MY CHILDHOOD

Monday, August 22, 2011

I wish he knew


  • How he's the first guy that I trust. 
  • He's the first guy that I've hugged. 
  • He's the one who gave me the definition of "Friday nights" 
  • He makes my heart jump out of my chest when he's near. 
  • He makes me teary when I haven't seen nor spoken to him in weeks 
  • How pathetic he makes me feel 
  • How much I worry for him 
  • How long replies turned to short replies are crushing me 
  • How I like the way he has to bend down to talk to me 
  • How he finds me in crowded places
  • How I find him in crowded places 
  • That his voice is so soothing 
  • How he never rolls down his sleeves 
  • How he's the first person to give me butterflies 
  • Because of him, I knew the feeling of hurt 
  • Because of him, I knew the feeling of disappointment 
  • How I hate that he's on pre-paid 
  • How much I'd love to tell him something random throughout the day, but I won't in fear that I'll be a bother to him 
  • How he's the perfect height 
  • How cute he is when he still eats regardless of being full  
  • How much he's scaring me
  • How I hate every goodbye 
  • How I get jittery with every new conversation 
  • How thankful I am to meet him again
  • How I like the way he teaches me or shows me something
  • How I question myself everyday whether I should hold on or let go 
  • I still remember the first day we met again 
  • How close I am to just grabbing his hand. 
  • How he caught me staring 
  • How he can read my face 
  • How my friends act so cheekily around us 
  • How I have the songs that he's sent to me on my Ipod 
  • How he makes me feel safe
  • How all these feelings are bottling up inside of me 
  • He's an idiot
  • How I hover around his name online 
  • How he's an unpleasant winner



  • How freaking important he is to me, and I'll have to move mountains to let him know.

Reminders


One of the acts that I value greatly in friendship is when they've taken noticed in things that remind them of me. I become really happy when they would start off the sentence with "Oh, this '  ' reminded me of you." All the little or big things that you've done, you don't realise what an impression you've left on your friendship. It's comforting to know that someone is thinking of you on good terms. From these experiences, you'll learn more about yourself from others. 

The 8th day of the month


Woke up at exactly 6:30am from my Skins ringtone alarm on my phone. I hated rising before the sun. I spent another good fifteen minutes in bed, which now meant that I will be possibly fifteen minutes late for the train. I finally scrambled out of bed and started the day. 

"Guess who's back?" I was so happy to see a text from Lan! I will be seeing her later in the day after her one month trip in Vietnam. 

Instead of arriving for the 7:30am train to uni, I arrived at 7:45am - what was expected due to my laziness. I turned around and to my surprise, saw him swiping his Myki before saying hello to me! To be honest, I did get a bit teary. All these thoughts and feelings were flooding back. I haven't spoken nor seen him in three weeks and this is how hopeless I get. We trained together along with Jason to the city. Seeing him this morning, has left me with a natural buzz for the rest of the day. 

My Mathematics & Statistics lecture finished at 9:30am with a two hour break before my Chemistry lecture. My uni friends decided to walk up and down MC for lunch. I walked up to the crossing lights and slipped! Landed on my butt in the middle of the city streets in front of everyone. My shoes don't have grip at all! Winnie helped me up whilst Sahan was stunned, but he did offer his sympathies. Luckily I fell during the red light, otherwise cars would have been moving and my butt won't be the only thing that hurt. Thanks for taking care of me Winnie & Sahan! especially the free Starbucks from Sahan! 

Bumped into Chuon, Andrew & Tyronne at MC! I haven't seen Chuon in ages so I asked if he was coming along to meet up with Lan later. I was disappointed when he said he wasn't too sure due to his timetable. Apparently I also ignored Andrew's hello. I did wave to him and he looked at me, so I assumed he had acknowledged my greeting! 

Chemistry lecture ended at 1:30pm and I was finally free for the day! Waited under the clock for Lan and saw Anna walking past. She is embarrassed to see me in public so I ran over and pushed her around. We went to Valley Girl for a few minutes before I headed back to the clock. 

I was getting hungry and started to get comfortable under the clock by eating my lunch. Chuon surprised me and we waited under the clock together. He had only a few minutes to spare before returning to his very important lecture. I didn't want him to leave without seeing Lan! I bumped into Amanda too! 

Lan and Michael arrived five minutes later after he left. We were disappointed, more so when Stephinee became busy with sudden demands. Luke came to do some shirt shopping with Michael. We walked up to QV together, before Michael left for his lectures leaving Lan and I together. 

We decided to catch up at Max Brenner's. I ordered a Hot Chocolate Hug Mug and it was very hard to finish! Lan showed me all the cute things she had bought from Vietnam. Feeling a little more aggressive and active with the amount of sugar I've consumed, it was time to head home. 

Lan and I sat on the train in front of one the student's I recognized from my lecture classes. Stephinee had gotten on our train at Caufield and I stood up waving to her as she squeezed past the passengers. She sat down next to the student from my lectures. 

This was when the weirdest fate / destiny / coincidence / small world thing happened. The "My Sassy Girl" moment:

The student was actually a friend of Stephinee. He was the one guy she's been trying to introduce to me since Year 9. The infamous Matthew - and he's been in all my lectures since day 1. Stephinee has been selling this boy to me for four years and I never knew we were actually so close in proximity! A few weeks ago, I even told Stephinee that "I wouldn't mind meeting him one day." We never spoke a word to each other until now. I assured that I will say hello to him next time. 

Walked home from a long, tiring yet eventful day - the life of a uni student. Tonight I shall study up for my Mathematics Lab test tomorrow and hopefully complete my Physiology exercises. 

Goodnight!

Nichkhun Appreciation Post!

My attraction for the baby faced can be summed up here!






Twilight Nights


The woman who introduced me to George Orwell, has started reading the Twilight Series two nights ago. The first novel she's picked up since high school. Why mother, why?

A week ago, you watched New Moon at first because you didn't know that it was actually the second movie made after Twilight. The next night, you watched Twilight. You revisited New Moon on the third night. Okay, fair enough that you've decided to re-watch it for a better understanding. 

Then this cycle continued over the next couple of days. I would walk past the bedroom with Twilight or New Moon on the TV screen. We would have fights at the dinner table about Edward and Jacob. Within a week, your workmates lend you the entire novel series. They're sitting near the lamp beside your bed. You read five chapters in one night. 

This morning, you came into my room to open the windows. 

"It's cloudy outside. In the book when Bella sees this type of weather, she knows that Edward will be coming to school." 

I know this only a phase, a new obsession of yours. So yes, maybe I will attend that Twilight/New Moon cinema party in Richmond during Christmas time with you. When I'm done with my laptop tonight, I'll be handing it over to you to watch Eclipse.
