We started off as ABCDEFG, a group to send pictures to each other after our first sunway outing. We had an ice skating session and this outing started after choosing our Creative Thinking Skills members. We were supposed to shop and get inspiration for our musical objects but ended up skating and doing everything but have our meeting.
The start of Clap
So we started of by being pricks who screen shot each other's ugly photos and make fun of each other, and we started to spread into a bigger group with our CTS members. Somehow, we ended up being Clap and we were very close and hype people. We even had our hand signature and did it all the time, in lectures, during activities, during lunch, all the time basically.

Then we had additional members and somehow became Clap 16, with an arrangement according to our birthday date and month (ignoring the year). So I'm Clap #6, my favourite number because I'm born in June and my apartment level used to be the 6th floor.
This group was really special in the beginning because we could talk about anything and everything, it was an eye opener with them because this was the first time people actually shared their work with each other in social media in such a big group.
In the past, (secondary life), honestly, people were more selfish and kept things to themselves. We did share homework among each other, I was one to copy HAHA. But after sometime, I realized the selfishness in people because they're afraid of you surpassing them if they taught you all they knew. It isn't wrong to be like this, this is how people are actually, it is never wrong to put yourself first. (Though some things started to change when I was in my last year of high school because everyone started to want the best for others and had opened up to each other)
However, knowing each other for a few weeks and this family had started to send pictures of their scrapbook journals, sharing ideas and giving opinions, not afraid of being copied. It was the first time I've ever seen people this opened with their work.
15 of us signed up for SHINE, which is an activity that we spent together in some jungle area (?). I've actually been to the same forest last year for my school trip. It was a splendid time with all of them even if we weren't all in the same team. It was the best fun we have ever had as a group, but honestly we were not that heart-to-heart close yet, just close as a group of friends// classmates// family.
Clap + FNBE
The photo of us only was not uploaded onto the SHINE official page, so we didn't get our photo
Then more time went past, to whoever who is reading my blog, I'm sorry if I have offended you somehow, but this is what I think about my family right now- Somehow in the midst of projects and activities, we have separated, we have split into smaller groups of friends. We all know that this is a fact among ourselves, we have been putting so much concentration into our project teams that we have, unknowingly, started to distance ourselves from each other.
We have started to grow attached to our smaller projects groups, because of the common topic, similar interest, click ability, etc. It was a problem we have silently acknowledge. Looking back at the photos, the memories we have once had. I actually rather go back in time to the past where we weren't that close to individuals, but close as a whole group.
Those were the days where we had over 1K messages in a few hours, and now? Just a double blue tick from everyone. Why, I wonder, but I am one of them who gives a seen and don't reply. Maybe we feel as if it's weird to talk about random stuff like last time, wondering if we were being judged or secretly hated by others.
Yet there are some people who are trying their best to put the group back together, to make us a whole again, to make us a close family all over again. I really appreciate their effort in working things out, and this is definitely not a family to give up on. All in all, I still love this groups to bits, and I 100% do not regret meeting and being friends with every single person in this family.
Love you all <3 Let's all be a family again in semester 2, just like we were in January.
Our final project complete family- CLAP 16
