LSC '06
So what did I take away?
...
1) A screwed CD player. Someone smart person (to fall short of calling the person an animal) played a pirated China CD on it and it's now wonderfully screwed. And they took it without asking me first. Wow. First my hairdryer, now my CD player. I shall never, never lend electronic stuff to my friends again, no matter how generous I am feeling. Say what you may. Twice bitten, thrice shy.
It would have been nice to hear a word of apology. Whatever.
2) A malfunctioning nose. I've been sleeping the day away, except for when I got up to go to church to practice for tomorrow's service.
3) Lit Homework. I was sitting happily on the sidelines after my glasses got nicely smashed out of shape during Dog and Bone when Ms Teng came over and went, "Jane, please let your class know that there's lit homework uploaded on the IVLE." I couldn't really retaliate, 'cause she was the umpire. And my class was in the middle of a game on the court she was in charge of. Oh well.
4) Some, make that most, makeup serves no purpose. For example, mascara just gives you panda eyes, as does eyeliner. Curling your eyelashes is painful and totally unobvious, especially when dining in a not-so-bright environment.
5) Table Manners. It's really quite hard to bring food up to one's mouth without spillage, especially soup. And waiters hovering around can be quite irritating because you feel you aren't eating fast enough.
6) Watching one's friends play at being grown up is WEIRD. Like the really silly class parade. The idea of a class parade is actually not that silly, but the way some of them acted was. I get goosebumps thinking of them.
7) Three and a half hours to bathe and dress up for a formal dinner is only enough if everyone starts lining up and behaving like monkeys. A long line of people helping each other style hair, dry hair, tie dress straps, put on eye shadow, take pictures, pick and eat lice off fur (oops did I just type that? My bad.) is really the solution.
8) Friends.
A. Brittany is quite cute dancing the can-can, (Do it again for me to video tape it!) while Sarah wonderously keeps her calm "queen" demeanor.
B. Even "professional" people like Tianyi DO dance idiotically when given the chance. Hoho. No offense meant, pres.
C. SOME people get as sticky as super glue the moment you be nice to them. Its as if they take your good intentions (like lending them a pencil) as an invitation to be your best friend. Oh, its just sickening.
D. Why why WHY do they have to keep the telly on ALL THE TIME? Now, don't mistake this for anger, it's really pure curiousity. No one's watching, its noisy, and I can't sleep! I must find out one day.
E. There are so many ways of friendship. One way I found out was celebrating someone's birthday, then niao-ing her so bad she igonores all. -_-. I can't believe it! *Exasperated look*. On one hand she opens opportunities for them to scold her and stuff, on the other hand they needn't carry it so far >.<
F. If you win all the time, after awhile you forget how to lose graciously. So I shall remember how it feels like to lose.
G. Don't take pictures with Elaine, because her slim figure just emphasizes how fat I am. Haha, just kidding. Nah, love to take pictures with the preeeeddy girl. *Have you shown the picture to him yet? Lol! :)
H. Melissa doesn't eat veggies too! I thought she was the kind who didn't care about food!
I. Being surrounded by those closest to me can't take away individuality. There's a solitary feeling that can't be taken away because we're all one by ourselves. I am me, and I must learn to be by myself sometimes, even though we do learn to merge our thinking, our laughter with others. Nothing can turn two or a group into one. Only God sees straight into me and knows me for who I truly am.
J. I do NOT belong at discos or anything. And my school's idea of dancing is as funny one. During the so-called "dancing" section of the formal dinner, what I really wanted to do was to sit/stand in a corner by myself to feel the beat thumping through me, surrounded by it all, a passive observer; take a walk in the darkness just to be with only me, and observe the mood, the feeling, the peoople, the place from a distance. Couldn't really do that of course, but I had a short quiet stroll with Ruth.
Why do I long for such loneliness in the middle of people? Why do I look for quiet in the heat of noise? I don't know the answer, perhaps I never will. Sometimes I'm so afraid of being alone, at other times I just want to feel quietly, alone. To muse over the liveliness, the laughter, the place brimming with life and activity. The feeling of being untouchable, solitary. I do wish there was another to be with me who felt the same way, who would just enjoy the quiet without questioning or needing explanation. Another of me. Will I ever find that person? I have plenty of close friends, and they are all so different, but none of them can ever really understand that feeling of mine. To stop, or at best forget, time and take in everything around me, and store it all inside me, remembering as I go by.
Haha... The crappy writer in me had taken control. So sorry.
LSC was somewhat useful, somewhat fun, mostly interesting.
*Sigh*
I really am a crappy person aren't I? I suppose we all are to some degree. If I weren't stupid I suppose things would be different now.
Mirror, mirror hanging on the wall. Tell me, seriously, is this who I am for all time? Half-grown, half-child. I can't imagine myself any other way, but I know one day I will be different, and eventually just like Jesus.
(Stupid writer's out again.)
Ok, Ms Teng and Ms Foo, give me whatever you've got.
