live like it's your last

It's been days since I last woke up feeling rejuvenated and actually looking forward to the day ahead. I don't know why it's been the total opposite these few days because instead of working my tail off for my econs test, I found myself on the brink of giving in to the heaviness of my eyelids, as they fluttered every other nanosecond - but fortunately I resisted and managed to cram as much information regarding 'money', 'spending' as well as 'borrowing' for my test this morning.

I promised myself a decent sleep tonight but it is evidently to no avail now given my writing in this blog because it's also been days since I last posted something new about my life. So I'd better make this quick and hit the sack!

Last exeat went by in a blink of an eye, no like literally, snap, it's over just like that. The reason for this is because I had a productive 3 days spent with the same company - the most warming company I could ever ask for. Nearly all meals, if not all meals, were eaten with them, Friday and Sunday nights were spent sitting talking to hearts' content with them, Saturday morning and Sunday evening were spent in the hall playing badminton with them, a quarter of Sunday afternoon was spent pillow-fighting with them... I was happy during all those times. I don't remember the last time that I laughed so much, and it didn't occur to me that I still had that in me to laugh so much again. At one point I laughed so hard that I was close to tears, don't get me wrong, the laughing felt good but a sudden pain overwhelmed me for a moment there, a momentary pang of pain that words can't explain, just like daggers in my heart. Don't ask me why I felt that, I'm still trying to figure out why myself too. Not only have they developed from acquaintanceship to friendship in my heart, I think they are starting to feel like family to me. Now everytime I see them, anyone of them, I feel a sense of security for I know that they, for one, will not leave me in adversity, but will have my back and cheer me on with their strong sense of humor, dry sarcasm, blur-ness, cool-ness - I mean, PUH-lease, what can possibly beat thoseee right? I just want 4 of you to know that I was happy last exeat, really happy. I hope I would feel just as happy everyday. Everyday.

Two days ago on the 24th was mommy's birthday. Owing to the fact that my mobility is restricted to the boundaries of the premises in ktj, so no I did not spend the day with her... But, but, there are always butssss in life because I got to see her for 3/4 of my afternoon when I went out on my exeat trip with almost the whole school to mid valley last Saturday, it amended for my absence on the day itself... Hopefully. Also, I was treated to some decent food at my all-time favorite Italian restaurant, followed by dessert in a so-happen-to-pass-by stall and some mother-daughter window-shopping kind of thing. *giggles* .. I did make her a collage of our pictures though and posted it on the app she uses 24/7. Daddy called just now to tell me that he found it sweet and very "classy" of me to have done that. A chip off the old block, papa! *wink wink*

The last quarter of my day in mid valley was when I was encircled by 4 "bodyguards", so to speak, as I made my way up and down the mall to buy pizza, sushi, strawberries and chocolates for Sabrina who decided against coming along with me. I was happy to have bumped into them, happier that they chose to tag along with me, happiest that for a moment there I felt their sincerity - and I hope this isn't just another theory of mine, but the truth, that for a moment there they were happy to have my presence too.

Basketball practice has started, to prepare us for our inter-house competition after Easter Break. So hello to busy afternoons once again. And a few days ago I sprained my left ankle when I was shooting, the ball in mid-air, in the midst of spinning and getting into the hoop, well...it was close! Again. Again on the same ankle and it was the 5th time already. I heard the cracking of my bones... *shudders* For a few seconds I couldn't stand straight and tears came but vanished. It still hurts a bit now but I'm okay. Worse things could have happened to me but they didn't - and for that I am thankful.

I am thankful for all that I have now. I really shouldn't be asking for more. I should be living every second of my life as though it's my last, because this way I will appreciate the things and people around me - seeing and not looking, speaking and not talking, caring and not bearing, loving and not liking. The reason to my sudden realization is due to some happenings unspoken of here. Because we don't know just what will happen to us the next day, next hour, next minute, next second... Or even now. If anything, I learnt something out of them and all those above can do my justice just fine.

Oops. It's 11.20p.m now. What happened to getting a decent sleep tonight?
*mental slap on the face* Ouch.
It's a sign, you know? (quoted from Barbie and The 12 Dancing Princesses)

我们要保持微笑
给孤单的人
一种心情的拥抱
