:) i didn’t even realised i have reached the 10th marked.
and to think i reached it with such an uplifting article.
awesome *i rock my socks*

on a more not-so-sunny note.

I was grocery shopping yday, and in the midst of gathering my food supplies for the next week ( haha- i know, i will be the last person on earth to go hungry if there was a famine, NOW) I just literally stopped in my tracks for no absolute reason, and just watched myself in the crowd of people/families/friends. And there was a strange feeling that filled my soul. A feeling of familiarity and at the same time strangeness. Carrying my heavy basket and standing alone in a crowd, I felt insecure, small, insignificant and just strange. Searching for a familiar face in the crowd, I was half hoping and half wishing, that the lady pushing the trolley was my mummy, or the siblings that were playing chase along the tin can aisle would bump into me, and i would join them in their chasing game because they were actually my own sibling, and for my daddy to come up from behind to offer to carry my heavy basket…

i also half wished and half hoped for the familiar faces of zyin, becca, to playfully nudge me from behind just to let me know what other food stuffs they are planning to get. or sofia and wj screaming polar bear from one end to the other just to let the whole world know, or sara, pam, zy, eric to complain about uni.. and eric.. to ask me to do more work and attend more meetings :) or the boys to ahve me nag at them for being too sloppy or useless in helping me carry my heavy basket.

as i stood there and have all these thoughts running through my mind, i realised i was just struck by a familiar case of homesick-ness, so i pushed it away, look ahead to see my block mates discussing whether to buy the broom they have been holding for ages, and which instant noodles shall we indulge in this week.. so for that moment, that feeling went away and stayed away..

Angles :)

just let me go. please.
