Happy Birthday Maegyvear!!!

I was going to the library in college about 8.30 pm when a friend of mine told me that they are celebrating Maegyvear's @ Maegy birthday at the Bintang Walk (a narrow path dividing the two blocks in KTT) at about 9.30pm.

Now, who is Maegy you may ask, and to answer your question, Maegy is first and foremost, my classmate and a very good friend. He is one of the most popular and well - respected student in KTT, and in short, a gem of a guy.

It was already 10.00pm when Maegy walked along the corridor leading to the Bintang Walk, and we purposely switched the lights off. Somehow, it didn't strike him odd that the lights were off (it was meant to be a surprise for him). As he reached the Walk, we started singing "Happy Birthday" and you should have seen his face! Haha a mix of surprise, warmth, Excitement and awe were just so evident. Following that, Maegy followed the procedures of every birthday party as usual, and surprise was in store when Edwin "unveiled" the poster they created for Maegy. We had it stappled to the notice board, with it having an enlarged picture of Maegy and signatures and wishes all around it.

What striked me on Maegy's birthday is the fact that all of us have become so close to one another, as friends and comrade - in - arms, that we stand out for each other, and we celebrate each other. This was not the 1st birthday party in KTT, obviously, but knowing that all of us are going to leave KTT soon, its a real good time to just sit back at these moments, and reflect on what the past 2 years that we had spent in KTT has taught us. It has forged bonds of friendship among people who, before this, were complete strangers to one another.


It has taught us the value of life, and the joy we garner in helping and being there for one another. If not anything, KTT definitely has made us into better people, with the heart and will to make others happy, and I wish that all of us would stay the same even in changing times.
