Reality

It's exactly 4:44am. Here I am in my room, having my laptop as my only source of illumination in this dark room. Everything is so still at the moment. I could hear my seashells chime on top of my head. I could hear John Rae's fan from the other room. Unbelievably, our three dogs are absolutely quiet today.

Today, reality sets in for me, my family, Rej, and most likely Rej's friends as well. I guess they have made so much impact in my life that I feel so affected that they have gone back to where they should really be. I went around the house a while ago. I can't help but imagine how Bajji and Tsende used to slump in the couch watching TV, how Rej used to sit behind them to use his laptop. Then, Tash...Tash comes to the picture asking Rej for permission to use the laptop so she could either upload the pics or message her Ted. Seng San is often in my room either contemplating on something or maybe resting. Thiu, my fishee, on the other hand is either scouting for tea or he could be upstairs watching a movie from his laptop or chatting with someone. Timothy... how could I ever forget that guy who has probably become more hopeless watching me eat sweet foods! *hahaha* Timothy is usually in the kitchen preparing bitter herbs or curry for dinner, if not, he's with the gang in front of the TV, doing some crazy antics and making everybody laugh.

Sadly, beginning today, I will no longer see their shadows in this house. Today, I will face life again. The only difference I guess is that I've gained a different perspective in how I see it and the influence of these people on me will definitely take a toll on me. This day of moving on will really be marked with change, change, and yeah...more changes.

I will forever be grateful to the Lord for this opportunity to meet people of different personalities. Although part of the sad reality was the parting of ways, I could never deny the fact that meeting them was really the best part of it. Life goes on. We meet people, enjoy their company, and eventually let go. But nothing could ever change the fact, that my life turned around that day I met my brother's friends....
