Throwback Thursday: Roasted Pepper

Weh sumpah tak perasan yang I have been writing blog since 2009 and now dah 2025. Siapa pandai matematik? Berapa tahun dah tu? Tu kalau beranak tahun 2009 tu mungkin your kids dah masuk Kolej Vokasional by now. But that's not what I want to talk about today, harini punya throwback cuma nak cakap cringe nya baca all my post dekat blogspot dulu. Just last week I got back the access to my old blog zaman blogspot dulu and let me tell you guys this. Kita semua manusia cringy okay 16 years ago. When I said kita, I mean kawan-kawan and kenalan aku zaman tu. Some of them yes masih berkawan until now and some of them terkandas tengah jalan, ada juga yang dah pergi meninggalkan kita and ada yang dah teruskan hidup masing-masing.

I've read through some of the posts, and I can't believe I would say things like "I'm a bulimic and proud of it?" Kau dah gila ke apa eh openly say things like that? I know I would've gotten canceled if it were to happen today. Another thing, I've got a lot of interactions masa zaman-zaman blogspot dulu. People do be reading my blog and leave comments back then. So adalah interaksi-interaksi haus nak bercinta, penggunaan bahasa-bahasa purba dengan spelling acah-acah cute. Like WTF are these words "Cowwyyyy, xdew, SukA hati Leww?" Ada banyak lagi contoh tapi tak sanggup nak share.

Not just that, most of my blog posts adalah pasal kehidupan seharian yang tak lah menarik mana pun but I promise you that time aku rasa memang life aku paling happening. Today bila baca balik and I was like "why am I so excited about curi-curi online dalam library?" tu dah kira bad and savage lah tu? What was this 20 years old Faiz thinking? But being cringe aside, I love the genuine interactions I used to have with everyone back in the day. I mean we used to be so friendly to each other. Like what happened now? Why is everyone not talking to each other anymore? Adakah usia membuatkan kita menjadi malas nak berinteraksi dah?

But it's not all bad, I also jumpa kisah-kisah menarik yang manggamit memori bersama kawan-kawan rapat. Ada juga series about me and my bestfreinds where we named ourselves with nama-nama merepek. Those are the things yang made me miss being a student in UiTM Merbok dulu.

Apa-apa pun I'm in a happy place now and I know damn well kalau tak berperangai cringe 16 tahun lepas, I won't be the person I am today. So kids, just be cringe because umur-umur tu memang patut korang berperangai cringe. Jangan hiraukan kami-kami yang dah menginjak umur 30an ni rain on your parade. Just be you because trust me, kitorang dulu pun sejenis manusia yang cringe.

P/S: Kau tak tengok lagi apa pakaian and macam mana aku di fasa bercinta zaman tu. Ya ampun cringe sampai ke tulang.
