on the topic of being homesick- ive realised how wide that spectrum actually is.
i was speaking to a friend at 4am on sunday morning, when i was feeling my most emotional. looking at our msn lists with lumps in our throats as we watched friend after friend say goodnight and sign out.
"have you ever felt utterly, totally homesick?"
"yep. many, many times"
"really? thats surprising"
"yeh you know how when you're talking to your friends online or over the phone, and you just feel soo utterly distant, not just physically?"
"hmmm"
"mmm"
SIGH
i miss talking to sam and rit soo much. the tiny, silly little things that we talk about. be it discussing hot moms or annoying cousins.
i miss hanging out with pri, fa, sha. probbing, prying, getting the truth out of each other. winking, smiling, poking.
i miss going for lovely dinners with doo.
i miss being able to go across the road for chocolate prata and iced milo, way way way past midnight, with the 2 brothers.
i miss going out with xx to stuff our faces with yummy, yummy food and relive our childhood by doing the silliest things.
i miss going for long walks with daddy and coby.
i miss hanging out with the S1 people, laughing every 5 seconds at each and everyone of our antics.
i miss sitting in the kitchen chatting with mom while she cooks.
i woke up realising its deepavali day. my FIRST ever deepavali away from home. i received early morning smses from mom n dad which left me smiling, with tears in my eyes. im sure it feels odd for them to have not just 1 but 2 of us away from home. as much as i hated getting up in the morning, getting dressed, heading to the temple..oh wait, i still hate it.. i MISS coming back from the temple to the yummiest homecooked breakfast and deepavali milo (something the brothers n i rave about). one of the very, very few days when all 5 of us are up having breakfast together. coby running around wondering why the whole family is home. lol.
sigh the simple joys in life tht u miss when ure far, far away.
i cant wait to get back.

why do i feel the sudden need to blog?
its been more than a week n ive got awesome news; i got my phone back! the kind soul who found it returned it to the police station in the same condition i lost it. and apparently, he's indian. wht would the world do without indians. =p
u noe many times we make decisions n sometimes u feel like ure not sure if u made the right one. i guess that happens many, many times. n when u do realise that it was a wrong decision u hv no choice but to wallow in regret for some time (but try hard not to show that u are) and suck it up thereafter.
ive personally learnt that there are some things worth crying over and most things not. i had prob one of the toughest few weeks in aust than all the other weeks combined. it was filled with soo much s*it, but to my surprise, i was able to tell myself "this will pass" soo much more easily than ever before in my past 21 yrs of existence. ive made wrong decisions, ive regretted and im still sucking it up but i feel that a few months down the road, this would mean nothing to me.
nothing at all.
