Today's my last day at college. I must say I felt light-hearted even as I drove to college...and why not? After 3 years of the monotony of attending classes, driving to and fro college each day, putting up with AWFUL cafeteria food, and surviving on McD as my staple food for the days which I escape the deadly jaws of cafeteria food; who wouldn't be happy to know this is my last day. The last day i step into KDU College Penang for classes, ah...sheer bliss...a historical day to be noted. Hence a blog entry to commemorate.
Ah...reflections on college life. The pleasant and fun moments which I never want to forget (meeting great people, making great friends, the joy and satisfaction of getting good grades and grinning upon receiving an exam-results slip), and the not-so-fun moments I'd rather forget (e.g. enduring hours of lab classes...someone should tell those KDU folks that it's frustrating to sit in Lab 1, 2 or 3 where you need to sit with ur head angled 90 degrees to the side in order to see your lecturer...duzzin matter if you guys upgrade da whole lab of computers to those snazzy IBM units with LCD panels, a stiff neck is still not the "in" thing...).
Reflections on college life makes it compulsory to mention the food served at Le Cafe, a section of the cafeteria allocated to the H&T students to cook and sell their "delectable" culinary cuisine. Trust me, the food served goes BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION. Red ants floating in hot mocha, weird looking greenish goo served as dessert, fish-n-chips served without tartar sauce (they plunk a blob of coleslaw at the side of ur plate...and that becomes your coleslaw, tartar sauce, mayo, and veggies, all-in-one-blob-of-goo, so to speak *shakes head in dismay*), coleslaw with veggies DRENCHED in vinegar to the extent where it's like eating slivers of cabbage soaked in a solution of 55% mayo and 45% vinegar, and not to mention the multiple cases of food-poisoning my poor friends and I faced, utterly unthinkable! Still, students eat there, for mere fact that the tables are nice (those Starbucks-kinda tables) relative to the tables on the other side of the canteen...and that they serve a variety of food (more like in-class experiments, sold to generate profit)...ah, what can I say...I'm happy to not have to eat there anymore, I'd rather live on bread-and-butter at home than to suffer lunches at Le Cafe. Ok guyz, let's all say it together now... *ABSTINENCE FROM LE CAFE'S FOOD GUARANTEES GOOD HEALTH AND LONGEVITY* =p
Still, I'll miss college, once I get past the initial "I'm Free!" feelin, I'll probably miss meeting friends and some of my lecturers....all those people who have helped me endure college life, lend a listening ear whenever I gripe and whine about the librarians (and give some of their own opinions of those librarians as well...you guys just lurve calling 'em 'Barbarians' don't you? =P), keep me sane and healthy throughout class-days monotony and 'deadly' assignment deadlines, help keep my head firmly on my neck whenever I get good grades (i.e. ensuring that I don't get my head in the clouds), and whenever I get not-so-good grades (i.e. ensuring that I don't chop off my own head in a remorseful act of self-punishment for not studying consistently =P). So here's a toast to college life, and a toast to all you who have survived college life, and to all those who came out alive after eating at Le Cafe ;) ...cheerz!
