After my English was dismissed at 2.30pm, Nishail dropped my bag along the corridor while I headed for the washroom. When I came out, I saw my childhood best friend, Cheyeene was sitting on the bench along the corridor for her next class. I went over to have a small chat with her. Around 2.43pm, I went to SE 2-12 to look for my friends who I will be meeting up. I just saw Ru Tian, who was among the firsts to come out from the class. Oh, did I mention that we celebrated Ru Tian's 19th birthday?
I asked her "Hi, Ru Tian! Where's David & Co?" She said "They're in class. Coming out soon. Well, I gotta go, duty calls!" As Ru Tian made her move, I peeked my head inside the classroom. Jun Hsiang and Teng Jie were heading in the opposite direction as me. These two boys are so mischievous! Not to create an awkward scene, I just casually said "Hey guys!" Jun Hsiang "Kar Marn, what a surprise! Where are you going?" I said I didn't know where to go. I asked them the same thing, they said "Oh, we are going to the university's rooftop garden. It's where the briefing is held right?"
"No, it's at the Jeffrey Cheah Hall- the college itself. Didn't you guys check on elearn where the venue is?" I said. Both boys shook their heads. We took the East Wing's lift but we realized the highest it can go it's the third floor. We had to go all the way down and used the long way to the North Building. We were about to head for the bridge, we bumped into Ru Tian at the Foyer. "Hey, Ru Tian, such a coincidence! Wanna join us at the college's rooftop garden?" Actually we have another birthday surprise for her but she couldn't name it. "Sorry guys, I love to but I can't! I have to finish some touches for the photography club," Ru Tian said.
Wow, that's a lot of forms on the table. I realized she was alone. Jun Hsiang, Teng Jie and I offered to accompany her until the briefing starts. She said "You guys run along. I'll be okay," I asked "Are you sure?" Ru Tian reassured me she's gonna be fine. So the three of us headed to the college's rooftop garden to chill out. The last time I came here was when my class was switched for a day. It's so good to be back again. I felt bad for the boys to accompany me for an hour before the briefing. Luckily, they are understanding but I still feel guilty on the inside.
I had a chat with Michelle- my former English course mate. 10 minutes before briefing, she said "Hey, it's good to have boys to help you out," I whispered "I know right?" We both giggled. The three of us headed for the hall. A weird feeling was the hall was stuffed, usually it is freezing cold! We sat the first few rows to get a clear view of the screen. We even reserved a few seats for our friends as well. It was just a few minutes before the briefing starts, we just mingled around with our friends and caught up with some from the first semester. "Students, please take your seats. Our briefing is about to start soon," Ms. Edith said.
We all soon took our respective places. The briefer said "Students, your hall's air conditioner is not working," Seriously? That's why I felt stuffed when I came in. She gave us a run through our respective course minimum scoring criteria. A form was distributed to all of us and a check list as well. I thought it gonna last for an hour or so. To my surprise, it only lasted for 50 minutes!
Malaysian students were dismissed, just left the international students. I had fun! The fun part is to you get to hang out with your friends after class.
