[17.7.2010] convo mag photoshoot

had it at the bukit jalil park. nice place. big land, many ponds, nice photoshoot spots. good place for relaxation, a time with nature, peaceful and quiet. clean, beautiful, nice place to just have a slow walk too. but, i'd prefer if it had more trees for more shade, as the sun here in KL is blazing! it was here also, joseph and jamie had their pre-wedding photoshoot.

we arrived early in the morning. 8am?

after a lil prep, we started with our group pictures. our class of bout 110 people were divided into our respective groups..where our groups are basically the usual gang we stick with in and outta class. so, here's mine! <3

we were formed during the 1st year of our degree.

we never fail to celebrate birthdays together since.

it was them i hang out with before, during and after class.

this was the group of friends i prayed for before i came into uni.

they were, is, and will be..an answer to my prayer. a blessing to me.

we then proceeded to taking our individual pictures. since i'm gonna show them off, i shall talk a lil bout them aite? :) alphabetical order, it is.

elaine aka laine

it was the 1st day of school at imu.

nat: hi! i'm natalie.

jann: janning. :)

nat: janning?! oh! my friend wants to meet u!

jann: huh? *gives the wth face*

*laine came running excitedly with her bubbly face*

nat: this is janning. janning, elaine.

laine: so u're janning!

jann: oh!! chong's friend!

her 1st impression of me? 'wah what kindda friend chong has? so lansi!' hee.

lil did we know, we ended up being very close. she's the only one in class that stays damn near me, at TTDI too! we traveled by LRT together, car pooled, and it was then that we started talking. a lot.

2nd sem, i shifted into vista. 3 storeys above her. gone! we hang out everyday! had meals together, studied together, did our assignments, stayed up through the night, cried, laughed, and even slept together! :) i remember those nights when we studied the night before exams..stayed up thru the night and only sleeping when the sun was rising. it was torture..but we held on to each other and supported each other. also, we had bible study together, and we shared a lot - our joy, problems, frustration, food (hee!), and everything possible.

it was beautiful. i miss it. :( (jann has shifted out of vista since may 2010 - after 2 yrs of staying there and practically living with laine..)

elyn aka ebi

in the beginning, there were 2 quiet girls always with natty. 1 was ebi. the other was me. both of us never talked to each other. nat would always be in the middle. i always knew her as the other girl with nat. :)

soon we started talking. and realized we both liked dancing. at that time, both of us were also going to urban groove for trainings!

together, we practiced dance, taught each other routines, and even choreographed lil routines for performances! those were the days.. (we're both now rotten!)

she's one of the top in class, hence being the smartest among us. a shopaholic! hee.

grace aka gracie

her name comes right before mine in our class' name list. making us partners for almost all our activities/group/lab work. she was once pretty afraid of me, saying i gave out that kindda vibe. however, after getting to know me, she said i'm not scary anymore. lol. once a very quiet, gentle lil girl..cuz she's hang out with me too much, she's starting to know how to be quite naughty, firm and bully others. lol.

we started getting close when we were often partners during lab work during the 1st few semesters. cuz lab work has a lot of waiting to do, we started chatting a lot. from surface things to more personal stuff. we got pretty close and since then, started to share more. :)

thru her, i met her brother, hsing..whom i got pretty close to. not forgetting aarony, her church friend, and shimron, my kindergarten long lost friend! (inside joke) her parents are really nice people too! always inviting us over for food at least once a year. her dad, a pastor, is someone i look up to, and sometimes, i do approach him for advice and viewpoints. :)

tho we ain't the closest of friends, i somehow feel that we could click. or, maybe the right way to put it is, she's someone i hold closely to my heart. i'm always excited to hang out/catch up with her when our gang meets up. saddens me when she's unable to come along.

gal, thank you for opening up to me at times and sharing stuff with me. i'm glad we could talk. just know that if u need anything at all, i'm here. anytime. :)

jasmine aka jas

her name comes right after mine in the name list, hence, like grace, we were always in the same group. once didn't dare to talk to me, now, fearless. :)

jas may seem quiet, gentle, easily bullied and taken advantage of. but don't judge the book by its cover. she's firmer than she looks, and she never allows herself to be taken advantage of. sometimes i think she's firmer in not allowing others to climb over her head than i am. gosh. it's a good thing. :)

together with grace and i, we chose the same research project hence spending the whole sem 7 together. was fun travelling with them, staying with them, and doing everything else with them. :)

kindda sad tho, sem 8, i won't be able to see jas and grace anymore, like how i used to be able to this whole sem (the others are in other groups so it was always just the 3 of us..) jas and grace, however, got the same hospital for sem 8! ah jealous! :( oh! jas and grace are like..twins. lol. they have the same everything - hair styles, fashion taste, bags, characters, etc! it's cute, really. haha.

mogan aka mog

the only indian boy in my batch. 1st met him in the LRT, when laine and i was heading home during the 1st few days in imu. somehow, we started talking a lot, maybe cuz we traveled together, and somehow, found a lot in common.

we started sharing a lot. everyday there weren't enough time for us to talk. for hours, we would keep talking. text, phone, chat. then, he started sitting beside me in class and everyone thought we were together! hehe!

then, when i shifted to vista, he would come over pretty often and we'd talk all night, till the sun rises. ah those were the days! we just kept talking. bout, everything possible. i like how close we were. he was someone i could turn to. if something were to happen to me, he would be the 1st to appear right at my door. even if i told him i won't open the door. he stayed outside and waited till i opened it..

mog is 1 friend who really sayang, takes care, and is protective over me. i realized this recently. i'm touched, to know i have such a friend. its like, i know that if any guy treat me bad, he'd be there to support me.

i'm proud to know i have him. it's a mixture of feelings..of comfort, confidence, security, assurance, and joy, to know i have him. thank u, mog. :)

natalie aka natty

met her randomly on the 1st day of uni. we clicked, started chatting. found out she's from bandar utama! we were pretty glad to find each other cuz we stayed so near! she even offered me a lift back home on the 1st day! :)

bubbly and cute lil girl. awesome in directions. shopaholic, indeed! we were pretty close at one stage till she invited me over to her place for a sleepover. her 1st. :) she was so cute, she even made a sticky note and stick it on her wall, welcoming me! :) i miss those times.

got to know her elder bro and he invited us for the alpha course. together, we are attending it now. i'm glad she's putting the effort to know more bout jesus and to do something bout her spiritual walk with Him. it's my prayer that she would know how much He loves her, how real He is, and who He really is. :)

wishing we were as close as before..

sin yee

i still remember, on the 1st day of uni, she was one of my 1st few friends. it was with her and some other girls..we formed a lil click. however, as the days go by, i sortta found myself in another click instead.

years later, however, we're in the same click again. :) she recently joined our 'clan'. haha. and i must admit, we hardly talk and i don't know much bout her. another bubbly girl, she is. :)

but for sem 8, we're in the same hospital..for 11 weeks! a group of bout 10 of us was assigned there, which include mogan too. the only 2 people i talk to outta the whole group. so looks like there's lots of opportunities to get to know her better. :)

of course, these are not all that i've ever been close to in uni. but it's enough for now eh? :)

so anyway, back to the photoshoot...after the individual pictures, work was done! hence, fun time! :)

love this pic! :)

never fail to make me laugh! :)

we were done by lunch time, where we proceeded to mcD's nearby. it was so nice just hanging out with them. :) me likes!

oh oh! i forgot one more thing! myself! haha.

natty! thanks for being our photographer! :)
