my best friend has been helping out underpriviledged kids for some time now.
and she has asked me to join her.
bt instead of helping others,im doing helping myself shop for more things.
im just about done with all the shopping though..
i thought going alone would be easier.no worried parent trying to settle you down,chattering excitedly about where is where and what is what.
its alright,i can do it on my own.but going alone means i have to bring most of what i can,because mommy isnt going to help out when im there.it also means having to sort out my packing very carefully because daddy isnt going to help me carry my bags,nor can i squeeze anything into their luggage.
bt its okay.i made this choice months and months ago-travelling there alone.so no regrets.
just a lot of fears and worries and concerns.
and maybe a little bit of tears on the way
fuck i hate how time flies.
we've been preparing for this for so long.every other conversation is about Bristol or Law or Heathrow or National Express.
and honestly,im so sick of it.i just want to take naps and read big books and talk about home or neighbours or cars or something.i hate how i still have a list of people i havent met up with,and i hate the thought of leaving them after that.
im dreading the long travel,the immigration,the making new friends,the starting new things,the living alone.
i know people would kill to be in my position right now.but i might just kill to get out.
it has become,
from a dream to an obligation.
a very expensive one.
but of course,i Do want to wear all those new clothes..(i love my new boots)
i Do want to lie down and study at the gardens of my University Hall. (check out Goldney Hall,and envy me)
i Do want to explore new places with new people who probably speak very funny.
i Do want to study hard and attend moots and debates and travel to London .
i Do want cold and fickle British weather.
i Do want to have the liberty of doing things without having to ask mom first .
but i Dont want to miss Friday Evenings with Mei while the adults drink and chat till 12 in the morning.
i Dont want to miss my nasi lemak (with extra sambal) and my maggi mee goreng (with sambal as well),
i Dont want to miss my room and the orange bean bag in the middle where i throw all my dirty clothes -yes,now u know whats usually on it before you arrive.
i Dont want to miss family dinners downstairs,at the marble table in the living room.
i Dont want to miss randomly going into Jen's room while shes doing work just to annoy her
i Dont want to stop teasing Shonna and Kai Li with Rachel.
i Dont want to be even further apart from theleven and theboyfriend.
See.like i said-obligation.
i might be leaving so many things behind,
but it still seems like a bloody Burden to me.
Deep Sigh.i should be more positive
