just got back last friday, flying off again on saturday night:( i know i should be really grateful for the opportunity to travel, but i'm feeling a small sense of animousity towards boarding an aeroplane and being whisked away again. after last year's hectic December, i've developed a small aversion to travelling. one week is nowhere near enough time to catch up with old friends and just relax. and it's scary cos i'm back on the 23rd, and then christmas (yuck), then new year's, then IB results. then it's army. so technically after i get back there's HARDLY any time at all. which sucks. i wish i wasn't travelling. i wish i could just stay in singapore and not have to wear thermals and just hang out with my friends or play basketball or just watch movies and stuff. though i guess i'll be singing a different tune once i'm there but for now this is my stand.
i hate travelling.
and christmas and new year's are the most depressing times of the year. i seriously cannot stand the christmas parties and the merriment and the stupid christmas games and the jingle bells. isn't christmas supposed to be spent with people you love? i don't love any of the people i spend christmas with (save for my family, who i hardly even talk to at those dinners because they're talking to other people so what's the point). the most enjoyable christmas was probably spent cycling down orchard road in 2007. with my friends. i don't see the point of seeing the same people for 10 years at the same christmas parties on the same date and they ask/tell you the same things they asked you last year.
what level are you in now? when are you going for NS? wow you grew taller! (uh huh.) oh you look just like your father!
it's pointless. i guess i'm in a rather rebellious mood now. instead of dragging me somewhere where i'm unhappy and (despite the whole idea of christmas) everything is so impersonal, i should just do what i want from the 24th to the 2nd and be happy. no one at the stupid parties is gonna miss my absence anyway.
sigh.
i wish i only had to attend 2 or 3 parties max. then get the rest of christmas to myself. i think i'm being reasonable. i'll attend all the important family dinners because they're family. just leave me out of the rest. i haven't asked for a christmas present since i was twelve i don't think it's too much to be granted this. i apologize if this post sounds conceited but i need space from the over-eager frivolities and the diluted punch. i wish i could spend christmas with people i love, and not with people whom my parents feel obliged to see. the hunt for the ever-elusive christmas cheer.
and from the 24th of December to the 2nd of January, i really hope i get some.
