The New and the Familiar

I’ve been feeling really pensive lately, especially late at night when the bustle of school life is gone and I’m left alone at home to think.

School’s been great but it’s also really tiring; it’s not exactly natural for someone like me to do work but I’ve been feeling the (good kind of) peer pressure. Everyone around me is really hardworking and it pushes me to want to do better; do my homework, read my notes.

I just hope I can keep it up, because it’s already really tiring and this is only the beginning.

It’s a totally new environment right now, and the people are different. I’ve been missing the familiarity of old friends; at some point in the last week I was pretty down because it felt like there was no one I could talk to or ever be friends with.

Then I realised that I was trying so hard to look for what I had in the friendships that were built over time. So, I will be optimistic because things only go up from here. :)

New Stuff

few years ago I would never have imagined taking public transport to school on my own in the morning hahaha. but now that i live so near to school it's easier to just go on my own, and i get to wake up later. :)

over the mornings i have made friends with a mother n a very cute p1 boy who goes to st gabriel's primary because there was one fantastic morning the bus took 15 minutes to travel 1 bus stop & we made conversation. they are very nice & it makes me happy when I see them in the morning.

hahaha one of the conversations with the little boy went like

boy: i know you!

me: orly?

boy: YA you have a sister!

mum: no la you recognize wrong girl already. *turns to me* do you have a sister?

me: ya.... but she never take bus with me leh.

mum: wrong girl la!

boy: NO I KNOW YOU YOU'RE THE GIRL WHO SPILLED WATER ON THE BUS.

k guilty as charged lolol.

first morning to school on the bus my water bottle was not capped properly and all the water exploded outward and drowned the bus. apparently little boy was there hahaha. but POINT IS: it's so nice to meet nice random people.

on the other hand, school has sort of started proper. we attend lectures now & we have our classes (and i can't help but miss my OG haha y oh y). it's only first week and i feel the pressure to study it's insane i actually pre-read my lecture notes if u know me u know this is shit ass weird but YEAH I DID OKAY?~!

also, i have chopped off my long fringe for a.. shorter fringe. i will not call it bangs because i don't like bangs n my fringe is not thick. (i think they were unintentionally cut as bangs but ok la wtv i will change it it's alr starting to grow nicely hehe) bangs made me look so generic walao don't want.

don't wanna be generic.

k la not bad leh.

my lubly OG doo scooby please say you see the resemblance.

& this is the day we played raving rabbids tv party @ deborah's house (as an OG i know this photo only three of us hahaha). i tried to look for a picture that would show how much fun we had but rly cannot unless i take out my memories and serve them on a picture for you all.
