B104 - the roller-coaster?
Once you get up, you can never get down...
I still remember ZY and I got
Your friends will never leave you half-way...
I think that is quite true unless they wanted to "commit suicide". Our batch started with almost 80 students but ended up only 56 of us graduated. Some had got offer from local universities… I heartiest-ly congrats them for getting the course they wanted. Some dropped off for some reasons... I truly wish them best of luck in their future undertakings. Some were required to repeat semester due to some unforeseen reasons... I felt sorry to them. But don’t worry guys… Just take a ride again after a long rest. I know you guys can make it!
You may ask did I ever thought of leaving half-way? I would say YES… I still remember the days where my gang and I planned to credit-transfer to other universities since semester 1… but once we proceeded to semester 5, seems no one raised up that issue again. How weird?
There are ups and downs, twists and turns.
That is not a strange fact unless you never ride on a roller-coaster before. My 4 years life at IMU was full with ups and downs, twists and turns. For better or worse, I’m so glad I’ve made some great friends at IMU. They were there when I needed them most...
Perfect strangers -> best friends!
B104 roller-coaster is an atypical one as it turned perfect strangers into best friends.
I enrolled into the course all alone and it was a nightmare meeting 75+ strangers on the first day. You may see it as an exciting experience meeting new people… True, but I would prefer a long-known friend instead of a complete stranger. Nevertheless, I’m glad that some of these strangers have become my best friends at IMU. Just to name some…

I would say LG is a kind person as he has a big heart (proportional to his size perhaps) and loves to help others. He is fun to hang out with as he can tell really interesting jokes despite of his book-worm appearance. He is VERY diligent… I guess no one would ever deny that and at the end of the day, he graduated with the highest CGPA in my gang. He has VERY high moral values as well… too many theories for him to tell you and I guess that is what holds him back whenever he planned to do some not-so-nice things.
For those who are not too close with LG, you may not know LG actually suffering from depression (diagnosed by our gang)… He has a big but fragile heart, so we’d appreciate it if you can try to avoid from hurting him psychologically and making him felt depressed. Other bad qualities? It’s for you to find out, if there’s any…
I would say YW is a “bridge” in my gang… He made good relationship with lecturers and my other batchmates… He is diligent and intelligent, with his ultimate aim of graduating with a first class honours degree. He is kind-hearted as he will also help out other
Another nickname of YW is “rate-limiting step”. As the name suggests, he is extremely SLOW in everything but he never late for exams. How weird? Remember semester 3’s Extemporaneous Dispensing practical exam? Opps…

You can hardly see ZY attending lectures as his biological clock is somehow different from normal homosapiens. He likes online-ing, chatting with his friends around the globe, styling and colouring his hair, and last but not least, clubbing. There was once we suspected ZY is not a human as he is gifted with a GREAT limbic system. For instance, he took only 1 hour (or less perhaps) to memorise stuffs that we need to spend one whole day on. We also suspected ZY has 4 stomachs (like cow) as he can eat A LOT, ask those who went Chicken Buffet with him…
Not forget to mention that ZY loved to text me especially during study break and it kept reminding me that the real exam date was approaching. Whenever I saw a message started with “How WK? I’m so scared!!! I have no mood to study now. Do you think I can finish if I start revising tomorrow?”… I know it was ZY!
CW used to be very close with me as we were TWINS. In my gang, we used to be the “gay” couple as
CW… we might not be as close as before but you will always be part of our gang. We truly wish you all the best and WE WANT TO SEE YOU GRADUATING ON YEAR 2009!!!

I see HP as a big planner. He is good in planning and he has great plans ahead to achieve what he wants… I guess he is someone good to talk to on those financial planning thingy. HP has a nickname – BOLITA (which made up of “bola” and “wanita”)… For BOLA, football is his life. He loves to play football and he has won some medals for IMU pharmacy team… For WANITA, he has a girlfriend for 5 years (or more?) and he has been a good boyfriend. For instance, he will not join us for Wednesday movie day as he always spare that day out to teman his girlfriend. Am I’m being sarcastic?
PH is a special friend of mine as he gave me the most “special” birthday present – Armada Strawberry. He is also my best “HI-HI” (or “WAVE-WAVE” or “YUPP-YUPP”) friend since semester 7… It was not hard for you to see both of us waving hands like there’s no tomorrow and greeting each other by saying HI-HI or YUPP-YUPP. Why were we doing that? We actually imitating someone (I’m not going to disclose the name here, you may guess it right if you smart enough?).
A life experience.
Like it or not, it’d still be a life experience after years of riding on that B104 roller-coaster. To me, it’s going to be a memorable one. 4 years is not a short duration and thank God I’ve been gifted with these great friends who completed the chapter of my university life. I’ll always remember the days we laughed together, the days we cried together (I’m exaggerating…), the days we skipped lectures together, the days we “plagiarized” together, the days we studied like hell together, the days we cheered together, the days we did stupid things together, the days we gossiped together, the days we stood at weird places together, the days we touchwood-ed together, the days we prayed together, the days we hang out together, the days we went out trips together… too many the days and I shall end it up with… the day we graduated together.
Once again, THANK YOU dudes! I’m so glad to have you all. To all B104ian – ALL THE BEST and we’re going to make great pharmacists! WE’RE PHARMACISTS!!!
* B104ian… I know I’m going to miss you guys BADLY, even from now… *
