The thing i hate most about growing up, is that the 'grown-up' world is filled with uncertainties, challenges and people. Yes, new people. I'm not saying that people you meet in your childhood are the best n stuff... coz that is not true. i, for one, would know. But the wonderful thing about being a child is that you are usually unaware of such things. But one thing i realised, every stage i've been at, i would be disappointed because of the expectations i've had before.

When i was younger, i hoped everyday to be an older person. When i was in lower pri, i wished to be in upper pri, so my uniform is no longer a dorky blue dress with a white collar but a white shirt with a blue skirt. When i was in upper pri, i hated being 'too young' to go out (I'm still having that problem *rolls eyes*) so i wanted to be 12 thinking i would have more freedom. I suppose it didn't work out smoothly either. Hahaha! When i was about 12 or 13, i was a dork, i read a lot and had little friends. so i wished i was 16. Being 16 was like the goal of teenagehood. Young, pretty, sweet and sixteen. Buuuuut, when i reached 16, it was just.... u know... like that. Nothing spectacular, nothing wonderful. Just plain old life.

So after the 16 year old mark, i wished to be 18. So i could drive. Not like that makes a difference. Sigh~ My parents have this image that i would crash my car the moment i drive it out of my house (or maybe even in my house) and its so argh! Btw, this is the stage i'm stuck at so yea.. When i blew the candles on my cake last year, i was like "So this is it huh... 18... 'wow' 'whoopee!' " I'm 19 now... and life still seems... the same? Other than the fact that i'm taller, fatter etc etc... yeap, still same...

OKay... i was being cynical. I can't say i have not changed at all. I have changed most in the last 2 and a half years of my life. Which is since coming here. I won't say its a good thing but it is definitely not a bad thing. Being here, seeing all the shit that people go through does make you wonder. Being so sheltered in a mouse hole like Brunei where the biggest event is a gambling den (meaning: a house where about 4 or 8 people are playing majong in their own free time) being infiltrated, i guess you don't really see much. Within my first year, a lot of my perspectives changed. Some for the worse, some for the better i suppose. i become more acceptable to things. Things that would have shocked me or made me react in the past are now "Oh is it. i see..." to me. (Well, most of them, not all! i still hear some shockers sometimes).

One of the worst things about these shockers, is that it sometimes is not the problem of A's friend who's friends with B who's friends with C. It happens to someone close to you, someone you actually care about and that's when you can really see what goes on. And it sucks! Another bad thing... ha ha... is that it no longer falls into the category of 'someone else's problem' but it can also become your own problem. Someway, somehow, at some point, you yourself get caught into this tangled web called 'The Messier Part Of Life'. And when you're in it, it sucks shit. Hahaha! Well, i guess all this is a part of being alive. As people grow up, they are bound to meet up with life's challenges and disappointments. But these challenges are nothing compared to having the people around you.

Friends.

Just how much do you trust a friend. Well, i'm the sucker type. I'm the type that can trust a friend with my life if i had to but i have had experiences where friendship is not a pretty bed of roses. So what is a person supposed to do? Do i act oblivious, pretend that everything is all perfect and shit. Or should i confront, and get either a positive result or end up losing a friend. I'm a self-declared chicken. i hate confrontations. I know i'm not the most perfect friend. i know for a fact i have said or done things which are unspoken for and i am really sorry. Maybe its just me. Maybe my repressed self is a perfectionist where i expect perfection in my life. And when i don't get it, i make believe that it is perfect. Regarding trust issues, i'm really baffled... For most people, the hierarchy is Family -> Boyfriend -> Best Friends. Although most are not willing to admit it. I admit i do that do although i'm trying to minimize it coz i know that's bad. But how much can you trust the people in these 3 category?

Family, can be excluded i suppose. Unless you have dysfunctional family members, i guess they are the ones you should trust most. Then boyfriends. i know its unheard of. How could you put him ahead of all your friends. After all, you did meet your friends first. But then, the truth is, once you have a bf, you do end up spending more time with him than w your friends. it doesn't mean that you won't abandon him for your friends if you need to... its just that when everything is in neutral... you would most likely spend time with him.

What about best friends? You say you trust them with your life. But do you? For me, i do. I would trust my friends with my life. So i guess im better living in my make-believe perfect world when it comes to life =)
