Wind + Spring

12th September 2009 (Saturday)

12 hours of sleep from friday to saturday. it was a good sleep. the sleep that tells me my week is finally over, time to rest and start the week all over again.
this week, childhood friend Steven left for home.
one by one, each of them leave for home and im not sure when i'll be seeing them again. im happy with the time spent together. albeit short, but we had fun. :)
it feels so dull and quiet with everyone back in malaysia and one in hongkong.
gone are the days when there were more than 10 of us for just a simple dinner.
this coming monday, another Lim returns to Tanah Melayu.

since everyone is going back to malaysia, i feel like going home home too :(
but the fact is, i just came here, like 6 months ago.
comparing 6 months to a few years. hello, 6 months is nothing.

so thats the difference between me and them who are heading back.
they've graduated and in the process of starting their new chapter in life, known as adulthood. hence, time to get a steady job and work for the rest of your life.

today, carman and i went for the movie 'UP'. it was good. for once, a cartoon that made me think.
it made me think how short life can be. yes of course i know life is short and we only live once, but this cartoon refreshed the whole concept of 'life is short'. within 10 minutes, i see a boy and a girl, who met randomly in a house that's falling apart, became friends, talked about adventure, get married, lived a normal yet happy life, getting old together, then came the time when the female passed away, leaving the old man behind. just 10 minutes, i realise how short life can be. it takes just 10 minutes to walk through ones life.

im currently a university student away from home.
2 years later, it'll be my turn to graduate (hopefully) and to get a job.
what happened to wanting to grow up and getting the freedom that i've been longing for?
as i come closer and closer to being an adult and support my own life, the desire to grow up does not seem so interesting and exciting as it used to be when i was 15. it's a cycle that my parents went through and soon, it'll be my turn. im not ready to earn and support my own life.im not ready to think about marriage and a family.im not ready for the future thats ahead of me. the talk on economy, money, investments, property, savings...... all these talk would have been something that i'll look forward to when i was 17. but not now. all the responsibilities. urgh. where's the fun. sigh.

wow, the last i checked, it was 12 AM.
49 minutes has passed since then.

i have to say that i love love love todays weather. it was 27C in the day! YAYYYY! well, i did complain that it was a bit stuffy and hot, but, i love it! no jacket for the whole day. how great is that! however, i should not be too happy about it since the weather in melbourne changes so drastically. it can be sunny today and windy+showers the following day. just yesterday, the sun was out but the wind was crazily strong i had to stop myself from being blown away while walking back from uni. the wind can be really really irritating and it's really getting on my nerves. blow blow blow blow blow blow. argh, stop blowing please. weather forecast is telling me that the temperature will be between 13-18C tomorrow and it's windy with rain. oh well, wayyy better than single digits but please dont rain when im walking to the gym. *i pray*

mid-semester break is only 2 weeks away! which means, finals is just around the corner :(((
hmmmmmm. finals can wait. what's for the holidays huh? lots of fun please.

okbye time for desperate housewives :D
