shock me like an electric eel
So this weekend I finally broke out of my shitty holiday funk and went out. It felt so wonderful. After the week or so of whiling my time away on Neopets, analysing my dreams, making unexciting things in the kitchen and getting 14 hours of sleep every night, getting out of the house felt like a goddamn rebirth.
On Saturday my mom and I had lunch with her friend at this place near Arab Street. Their vegetarian kebabs were mindblowing. We went to Bali Lane afterwards and hung around at Heavenscene until we went off in the evening. I got to take a look at the flea while my mom stayed behind because she couldn't be bothered to brave the crowds. Later on we dropped by West Coast Park for a barbecue with the mother's group of fraaaanz. Soufi was there too :)
Yesterday some of my friends were selling their stuff at the Haji Lane flea so that was an excuse to spend my day in the area again. It was as sweaty as fleas go, but I feel good and fulfilled because I actually found myself something.
Today I had a lovely day out with my primary school friends at Kallang. It was the first time in a long while that I'd worn my scarf. I was surprised to find that the crippling self-consciousness I used to experience when I was covered up like that did not return with all the extra layers. It was also very comforting to be in the company of people who were a big part of all my six primary school years.
Life has been happy and pretty and wonderful the past few days and I feel thankful for the positivity.
