Movie of the day:
Not another teen movie

Walking down the memory lane, I realise all these years, I do not have a permanent best friend. Yes, no doubt I have plentiful of close friend, but seriously, I do not have a really really close best friend where we'll do anything and everything together.
Kenny once told me that he evaluate all his friends/classmate after every semester to see if there's any 'worth' knowing friends. I hereby doing the same but to see if there's any plausible best friend candidate.
First stop, Kindergarten.
I barely could remember any of my kindergarten schoolmates. All I know is, my first kindergarten is at Puchong, call The Polka Dot Kindergarten. And our uniforms are all polka dots. I finish my last year of kindergarten in another kindergarten located at Petaling Jaya. This very kindergarten provides lunch for us brats. And I love their lunch. Menu includes vegetable congee, shaped biscuit with cold cocoa drinks or sometimes soup. I like their vegetable congee the most. Even now I'm still thinking about that congee and no one, NO ONE can cook as good as the principle's congee. And guess thats the only vegetable congee I don't mind eating.
Number of candidate: Nil.
Second stop, Primary School.
My primary school, I am very proud to say, I am a SRJK (C) Choong Wen student. It's one of the oldest school. It existed even before the forming of Malaysia. Since year 1 till I graduated, I'm still in the same old class, ie, the stupidest class. I believe I mentioned this before, during my year 1, I made friend with this guy and we immediately became really close. We even made people misunderstand us. But good thing never last long. So, there goes a plausible candidate into the pool of failure candidate. As years goes by, I made friend with this really nice girl. We can spend hours and hours talking non stop. But, like I said, good thing never last long. She transfer to another part of KL. Even so, we still keep in contact till sometimes later, we both were too busy and thus another candidate into the pool of failure candidate. During primary school, the pool of classmate's future career is so wide that can be anything and everything. All different background, different personality and different ambition.
Number of candidate: Zero.
Third stop, High School.
High School, the place I call life changing place. Year 1, I am such a badass. I mingle around all the wrong people. Thinking that I am cool. And the results of such life? Sucky results. Year 2, I am so traumatized by my sucky result and decide to turn over a new leaf. I do not really mingle around but manage to made friend with a few of smart people and went tuition with them, for the result's sake. And my result immediately increase dramatically and also the year I met Nicholas. Year 3, I am so freaking sad that with my result, I am allocated to the last class. I mean hell, base on my result, I should be allocated to a better class. In the last class, I manage to found about two to three classmate who are in the same shoe as me. But regardless of being in the last class, I studied even harder to emerge from that sucky class. But, I must say, in that class, I made alot of good friends. Year 3 is where I am being treated as a real friend and the smart one in the class; is where I met Pauline and MunnSing; is where I got the best student of the class award. However, the pool of classmate's future career is still as wide as ever. Year 4 and 5, we were centralized and separated base on our plausible future career. I'm in the sub-art stream where my classmates' future career will be mostly business or art related. And thus a better understanding between fellow classmates. But I was wrong, even when we all have a closer set of mind as compared to the science people, I do not really mingle well with them this is because everyone already had their very one clan. But I did met Alvin, GX, Shing Yi, Leeza and William.
Number of candidate: 8
Forth stop, A Levels
Taylor's University College. Where the pool of possible future career drew smaller. Either economics, finance, law or mathematics (which is also economics). Here, I met alot of fine people. The one who gave a real big impact to me are, Jennifer, Roxanne, Elizabeth, Michelle, Cyril, Bee, Shane and Cheah Ying. I had lots of fun and learn so much from them. Needless to say, 18 months passed so fast that I do not even manage to get to know them better.
Number of candidate: 8
Fifth stop, Law Degree year 1
Help University College. Where everyone's passion are the same. Law. I had even more fun here. I became very muhiba. I learned the Indian culture, the Malay's culture and even some African culture. I started to attend parties invitation like Deepavali and Hari Raya. I went Nasi Bryani with fellow classmates and friday date with banana leaf rice. The consequences of such blissful and carefree life, crappy results and re-sit of exams. Nonetheless, I made the most close friend ever. They are, KahJun, Krystle, Justin, Syateer, Nithi, Jamie, Alyaa, Brindha, Kulthum, Naeem, Jamal, Sidaarth and Dya.
Number of candidate: 13
Sixth stop, Law Degree year 2
Brickfieds Asia College. Where all the possible year 3 classmates gather. These people, although I do not know them well enough yet, but I can see passion in them. They are all smart and hyper hardworking people. And also down to earth. However, I dedicate my year 2 to studies but not befriend. Hence, till now, the only classmate I talk the most to will be Julia, Kelly, Dhayalini, Bayzel, Lucas and Kiren. I sincerely hope that either one of them could be one of my plausible candidate, but they are yet to be. I do not know them well, yet. Perhaps another year or semester will do the trick.
Number of candidate: 0.
Total of plausible candidate: 0+0+8+8+13 =29
And the chosen one: NONE.
Reason?
Simple. Reason number one, some of them were at another side of the globe. Reason number two, as time passed, people change and we might not be as close as we used to anymore. Reason three, I couldn't pick any of them. They all have their very own personality. They are all very special and one of its kind. So, I rather have 10 friends than a best friend. They all can satisfy my different needs. They are all equally important to me. And I cherish all of them.
Love,
Nichole
