My Friends
Last night i was browsing through Friendster, just searching for any lost friends. I came to one profile, my friend's one. This friend, i happen to know him since Standard 1, 13 years ago. I remember, i used to hang out with him those day, used to lepak with him, eat with him during recess times. Standard 3, there was a reformation. The school we were studying that time, was a Secondary school, so, the gamen built a new school, just for primary students. So i was transfered to the school near my home, while some of my other friends, had been transfered to schools near their home. I remember when i was Form one, and i met him. He was Form 2 by then, he "jumped" from Standard 3, to Standard 5 straight.
When i met him, he was different, you know all show off, act as if he doesnt knows you. He knows my name, but he didn't even asked how was i doing, how things went after Standard 3. Anyway, as i was saying, i saw his Friendster profile, and i saw there, its written He studying in Tailor's College. I'm not surprised knowing him studying there, he dad is rich, and he's the only child. He managed to have a car when he was 18, i did too, but my car is second hand, and he's is brand new. I look at the clothings, and the suit he was wearing, wow! All elegant, For you information, he's body is huge. Anyway, good luck to him on the future.
A month ago, i was waiting for bus at a nearby bus stop. I heard someone called my name, so i look back and saw two child hood friends of mine. One is M, and another is S. I knew M since Standard 1, same class. He urine his pants once, and teacher asked me to lend him another pants. S was Standard 2 friend. I remember, people used to call him ghost. Because once he disappeared from the class, and then someone rumored he died in toilet. When he came back to class during recess, the class people ran at the back of the class, and screamed, hantu!. These stories is true, im not making up. Anyway, both of them going inside this Inova or was it Avanza. But it's a Toyota, and smiling at me. Most probably they think i don't have a car, and still using the bus. So i asked them, where they studying and who's car was that, S said it was M's car. I was surprised, and not surprise to hear that. M is still a student, same age with me, college student, but why do you buy a Inova/Avanza for college driving? M's dad is rich by the way, He used to stay my housing area, till one day his family moved to one of the Double Story housing near my place. His dad used to drive lorry, now i don't knowlah. They quickly close the doors and went off, maybe they scared I'll later asked them for a ride.
Not only them, there were others, about 4-5, or even 7 guys i know off, studying in well known colleges, and universities. Most famous spot, is LimKokWing and Tailor's. Most of them, their parents are rich. The thing i dont like them studying there is. They don't deserve to study there. During class times, how many of them wouldn't do their homeworks, and always cause problems in school. Even my SPM results are way better than most of them, but still, they manage to go to these type of places to study. It's not wrong to study there, but what's the point of spending thousands, just for the name of the place. There's this person who goes by the name of V. I asked V where he was studying. He said at LimKokWing, so i asked, "isnt that place kinda expensive". He replied "ok onlylah". Sometimes i feel with the money they spent wasting just like that, it should be given to poor people to extent their education. At least, they wont spent it just like that, just for the sake of name. Studying at LimKokWing and Tailor's is not something wrong, they have the best resources and expertise to teach students, but it's also waste if you go there just for the name, and fame you going to get.
As for me, i know my dad cant afford all this, and i don't blame him, for it. I'm quite thankful, sometimes i cant afford all this. For i might forget myself if i ever go into this kinda places. I think studying in this type of places, is not for me, so i have resulted to find a job. As least, i don't owe and bank money, when i get my pay.
