i had one of the weirdest dream this morning! i slept in cus i was tooo tired, but i knew that the rest were getting back their maths results. so i dreamt that sarah messaged me that we had the same score (which in the end wasnt the same). and i had this glimpse of the maths paper, and i saw that the score was.. squareroot 90 ?! hahahha :D
but overall it was fine,
and i'm superrrr happy that mole hit Exactly 45 for his geog! :D :D :D
one random fact, i hate running in the gym! i cant stand running on the spot! and i'm super afraid of falling and hitting my head. hahaha, what a weird fear!
first day of school without the J2s felt extremely different right from the start. i came to school at 7.20am, and hesitated walking towards the usual morning gathering area at the pullup bar. okay, so i decided to walk past that area, to search for a whiff of familiarity. but the benches were empty, the MEEEELLLLL from 25 steps away could not be heard, the fun poking and updates, the laughter, was not present. suddenly the place felt so damn foreign. i walked, and walked straight past that area. it was the first time i felt so lost after reaching school. then i walked to the outside staffroom area and saw pei&jenny there and joined them till assembly started.
but i'm glad that the term "out of sight, out of mind" is far from applicable to describe my relationship with a particular j2 friend. it's heartenning to see that distance doesnt matter and we're still talking, gossipping and updating each other about our lives once in a while. and it's comforting when there's random message to ask how you're doing cus they're truly concerned and not because they had a hidden agenda to mock you in your back. and it's comforting to hear of your friend's progress, (ESP. in maths, hor? and the HEHEHEHEcons tuition). and you know that it's been 2 years, started out with a torn down school, subsequent daidee sessions and all the way till j1 promos, and when i retained and j1 all over again, your friend is always by your side. and you know that friendships based on trust and mutual concern and everything more than gossips are for keeps. you've been an inspiration, struggling with history in the first year, yet moving on to the next year with improvement and subsequently getting Most improved award for Paper3, admist limited flair. (eh, i'm being honest here!) so thankyou, you know who you are. it's the last lap now, and i'm sure your determination and kampung boy attitude will bring you far. (: i'm always a msg away.
and to another person who epitomises "absence makes the heart grow fonder", you know that long periods of non contact because of busy schedules doesnt break down our friendship. and it's always a joy to receive a surprise call from you (to my house no less) and those talks, no awkward silences. and how we can talk and laugh till it's time to sleep, and even though you keep talking about pretty SA geishas, and i always say that you're in my heart along with the Noodle King uncle, you're still someone quite extraordinary to me. (: and you're also the boy who's my inspiration in the sports arena. your sheer determination and the way you train, is just WOW okay. damn admirable. thankyou, you know who you are too (: oh, you top my list of Wheaty boys! :D
and to save the best for the last, Dwarf. (: i dontknow how to put everything into words cus our friendship is so inexplicable, yet Special. so to everything between us, i treasure it (: alot alot more years to come! <3
i'm glad i've friends like them, cus i know that our conversations are substantial and are memories which are worth remembering. its the essence that is truly valuable, and i know that it's something i'll keep dear to my heart. i'm extremely certain that friendships that revolve merely around daily activities will not last. yes, you might feel the loss the first few days cus of the absence of constantly messaging a particular person, but this loss will not last, because not much is Lost. if you know what i mean.
and when you're too intoxicated amongst your new friends,
you know that true friends brings you to reality and
allow you to realise who you really are.
so Cheers! to long last friendships! :D
