We had no money, we had nothing. Yet we are at the happiest moment. All we've got was our innocence.
People always asked us: How come you UTPian - with different range of age (from the more *uhuk uhuk* mature age to the youngest one) can be so close with each other?
I answer: We had #Grapevines.
Time flies. Realize it or not, it has been nearly 5 years since the photos been taken. At that time, we had no real responsibilities; no bills to take care of; no money to exquisitely lavish; we were just our own freedom soul, getting together to have some laugh and fun, striding through life's up and down with only friendship and innocence.
Some of us survived with only RM500 per month. Some of us survived with only RM300 per month. It's just enough to get foods on the table, some gas in the car (if we had a car; which most of us didn't), phone bills to stay connected. We were deserted in the land of no man, trying to reach our pursuit of knowledge with every doubts in our heart whether we will make it or not; yet the bond created has endured the test of time until today.
We laughed, we screamed, we wept, we reflects, we walked. We ate, we whined, we joked, we tease, we worried, we talked. We learnt the lesson of life one step at the time. We poured our heart out to strangers. Strangers that magically becomes friends.
Sure, we had our fights. It's not every day that we see eye to eye. Sometimes we are at each other's throat trying to make our points. Sometimes life throws us some unfair judgement that makes us feels like killing each other.
And the only things that STILL keep us together: respects and open-mindedness.
Multiple minds, multiple personalities, multiple disorders; combined with respects and open-mindedness.
No, we are not the most civilized lot. This was where we learn all about grief, trolling, bromance, scandalicious, seditions, backstabbing, and more. This was where we learn about the sweetness lifes can bring at its simplicity. This was where we learn to navigate our doubts, self-expressions, fun. People outside may not understand this. You don't believe it?
This is not gayness - this is brotherhood. HAHA.
No, this is not a paedophiliac act; this is just sisterhood. AHAHAHA :P
I am not trying to making a point here. All in all, this was our best moments - maybe in life. We managed to capture it in photos, but we can't captured the time; nor can we reversed the time to experience it again. Time will never stop, and we will never be young again - but if the present seems depressed, or the future seems bleak; guys, remember this magic moments, and may those grief moments be forgotten for a while.
P/s: From the vines and grapes, thorns and twigs; which makes up the grapevine, comes the best wine.
P/p/s: Sue, done!
