Nice people

I haven't had my dinner at this hour but I think it was a great Friday. The moment I got to my workplace, my boss gave me a big bag of barbecued pork that was meant as CNY gift. The lady at the counter Ms Woon also gave me two boxes of Andes chocolates and wished me 甜甜蜜蜜. After lesson, another 8-year-old student of mine lifted the bag in his hand and said, "This is for you Teacher GL. Happy Chinese New Year." I didn't know people get or give gifts for Chinese New Year. I thought it was just Christmas or birthdays. What nice people. People are so nice to me everyday. And so I got to be nice to myself too, I suppose. The unnecessary thoughts remained chucked aside, and the days go on. There is still so much to be unhappy about, but I tend to forget them these days. I think I am slowly going in that direction.

It hasn't been raining though. I kind of miss the rain.

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…
