Yes, it has been a while. It has been a while since my last entry. In fact, it has been a while so long such that I do not actually what I wrote on my last entry. I actually wanted to blog, but the network at my hostel didn't allow me to view my blog. So here I am, 2.30 am in the morning, with Josh Groban in the background bellowing some ballad I didn't know the name of, writing.
I had been busy, but "busy" is a word commonly been misunderstood. Yes, most people would and could probably use this word as excuses to put off what they had intended to do initially. But, I was pretty caught up in shifting my property to my second home and is now only settling down. Not to mention that school work is slowly creeping up on me, preparing to give me a terrible scare around the next turn.
I like staying in school. Yet I felt good when I came back home a few hours ago as well. I mean, home IS the place where you always wanted to be. At least for me. But in school, convenience rules. No to mention that I could afford to sleep a few more hours later than in the past. And it's no point staying alone when you have no friends around you. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends who are staying within minutes of me in hall so it is always possible to arrange for a late night supper cum movie or just another WORMS battle. Hahaha.
I realised something about myself lately: I had changed a lot since secondary and college days. And it's not just physical. (I actually said "Hi" to a friend who asked me back "Who are you?" When I told her, she gave me the same response as friends I had not seen for a while: a gasp, raised eyebrows, stunned look for 2 seconds and then "Really? You've changed a lot." My answer, or rather question, is standard: "For better or worse?") I changed in my way of thinking as well. Well, you could say that everyone grows up, but not everyone feels that he/her is growing up. For me, I felt the difference. And it is comforting. For some strange, warped reason, I like being older. Maybe it's my male hormones kicking in. There's a lot of things you discover when you get older. It's like finally unlocking the more advanced stages of a game. You have to use what you had learned in your previous early stages to fight against the tougher enemies now. There's a lot more challenges, and responsibilities. Your experience points don't grow so easily. You tend to fail. You aim to win big.
"Welcome to the adult world", Mr. Black says, as the curtains finally close down on a long, winding, tedious, fun, happy and sad journey called childhood. From this moment on, you will have to walk alone. But alone is not always bad. Trust your senses.
