At such an ungodly hour, I know I should totally be sleeping. But if I should procrastinate, I know I might never get down to blogging it. So for what it's worth, just penning down some thoughts and I'll think through them again once I'm back in the Singapore routine.
It's a full 4 days and full 4 nights worth of time spent with friends, and with a solid 96 hours together, I have learnt more about my friends, albeit not much because we've known one another for years and have hung out so long together. Nonetheless, at least I finally discovered that the girls talk about the guys as much as the guys talk about the girls. Haha anyhow, learning more about my friends is one; learning much more about myself is another.
You see, the thing about me is that I'm a sensitive person. Very sensitive. Perhaps overly so. And it was precisely this particular trait of mine that sparked off the double-P and double-C. Not like I never knew that I had them, but it's just that these few days made me realise how extreme I can get at times.
Paranoid - I can get really irked and restless at the slightest of things, when things do not go entirely the way I want/hope them to be, or when I think that it MIGHT be going the other way. Or maybe when friends do/say certain things which make me wonder whether I have assumed things wrongly. It probably stems from some form of insecurity too but that's for another day.
Possessive - We're all possessive over certain things or people in our lives. It might be a piano, a violin, some friends; or maybe it arises on the spot or just for that period of time. And most of the time, it comes after I get paranoid, which arises when I'm insecure about something and end up being over-sensitive in that circumstances.
Childish - As much as I am mature in my own way, I have my childish sides too. All the above that I mentioned, and sometimes deliberately spiting people for various reasons. And I say it's childish because I've been through all those before and have told myself that I should never do that again because I know it's partly my own cognitive processes that are at fault.
Crazy - Not only can I go all hyper-crazy, I realised I can also go psychotic-crazy. And I really scared myself with that one. Always thought that I was only drama inside my head in playing out the various possible dramatic responses but I guess if the clock strikes, then I can really act it out too.
Ahh, alright, the above wasn't meant to make much sense. Just penning down the 4 words that were in my head as I kept replaying a couple of scenes in my head. Wish I could erase those from memory and say that I acted in a much more mature and respectable manner. Nonetheless, as I always like to say, life is a growing process where we always learn more things about ourselves along the way.
As for the trip itself, shan't ramble much here 'cos chronologically penning down my day-to-day activities is not what I do. Shall leave those to facebook pictures.
I miss the food, I miss the beach, I miss the waves, I miss the sun, I miss the company, I miss the randomness, I miss the 7-11, I miss the pick-up, I miss the wind, I miss the singing, I miss the ice milk tea, I miss the laughter...
To sum it all up: It was a great time well spent with awesome company. And I realise I have really really awesome friends. Always thankful for these people in my life. May the Lord bless us all and all my friends who have had various impacts in my life. Nothing says it better than I'm really grateful and thankful to have such awesome friends to have been around me for the past many many years. :)
