Adam and Eve

Yesterday's breaking fast outing makes me remember that half of the AUSMAT batch consists of females and how we, males, ignore them during our time in Millennium Court.

Many things has changed since we landed in Frankfurt, but the very thought of the experience make me smile inside; It was just plain immaturity from both sides.

The first day of our stay in PJ, we got together to eat at the MC's Cafe. Most of us were there, but nobody talk to the other sex. And since then, it has been downhill all the way for the Malays and uphill for the Non-Malays; Nick is now with Stephanie and Gurmukh is with Yuni.

Nobody would ever believe if I told them a bunch of boy and girls, fresh out after SPM, don't talk to each other. It's time when your pheromone level is at its highest (I assume). Strangely enough, it was exactly that that happened.

We have all together 11 Malay girls in our batch; From above (I mean places where we study, so don't get the wrong ideas please) Yiko, Emi, Ili, Huda, Diana, Elisha, Amira, Aneem, Ilham, Rawai and Farah.

At first I talked quite a lot to Aneem and Emi, since they're my friends from my high school and matriculation college respectively. But then, with no concrete reasoning, we kinda became cold to each other. Mind you, it's like a man vs woman situation.

I spoke respectively well with Amira, cause she's from KUSSES and people in KUSSES usually has good relation with people from SEMESTI.

I spoke to Huda on the first day of class in one of the Deutsch lesson. It is something like this : "Wie heisst du?" *moments of silence* "Ich heisse Syazwan, und wie heisst du?"; and it went on like that. Ever since I hardly spoke a hundred words with her.

Ili was the target, scapegoat or whatever you call it of the gang. No futher explainaton needed.

The first week there, we asked Diana about the mosque around KBU, so we can go for our Jumaat prayers. She gave us the right instruction, but the place was like 10-kangkang-Godzilla away from KBU and we found out there is a nearer mosque behind Centrepoint Shopping Centre. This also became a bahan for quite a long time. Gosh we´re childish.

Elisha and Ilham, I don't really remember them back then although we were in the same class. That shows how much we don't talk to each other.

I barely speak with, Rawai, Farah and Yiko since they were in Herr Baum´s class and I were in Herr Lambert´s class.

18 month has passed since our days in Germany. The relationship of our batch is becoming way better. I mean waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I didn't know Elisha can laugh without a break. I didn't know Ilham has a good sense of humor. I didn't know Rawai and Farah dig anime. I didn't know Amira like animal; She has giraffe plushie and a cow phone and god knows what other animal-based things she has. I didn't Yiko likes to drink Coke; I mean really like to drink coke, not the I-just-drink-what-I-have-in-hand type. I didn't know Ili can be so outgoing. I didn't know I wouldn't see Emi and Diana for a full year after finishing our Studienkolleg in Cologne.

And the most important thing, I know now they all cook good food.

Sorry of the 1 and a half year full of no outings, pasar-ramadhan-food (I know you all hold a deep grudge on this) and talkings.

Sorry about the hiatus. I, sometimes, mistook laziness with writer's block.
