This one's For You Gal
We met during our first year at uni. I was having a massive jetlag attack and the voices I heard from the room next to mine, was just unbearable. Oh God, will you guys just shut the gap for a moment. That was my first impression on Sherrie Hunney (at that time she was called mate, which i thought sounded like mek, as in the nicks they called kelantan chiqs, no offence hunz).I had a boyfriend at that time, which I constantly missed, which turn out to be just a waste of my precious time, money and money... and effort and there is money again. So there goes my first year of experiencing UK, missing Msia for this NO-GOOD-UNSCRUPLOUS-NOW-WORKING-IN-BATA boyfirend.
Sherrie and I, we werent close during our first year, due to well, I just thought she was like this Head Girl in my college during my A-s. Stuck up, bitchy, always thought she was rite, and always wanted to lead, ignorant that a leader must not only lead but to be a follower as well. So we were never friends then.
Second year came, I dont know why, but we all moved into the same house. Yea, Sherrie and I. We both sorta had a problem with another housemate (dont wanna get too deep into that one), but basically, that was the reason that brought us together. I came back to Msia, found out the boyfriend was cheating on me, that lying bastard. Came back to UK, to resume what's left of my life and heart, at that time.
Sherrie was there for me. We then became partners in crime. The time comes and we needed our 5 mins break, I would join her in her room, which actually leads to the lawn. And there, we talked about life, family back home and the stars as well. Everyday, this went on, the lil 5 minutes everyday, became 5 minutes every hour. And in that 5 minutes, a friendship was built.
I had this major crush on this senior, which in the end turn out to be black. That was the point in life, I had to make the biggest choice in life... my best mate, or the guy I love? They were both hating each other's gutts and I was stuck in the middle. I chose..I chose Sherrie, turned out sherrie was rite. In the end, I found out some nasty things about him I wouldnt wanna disclosed, as he might be reading this... who knows that nosy fella?
Third year came, I killed my love for that guy by working.. sherrie soon followed. That was where sherrie got this 'sherrie' name.. I gave her that one. It also soon resumed to be her clubbing name. We hit the Works (best club in birmingham) every friday, without fail. Had some escapades to our advantages. Or else, we would hit the couch watching friday nite porn. Or else, we'd play catching... or movies, or some decent nite out. Sherrie was all beauty and brains, she always had tonnes of guys asking her out. And she never left me out. I was her official chaperon.
And we soon graduated. She's now with Petronas. I found my baby through her. And she is now engaged, and sooo in love. And me and my baby are goin strong. I will let you in a lil secret... he will come in for merisik this raya.. it is when he will bring his parents to meet mine and put a lil ring on my finger. Sort of a way to say, he book me now. And we'll get engaged in June, insya allah.
I believe, that what I am today is because of her in a way. When I was feeling like trash, there she was giving hope. And now we are both moving on to another phase in our lives. Basically, it was with her, I became confident, and she had some cool beauty tips to come with her advises and words of wisdom. She is the bestest mate anyone could have. She is loveliest housemate anyone could even begin to hope for, I miss her Monica-like character. We arent housemates anymore. But the memories still stay with me, all that wacky stuff. And I would like to just Thank her.
And Sherrie, I love you. Best mate ever.
