Wrong Quote

Do you know that feeling where you just feel gloriously happy for no reason?..

Feels like being on a high where you just think omg I can do anything, NOTHING CAN STOP ME *puts hands out while riding a bike*

Okay, I just suddenly really got feel to write something here. I've been in a good mood unreasonably for the past two weeks or so, which is kinda scary because you know what those hipster tumblr(s) say:

Man, so deep. Sometimes Tumblr is just, wow. 

TOUCH.WOOD. CHOI.

Speaking of quotes, let me tell you a story of how I met someone who actually quotes Taylor Swift in real life. And also, said person was a guy. Probably drunk. but still extremely funny. 

I went to this fancy place-where-alcohols-are-served (censored) with a friend. We were drinking apple cider which was awesome, tastes like apple juice plus soda and it won't kill you or make you throw up all over yourself like an idiot. There was another table of three guys who wanted to buy us drinks according to the waitress, which we said no thanks. But then they too kepoh, wanted to just sit down and chat and yam cha with us. Friendly, probably, creepy? Yeah pretty much. They're like 30+, and they are pretty chatty. So yeah, they started talking about their jobs and stuff, and then life philosophy lolwhut. Then one of them started talking about love and dating and then he starts quoting Taylor Swift:

'We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.'

Hahahahahaha I don't know what to say. Well at least he's young at heart, and mostly drunk. Next time, limit those quotes to ages 15 and below only ok, especially if sober. 

Crowd

There comes a time in life where acting like a child doesn't make people think you're cute anymore. It probably just make people want to kick you in the shin.

(Oh after all these years I finally know what shin means, it's the front part of your calves lul learned that in gym.)

But hey, there comes a time for everyone to start acting mature right. Unfortunately growing old does not equal growing up. And worse, sometimes growing up means growing apart. 

During my recent trip to Sydney with a gang of friends, we all started being philosophical and talked about the issue of making friends. Maybe we're all just ancient and old or what not but we agreed that we all have enough friends at this age, which means we don't put as much effort into making new ones. I'm not trying to say I'm antisocial, I wouldn't ignore people who start conversations with me, but then again I wouldn't go around introducing myself to everyone in the room either. Honestly, true friends are hard to come by after college, or maybe even high school, so I guess we just tend to keep our close friends instead of making many acquaintances. It's not such a sad thing actually, it just means that you've got enough support from your close friends that you don't feel the need to go out looking for more.  This also means we lose some of our old friends that we don't get along with since we just don't really bother anymore and well, we'd just grow apart eventually. But you'll begin to realize the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people because they are the ones who will stick with you through thick and thin, and they will also be the people who make you want to be a better person.

To become a better person, you need to surround yourself with people better than you. Likewise, to become a mature person, you need to surround yourself with mature people. 

Missing

I miss the sound of the TV in the background.

I miss the sound of you singing as you do the chores.

I miss the whirl of the ceiling fan on hot afternoons.

I miss the sound of the rain on the roof late at night as I fall asleep.

I miss the familiar voice calling my name in the evenings.

I miss not missing those sounds.
