It's been a while

Hello. Assalamualaikum.

It's 3.35 in the morning and this marks the second time of which I had tried rolling on the bed to lull myself to sleep, to no avail.

I've been awake doing my assignment and there's a bit more left, I decided to sleep and finish them off tomorrow and no..I can't sleep. So I woke up, turn on the laptop and carried out with more bits of my assignment. I decided to sleep and no, I can't. And here I am, typing.

As I lie down on the bed, forcing myself to sleep, I couldn't help but to think of the glorious days of the past. 

I don't know why, but lately, it seems like I have been missing my CFS days. Those wonderful 2 years spent there. Oh, I'm gonna cry thinking of the good times that I had.

I think of the mahallah. The best room that I've ever had, my awesome roommate, my amazing cranky neighbours, my best friends, my cool classmates, lecturers, classes, those old buildings, the extremely freezing rooms at the LY building, the library, those late nights chit-chats I had with my roommate just when we were about to fall asleep, the introduction to the world of fandom and Japanese dramas. Hana Yori Dango, Matsumoto Jun, Arashi. The people who brought me into that world. I kind of missed those days. 

KBS World is currently re-airing 'Boys Before Flowers', the Korean adaptation of the immensely popular manga 'Hana Yori Dango' and as I watched the series, I couldn't help but to compare it with my beloved Japanese live-action Hana Yori Dango which starred the talented Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun. 

I cringed in disgust upon looking at the weak-willed, passive and dependent character of Geum Jan Di as compared to Makino Tsukushi's independent, driven, strong hearted attributes. I love the memorable background music, soundtrack, the flamboyant F4, the scene where Makino punched Domyouji, the elevator scene, basically every scene there is in Hana Yori Dango! Hana Yori Dango will always be my favourite and most beloved Japanese drama. It is through this drama that I have delved deeper into the short-lived years of fandom (only 1 year and a half, to be precise). It was one short year, but it was a memorable year. One of the various phases of my life. 

I miss the old days. As I rewatched the series (Hana Yori Dango), I have developed a sense of longing towards the days in CFS. I remember that particular scene where my roommate and I laughed our head off, and we kept on replaying that scene over and over again. Sigh.

One more year left till I graduate. At least, I could say that I have no regret of leaving my college and university years. The college years (Foundation/CFS years) are definitely the highlight of my academic years. I have made friends, I have grown up, I have explored..something.

Apart from thinking of the foundation years, I have also been thinking about how I have just (recently) wasted TWO DAYS of my life watching Running Man episodes when I could have completed my assignments and submit them earlier! GAHHHH! It seems like the procrastinator trait is still strong within me. ZZZZzzzzZZZZ

Ah, tomorrow....
