| Brr.. its cold in here. |
| 26.7.06 |
Yes, im in my room n its cold. Even tho i've got the rectangular heater thing against the wall, it still is cos' the glass panes aren't properly "rubbered" to the frame and i can feel a draft. Hence, the shoved bedsheet at the bottom of the pane which is of tiny significance.
Remember the story of the 2 frogs; one which was placed into a pot of boiling water and the other that had the water slowly heated up till boiling point? Well, frogs have the abilty to match their surrounding temperature given time, so while the first frog leapt out of the hot water immediately, the second one didnt feel the change in temperature at all, till it was too late and became boiled frog.
Being placed into a new environment, i must say, is somewhat of a shock, but not really. Like, i knew there were a lot of asians, but i didnt expect THIS many. I knew drinking was a norm here, but i didnt think so abundantly. Lotsa other things, that i knew, but still was shocked. The whole making friends all over again thing. i get impatient at times, wanting to get to knew the WHole person faster, but it takes time. I want to settle in quick, to know everything like the back of my hand, to be able to move around with ease, to have people i can run to when i need to. i want to be able to talk to the new people as how i talked to the old people about everything and anything, laughing at the similar things.
Lectures just started and i have to get used to running around the campus. Dont quite know my way around yet. Been shopping and bought a coat, have to get used to the prices. Walking around a lot, have to go get more shoes that look good as well as feel good. Met lotsa people, finding the right ones to hang out with and stuff. I remember, when i first started out in class in Singapore, had to keep changing groups within class till i found the most suitable one.
Thank goodness ive found 2 good frens so far, michelle and zi. Makes me kinda feel like the 2nd frog. Except i dont get boiled. |

The question has been answered. Australia as the next destination. Pretty much have just 3 days left..
Met some friends at the nearby mamak, 2 diff groups of school friends. Met up with the first bunch at 11.. then later with the other at 12 plus.. While they are all nice people and catching up/ reminiscing was enjoyable, i think about how people always say the 'niceties' that you KNOW will never come true. Its kinda like the break-ups where they go ' we'll still be friends, keep in touch and call each other out' , then never speak to each other ever again. Or how about that friend who always speaks to you as if you're her best friend in the world, how much she misses you, how often she thinks of you, how fond she is of the memories shared; but in actual fact isnt exactly that close in the first place, doesnt bother to write, cant be bothered calling. Am i just taking her way too seriously or reading too much into what she says or having too HIGH a judgement of what is deemed as a close friendship?
Better to just be polite and feign the feel-good feeling? Is there even any value in that.. Maybe its just a polite thing to do or to make yourself and your friend worth more, valued higher.. in the eyes of others too. Kinda like putting on a show whether there is an audience or not, or its just the both of you. In the end, if both parties are convinced of the higher value and closeness of the friendship, who is to say it is not? |
