Life is as nuts as any university student can imagine. Exams and assignment datelines on the same freaking day. In this case, would you not call this insane? This post is in honor of another friend of whom I had the pleasure and chance of meeting. She...yes she is a she.....is one unique girl anyone would feel lucky to have ever met. Her name is Jo Anne. Miss Phuan Jo Anne. You guessed it alright. Her nickname in an instant that I derived was "PUAN".
"Puan" is a Malaysian word for madam.
Anyway, that's the first thing that popped into my head. No offence Jo. ha ha ha. Then names such as Joe, Joey and the like started popping out of my mind. Finally I just stuck with Jo. She is a very helpful friend, willing to share information anytime. Besides the fact that she is full of substance, she is as tough headed as a rock.
When I first met her, it was in a tutor class room that we were about to have our first class in a university. Guess what class it is.
ENGLISH. Freaking English. Oh well I rather take that than Bahasa Melayu.
So she walks in to class. I took no notice of her and went about wondering about the first day of university. Then our English lecturer walks in, Madam Tengku (she is royalty), greets us and ask us to introduce our selves. Ha ha ha ha. My first thought was " Its no different then high school. "
When it reached her turn to introduce herself, she actually caught my attention as the fluency of her language is top notch. Hmm I actually might have someone I can have a deep discussion on things. Much to my delight she is also very well informed of the latest happenings in the entertainment industry as well as the university I'm in. Must be because her sister studied here too. Runs in the family I guess.
Lots of information and the way this university is run was very much cleared by her. Thanks so much!!! I would have been lost by now if it weren't for you. Take for instance, when we need to register our next course and make our own time table in BETA year.
But enough of all that. How is she a slacker you must be wondering by now. Lets see now, she has great time management. Everything just falls right on time. Now if I were to see her plans for the week I would faint or rather ask how can you manage your other work. This plan is NUTS. NUTS. NUTS. NUTS. She is as busy as an ant. Taking an extra language paper on an already packed semester. Nuts!
I did tell her she is CRAZY. Ironically she said so her self too!
" I'm going crazy ahhhhh!!"
(If you are reading this Jo don't tell me you don't recognize your own dialog. )
Proclaimed crazy by herself eh. What more can I say. I thought this girl has guts to pack her schedule and heck she knows its crazy. My expectations on her score was not very high. I ranged her between 3.0 to 3.5. Why? Well, seeing her so tired and rushing here and there and not to mention juggling club activities I thought it would hammer here academic performance.
Final exam comes!
She looks like a dead stick if you asked me. Like a tiny twig hanging by the branch of a dying tree being swayed by harsh winds called final exams. I pitied her really. But I also told myself if she can pull it off she is really wonder woman. AND she is a year younger than me. I'll be damned. Really respect such performance and planing.
Results appear!
A whooping 3.70. I think but its still a first class. INGENIUS!
Totally unmistakable genius. Now is that not quality performance!? Totally awed. Too bad she wont be staying in Malaysia any longer than she can help it. Yep. . . she is a Japanese culture lover. So once she gets the chance, she is off. Imagine if she got together with a Japanese guy. They will be little Jo's running around. But currently she has a boyfriend. That's it for female candidate number 1.
Now that I have introduced the supporting towers, I shall move on to more unique fries. Those two I mention earlier are perfect. Perfect geniuses. Want me to harvest them? ha ha ha I doubt any price you offer me is going to cut a deal. Look out for male candidate No 2 in my next post.
