Watami and soyed latte and a lot of love.

The interview went pretty smoothly. For once I did not feel too uncertain nor dissatisfied. It felt ideal despite the not-so-attractive starting pay. And I appreciate the fact that the seemingly nice lady boss gave me some time to think through it clearly. I have lost count of the number of interviews I have attended since last June. And I am beginning to see the change in my attitude towards job hunting. Not that I am nonchalant of course, but I realised I do not see every opportunity as being extremely important, but merely doing what I can. So I was naturally lighthearted as I left the place to meet the uni clique. We had our favourite Watami full salad which I am hardly sick of. I liked how everyone seemed to be in high spirits today. Their smiles always comfort me.

Xi and I shared a Venti soyed latte. For some reason, the drink always tastes exceptionally good when shared with a good friend. What's more it was a free beverage I painstakingly earned after my ten soyed lattes and two caramel macchiatoes. Now the counter goes back to zero again. We sat for a good two hours before walking some distance to Holland V for some aimless shopping and then back again. Maybe subconsciously we were enjoying the chats and walks too much. At least I was. In fact a part of me dreads the fact that these people are starting work real soon and it will become harder for us to meet.

Before she turned in, she texted and said, "做好自己。" Very coincidentally, M also texted "你是最好的自己" at the same time. And the very timely book from her, when I was just thinking about starting on one soon. It was a day with a lot of love. Frankly, that was pretty much what I felt the whole day: heaps of goodness. And because it was Wednesday, I secretly thought that laoshi could be watching over me.

It is true I care so much about how people look at me. I am working on it. For a start, I think I need to change how I look at myself.

22 May. I think I have been counting down since last March. I am really... excited please.
Days of Future Past.

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…
