Friday, friends and thoughts.

I see that my working friends really look forward to Fridays. It reminds me of my conversation with Geng Jie when I bumped into him a few days back. He said that he really enjoys life after work because he can do whatever he likes. I guess it has to be so because when we were students, we had to juggle with school work, exams and other commitments after school. As working adults, there are those who need to bring work home but I am sure, not having to study for upcoming tests or exams makes things simpler. This could be why people working are often anticipating the arrival of Fridays? Nevertheless, I will definitely choose to be a student over a working adult, in any case. Yes but, so what? Time to face reality. I went to Jurong Point in the day to visit Banquet food court for my research but it closed down and so, I made a wasted trip. And so I went home for a nap before meeting my JC friends at night. Everyone was pretty much the same. Knowing that they are mostly still looking for jobs made me feel relieved somehow, I'm not sure if that is a right feeling to feel. But they are probably my only group of friends who are in the same boat as me now. Bren sent me home and the way we took was the one ZR and I walked to school in 2003. I think the last time I crossed that bridge was with him too. I was reminded of the days we went to school together every morning. He would leave without me if I did not reach there by 6.30 a.m. There were the cats we saw fighting, and a huge Sylvester soft toy lying in the middle of nowhere, making us speculate what could have happened before that. It's been ten years?! Well well. I stepped into the house with my mum asking me why I haven't been actively looking for jobs. I wanted to sigh but I did not have the guts. I heard my brother tell her not to give me pressure. Times like this I think it is okay to give up my room to him when his girlfriend comes over.

Sorry if my points are incoherent. I think my life is like this to begin with.

On CNY

This CNY, I realised many things. I realised I have always envied families who go out as a whole for CNY visiting, or those who invite many relatives and friends over. I realised I am very afraid of the coming of CNY because CNY simply means watching movies and slacking at home for me. I love to watch movies, there is no doubt about that. Perhaps I just don't appreciate the latter because there is so much to face head-on. I hate the silence or otherwise awful hurlings at the dining table. I hate how I need to pretend to be hospitable to people I dislike. This year, I hid in my room when people I did not feel comfortable with came, then I was accused of being stubborn and impolite. Sometimes I really wonder if being myself is of imperative or being polite is. Whichever the case, I want to confess that I really feel tired and unhappy this CNY. The worst is that I feel that no one can understand because everyone I tried to rant this to tells me I should go home because it is CNY after...

On campus,

I think even if I were to leave after this semester, I would probably leave with the fondest memories. What more can I ask for? On a side note, I hope and I choose to believe that my true friends will understand, and so I do not want to explain. Today is my best friend's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF! I know you know I am damn stubborn and rebellious and whiny and spoiled and noisy and choosy but you always compromise with me and give in to me in every way you can. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I hope you will always be happy because you deserve to be. I hope you will gamble less so that you can treat me food more often. I hope you will be blessed because you are special :) I know I am such a sweet best friend! 加油了GL,不要再蹉跎歲月了…
