I have come to realize that insensitive things said behind your back hurt more than when they are actually said right to your face. I wish people will just say such things directly to me instead of saying them when I'm not around. Let's just say I feel very let down and disappointed at what had happened. Ah well. I guess everywhere you go, people are bound to talk behind your back.
The weather has become colder..no more Singapore-like weather of the past week. It's very much air-con weather now, or perhaps even colder. Ah...why has summer gone by and why has fall come so quickly? I still want to soak up the sun!
Anyway, I've kind of forgotten about the time difference between here and Asia. When my brother came online in the morning yesterday (or last night in Singapore), I was wondering why he was online in the morning when he was supposed to have been in school, before realizing that it was night over there. And then as I was talking to my cousin online before dinner, she suddenly told me she had to go because of school. It took me a moment before realizing that it was already morning in Bangkok. Guess I still have to get used to the time difference huh.
The huge time difference (whether it's 11 or 12 hours) is just another clear reminder that I'm really very far away from my family and everyone else back home. Even though my watch may read the same time, but it's actually not the same time at all. When it is day here, it is night over there. And when it is day over there, it is night here. Which just goes to show that here and there are really 2 different places, and that I am leading a completely different, if not opposite, life from the people there.
Well, I just want to wish my brother an early Happy Birthday (over here, even though over there, it is already his birthday). All the best for your exams coming up!
And finally, as the weekend nears, New York beckons! The initial excitement, which I had felt when I realized that I was actually going to New York and watching the US Open, has sort of died down a bit. But I'm sure I will get pumped up and excited all over again. Only Jessica and I will be traveling there this time, so I really hope we don't get lost or anything. Haha.
