sigh. im gonna lose my buddy.
he's going to disrupt his ns in a few days' time, to retake his A levels this year. His sch had accepted him and he'll be back in school next week..
i can still remember that i didnt have a very good impression of him in the first 3 days. He was sleeping on top of me (erm, i mean double decker bed k..), and was hanging clothings down the bed. Of cos i didnt mind, but deep down inside, i was forming an impression of him, that described him as a selfish person.
Hey, i was very wrong.
For the first 3 days, we didnt really tok to each other. He did his own things and i was occupied with mine. No 'hi', no 'bye', no nothing. Total strangers and nothing close to being a buddy.
On the 4th day, well, we broke ice and thats when i realise that its true that i never formed correct impressions. Actually, im proud to say that i initiated it, and i guessed i did something that i ought to do. It was in the late afternoon, and everyone was preparing for Nights Out. I went to find my mdm for an OFF pass so that i could book out the next day. My buddy was behind, and thats when i learnt that he was looking for mdm to ask abt his disruption. i didnt know he was gonna disrupt.
And so, we waited in the office for a long time. Neglected somewhere in the office, we started asking each other a few passing questions. We filled up an interview form as well, and there was this yes/no qtn.. "you are close to your family". Without hesitating, i ticked yes. Being very curious, i peeped on the paper beside me. He skipped that question. I tried asking him, and was given a vague reply. i dared not ask more. Maybe he was trying to be funny huh. Ok, but thats not important.
So we waited in the office for long. Finally the mdm entertained my request and gave me my OFF pass. Then, forgetting totally abt my buddy, she went off and never came back till a long time later still. Repeatedly asking me go off first, my buddy didnt want me to wait for him or wait with him. Afterall, it was evening time, and the rest of the ppl were having dinner and preparing to book out. Though that might result in the missing of the Nights Out, i stayed on and accompanied him until the mdm came back and realised the 2 stranded souls in the deserted office.
from then on, we werent strangers. we shared food, music & entertainment, workload and company. Instead of seeing him as a selfish person, i changed my view of him totally. Cos he turned out to have the best character in the entire room. He tried to stand up (though not successful) for another poor guy in the room, against name callings.
And last nite, (the day that he confirmed his disruption and went sch to settle admin stuff), we chatted quite a while. One interesting thing was, one of his 2 relationships was with his teacher, 10 years older, and it wasnt initiated by him. its like WAH....
i guess there'll be alot more to dig out of him, but well, too bad he'll be leaving everyone.
i juz hope that he'll make good use of his time well, and produce his desired results this year.
Im gonna wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Goodluck, buddy!
