Reunions, Rethoughts
Just as i wrote about reunions and how i am with regards towards them a few posts ago, i’ll be attending not one but TWO this coming week. And i look like crap! Die lar, die lar.
The first one this Sunday will be with a ‘cheh cheh’ (big sister figure, although I’m the bigger one now) who migrated to Australia and whom i haven’t seen a while now. We’ve been corresponding through Facebook (so it does have its purposes) for abit and wants to meet up with me during her trip back here for CNY.
What problem? Face problem..
The second reunion on the 5th will be a little less personal as the people I’ll be meeting were my fellow librarians back in school. And some seniors and juniors who i hardly know in the mix. These are the ones I’m more nervous about, it’s like it’s expected of me to be something great by now plus i wasn’t very much of a leader then (or not, since losing my power.. I’ve become very unneeded).
I’m a reserved person. But that’s not me.
I was very desperately saying how much i loved going for reunions but I’m having second thoughts now. Not so much of whether i should go or not but but… darn. I AM afraid of going now; afraid I’ll disappoint or scare some people (i am known to do this very well :X). As i said before, no chance of showing off either, haven’t lost enough hair to become Donald Trump-like, yet. 
Bah, who cares whether i have face, hair and everything else problems? So what if i can’t brag about all that hair loss or money made. And how does it matter if i didn’t get any better since the last time i saw them?
I do, that’s bad and darn!
Unrelated: This weird yam dish covered in hardened melted sugar (they dip it in cold water while the sugar’s hot in front of you) is good
Unrelated again: Happy Belated 21st Birthday to my neighbour, Revathi and farewell when you leave for Australia.
THE END
p.s. Plus they might all speak Chinese and leave me out of their conversations!
p.s.p.s. Oh, and i’m broke too. Must cari wang now.

Reunions are meant for people to meet up with each other. Try not to take it as a beauty contest. I don’t anything is gonna stop talking even if u can’t smile

I had the same feeling on my first reunion. With a little planning you may find yourself as cool as you used to.
Mine was emotionally fulfilling. Cant wait for the next.

I will be having a gathering with my primary school classmates this coming CNY. I dont feel worry but cant wait to catch up with them instead. No worries about meeting people. Dress up in a presentable style and put a smile on your face. That’s it. Dont worry too much about apprearance or anything. People likes you for who you are not how you look. Enjoy! Cheers!

*Thinking of the food* Haha, thank you all for reassuring me about this. Yea, i guess i should concentrate on the socializing part and not the other unimportant ’stuff’. After all, I don’t expect THEM to be all that different when we meet up (i would be “ARGH!” if they were though :P). So i guess it works the other way round too.
Problem is, i care! :X And there might be potential Valentine’s Day targets there (my motives are getting wrong, aren’t they?). And the only emotional fulfillment i might end up with is some form of depression.
I heard stress causes more acne to appear, better chill before i make it worse for myself. Okay checklist - Plan, dress presentably, think of stuff to say, make up some interesting stories.. XD
BYE! *smiles and waves* Thank you all once again, wish me the best of luck! I’ll let you guys know how it turns out the moment it’s over.
p.s. I’m waiting for Ang Pow. Facial mahal la.. XD And once i start, i’ll have to continue lest it gets worse.
p.s.p.s. I wouldn’t mind if people actually liked me because of the way i look.

Hmmmm…I never thought that anyone would have this problem. I love to meet my friends and yeah dressing matters the most but I love to go out and shop to look ‘ok’ la. Don’t worry coz most of the topic are more about our HISTORY or ‘So, How are you now?’.. About the V’Day part, take it easy, girls don’t like guys who rush in a relationship. Anyway, all the best and don’t worry too much.

Haha, i’ll be the first then!
Yea, maybe i’m just imagining things; that they’d ask me lots of questions about my life that i wouldn’t dare answer or something like that. Nope, i’m not rushing.. *pant pant* LOL! Not that i have any persons in mind to rush at.
BYE! Thanks for the comment! Haven’t seen you around lately.

think of it this way, at least you are not an unmarried girl. There’s pressure seeing relatives if you are still unmarried by the age of 25, you know
no need to cari wang, your ang pao collection time coming soon what!

Oh ya, i completely forgot about angpows! Yay, no need to worry about money.. for a while. XD I think it’ll go bye bye very soon and it won’t even be my fault.
Uhh, okay.. so that’s one thing i can’t deny. I do however get pressurized about my studies, my weight and my achievements. My uncles and aunts keep comparing me with my cousins. It’s horrible i tell you, takes all the fun out of Chinese New Year and other reunions.
BYE! And thanks for commenting again!
