In an episode of Scrubs, the show’s two main characters, J.D. and Turk, broke into a musical duet proclaiming their 'mutual affection'. "Guy love. That’s all it is,” the song goes. "Guy love, he’s mine, I’m his. There’s nothing gay about it in our eyes."
From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to Good Will Hunting, popular culture is filled with examples of straight guy love. The sitcom "Friends” often crafted jokes around Joey and Chandler’s relationship, and in "Wedding Crashers,” Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson seemed to have something more like a tortured love affair than a friendship.
So you're probably wondering what's my point here. The whole point is - It's my good friend/bro/bro friend/bestie/bff/boo's birthday today. 22nd April, annually :D
As my dedication of affection for our heartfelt relationship, I'm gonna blog about our first conversation ever.
It was a warm humid day, & it was also the 2nd day of orientation. We were asked to volunteer as free labour. I went along with Hadi. I introduced myself, and naturally, i spoke in Malay. Hadi, being his nonchalant self remarked "Eh, ko Melayu eh?" And it went on and on with my explanation. Hadi then nudged the person next to him, "Eh Fiq, budak ni Cina tapi paham Melayu ah!" The rest was history.
Throughout semester 1.1 of poly, i admit, we weren't too close. It was a hi-bye relationship and the occasional introduction of new songs to each other. Yes i admit, i did stalk your blog on a daily basis, (hehe). I was pleasured when you changed your blog song to Gifts and Curses by Yellowcard.
But when "BLOG DOES NOT EXIST" started to appear when i search up your blog, a part of me died (ok, exaggeration)
We started to be sms/msn buddies during 1.2, when you approach me and enquired about my Friendster profile. You asked me about Sue Ann, and who Emo Crap is (We're currently co-owners of our twitter account). It came and went, then Aisyah came into our conversations. From daily smses and offline msn chats, our relationship developed. Slow, but it was sure. (: The low point was when you told me Aisyah is like....lost feeling. I WAS FREAKING ANGRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY. Haha, i recall scolding and demanding that you apologize to her for hurting her feelings (: Thank you for listening to me then.
Sem 2.1 came. It was the semester of music, laughter, heartbreaks, hopes dashed and basically; life experience.
Sem 2.1 and still i can’t forget her
Been counting on, it’s been more than a year oh no
Chasing her around but my soul’s breaking down
My heart’s crying out
That verse from the highly popular P802 love song basically sums up our Semester 2.1
New love interests came about. We talked about it on a daily basis. (shall not mention the love interest since its pretty much obvious if you follow us like a religion)
We both took big risks and steps to pursue what we wanted. There were ups and downs; but i am so very gladly to say that we went through that tough period together. God knows that i would have done without a listening ear for me to rant on and on about my obsessions, desires and crazy plans.
2.1 came and went. 2.2 came.
Time’s running out
It’s nearly over,
Friends say dude go on and tell her, but no
When will i have the guts to go, a step further
2.2 was basically a repeat of 2.1, except it was much much much better emotionally and mentally. From the very first facebook message (which she took 1 week to reply!) to the draught of no contact with her for a few weeks. ): good memories :D
3.1 Internship time. When i saw that you were with Air Asia with the rest of the guys, i was happy, cause you'd be all right in the group. When i saw that i was partnered with the boy-genius of the course; i thought (oookkk....)
Final list came out, and turns out we were together in Air Asia, and best of all, same MP group. Imba to the maxxx. Our MP results were awesome. Contrary to what others might say of our group (too many people, not fair, uneven, too much time during MP presentation and whatever other bullshit crap they came up with) we came out strong and aced the damn thing. :D another plus up
When 3.2 came, it was a very very good and happy semester. When i found out that you are together with Diyana, naturally our friendship will slow down. But i kept in mind to never repeat the mistake i committed against ____. Incaseyou must know, that was my most regretted decision. Poor judgement left my good friend alone when he needed me the most. ): no amount of sorries would ever make up for my mistake.
Now, we're on the brink of graduation.
A very Happy Birthday to you, good friend/friend/bro/bro friend/bestie/bff/boo :D
