Assalamualaikum everyone. Rahiman back again with another update here in my blog.
As this is my 7th (second last) blog post and Week 12 at time of posting, we're almost nearing the end of the semester and consequentially, my freshman year.
I already planned beforehand that for my second last blog post, I want to use this chance to wrap up or have some form of closure between Hakimi and myself. Because let's face it, after this semester ends, most likely we will not be having as frequent of a conversation as we would for the past few weeks. That's the reality
From Hakimi's perspective, he doesn't know when this project or social engagement course will end. Probably he thought that I'll be tending him pertaining to iLearnAce until he's about to sit for UPSR. So, in one way or another, I'll have to break down the news to him and inform him that starting next week, I won't be checking on him as frequently as I did before.
Last week, Hakimi told me that he's about to sit for his trial exam. Hence, in my previous blog post, I've decided to give him some room to revise and focus on his studies. Whether he used iLearnAce or not during that period of time, I'm not sure.
However, I forgot to ask him during our last conversation as to when is his last paper for his trial exam. Thankfully, Afifah told me that Hamizan (her step-brother) told her that the last exam paper is on last Tuesday.
It took me quite some time in crafting my words carefully before I decided on messaging him on Whatsapp and try to conclude things with him. Heck, I even resorted to asking for advices from my friends on how to best phrase my words. Talk about insecurity.
Once I was ready, I began the conversation by asking him about the trial exam. He replied by saying that the exam was okay and affirmed my rhetorical question that he had his last paper last Tuesday. Not sure whether he's being truthful that his exam performance was okay, but I like to think that he did fairly well in the exam.
However, it took me almost two days to reply him afterwards. This was because I was super busy with assignments which were all due the same week, Week 13.
Once I've managed to complete all my assignments on time and have time to reply him, I decided to text him again.
As you can see from the conversation snippet above, my replies were damn lengthy. First, I expressed my gratitude that he said he did okay in the trial exam, followed by my apology on replying late (it has becoming a habit of mine, sigh). Before I dived into my conclusions and the main gist of the conversation, I took this one last opportunity to remind him about iLearnAce. I told him on how Raya holiday is around the corner and if he have some extra free time (which I reckon he does), then he should try out the exercises inside iLearnAce. I even forwarded the 2 objective questions that I asked him to do last week but didn't due to the trial exam.
Then, I began on opening up about the truth and what's going to happen in the near future. I told him that the Social Engagement course/programme is about to end soon, hence I won't be constantly reminding him to do iLearnAce questions and exercises. I'm sure that he must've found my constant reminders to be annoying and troublesome, despite my best attempts to make it sound as nice and polite as possible. So, I apologised to him if my reminders ever disturbed him too much. I told him that the motive of the reminders were to ensure that he utilised iLearnAce as much as possible, given the fact that his account was fully sponsored until UPSR. Eventually, I expressed my hopes that he'll continue to use iLearnAce in the near future, even add in the little fact that his avatar in iLearnAce is crying out of care.
I also mentioned to him that despite the fact that I'm not going to frequently contact him in the future, he can always feel free to contact him if he ever have problems or anything to talk to. Another thing that I apologised to him that I found most unfortunate was the fact that I didn't have the chance to visit him at his house. I'm reminded of the early weeks where he kept asking me about when am I going to visit him. I thought I had enough free time, but due to the unexpected packed schedule of mine alongside the issue of transport, we didn't have the chance to do just that.
I ended my reply by saying that regardless, I wished good luck and prayed that he'll be able to succeed with flying colours for UPSR.
To my delight, Hakimi replied by saying thank you. Short reply, yes. Might have not read all the replies, yes. But, I thought to myself that at the very least, he replied my long texts instead of leaving them at blue ticks. That must've been super damn awkward for me.
And that wraps up my last conversation with Hakimi until God knows when. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than open to having more conversations with him. It's just for the sake of formality that I had to be truthful to him about how the whole thing will roll out in the future.
So, that's all for my second last blog post. Stay tuned for a reflection writing for my last blog post later!
