| may day may has always been a special month of the year, not only because i grow (a lot) older, but also because i often re-establish the fact that i have groups of friends around me whom i should cherish. may day, never the same. for some reasons, i always think of my ssgc friends back in hk - the cheese cakes cakes they baked for me and the wide eyed ms woo staring at us from outside the classroom (cough cough). the candles brightened up the enthusiastic faces surrounding the cake as every one sang happy birthday - i remember - it was a rainy day. i kept telling myself not to be nostalgic about everything because people change and things change. i have always been moaning about how much i miss my friends from home and how i do not fit into this different environment. always. yet nothing really changed my mind because i am still myself and i am stupid and selfish to not notice that people around me in this school also care about me - we study, we sing, we streak (ok, may be not), we sleep on the beach on a super windy and foggy day, we dance, we bitch, we stalk, we eat, we run, we hide (in closets), we trick (by putting shoes into the fridge), we laugh, we cry ... this may day, i was thrown into the pool (literally, picked up and the next second i was sailing through the air), twice - despite the fact that i am actually really kind of heavy. we laid under the sun with pool water steaming around us. moreover, i was given numerous amount of surprises on that day (dude, they came into my room at 12 mid night and scattered a pile of shredded colored paper on me, i was not quite awake by then). this may day is different. thanks you all. |
