back home, and yet it seems i've found another new home
Asakusa, Sakura Hostel, room 301.
back in singapore but it feels like i've found another place, a place where i can be who i really want to be (aka fangirl like crazy the whole day)
these 13 plus days really feels like a dream, and yet the pictures are evidence that it really did happen
i mean, who would've expected anyone to meet people online, become friends (good friends or more like, crazy fangirls together hahaha), hang out together for the past one year and more, and actually go to the place we've desired for years. i mean, i've really yearned to go Japan since i started watching anime. kindergarten? nursery? primary school? i dont even remember.
but the point is, it really feels like a dream to be able to go on this trip (despite how willful i know i've been sigh and yet i get carried away again and again) with friends, with fangirls, with #awave.
im so happy that i've become closer with each of them, find out about their quirks aka shuen-ko's night mode and how peishi acts when she's drunk and gets really red in the whole face when she eats something spicy, and how van spreads her things around her area and invades others' territory, and how the midnight konbini group leaves crisis and i alone and a lot a lot more which i can never finish saying, just because.
it surprises me how this friendship can last, honestly.
i mean, people are always saying "BEWARE OF THE INTERNET, PROTECT YOUR OWN PRIVACY" and lol dont worry up till now i havent been raped. (or if you count fangirling together after eyeing ikemen and spazzing over our idols' photos as eye-rape, then okay i dont mind being raped in that sense over and over again LOL) but yeah, we've been seeing each other and our small group has gradually expanded, which really makes me feel really happy to get to know so many people, and fangirls at that.
of course, things are not pretty all the time. during the span of this trip, i've shown my own "ugly" side, and i've seen the others' too. but thats not the main point. the point is, its how we accept each others' flaws and make up for it, and eventually come to a consensus, not a compromise. true enough, we might have to make compromises sometimes, but i love how everything ends on a happy note anyway. it made me realise how important it is to communicate, too. but yeah that's just my own take.
these girls are so brave. personally, i would never have dreamt of going overseas with friends, yeah upbringing and all, yada yada yada. and yet time and again im so impressed by how they get used to unfamiliar routes and know how to strategise and get to the place we wanna go using the cheapest amount of money, and how we take care of each other and how we amazingly never get into any big trouble. and how we manage to stick close together even in Shibuya the scramble crossroad. the crowd is crazy. even if i capslock CRAZY it doesnt even describe how congested the streets were, especially in shopping areas and especially on new years. Omg never wanna experience dragging my luggage through the new year's crowd ever again.
and of course, how adorable these girls are haha. how we share the common language "OMG SO CUTE!!!!!" when we spazz. and how we 'fight' over our idols and tease each other. and how caring they all are, especially when i was sick. ok i rarely get sick so i was really shocked that my constitution was actually weak during that time. i guess you gotta be prepared for the unpredictable, sigh. but yeah. the point is, i feel really loved haha. special thanks to J for being so considerate and lending me your warmer and the others for tolerating my childish demands when i was sick lol cant help it i think i got it from my mum HAHA when she's sick she acts like a child too >__> ehe. O///O ahhhh. omg they really took really good care of me. the day i was sick,i had to keep reassuring my own mum that it's alright im fine they really take good care for me, but yeah. maybe it'll be a while before i can go overseas with my friends again ;______; especially since i went Venice last year too.... sigh.
can't help but hate how selfish i am at times, but think about it again, it makes up for it doesnt it? im not usually like that hmm. okay or maybe i'm just in denial lol.
and i'm getting sidetracked.
surprisingly, i didnt cry as much as i thought i would. maybe it's because i remember more of the times we shared together that brings me warmth, that makes me smile. although the farewell and the parting is sad, i guess personally i remember much more of the fun times we shared together.
thank you, the seven of you. Thank you J, thank you Venna, thank you Vanessa, thank you Mango, thank you Crisis, thank you shuen-ko, thank you PeiShi, for making this trip possible, for making this trip fun, for tolerating each other, for being there for everyone.
anticipating the next time we'll be going back there again.
