i know it's not year end yet it might be a tad too early for me to do a review on the entire year but still :\
let's begin with 010108.
things were shaky.
damn shaky.
and then i made a stupid mistake and ended up in TPJC for PAE.
somehow i managed to convince myself maybe going TPJC is just what i needed, forcing myself to have to open up to everyone, to a whole new school where i know literally nobody at all.
first day of orientation i ponned.
didn't plan it.
texted jon the entire journey to school, telling him what a nerve wreck i was.
my bus stopped at meridian jc and i thought, i must be on the wrong bus so i alighted and checked the directory again.
dang it's just a few more stops away.
checked my watch.
die.
late for sure.
chickened out and called my mum, told her i was going home no matter what she says.
texted and told jon i was ponning school afterall.
the school called.
duh i feigned ill.
second day i told myself i HAVE to face TPJC sooner or later i might as well just go now.
dressed up, went to school.
texted jon again and ranted about my nervousness.
finally couldn't take it and told my dad to just drive me to school.
that way i couldn't escape.
and when i arrived, seeing everyone knowing at least somebody there, i felt super lonely.
stood one corner like a statue, texting and telling jon how lonely i felt.
then the bell finally went and i followed the crowd to the hall.
sat at my OG.
eleanor was there, right beside me.
of course i didn't know who she was.
guess after that first day she managed to open up and hence she was the very first to talk to me, handing me the programme list for the rest of the orientation, trying to get me to open up and introducing me to everyone else.
the entire school looked at me like i was from outer space because i was literally the first and last rvian to ever appear in TPJC.
and then i came to know beatrice.
and a few others.
then we started exchanging subject combis we had in mind.
2 days later eleanor and i ended up in the same class.
she led me around, opening up to everyone and talking real quickly, the way everyone talked to everyone else real quickly too.
soon i was dubbed the rv girl.
the girl from rv.
jude and greg were the only guys in class, greg became the class chairperson.
managed to mix in pretty okay, but it still felt a bit like oil and water with the rest of them.
except greg eleanor yuki joanne geraldine and szu yu i guess.
and then one day, everything suddenly came apart between jon and i.
kinda expected i guess.
just that i was still trying to adjust to TPJC, so :\
talking to greg and eleanor one day though and then they both confided something to me.
still not revealing what it is though.
hey i'm a good friend and confidante alright (:
2 weeks later i couldn't take the emotional stress anymore and stayed from school.
3 days later i realise i really missed everyone in school.
couldn't bring myself back to face them though.
regret.
spent my days holed up in my room crying trying to get myself to stand up again.
hard.
darn angry with myself for trusting him too much.
JAE started.
damn tempted to take a year off.
of course nobody allowed me to.
so went to school, damn weary, trying to put on a happy front.
met mau.
orientation was never something i enjoyed, so it was the usual for me.
then i got sorted into class, and i really knew nobody.
jiali was the first to talk to me, and then she pulled me along and cheryl joined the both of us.
along came huiqi into the clique.
started thinking maybe life wasn't too bad afterall.
pushed all unhappiness to one corner of my mind and tried to stay upbeat.
this kinda of facade will never last long i guess, as the stress from lit term paper struck me with a sudden blow in my stomach, and i took it out on cheryl, then totally breaking down in the girls' toilet at the grandstand, breaking down mainly because of what i pushed only to the back of my mind.
and then everything between the 4 of us fell apart too.
sheena came along and tried to tug me out of my emotional state.
forced myself to open up a little, telling myself there's still hope, and talked to hazique, for he appeared to be a close friend of sheena.
3 of us got along fine and 2 months later, we were like a clique already.
the 3rd month cheryl huiqi and i were talking, but not as close as before i guess (?), but one fine day during lunch jiali finally asked me that question, " can we go back to what we were, way back before, and forget everything?"
i smiled and nodded.
inside me i was thinking, what about yifang? she's with them now. what will she think. and i have hazique and sheena now. i can't force them together can i? and things with jiali and the rest always felt like.. something out of my reach. i tried to talk to hazique and sheena + jiali cheryl and huiqi.
i tried to make things work between all of us.
i guess now i see it, i was trying to force the zhiyu i am when im with sheena and hazique together with the zhiyu i am when im with jiali cheryl and huiqi.
absurd.
and then there was yifang.
uncomfy.
things weren't the same, no matter how much all of us tried to make it the same.
and then gradually i shifted towards sheena and hazique.
i didn't want anymore changes, and i didn't want to spoil things between them and yifang.
sheena and hazique are damn good friends to be with.
just like jiali cheryl and huiqi are.
it was tough i'll admit.
but whenever i think of yifang with them, i ask myself, will i ever fit in again?
i realise, no, not really.
it's hard.
not because of cheryl and huiqi, but because somehow, during that little break jiali and i had between us, everything just drifted apart, we barely saw eye to eye anymore, there were more.. i don't know.
it was harder not to argue than before.
i don't know why.
it upsets me.
drifted back to sheena and hazique.
remained friends with cheryl and huiqi, drifting from jiali.
and then meanwhile, after that breakdown in the washroom, i met edmund, on viwawa (ya wtf i know). he knew who jon was, i found myself able to spill everything to him, he was able to offer comforting words, so i remained in contact with him, giving each other advice (fine mostly him giving me advice, can? tsk.) and bla.
i thought i walked out of things between jon and i.
penang trip came jinxian.
fooled me like i was an idiot.
actually, i AM an idiot.
i was a big fool that time when he met me.
i won't deny, penang was an excuse for me to run away from things in SG for a while, so i could take a breather.
i added everyone i knew from penang trip when i got home, and then he came and fooled me like i was nothing.
yup, i WAS nothing.
nice lesson learnt anyway.
gave friends around me a headache sinking into that stupid emotional state again.
promos died, all thanks to one person, he knows who he is.
drifted back to that.. history.. from p6 again.
and came out of it.
a call from someone did the job, you know who you are, thank you (:
attended CABIN camp and then tinklefriend camp, both as camp facilitators.
met mingyao, albin, guanning.
all of who became good friends.
learnt to open up to others, learnt to lead a group in camp, learnt to handle different situations, more confident in quite a few things now, thanks to hazique for organising CABIN CIP for us. helped me a lot (:
suddenly became emo over jon again, no idea why.
just at that very moment chubby (the hamster that just died) fell really sick.
hurt me, was unfair to me..
chubby fell more ill..
and then died that one fateful day.
and then i suddenly remembered my promise to myself, that i'll really wipe jon from my memory, remove him from everywhere, every area of my life.
had no courage to do it.
couldn't bear to.
hazique said i should.
talked sense into me.
and then edmund too said people like him don't deserve the niceness we treat them with.
both of them said i'll not regret extricating him form my life.
both said i'll feel better.
and so i did it.
all that's left now are physical gifts from him.
soft toys etc.
but i already feel much better.
i feel.. free.
sure, i slackened in school work because of that emotional stress i've been under, i've been retained, i think i should give myself another chance.
but i really don't regret not giving into that temptation of staying home from school the entire year.
if i did, who knows if i'd be free now.
if i did, i wouldn't have gained all these new friends.
if i did, there'd be things i wouldn't have learnt.
i'd still be that useless weakling.
and i wouldn't know to treasure something, i wouldn't know not to force things and push them further when i'm not sure of anything..
i changed from the initial INFP that i was, to INFJ, felt damn weird and hence tried to understand myself further, the current me, got used to it, and then became an ISFJ, which i then tried again to get used to. and then i became the INFP i once was, again, right after i removed him from my life.
one big round.
and i remembered, my S N P and J have always been mixed up.
cuz they're all 50:50 parts of me.
and anyway they're all just a general gauge of my personality, nothing too customised or to be trusted in 101%.
oh okay only i know what i'm talking about.
-.-
現在的距離..
..是完美的比例.
