NZ : One Year

Second semester has ended for us and that means in 3 weeks time, when we reenter college, we'll be seniors ):( I'm both kinda excited because I got to be faci (!) but I'm still sad from leaving the seniors today :( They've officially graduated from KYUEM and it's been nothing but great pleasure to be their juniors. Couldn't have asked for better seniors who have been so accommodating and so sweet to us! First sem we even watched Disney movies together dalam common room and we'd have our gossip sessions with Haniesha and how we wanted to get the dish on everyone in KY when we first got here. And now they're leavinggggggg, nuuuuu. Love them to bits and tiny pieces, insyaAllah I'll get to meet them in the UK and we'll be reunited (lol gag this sounds so cheesy). Can't wait though! I wish them all the success in the world and seeing their close bond throughout the year I've been with them, I genuinely wish them all the best and may they still be good friends in the years to come, amin.

This last week has been event filled ! We had our Garnet Farewell Party and our End Of Sem Dinner as well as the Graduation Day which was this afternoon. I had so much fun and I was just basically treasuring every moment with them. I can only hope that our batch can establish a close friendship with OUR juniors. A biiig family ! Can't wait for all the events that awaits us as seniors in the next semester. In the meantime, I'm going to relax and chill and calm down and zen. Oh, that reminds I need to get a pilates video and a yoga mat.

For our end of semester dinner, as usual, each house had to submit a video for the Video Competition. I had a great time filming it and though we didn't win (Congrats Topaz and Diamond!), I personally wanted the video to be more of a gift from the juniors to the seniors as opposed to winning a prize. Though winning is always kinda great.

I hope you enjoy !!!!!

First up! Garnet Farewell Dinner.

The theme for the dinner was 'Revolution In Time' and I dressed as a hippie girl.

Proof

The event was a success ! We were blessed with so many food and the deco was so good; thanks Zak, you pulled it off !!

It was a great time and opportunity to hang with our Garnet seniors who we are especially close to because of all the events. I love Garnet and it's so amazing how each and every event the college hosts, every student is just so dedicated to their respective houses and shows our semangat ! I selalu gila lose my voice from all the cheering (read: screaming).

Certs were given to the committee and at one point during Ram's performance, he was all choked up and I almost cried ! So emosi.

Performances daaaaamn good. Especially Olan, Hatim, Asil and Kanda's. They sang lagu... We Are Young eh ? Ok dah lupa but it was something everyone could sing along to. That was very cool, bruvs.

And there was End Of Sem dinner. DH is seriously the last place you would want to host an event at. The sound system was disappointing because you couldn't really hear the videos and it got noisy so we couldn't really hear speeches nor performances ('less everyone kept really really quiet) (in which they did because the performances were too damn good to be distracted away from).

I think the best part was definitely the performances. Each and every one of 'em was daaaaaamn good. I don't think I have any favourites because they were all equally amazing, but if I HAD to choose, I'd go for Kashif and Aidin's guitar playing. That was basically when the hall went silent for a good 5 minutes to listen to actual and pure music. LOVED IT. I saw the teacher's expression and it mirrored the students; they were all of awe. I wish someone had recorded it and posted it up on FB or something so I could see it again. The best !! I was blown away.

Oh and how can I forget the Coldplay performance. Zikri (a super senior) came down for a football match earlier with the seniors and juniors and decided to stay for the end of sem dinner as well. He performed 2 songs; Yellow and The Scientist. Damn, his voice can melt ANYONE. I thoroughly freaking enjoyed myself and found myself totally enthralled and fixated. SO GOOD SHAL.

And how can I forget the fact that GARNET WON HOUSE CUP ?!?!?!?!?!?!??????!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOH, so much love for Garnet and it could not have been a better gift for our Garnet seniors as they end their stay here in KY.

Then it was graduation !!!!!! I got really emotional, I don't know why. When Ram was awarded Best Scholar of the Year, basically the whole student body gave a standing ovation because seriously, he deserved it. Such a nice and cool guy (he beatboxes and is an avid gamer!) and he has been such a great House Captain for Garnet. Saw him teared up and Amal and I too teared up lololol. Well done, Ram !!! We're all so proud of you !!! :) :) Go kick ass in Cambridge !

Mum said a graduation ceremony is supposed to be somber and dull, but ours was not hahaha. We clapped and cheered and whatnots. It was quite entertaining. The emcee's would call out your name and followed by your sponsorship and the university you got into as well as your course. More than anything, graduation day was inspiring and is motivating me to go all out for my A2, insyaAllah.
