I really, really stormy nights. I like the sound of rain tapping on my window. I like the peace I find in the sound of rain, making nothing else matter.
Chris got married last Saturday. Somehow I couldn't sleep well the night before. I was really, really happy for him. At the same time, I was actually feeling slightly melancholic. It was like, over the past many years, he had shared so much with me, particular his love life. I always remember the time I was on my way home on a long bus ride, and I was crying because he broke up with HM when I thought they would last forever. And I remember the time on my 21st birthday celebration, he was looking so upset because of the girl he liked. And then the time he texted me during my lecture to tell me he had fallen for his best friend. Then last week they tied the knot. When they marched into the ballroom, I was on the verge of tears. Emotional yes, I think a part of me was wondering if I had lost a friend because he would stop sharing anything with me. But on second thought, I guess it no longer matters. He would share with me when he thinks of me. Even if he no longer thinks of this frien...
I felt I hadn't been a good daughter in a while and so I decided to accompany mum out after dinner to get what she needed. It turned out that she paid more for me. The Marvel Hawaiian collection was on sale again and like always, I ran over to take a look, not in the hope that mum would allow me to get it (even though I'm now a full grown adult I still respect her when it comes to buying household necessities). I was surprised when she suggested that I got one, though in the end we got two because she saw that I couldn't make up my mind between the two designs. After that she got me a pair of comfy shoes because I had been complaining about knee pain due to lousy footwear. My mum loves me and I have always known that. It's just that she hardly pampers me and many a times I really yearn for that. I guess while I am already at the half mark of my twenties, deep down I cannot be more childish. My youngest sis would know that best. On a side note, after shopping with my mu...
Tuesday has never been my favourite day because its proximity to Monday makes it equally dreadful. But. Today was slightly better. My buddy colleague returned from her vacation. Her presence makes me feel better. For anywhere you go, you probably still need that one person whom you trust and can rely on. We left work really early for a talk at NIE. Call me autistic, but that place is one I hardly want to visit, ever again. Thank goodness, it was the school vacation term. It felt a lot safer. After dinner, I boarded the double decker bus home. Normally I would not go up to the upper deck because I would usually be too lazy to do so. Today I decided to. But very instinctively, I went to the last seat at the back, then took out my new earpiece to listen to my newly discovered oldies. Yes, the irony. Thankful that I replaced my spoiled earpiece over the weekend because taking long bus rides without music at my ears is just weird. If there is anything I enjoy about being a working adult, it...
