This is gonna be a long post because I haven't exactly been properly blogging lately. I just got back from shopping with Carmen and Julaine and I must say Carmen holds the Shopping Queen title among my friends in uni. My leg hurts from walking around in heels for too long. It was really fun getting to do and talk about girly stuffs together though. Luckily Cal and Alvin did not join us or they'd be bored to death listening to our chatters and waiting for us while we're busy trying on clothes. We tried like a zillion clothes but we only bought 2-3 clothes each in the end. One phrase sums it all, Girls will always be girls.
It wasn't all sunshiny for me today though. I was pretty upset over something that happened in class today but decided not to make it into an issue. Thankfully Cal understood in the end and decided against doing anything about it. I’m glad I have him when I need him to be around. Still can’t believe how blessed I am to be with such an amazing guy. So you see, the clouds that blocked mr. sunbeam floated away as quickly as it came. I'm just a lil bit in the mood for fancy writings tonight hehe.
On a different note, something ordinary but significant to me took place today. It reminded me once again that friends can truly be angels in disguise. A friend of mine lost her phone and she was feeling down because she especially needed her phone for a certain reason this few days. Without any second thought, another friend took out his phone and gave it to her to use it till the next Monday when she’ll be back from her hometown. It’s so rare to find such selfless people nowadays, don’t you think so? Well, that guy who offered her his phone do happen to have a brother who has many other extra phones at home but that really isn’t the point. The point is, he was willing to help out a friend in distress and give up his own comfort for the sake of someone more in need.
I'm humbled by his actions. Guess we all could afford to be more selfless next time we see someone in need. CNY's just around the corner. Normally I'd be hyped out getting to visit relatives back in Alor Star and have our usual steamboat dinner for reunion and then rounds of games and firework sessions. This year round, however, we won't be going back to AS. Instead, my family's coming down to KL next Friday. Dan's leaving to New Zealand on Saturday, CNY eve. Kinda suck big time when we all should be having fun laughing our hearts out that night.
I dread for that day to come. Can't bear to think how my parents especially would be like at the airport. I've to be strong that night. I hope I'm capable of that and not break down in front of him. Dan came over to Sunway to have lunch with me yesterday. I got into the car and not long after, he said there's something wrong with the dashboard and ask if I could check around. I looked around and then opened up the lil drawer-thingy and a Guess purse was in it. Dan's a thoughtful person but he hardly does this sort of surprises for me so I was really touched. I almost cried when he dropped me off at my place after lunch.
I know he's not leaving for good and its not that he isn't coming back forever but there's this unexplainable sadness even thinking about it now. Bottomline is, I am bad at goodbyes. I guess this is where I need to hand it over to the Big Guy up there to handle it for me.
I'd better stop right here before I overflood this post with too much sad sentiments when it was really intended to be a happy one. Oh well signing out here then. Till the next real post, i suppose :)
Love,
Gracie
He's all smiles and tough in the pictures but he was feeling really heavy to leave Malaysia. He told me when we were having our meal that he wasn't prepared to leave. I know he's just putting on a brave face so that my parents wouldn't feel sad.
