I'm not the kind of guy that thought he'd ever get into blogging but school just ended for me and having to say goodbye to people I have known for over 10 years has just been so hard and with all these emotions opening up here I am.
I guess a background check is in order:
I was born in Pakistan, when I was 7 my family moved to Malaysia. At that time my English was pretty weak but I joined an International School. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a school for foreigners staying in a country. Locals are usually not allowed to join an International school as it follows the British Cirruculam instead of that country's. Anyways I've been in it ever since and I've met people from all over the world and the friends I've met have been amazing. My English now is probably MUCH better than my native tongue as it was the only means to communicate with everyone and I spent more time talking to friends than I did to my parents.
The best thing about this school has been there have been no social groups. Noone has ever felt left out which is a good thing because I'm not exactly the kind of guy who would have gotten along had there been a popularity contest. Saying goodbye was so emotionally hard for me as it was like breaking away from a family. Before it happened I used to pride myself in being pretty strong emotionally not having cried for more than 2 years but boy did I ever break down. Never have we all felt closer to each other than when we all had to say goodbye. People who I had hardly talked to felt like brothers and sisters. The speeches some of the teachers gave were just heart crushing. It was a really emotional day.
I thought I'd start blogging today as I feel I'm about to enter Chapter 2 in my life but not just quite yet. I still have to do my GCE O' Levels in a month, probably the biggest exams I'll take in my whole life and so my activity till then would be to the minimum. I don't know how active this blog will be but whenever I've felt down GameWinners has been the place to go so when I do post it will be to vent out some strong emotions.
Any comments would be highely appreciated if you feel like it. Or feel free to ask any questions about how its like growing up in an environment which might be very alien to most of you. It would also be nice to hear how you all felt when high school ended for you.
I know I havn't posted much information into my private life just yet but I'm still trying to get over school ending so I might be b*tchin and complainin about that for awhile.
Till Next time still lovin the gnomes:
Gnome Lover.
