I was 18 when I got the nickname 'Chickweed'. My groupie consisted 6 of us, 'Zue Nutrie' from Jengka, Pahang (because she like Nutri products) 'Naim Banat' from Pahang (because there was a school named Naim Al Banat, if I'm not mistaken) 'Zura Amoi' from Tapah, Perak (because she have very chinese look) 'Rose Swanz' from Lukut, N. Sembilan (because she always wear Shwarzenbach sweater) and 'Midah Limau' from Pahang also (because she is crazy for all kind of citrus fruits).
And I got mine because on first day of matriculation, I wore a skirt to class where from three blocks of buildings, boys kept "pheeewittt"ing me and then I realized none of the girls in college wear skirts, period.
My groupie got together by accident because we were all roomates with one another. And we called ourselves "the GMT 6" because of Garfield, Mickey and Tweety. I don't remember who came up with the idea but we liked the name and that was how the rest of the students addressed us.
During the period of matriculation, we will come up with crazy ideas to make our group more popular especially Naim Banat. Once we wore baju kurung with different top and bottom, switching with one another. On Talent Night we became 'Spice Girls' and performed '2 become 1'. We borrowed from guys shirts and ties and dressed up like boys and took pictures around our block. We celebrated everyone birthdays out to town. We watched Titanic at the cinema (in Bahau!) 3 times and worshipped Leonardo Dicaprio.
We always eat together, we did all activities together.
It was one of my best moments in life.
And now I have no idea where they are. It has been 10 years since we parted ways. Everyone except Midah Limau didn't make it to university.
The last time I heard from Rose Swanz when she had a baby girl, 5 years ago.
I missed them and I hope one day we will all meet again.
I hope they still remember me, the girl who were always correcting their English and made Zue Nutrie cried that she left matriculation without taking her final exam...
