I'm the kind of person who needs the taste of freedom. I need the sense of being able to feel the liberty in my life. Control, to a certain extent. And none of these I can find if I were to stay cooped up within the walls of my room.
No doubt I love my room. It is my sanctuary and the walls have probably seen me more than anybody else in the world. If they could speak, they would tell of my tears and joys. My many laughters with peers and my many nights spent alone. But let us leave all that for another day, shall we?
After a whole entire week of not going anywhere (yes, you heard me right), I finally had plans yesterday. And not just a plan, but many plans. Back to back plans to be exact. I was happy. I had company and it was exactly the thing I needed.
This is Bryan.Met him while I was doing my driving and he turned out to be a pretty cool guy to hang out with. Really funny and really down to earth. He's great.
I spent the entire afternoon with him. Literally the entire afternoon. Right from lunch time until 6 in the evening. Well, he was supposed to be out studying but all he could do was talk talk and, talk.

His friends hard at work.He wasn't.
Halfway his friends gave up on us and shifted to another table. I felt bad for keeping him away from his studies but he simply took a textbook from the next table and placed it in front of him. And that was his excuse for "studying".
I dumped all my junk on him (metaphorically) and admittedly, he's a great listener. Better than some other guys I must say. Of course, he's as silly as ever and he was able to turn such a grave and sad situation into something ridiculously stupid. I wouldn't know what I'd do if he wasn't there yesterday. I don't think I would have survived at home, alone.
By 6, I had to leave and attend rehearsals down at the main campus. I had to be the camera person for the session and boy did they have a long practice. But the good news is the play is going really well and the actors have improved drastically. The final outcome will be rewarding :]
Had dinner and pool session with Cheryl and Asyraf after the practice. Asia Cafe is so lively at night. Bustling with noise and people. I didn't know it was that happening haha.
Asyraf won the both of us in pool twice. And supposedly, he hasn't played in a long time. Do I suck that much? Sigh.
On the way to McDonalds.
Spastic faces.

Cheryl had to leave early and we had time to kill before I had to leave as well. So Asyraf and I headed over to McDonalds in Taipan for a drink and some talk, I guess. Again, we exchanged stories and opinions over a couple of matters in life.
Somebody's LV! ;p
Somebody's LV! ;pBy 11.30, we left and he dropped me off at Chui Nee's place for her surprise birthday. As always, there were all the familiar faces present there last night. Faces I've grown so accustomed to seeing for the past 2 years. It's amazing how I don't get sick of them already. But how could I right? They'll always be my friends.
We assembled in her house half an hour before it turned 12. Faisal and I planned the entire surprise to the tee, so I was hoping nothing would go wrong. Faisal was responsible for taking her out of the house while we gathered inside.
Her huge cake.

Her huge cake.Chui Nee took forever to enter the house. She had so many questions and suspicions to a point where almost all the candles on the cake were burning out and one actually burned the plastic "Happy Birthday" sign that was on it.
But finally, she made it inside and we all went, "Surrrprrrrriiisseeeeeeee!!!!!"
The pictures will speak for themselves here :) We love you Chui Nee. Hope that whatever we planned for you sufficed and made your birthday this year that much greater.
The only candle left standing :(
Then of course, all hell broke loose with Lisa around. Cakes were on faces instead of mouths. Chui Nee was our primary victim. Hey, it's tradition.
Rest of the night was spent taking pictures after pictures and us girls couldn't help but update each other on our respective lives. Somedays, I miss my bestfriends so much. That one measly hour together didn't do us any justice and so we plan on Jing's birthday to have dinner and talk. Sounds good to me! I can't wait actually :]
Gordan :)
The other "black" guy.
Partner in crime.
Hahaha I just don't know how to caption Michael.
We've been through too much.
The neighbour.
I've lost all positive adjectives for this bunch of girls I'm with.
They're amazing.

Today was of mixed feelings. So many things turned out to be a dismay. I lost all the courage I had managed to hoard the night before. I repeated the same things over and over again until I was convinced I had a well rehearsed speech in my head.
But when the time came, I failed to deliver. I stammered and I bit my tongue. My mouth was dry with the words I failed to verbalize. I couldn't look him in the eye and say it. All I could do was turn away. Call me a coward because it's so fitting- so deserving. I'm the best letdown there ever was.
And because of that, I'm forced to live with the product of my own disappointment. Too much of a wimp to let go of something she'll never have.
I couldn't stand the friction anymore. It was overpowering and I swear I was gonna crack at any given moment. Thankfully plans with Yeaw Khuan happened just in time. We were indecisive as always and ended up driving to Pyramid.
Had lunch and then talked. We didn't exactly have much time to hang around because he had to leave early. I entered Machines and wanted a Mac so badly. Sigh.
I've been bugging him for pictures but he wouldn't let me.
Grr.
The many mirrors of Pyramid.

I came home close to 1 in the morning. Despite being out the entire day, I wasn't exhausted. I had so many things in my head. Like the clutter of a small broom cupboard. It was tiring, playing the same scenario over and over in my head again. Struggling to find the right words to say. I couldn't in the end.
My mom came in and brought my results from Semester 1.
2 A's and 2 B's. Fairly satisfactory. I'm contented. I made it on the Honour's List too. No doubt I could have done better but I guess this is it for now. I have 4 more semester's to go and hopefully, I excel further. Geek? Totally.
I fell asleep with too many things in my head and had a nightmare which involved cockroaches. My sworn enemy.

The many mirrors of Pyramid.I have decided to go do my hair tomorrow! Not anything drastic, don't worry. So you might be in for some really different- hopefully not horrid -pictures of me.

The celebrated :)Dearest Bestfriend,
I remember you being the first person I hugged and cried to in school when I got my heart broken by some jerk. I remember sleeping in your bed with your soft toys. I remember you always waking up earlier than the rest of us. You would also be the one who would fall asleep the earliest. I remember you patiently showing me how to work my way around the subject I hate the most. I remember you scolding me for being reckless and irresponsible. I remember you telling me I'm worth much more than what I perceive myself to be.
You've been a real memory to me throughout these years. Would it be different had you not been in my life? Heck yes. I wouldn't know where or what I'd turn out to be if you weren't there. We've been through so much and I'm not afraid to say that this is just the beginning. Hopefully, we'll be able to gather many more memories along the way and keep this friendship going.
ps: I noticed I have the same smile in almost all the pictures. So weird.
