Hey I'm Zulaiha Shereen. Zully for short :) I'm 18! Can't live without my mum, my whole family, friends, and ice cream <3

It's 5 a.m and I can't sleep.
Knowing that this isn't the normal Sunday night that i've to sleep early because i need to rush back to college the next morning for German class. Yes, that means that my college life officially ended. I wouldn't wanna use the word 'finally' because I wasn't so eager for it to end so quickly.

The last 2 weeks here had been very hectic and exhausting. Had bench work classes, then had to find time to clean my room and practice for the dinner performance. Went out every single night on the last week in college and I'm really glad that I got to spend time with my friends.

You know, honestly I didn't remember feeling this sad and emotional leaving high school. People say high school life would always be the best and most memorable time in your life. Yes, i've had fair share of great memories in both SAB and also Melawati High. But, college life turned out to be even more amazing. 20 months ago, I would've not even thought of enjoying myself in GMi, let alone miss it once it's over. But now, it's only been one day since I left and I can't seem to accept I wouldn't go back there.

No more waking up at 7.30 and freak out because class starts at 8.
No more late night gossip or let's just say girly talks with them roommates.
No more eating together in our room and one of us will eventually say "Dah lama tak macam ni..:)"
No more eating lunch at Wak Dol.
No more jogging at Alam Sari..
No more red uniform..

What I'm gonna miss most is definitely my classes there, and my awesome bunch of crazy, funny, and intellectual classmates. Really you guys, I'm so gonna miss all your spontaneous jokes.

All those things that you guys say over and over again in class until it gets stuck in our heads (Reen and I), until we even say it in our rooms, and the 'taglines' will spread to our roommates. Those funny phrases like , "Ngaku ahh" , "Kerja nak senang" , "Lain macam ehh" , "benda senang pun nak kena ajar ke?" , "tenang..tenang" , "geli-geli je" with that particular tone.




I'm gonna miss those fun times we've had in vorpraktikum eventhough it could be a tad stressful and pretty damn exhausting at times. I'm gonna miss the ever-so-lovely Frau Simone who's always, always so graceful and nice to us. I'm gonna miss chemistry class ; who would ever thought that Miss Cynthia, the lecturer that I fear the most in semester one would be so caring and loving. I'm gonna miss being too stressed out in Ms Atikah's mechanic class, until there comes a time ( a few times actually ) when I just couldn't take it and cry. And then there's physics class, which we've had 3 lecturers. Miss Fiza and Miss Shikin, not only are they awesome in teaching, they're also the sweetest and even treat us like friends, being so sporting and always 'belanja-ing' us , making our bond even stronger. Not to forget the petite Ms Fouziah who's actually also very sweet but can be really strict with our paper 5. Haha. Mr Bo and how his contagious laugh. And of course, Miss Fateha or better known and Cik Fateha. I'll miss how she calls me Cik Leha in that high-pitch voice of hers, and how our class would laugh for like every 5 seconds in her lesson. They are all a dedicated bunch who wants the best for us.






But mostly what I'd miss the most is the life there, spent with friends. Like the late night walks with Jun or Reen around campus just because. I'm gonna miss arguing with Reen almost every day, and then she'll say "buat hal lah" in that tone. And she'll also go on and on saying "dah tak lama dah awak nak annoyed dengan kita, tak sampai sebulan pun" everyday. And then poof, one month went by with a blink of an eye.  Those fun study group with Bat and the rest. And how Syadza and I call each other 'baby' . The  rides back home, be it by train or car. The times when we went for karaoke and sang our hearts out. The gossips. The never-ending drama. The scandals. The heartbreaks. Crush ; new crush, old crush, some even have forever crush. The spontaneous outings. The "Sunday night rituals".  I'm gonna miss all these. Like seriously.






I've never been to a boarding school before so obviously these lovely girls ; Reen, Jun, Qilah and Qur are my very first roommates. We practically live together and see each other's faces almost every single day. Not to forget the other girls. There's only 14 of us, so just imagine how we can easily bond. Goodbyes are never easy. But this time it's extra hard. You know, that moment when you're packing your stuffs, and one by one came to you, hugged and all, said some things, and tears started rolling down your cheeks without you even realizing it. It's just heartbreaking. I'm gonna miss each and every one of you girls. Especially the ones who are close to the heart. You know who you are.

And then there's the Graduation day & dinner. You can't help but to think that it would be your very last time seeing some, or maybe most of them. Who knows, the next time you'll meet them is in 5 or 10 years time. Whoah.



In the end we have to realize that this is just another phase in life that we have to go through. It's gonna be hard at first. But there's always skype, twitter, facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and what nots. So it is almost impossible for us to drift apart.

To all GAPPians '11 , thanks for this amazing, wonderful, and fun-filled journey. I'm blessed to be given the chance to be a part of GAPP '11 .

I'll end this post with the video that's been beautifully made for us GAPP '11.
