Elven Graduation

One morning, (on my graduation day to be exact^-^), I was getting all ready and Ahmad knocked hastily on the door shouting, "Alia, come quick! There's an emergency phone call!!" I was so terrified because Ahmad doesn't usually do that and I thought that something had gone horribly wrong with the Graduation and even my mom and dad came asking me to come out. But I was half getting ready so I was like, "what happened?!?!>_<" while Ahmad repetitiously asked me to be quick. And finally, he was like, "Nevermind. The person will call in another 10 minutes."

When I got out, it felt like waiting for HOURS for the phone call, I was scared at what I was going to hear. The phone rang and I picked it up on the spot and the person on the other end was like, "Hello?"

What kind of emergency phone call starts with someone saying hello? It should have been like: PLEASE I NEED TO TALK TO ALIA RIGHT NOW!!! ahahaha.

I sort of already guessed who it was because when I was getting ready, my dad mentioned it was a long distance call. And..

"Farah?!?!?!"

"ALIA!!!>_<"

"How ARE you?"

"I'm fine!:D"

*awkward silence*

"So you're gonna graduate huh?"

"yeap."

Well, it wasn't THAT plain and awkward actually. I just couldn't remember what we said because I was too excited at the prospect that I was getting a phone call from Farah!:D I haven't talked to her in a loong while over the phone and eventhough we can type a lot while chatting, it can be quite weird talking to someone you haven't talked to in a while.. Especially over the phone. Especially if it's so sudden.

Just a side story; once, Farah called me on my phone on my birthday last year (or the year before) and I thought it was an Indian lady who got the wrong number. And she called a few times and the line wasn't that clear. I was laughing all over when I found out who it actually was:P

Back to the Graduation Day, I mentioned to her I was getting ready and that the ceremony was gonna start at around 9am and that I hope she can be there.

"Oh yeah sure, I'll be there then."

"Aites, see you:D"

So I went to the Graduation Ceremony and then we lined up and sat down and the speeches began. At around 11am, when it was time for the scroll giving, I saw someone at the door looking kinda lost (ahahah). And suddenly the hall got really quite and was looking at her.

FARAH?!?!??! *shock shock*<-- me

So, Farah was quite late because she had to find a personal private jet to bring her to Malaysia from USA within... TWO hours. I do not wish to figure out how she did it. Because the most important thing was that she came:D

And some people were asking, "who's this girl?" and all I can say was that: She came all the way from America!! All the way!!!>_<

We had lotsa fun while it lasted:) But then Farah had to go back quick because Ridy was waiting for her at home and her mom would blow her top if she found out that Farah came all the way to Malaysia. Lol. So she didn't get to attend the Dinner but I was really so glad she made it to the morning ceremony because we have been talking about Farah attending our Grad since .. YEARS ago. Seriously. We would plan and ask her when she's coming back to malaysia and everything... It would have been a really cool Graduation.

A girl can dream. ahahaXD
