I have completed my IB journey...

Just want to remind you all that we shouldn't be so solemn and always enjoy the present to its fullest. After all...

"Flowers in full bloom do not last forever"
words of the Principal from the hit Japanese drama,
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Hana Kimi) / 花ざかりの君たちへ

• “mencari seorang teman seperjuangan bagaikan mencari sebiji benih pokok dalam semak yang berduri..bersedialah untuk dilukai, jangan mengalah untuk terus mencari..andai sudah kau temui, sayangilah ia dengan sepenuh hati semoga ukhwah itu akan kekal abadi..”

• "Usah ditangisi perpisahan ini, jika ada rezeki pasti kita akan dipertemukan nanti..jika tiada rezeki, semoga Allah kurniakan sahabat yang lebih baik dan lebih kekal..jika tiada rezeki juga, semoga kita dipertemukan di syurga nanti..=)"

• “Tiada nikmat terbesar selain nikmat iman dan islam yang ada pada orang mukmin melainkan teman-teman yang soleh. Apabila kamu merasai kewujudan kasih sayang yang ada padanya, maka genggamlah ia dengan seerat-eratnya…”

I don't care what you say about this picture :P

Here are some of the conversations or dialogues from KMB. It's interesting, really. Try finding yours if you can.

(It doesn't really mean these people always say these stuff, it's basically everything that I ever heard of either frequently or occasionally or even once)

Teachers

Malay
Cikgu Hasni: "Ingat selalu, sastera tak rigid"

English
Ms Oja: "I would say someone like Adlan is witty"
Me: "What's witty?" (while looking at Nina trying to get an answer)

Ms Nora: "Adlan, if you talk fast like that, no one's able to catch what you're trying to say" (after my Eng Oral)

Mathematics
Ms Kamariah: "You looked familiar...You reminded me of someone..." (during the first semester and the first consultation)

Economics
Ms Diana: "Walaupun jawapan Adlan tu merepek, tapi sebenarnya betul" (during the topic of Unemployment)

Ms Azizah: "You always say government should do this, government should do that, actually, YOU should do this and that" (her response towards our essay answers)

Biology
Ms Iliani: "Adlan, what is the meaning of degenerate? (on the topic of Proteins Semester 2)"
Me: "Urm, (while thinking for a dictionary term) it means destroyed, terhapus..."
Ms Iliani: "That's why you cannot get 7 for Bio."

Chemistry
Sir Fadzlanor: "Adlan, awak suka Chem tak?"

Ms Fauziah: "Let's party! Party! Party!" (after Chem Paper 3)

Me: "Have you made up your mind?"
Ms Yatie: "Yup.. You got what you wished for..(on her response of my group's TOK presentation marks)"

Am I glad it's all over?
Yeah, definitely.

Do I feel sad?
Sincerely, I do actually.

Am I happy?
Yup!

Do I feel empty?
I'm not a business student, so no :P

It's been one heck of a ride in KMB and I thank Allah for that...
