It's Not Just LoveUCL's Malaysian Night was beyond my measure of superb. The show had it made. It was hilarious, it had talent, the script couldn't have been better and I especially took note of the precision and appropriateness of the sound effects. I was thoroughly entertained in addition to being totally in awe of my sister even though I have watched her perform a gazillion times. The stage has always belonged to her.
This is the very first time I have ever seen her in a major acting role and it being her first as it were, I must say I was pretty impressed. She danced, she leaped (literally), she cried and she sang! She was so much bigger to me than the other leads in the show notwithstanding the fact that her parts were considerably lesser than the other two lead actors. I am
so proud of her. So sweeeeeeeeet. *winks.
However, I am a little perturbed that not a
single word of praise came out from a friend of mine. Lately, friends have just been so surprising. A lot of things I thought was a
given in the role of a friend is long gone as are the days of Savage Garden. I, Alyaa, will now without hesitation stand by my ideals even if it means losing mates in the process. I cannot simply agree with everything that is said. What is friendship if you're not honest? What is friendship without
support? I shall no longer refrain myself from saying anything that may sting on condition that it is the truth and pertinent to the context of the situation. I've quite had it with the contradictions and the sole ability to only self-commend as well.
On a happier note, I was pretty elevated about being amongst Malaysians that night hence the hyperactivity; *note to those I met. It was refreshing for me to be able to see a lot of kids I haven't seen in a long time.
I am witnessing the phrase of 'What goes around,comes around' in the form of actual events. So, my dears, patience is virtue. Whatever bitter and hurtful things people do to you, revenge is not an option. Just sit back and watch. It is a proven fact in my books. Oh and always
always be humble. I cannot stress enough the importance of that. Honestly,I
know people who have done themselves disservice by gloating.

PS: UCL's Open Day on Wednesday was a great diversion from what I'm experiencing in college right now. Very serious but very engaging at the same time. Ambition was rife all around. JP Morgan Chase? Ernst & Young? Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein? Emm...I'm still trying to get
into a university.
