The Blue Mile

Never before in my life has my life changed so much over a measly year. Making my way into HMC wasn't something I planned for a long time, it was kinda like a last minute decision. However, this course has never failed to please me (except the case of Mr. Left...). From the rigors of arguing in Critical Thinking to the fun emo-ity sessions in the council room. It's not all about the place, it's actually about the people going there that makes HMC what it is today. A few persona has been the catalyst in my transformation here in HMC; it would be just if I said a few words about each individual.

Disclaimer: (If you're not here, it doesn't mean you are not of importance (Mr. Left excluded...). I have to admit that I do not know everyone that well, so I only have space for the very closest, the people I think I know. Everything here is arranged according to alphabetical order.)

Ally Allison - First, I wanna say that YOU DON'T LOOK YOUR AGE! Thanks for keeping us all happy and jolly and crazy. Don't worry, Erik Erikson will lose to you, muahahahaha. I made a promise to buy you Bailey's in Langkawi, and I will keep my word although my sister wants booze too. Remember our food sale? Good times... And if you ever need a helping hand to clean out your new apartment, count me in. Josh can be my reference.

Chickenchop a.k.a. mishop - Thanks for everything we shared, and still looking at each other with the same eyes. And if at anytime you want to take revenge for what they are talking about on nothelp.tk, I'll be part of the plan. Continue to hope.

Evie the Diva - Aha, the lady next door. Ever since knowing you in High School, I have known you for your intelligence, constant dilligence and maturity. Although you are younger than me by a year, you possess more mature attitudes than anyone else of my age. Also, thanks for directing me to a wall during arguments when I overspeed. And also, thanks for the transportation! We do not share a close relationship after the third semester, but once friends, forever friends!

Josh Llama - We met in Critical Thinking class I think. At first, I knew you as the creative writer of amusement and sarcasm. That later changed. I thank you for disclosing part of your life to me, although I wasn't keen on disclosing any part of me yet. But, I promise, the time will come. Thanks for buying me the chocolate cake, it meant a lot to me :). One thing, I need to tell you that you need to take it easy when you play DotA, because you tend to become, erm..., opverexcited :). I hope your current relationship will last, so don't mess up! Llamas? Definitely. OOO, and anytime you need someone to help you clean up and wash your dishes, remember to call me!

Juju-Julian-a - I remembered the first time I met you inside Mr. Murali's class. It wasn't that you looked like a lala-idiotic-boy or something (Did I just say that?) but you just seemed to have a strange presence. But our friendship proved me wrong. I have never seen you break down before, and that alone is evidence of your hardy nature. Hardy I said, not stubborn. I also thank you for the guitar-strumming sessions you donated to the council room. See you in Psycho next year! Oh, can I borrow one of your bandanas for next year? PLEASE! For the sake of my egg-shaped head.

Lesley a.k.a. LCLY - The girl next door. When we were first introduced, things picked up pretty quick. Over the months, I have known you to be a reliable friend. I remembered when we were contesting for Editor, I was kind of disappointed to lose, but when you resigned, I was shocked beyond relieve and couldn't get synchronized and organized for some time. The irony of things. The most powerful tool you ever possess is the realistic care for friends, at that alone will take you far. Sorry I couldn't be of more help during the falls you had down the stairs, or better known as 'The Lesleys'. Also, thanks for keeping my sanity, especially after I kinda lost contact with Evie in the third sem.

Mellissa - I said this once and I'll say this again: 'If I was the mountain, you are the bulldozer pushing it'. You have been the primary catalyst for my enormous transformation in HELP. I thank you for the friendship we cherish. As the president of the Student Council, you have overdone the overdone with your flair in execution and trust in followers. Thanks for submitting some articles to the Matrics; I really, really needed them! And a friendly reminder: I am a very prude person! I hope your current relationship will last, so don't mess up! And a reminder quote from the Ball thread: 'This girl has so much momentum, she has completely driven me off my original track and onto a miraculous path I have never seen before.' No, it wasn't due to your GT.

Michael da One - Michael, Michael. To be honest, although we spent time together the most compared to many other individuals in college, I feel like we do not know each other that well. Probably this is due to the fact that we share a strong intellectual relationship instead of a disclosure firendship. It isn't your fault, and I don't really think it is mine either. I really appreciate the times you cared about me, although I can sometimes be a big pain in the arse. We still will have our chance to become closer friends during the long break you have before departing to Russia. And continue your reign as one of the DotA kings!

Stella Bella - I can't remember how we got to know each other, I think it was probably through Ju. To me you are the realistic girl, the girl who knows what everything should be like. And I surprised we got along so well considering your Chinese-Educated background. I hope you like the 'apparently-dead-man's-flowers' but you must know that was never my intention. I'm sorry for all the wrong I have ever did to you in the year, like perhaps, disturbing you while you were having exam-mood-blues. Also, if you still think I have a Faca Problem, just ask me to wear a mask :). Oh, and that Photoshoped picture of you was not even meant for a joke, you looked cool in it. Seriously.

Special Mention:

Shyuan - For going through a parallel experience as me.
Ezra - For being something more than I thought you were.

Why it is called 'The Blue Mile'? Because, truly. The reason our fiendship holds strong is because we have gone thorugh the pain and misery together. The blues. And that is what makes us human becomings. That is what makes us, US.

Remember, I am truly sorry for all the wrong I did.
