. Some of them have very nice vocals, but the other half just should just stick to singing in the showers. The other drama club was also a life changing experience. Again, we were the most the loudest bunch there was but who cares. Even though we didn't win, y'all win in my heart. Everything comes with such bitter sweet memories that will live on forever.

Merdeka Raya celebration was something i looked forward too. Some of my friends agreed to match colors of our outfits. The pictures we took were just beautiful. All of us had fun singing our hearts out to the national anthems and waving our national flags proudly. It was sight not to be forgotten. A few weeks before that was the school carnival, and let me tell you something. Every sweat, arguments, late night planning, early morning cooking was worth it. My class did the best that we could selling, marketing our class booth and whatnot. At the end of the day, we won! I went home feeling proud with that achievement. One of the best events ever.

I love planning events. Sometimes too much. Planning a friend's surprise party and an annual dinner wasn't easy. Luckily i have friends who were so kind to help out. From ordering button badges, to being scolded by my parents, and loosing more sleep day by day. It took a toll in the daily routine. But in the end, both events ended with BANG!
The surprise party was indeed a surprise. My friend did not suspected anything was shock to the bones when they brought the brownie and started singing the birthday song. His face and reaction was just priceless. The annual dinner went fine, we barely survived with lack of my money and man power. But the dinner was a success. We even had a photo booth service to capture moments. The teachers joined the fun with students. It was such a beautiful scene watching the teachers and students interacting with each other. We managed to pull it off and i couldn't ask for more.

Then came graduation. The one thing that i love about it were the pictures i took with my friends and teachers. With the people that i might not encounter in the future. It reminds of the friendships that were bonded before. Also, the pictures held memories. Such memories. Everyone dressed in suit and tie, for the guys, while the ladies try to outdo each other and teachers. The venue added the serenity to the environment which was both fun and exciting. I was glad the school held the graduation in the best way possible. 

It was  something to look back and smile.
