Rain rain come again

So it rained.

Everyone cheered. I always think Singaporeans are fussy. They complain about floods in December and then they beg for rain after the rainy season. I am a true pluvophile in Singapore, so the first thing I did early this morning was walk in the rain and feel the cool wind on my face. That was extremely nostalgic. I thought Sunday was going to be gloomy because of the short-lived rain but nope, it poured later in the afternoon and evening. I could never explain that peace in me. It was a hectic Sunday, but somehow I never really felt tired. It was good, of course. I came to this realisation today, that some things have changed. I didn't get to the bottom of things, I no longer have that kind of courage and energy. I am happy with the wounds healing and leaving them as they are. I don't deny that I'm still shrouded in that whole accusation thing, but I dare to say I have never tried expressing any feelings of suppression or unhappiness, to anyone, simply because I promised never to bring it up again. I'm learning to love myself, bit by bit, more and more. It is truly a blessing for me to be going gaga over a TVB show again, I cannot be more thankful for an interest as timely as this. I recall how I managed to forget everything else when I was hooked to No Regrets some years ago. I have learnt to go swimming more often whenever time permits. I used to hate swimming alone because I found it boring. And I have begun using facial masks. I am spending more me-time alone. I go to Starbucks more often, to watch people and to write postcards. Of course, me-time also means most of the people around are hardly free. I still listen to Ah-Mei every single day. I only loop her songs. I'm going to do it until I find myself awake from this nightmare. The reason why I am happy now, is because no one tries to stop me from all these healing theories. I don't really know how many people understand how I feel, or whoever thinks I am nuts, perhaps people do think I am nuts but they just don't say it. At least. No one asks me to stop. Because I don't want anyone to say that. I really need this. A few hours ago A whatsapped me. I told her I really loved the 18-year-old me because I felt that I really loved myself while I was in love. A few years later, which is now, I realised I am loving myself again. This time, for no particular reason.

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…
