"Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies." - Aristotle
Today is a joyous occassion..because its an anniversary! Not a wedding, or a birthday...much more important (to me anyways), because today is a celebration of freinship :DBut first, allow me to explain why its so special..
Do you in know movies, when 2 people meet in some weird and magical way that makes you go "pfft...that never happens -_-"...well....this was not the exaggerated....(built it up, didnt I!)
but it was special.
What happened was this:
During my orientation (which i was planning to skip) all the international students were asked to stand on one side and the locals on the other. The internationals were then asked to fold a paper airplane with our name written on the side, fly it across the room, and it would hopefully land in the hands of a local who then be our "friend" to compete in a series of challenges.
The plan was simple enough, but the OCs (orientation coordinators...i think) didnt account for 2 simple details.
1. the number of internationals and locals were not perfectly equal..meaning some people would be left without a partner
2. Alot of people did NOT know how to make a paper plane...so they ended up writing names on a paper snowball and hurling across the room.
I, of course, made what you could call the "G5" of paper planes which soared across the room like a dart!...ok, im lying , mine shot a good 10 feet then feel like a rock....(going to stick with the lie...makes a better story :D)
So, all we had to do now was wait for someone to pick it up and we'll be partners.
who picked it up you want to ask?
(I've been watching How I met your mother...so lets build up a little more suspense before the reveal)
Suffice to say, a girl picked up my plane...and thats when we first met....to maintain ambiguity, I'm calling her Tsuki. (for those of you who know her, the secrets spoils here)
My first impression of tsuki was that she was really religious, shy and the type that doesn't prefer to have fun.
I asked her later (when we became good friends) what she thought of me and she said she thought i was a bit boring, nerdy and shy. (didn't have much to say so i kept on talking about university)
We had to do something about a blog...it's been quite a long time, I don't really remember the challenge...but I could tell, neither of us seemed pleased about it...I couldnt create make a blog to save my life ( I know the process is rather simple now, but before I used to get all confused with the interface....dont judge me -_-")
So we exchanged numbers and really that was the end of it....occasionally we would text each other to meet or something, but things came up and we werent that serious.
Now you must be thinking...THIS is the magical and precious friendship that I cherish...there isnt much friendship here is there?
Well, this is how i met tsuki...how we became friends was on her birthday.
It was the last day of the challenge thingy (dont have a better name for it), and we had to present something in melaca ( We study at cyberjaya, which is roughly 4 hours...or less..from melaca)
So it was a road trip! :P
As we boarded the bus, I saw tsuki...(at this point we werent partners anymore because we all had to break into groups of 5 and present something....my group did nothing, so i helped imran with his...this is how sephia was formed....but more on that later..)
At most, my conversations with tsuki were Hi and Im fine, so seeing her there was a bit surprising ( as I said, I thought she was studious and she wouldnt want to go for the trip)...I felt a little guilty for judging without knowing so i decided to be lively for the trip ( a rare sight o.o)
The bus trip was immensely fun, we sang, played music and got to visit some historical sites in melaca.
We stopped at a complex on the way there to refresh ourselves, so I got off with tsuki and her friends...we walked around the place and chatted a storm. It was at this point I realised it was her birthday...and luckily we were already at the store! In the end we (a friend and I) ended up buying her a phone charm....it was a two for one sale :3
Our conversations went through the day, we talked about almost everything...and thats when I realised..she's awesome :D
Tsuki invited me to her little birthday party (it was like only 5 people) where we ate cake and sang ( My life is a musical...I know), having already given her a gift....I decided to give her another one...a dance ( I was drunk on cake...cant be blamed here)
So i did the bachikoi bachikoi dance in the naruto opening...renaming it the tsuki dance. Moody danced with me...(who's moody? read my older post)
I made a complete fool of myself, but didn't feel a hint of shame...it was then, I knew...I found my friends)
