A surprising day
Friday, Feb. 22, 2002 - 11:46 p.m.
Dearie Diary,
It had been 3 days since my last entry. For the past 3 days I had been busy with my work and activities. I went prayer meeting on Tuesday. Actually I go for this meeting every Tuesday. As the name implied there are prayers made that day but that is not the only thing we do in the meeting. I think I will not elaborate this in this entry as I will lose focus.
On Wednesday, I planned to cut my long hair short... but in the end, I did not do so as I thought I will look nicer with this length. So asked the hairstylist to layer my hair (since my hair is very thick) while keeping the length. So I went home after the cut feeling happy with the new haircut. However when I reached home, guess what! My brother told me that it look as if I did not cut it. What he said really made me wander if I had wasted the time & money on this haircut...
Finally at the end of the day, I realised that I should be happy with my haircut since that is what I felt in the first place. Why should I bother so much with what my brother thinks? Many a times, I think I really cares too much about what people thinks. That is not very good to think (and care) TOO MUCH of what people thinks yet the other extreme (too little) is not wise either. I must learn to strike a balance.
Thursday is the BEST day!!! lol... let me tell you what happen. I was on my way home from town and went to the upper deck of a bus hoping that I can find a seat for this long bus journey. SUDDENLY, someone called my name!!! Oh no, I think the shout was loud. I saw at the person who call me. She looks familar yet for a few moment I was wandering who she is...
'O... It is Li Fang' This came into my mind after I quickly 'looked' thru the memories in my brain. I knew her when we were in secondary (high) school. We were in the same class for the 1st two years only. In the 3rd and 4th year, we did not keep in much contact after we ended up in different class. Subsequently we went to different colleges.
Indeed I was shocked when she call my name. It is the excitement that is in her voice that shocked me most! Afterall, I hate to admit this but if we were to change position (i.e. I saw her coming up the upper deck.) I would think twice before calling her let alone calling her with excitement. What goes on in my mind would be... will she remember me? is it really her or is it just someone who look like her? Nevermind about what happen if I was in her shoes because the reality is that she called me. I was so happy to know that a long-lost friend remembered me!
We talk on and on... from what happen after we got our O levels results to what happen when we were in college to how we find it hard to cope with the subjects, to why we think that the A levels paper was tough to what are we working as now. Wow, even when I reach my bus-stop (she will alight after me) I don't feel like stopping the GREAT conversation. But alas, I still have to alight... I got out the bus to realise that I did not get her contacts!!! How absent-minded am I? Though sad about that, I felt not-so-bad due to the conversation we have. Hopely I will see her again somewhere... somehow... sometime soon...
That's all for now. I wander if the sentences I type this are clear, but I hope that all who read this will understand what I am trying to say.
