letters

And so, after delaying for nearly two years, I finally moved my letters and cards from the box that has housed quite a few silverfish to another one. I love receiving cards and letters. I love going through them once in a while and when I do, I reminisce the good times. Sometimes bad. My oldest letters date as far back as 2000? It is always a nice feeling to reread those letters that more often than not, bring back memories that still make me laugh. Some of them, I realise, are nameless, some of which, the ink has faded thus making me unable to recognise who they were from. Some, I could easily identify the handwriting of the senders from the envelope and of which, I put some aside. While some bring back good memories, some others just do the exact opposite. I have no idea, though, why I still keep them. Maybe I just never feel good about throwing handwritten stuff away. 

It's been another not-so-good week. But Sunday has been nice to me. And rereading the letters kind of serve as a booster. May the coming week be a good one. I shall continue to believe.

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…
