caramel macchiato

I used the last ten dollar note in my wallet to get myself a cup of caramel macchiato. The last time I allowed my wallet to be this empty was probably in secondary school. I never liked the feeling of not having a single penny with me. It felt insecure. And I never really liked caramel but I acually got myself a caramel macchiato. It wasn't the usual soyiced green tea latte. I had been sticking to it for the past one to two years after quitting white mocha frap. So I just did two things which I thought I would never let happen. It occurred to me today, that it's pointless to stick to one thing for too long. If you are going to hold on to it because you're afraid its loss will make you feel lost, then one day when you really lose it, your world will crumble. The only thing that I held on to the longest and never disappointed me was AhWU, and to a small extent, sam. No wonder, M could love sgi that much, and Y, her One Piece craze. Maybe I should rewatch all my X-Men DVDs again. Or continue to search for The Leap Years DVD which I gave up looking for. Seems like it's better to pin hopes on people and things that are only surreal, isn't it?

My caramel macchiato tastes slightly bitter, but sweet towards the end. There aren't many people walking in and out of Starbucks today. I am like a poor man drinking a cup of expensive coffee. To think I actually detest the taste of coffee. The incoherence of points in this entry is in parallel with my thoughts at the moment. I'm trying to convince myself that this world isn't that scary after all. I guess it's working. At least I feel very much at peace sitting here and breathing.

Thankful, I earned another day.

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…
