Well now. Technically I fly off tomorrow but since I haven't gone to bed yet I will stubbornly continue to consider this the same day as Wednesday. In which case I just spent a day at the beach, tomorrow is my last night in my bed and the following day my last in Penang.
The beach today was good! It mostly involved hanging out with people I've come to know well only within the past year and a half, with the exception of TX, Sien Loong and Zheng Yang. Honesty demands that I admit being a bit more distanced from Ai Ping and Shiao Pei in more recent years, till various meetings have brought us closer together again. Everybody else - Pin, Van, Wan Phing, Aster - all are acquaintances prior to SPM but only friends very recently. Aster brought that to my attention and it's perfectly true.
Note also that the recent friends are all female. I have definitely gotten more comfortable around girls in the past year. All you who were at the beach bear in mind these are only observations! Comfortable as in socially. I think I'm worrying too much about what people will read into this. Too self-conscious. But yes. I owe PESSOC a fair bit for helping me get over shyness - having only girls my age to talk to left a noticeable mark on me. Think that Uplands made a bigger one though. Also all the going out with people more, Ai Ping's parties n trips out with the Inti Pg gang in which Vern and I were the 2 token guys, and Aster's always tagging along at Gurney with Loong and the rest of my too-Free buddies :) I should not also forget late night chats with Pin, Van and Wan Phing on all sorts of topics. But of course real life meetings are so different from MSN. Thank you all.
I would love to be more profound but alas the sandman always takes his toll on good sense, common sense, horse sence and all that. My brain is snoozing. My body is soldiering on. Not much hope. Good night!
