I want to write down everything in my mind, to make them permanent, but sometimes, things are better forgotten, even if they're very valuable.
In my uncle's house using my cousin's laptop right now while everybody else is watching some old movie starring 许冠杰 and 许冠文. Ian and Sijun are having a happy chat near me. I tried to chat and I failed. Again.
After all these years I'm still the uncool girl who can't make up a short conversation or crack up a simple joke.
But I'm okay. 16 years of ignorance taught me how to get used to this kind of social life. I know it's important -correction, crucial- that I must know how to communicate with others without involving awkward silences but then, to me, all these are unnecessary. Yes, I don't really need them so much, despite what you say Vi.
And being quiet during discussions are good. You don't make a fool out of yourself and you get to listen to people's stupid comments. Plus, sometimes they don't notice you sitting in the corner deep in thoughts nearby and they start talking about bad things about you and you get to listen to all of them.
Flipped through the photo album today. Everyone is photogenic, all but me. See that's the negative part about not being able to smile naturally in front of camera lens, you get the memories captured forever but they look awful.
Little by little, I'm having a total makeover. My ambitions, thoughts, looks and everything are changing gradually. I realised that it doesn't matter that I'm a nobody while I'm being a child or a teen. One day, years later, Huiyi will no longer be the girl with the nerdy glasses and nerdy looks and nerdy style.
Going to 通宵later. Over and out.
XOXO,
Huiyi
