Before my trip to Hang Zhou
On friday, I was in a very happy mood because I was on the phone with a couple of frens(Hui Xian and Wei Ting). We talked for quite sometime, pleasant to hear them and especially soo knowing what was going to happen. Manage to get Miss Ng to send me something relectantly (I really want it),and found the conversation amusing. In anycase, both calls, together with that with my mum, made my night. Because going to HangZhou(Was really tired and was not keen, but was persuaded by my roommate to do so, so needed some spiritual push) on Sat, decided to call them. AFter being on the phone for about 2 hours, something happened.
Before coming back to make my calls at about 945pm, I was with my frens in the playground tryong to cheer one of them. My fren was feeling down after receiving a call from S'pore and because she did not want tell tell us about it, we decided not to probe and just keep her company. Did all sorts of funny stuff to make her happy but it did not really help. Then suddenly, she wanted to drink. Though I don't feel right about it,the others felt that if it can help her, why not? So i did not say much and return home to make my calls. Then the whole saga began at about 1230am when I was about to sleep.
Was packing my laptop then the doorbell rang and I went to open the door.I saw my frens with bottles of beer and vodka. One of my flatmates accompanied her because 3 of us will be leaving for HangZhou so we decided to sleep first. It did not take long before she became drunk and started shouting and saying things tt we don't understand. Intially we thought that she was joking, but when when she started falling in all directions, even when she is sitting down. We were all very busy trying to make sure that she doesn't hit herself. She threw herself in all corners of the house, all directions , really any space available. When we put her onto the sofa, she actually rolled down from there. We were all very shocked, then hurried put her back to the sofa. We were all stunned, and frantic.Really a mental trauma for all of us. That was not the end, she ended up crying for her mum and hitting herself. We were soo worried that she might hurt herself so we stood by her till she slept.That kept me awake till 2am, and having to wake up at 315am, it was torture.
Hunn, but the whole thing set me thinking. All of us think that she should be homesick, and heard that she is also experiencing some relationship and frenship problem. I don;t know how i would handle if i am the one, but glad that so far, I am still able to handle my emotions. Think this trip will allow me to experience it, the feeling of being totally independent. Very happy that I am able to call home everyday, as well as my frens back inS'pore. It really makes my life here soo much better. I have frens who are only allowed to call back like 3 times a week, because their parents find it troublesome. Everytime when I call home, I know that I am being loved by my family, this is a very important feeling that I think keeps me going.So pp back in S'pore, treasure your family, to be able to be with them everyday is a blessing.(So far, 3 of my girl frens have broken down..........)
