after 2 weeks in Hall 16, this is the first time to try "opening my mouth", to introduce myself, to someone I totally have no idea of... and I was glad that I "opened" that golden mouth of mine, which have been left "closed" for quite some time now.. since... 1 year ago..?
Anyway, shall just note down what entertaining points this new friends said.
He is also a Yr 4 Student, in Econs. Shall not put his name (just in case he have a fanclub, and decided to google him, and find him "here" instead lol!
To take the first step to step out of my "emo state" in Hall 16, I forced this line out of myself...
"Hi, I am new to Hall 16, don't know anyone here. Can I know you? My name is Jiahe *shag smile" (cos after a jog around NTU, so still cooling down outside corridor)
wah.. this line sounds totally LAME sia....
Anyway, the chat proceed on and he start to chat things which I didn't expected.
1. So since you are a senior from Hall 10 for the past 3 years, you must be quite high profile?
I replied that I am just useful and friendly I guess.
2. So you are a extrovert?
In a way, I thought that's quite a interesting observation for him to guessed that of me, cos the way I introduced myself, doesn't seems extrovert, it's more like a "emo kid who just want A friend outside his door"...
Anyway, I forgot what I replied, but I said something that I am not a extrovert. Just happen to learn how to talk to people for the past 3 years in Hall or something... then again, it's true mah. No one would agree that I am talkative.
I am not an extrovert. I am just a introvert, who is able to talk when there's a need to.
(And all these lengthy words just shows that I am typer-tive.. one who types alot, cos.. that's a introvert's skill actually~)
3. haha, you don't have to be humble here. I also joined FOC since Yr 1, and stayed till now. I understand how you feel to be shifted to an different place. If we have dinner gatherings I will call you out k :)
ok thanks :)
Anyway, nice meeting such a interesting super senior. I don't know why... a big part of me is asking me to stop making new friends and start retaining old friends.... but another small part of me is asking me not to be emo "alone" in this hall... cos the little Jiahe within is going crazy when he's placed, back in a hall, after 3 years of "open door" concept in hall 10, and now all he faces is a long stretch of closed doors, and when he's back in the BIG room which cost $215 per month, with a roomie who doesn't really talk much to me... not that I like talking, but "sharing is caring". I also need some love from "humans" sia...
Anyway, I had created this concept of life, didn't know if I have posted it here before....
We should all learn to move on, friends come and go, don't try too hard to hold on too long, or the only one getting hurt is yourself...
learn to move on...
This rule of my life is suppose to make me less emo, when all my friends have just "disappear" from my life due to many life's changes, and for myself to adapt better... Just taking my hall life as an example.... in all my 3 years of my hall, I have (been forced to) changed all 3 roomies due to Hall points issue.
There's so many points in my life that the cycle of "friends changing-&-going" ended me up... with an unexpected 1000+ Facebook friends... which I didn't really want to make (just for the simple rule that if I can't even remember your name, I am not fit to be your friend.... so I shouldn't make the effort to talk to you, if I am "not" sincere about remember you, although it's due to a physical ability to do with my pea brain, but then again, I shouldn't be making any new friends... if I will just end up failing to recall). But when people tried to add you, they do "like" you enough to want to be your friend. So ignoring is just simply rude... and that's why I ended up with 1000+ friends in my list..
Even now when I have someone I want to "add" in Facebook, I also hope that he/she don't think that I just "add" for fun, cos my friends list is just showing that, most probably, I am some crazy guy who just love adding EVERYONE I see... or just heard of... or someone who just wants to act popular... or whatever -_-"
But I realised that at EVERY POINT of my life, my friends keep coming and going... and the cycle repeated so much that I just label my life "pathetic"... always too busy for a meetup...? Ya, great life when school just starts, I am just a prisoner of Pulau NTU... I just hope I survive this last year "happily" (if it's even possible...).
Ok nevermind.
Just survive. It's okay Jiahe.
Go fill the empty stomach... and sleep bah....
(and why do I ended up sounding emo again -_-... no worries, this should be a fun post, just had a sad looking ending. I will be totally fine :))
Ok, tomorrow is cycling to old IA workplace to start my "Salvation plan" of iron parts for my FYP named "design of an automatic Ironing machine". Have great ex-colleagues who have prepared the stuff for me, so I will just be there to do a little more of Garung Guni-ing.
And Mon-Wed I will be seeing my "old" friends!
Mon, GIP friends for Olivia campus concert.
Tues Dance, most prob will see another old friend there as well.
and Wed, going out to try Wendy's at JP, to have lunch with my "newest" old friend.
Hmm.. not bad. I still do meetup with "old friends" haha...
good night and enjoy the fun packed week!
Till we meet again....
run turtle run.
:)
