On the bus back to school now for stats tut and other stuff.
Sent Lixian off at the airport last now. Somehow managed to hold my tears in in front of her. I guess, she means much more to me than I thought..
If I really wanted to let go of this friendship, I wouldn't have even started knitting that scarf for her. After much struggling to finish with all the work, I ended at 245 rows, with 42 stitches in each row, it exceeded 10000 stitches, hopefully it all translates to blessings for her at UK. :)
Oh, I was casting off the scarf while waiting for the mrt to changi at Tanah merah, and this foreigner guy walked towards me and commented on how hard it is to knit and that it's such a beautiful piece. :) thank you for the compliment and sorry for being a bit not responsive because I was rushing to finish it..
Told my mum while waiting for the bus just now about Lixian starting to cry after hugging her brother, and how my brother would be happy instead if I went overseas to study. Haha, somehow this is slightly amusing.
Plainly told her I'm so jealous of Lixian having 2 big brothers who dote on her. To be honest, it wasn't just her. I was always jealous of girls with elder brothers protecting them and doting on them.
Then my mum said you have your mum, I would dote on you twice the amount. :) suddenly felt so loved and fortunate and I can't stop crying now. And she was saying how my brother would definitely protect me if anything bad happens.
And thinking about how my dad wanted to send me back to school today and avoiding to ask me about his traffic offence appeal even though it failed and all other stuff because he knew I was busy and wanted me to concentrate on uni.
Maybe, keeping a distance from family sometimes help to keep a healthy relationship... You avoid so much more conflicts and tend to express your love more.
One month into uni and I feel physically tired from all the work and mentally tired from trying so hard to manage all the social relationships.
But I gotta go on.
You gotta make this 3 years worthwhile Luping. And make the following years matter even more. You gotta chase down your dreams, your hopes, your wants. Do it big, make them proud.
Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of... :)
