A Boring Afternoon
Sunday, September 9, 2007
What a slow afternoon it is today. Everyone is out with the exception of me and my grandmother. I just didn't have the mood to go out today and view new apartments. My main computer is down, so I'm left with the super lousy Pentium 3 computer which has no sound at all so basically I can't play any games, nor can I listen to music.
I went to read all the old posts of my two old blogs. I was definitely much different then than now, it surprised me. Looks like being 15 years old and being 18 makes a really big difference. Thank goodness there were still some traits that I retained. For one I am still a very reflective and philosophical person. But the way I wrote back in 2004 definitely amused me. How could I have been so egoistic and so immature? I was surprised though, that my language then was pretty good. Perhaps that's a sign for me to start improving my English again, since I have not improved on my vocabulary much since then (that's what I think). Must be interesting to see how immature I am a few years from now when I read back at this post. Maybe 2 years will be sufficient? Mr Keith Prince said that I "damned well will be more mature after NS". Hmm, this will really be interesting to see. But that is if I am willing to actually blog more. I just realised I normally do not blog, partly because blogging consistently seems more like a chore to me rather than for fun. (I'm still a lazy person like I was years back.) The other thing that is more important, is that I prefer blogging only when I am alone, without my family at home, or when everyone else is sleeping. Perhaps I really value privacy and the time to be alone and reflective, and I think this side of me has become stronger over the years. Small wonder why I hardly post on blogs. I definitely won't feel comfortable if someone was behind me watching what I type.
Enough of my reflective side. Today's a slow day. My prelims have ended long ago and most people have just started or are going to start their prelims tomorrow. So I find myself without anyone to go out and with nothing to do, no Warcraft III for me. T_T
The sun's shining pretty brightly and I can hear the crickets chirping. It just takes me back to the days when I was young, going out with my Uncle and Aunt. They would bring me to all sorts of places. Changi Airport, Sentosa, the many Reservoirs and Nature Parks in Singapore. Basically I have covered most of the ulu places in the country when I was young, those days are long gone now, but I really wanna go to a reservoir with someone and just stay there, lulling the day away. This is not the time I suppose, as everyone else is having prelims so I can't ask them out. Maybe after all our exams are over, I would ask someone special to go with me and enjoy a lazy afternoon together just like this. || posted by Kuan Hui
