sorry sorry....it's been so long since I last posted anything. Then again, who am I apologising to? It's not like I have millions of fans angry that I haven't updated them on the ongoings in my life. Anyway, Uni life is a doozy. I signed up for O-week organised by the Arts Club in NUS, and it's been like this gigantic class reunion from all the schools I've ever been to. De La Salle, SJI, SAJC and even OCS...sheesh. I realised that I've made many friends these past 21 years and they remember me too. It's a little heartwarming, yet scary at the same time. I mean, when they approach me I don't know what to say...
I mean, I've grown to hate the following QUESTION and ANSWER:
Q: "Hi! How have you been?" *look of concern and super fake smile*
A: "Oh, I'm fine..." *customary response that parries ALL probing attacks that may reveal you may not be as fine as you make yourself out to be*
It's so annoying to go through this 'ritual' and yet though I bitch, moan and whine about it...I am guilty of it as well. THE SHAME!!! Anyway, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. I mean you don't tell a person you haven't met in 5-6 years that you're emotionally unstable, gay, mentally unsound (not that I'm in any of these states, well...maybe one of them, but go figure...haha) and expect them to sympathise. You just don't do things like that...societal norms do not permit such outbursts.
I'm also trying to decide whether or not I should go for Orientation Week activities today. The OG has been great and I really like them, but there's laziness and general sian-ness (this means boredom in Hokkien) in me now...inertia...ugh...so much inertia...
I think I'll skip the day's activities and go down to stay overnight tonight. It's fun staying over with people. It's been a long time since I did the whole sleep-over-in-school thing. So exciting!
