k i'm finally updating! woo!
she walks down orchard road on a saturday afternoon - busybusybusy - yet all she feels is the sheer emptiness of being alone even more so than when she sits all alone at the park. why? it's all relative...comparison is a curse and a plague. you see, images evoke emotion - seeing the neverending flow of company down orchard road raises her awareness of her own lack of company.
orchard road is used interchangably with temasek hall when possible and my room is my park..a haven. TH is usually bustling with friends and activities, trust me i don't lack it. but beneath everything, if you're looking at the deeper friendships and the more meaningful relationships, the emptiness surfaces.
and sitting in the comm hall having dinner with your friends, you can suddenly feel very very alone.
but then again it's been only a month. i do think i'll make more friend and form deeper bonds. right now i'm grateful for the friends i've made! really! someone once told me the grass is much greener on the other side, but from where i'm standing, my side seems just right. =)
