I Am 22, Going On 23 (Part 3 of 3)
Part 3
I miss university life a lot, and all my wonderful friends. All the good times we shared…I feel it even more in times like this, especially during the festive breaks. Back in uni, Audrey, Yin Ling and I would chat over lunches and class breaks, or hang out… I would go visiting with classmates, have dinners with Vesha, attend bible study, cell group and church with those wonderful members, and catch a movie with Stephanie; play the guitar with Chin Nee while she played the violin; have a drink or supper with Vishnu occasionally to catch up on each other; keep busy and share nice times with club committee members, stay over at Florence’ place when the club got us busy up to our noses; jogging, mountain climbing, walking, suppers and chit chats with Kiran; go to Jaya Jusco, Tesco or Mahkota Parade, watch vcds using the computer with my roommate, Aruna (since we did not have a television) etc….
I thank God that over here, He gave me the opportunity to join the Young Adults cell…I really look forward to it every week and the members are really nice. They are my friends over here. Although I only just began joining it, I’ve had some good times together with them…And it’s nice to remember that the person who invited me to the cell group is actually one of my childhood friends with whom I had not kept in touch in years…
Basically, my social life here revolves around church related activities…Anyway, it’s good I don’t go out individually with friends here like in uni, to share about life ( but occasionally I get the opportunity when my uni friends are back here), so my thoughts and stories primarily flow through my blogging. Hence, my super-long blogs! Sometimes, I wonder if my friends actually read my blogs till the end since they are so long…but I tend to allow myself to defy the “Keep It Short and Sweet-KISS” rule.
Hmm… so much for 22 going on 23…for me, not very much different from “I am 16, going on 17,” as it goes in one of my favorite songs in The Sound of Music…It is still very close to my heart as are the other songs in the musical. A very beautiful and meaningful story…Well, while not all stories in life may have a fairy-tale ending, “if you see the wonder of a fairy tale, you can take the future even if you fail.” And one can continue to sing “I have a dream”, and keep the faith.
