I'm up early today :)
Feeling particularly emotional. And that's all my fault. Know why? Cuz this morning I woke up with this sudden need to read my Sec4 autographs so I pranced outta bed and went ard looking for my autograph book.
Reading it brought me back to my
Sec4 carefree days. At least they seem to be a lot more carefree than now. Well, I was so emotional reading some that I almost felt like tearing. Gosh, am such a wuss! Some of them were really touching, particularly the Oogas'. Sighhh Roxy's autograph was awesomely sweeet and I loved it so much. Corinne's was so funny and cute and it made me think of all the times we did stupid things together in the name of fun. Alyssa's was as usual the ultimate sugar coated poetic autograph :) She makes me tingle. Then, Qibby's autograph really touched me cuz she wrote it from the heart and I miss you lots cutie! :) Yupp, we call each other cutie. I hope we still do yeahh cuz I still remember our ego trips. Haha. Ohh, also, Nicole's old neoprints in my book were really funny and yes dear, steads forever! Haha. Anywayy, then there was Wyna's which was so funny cuz we were 'angels' and she wrote a poem for me too. Lulu wrote the usual poem which was really retarded and nobody cld really comprehend it. Okayy, I'm going into remininscing mode. The list goes on. I read so many autographs that my eyes hurt a bit. Y'know, I'm so glad that I received all these autographs cuz well, it's irreplaceable. And I dun even see more than half the pple who wrote in it anymore. I think I'd really cry if I lost all the autographs.
Oh and yesterday, while I was in the bus on the way to school, somebody stepped in smelling like hairspray and gel. And you know what it reminded me of?
Dance performances and competitions. The mad rush to get makeup and hair done. The outrageous costume changes in between. The adrenaline rush on stage. The booming music in the background. The rhythm. The applause and support you get after the performance ends. The jitters you get backstage. The cheesy smiles. Mann, it all seems like such a distant memory now. What happened to CHIJLL guys? (And yes I'm talking to Cor, Rox, Kristy, Sonia etc) That too seems to be a far off goal. Well, maybe after As or sth? A reunion of some sorts.
Anyway it sucks how I feel that I have almost lost my spark, together with my rosiness (in every sense of the word). No, I'm not talking abt appearances. It's more like in every one of those autographs, the person wrote of my chirpiness, my bubbly personality, my smiles and especially,
my laughter. I dun know why, but I feel that I laugh a lot less now. I smile a lot less too. Okay maybe not the smiles but I'm pretty sure I laugh alot less now. The silly giggles I used to break into in class included. Mann, I wanna go back to those times. I really
really do. Yilin even compared me to a tomato in her autograph. Where has my bubbly personality gone to? It must be hibernating somewhere. I miss it, can it please come back to me? RETURN! Haha. But well, I guess, through circumstances and conditions, people change. It's inevitable and I just hope that change isnt so drastic cuz I really miss my old self. Okayy, this paragraph seems awfully self-centred. But reflections, it is. Just let me continue even though I know it's pretty early in the morning for such depressing thoughts. Nahh, if you were wondering if I was some kinda depressed teenager, it is very much a pleasure for me to tell you that I am NOT, thank you very much :) I'm pretty happy actually. Just that the past seems so much more rewarding. Us indulging in the smallest delights and laughing at almost anything and everything. Now, I just feel old and cynical. Like a shrivelled up prune. May be a tad of an exaggeration but it's quite close to it. Goshhh, I really am feeling emotional aren't I. My paragraph seems absolutely long and relentless.
Well, people must be thinking why I bother to blog abt such things right. Cuz I know some think blogs are stupid. Need I repeat myself? Haha it's an outlet, an avenue. Especially for me to complain, vent and reflect. At times, I do feel that blogs are stupid too but I happen to like it very much now! Haha :)
Yuppp, I miss you guys a lot right now. You know who you are. All the 4/9 pple, the dancers. I do hope we can meet up real soon even though we all are leading our own separate lives. Much love. :)
