A new family

Okay, my stats have been shit. People have been coming in regularly to check but be disappointed to see no new posts. And with no new posts, I don't get audience either. So.... I shall now write a little something. What about exactly?

I think I shall blog about social life, shouldn't I? It's been a while. [because it's been non-existent]

They always tell me to make friends. They know I don't have many at school, I spend my lunches alone and the few friends I did hang out with are the ex's friends. So, yeah: make friends. Easy, right?

Wrong. It was difficult as hell. Like I'd said, I'm no longer in the same classes as my Sem 1 classmates, and since I repeated modules, I had to be placed in classes that had been together before, leaving me out of their circle. Okay, so, apart from my lovely Shihui and the occasional laughters with Loy and Aloysius, I hadn't had any other friends in school.

In the end, I had to resort to something new in order to socialise, and that was to retweet one of those "Retweet and I'll add you to this Whatsapp group!", give my number to a stranger called The Admin, and BOOM. You now have new friends.

A long time ago, I'd seen these things, and I thought they were super silly. Only after going through the experience firsthand, making new friends, meeting new people, did I know that whoever first thought of this is a genius.

I've met so many new friends, it's so amazing. Not only that, but these people are so awesome, in their own ways, each and every one. We've known each other only for, what, a few weeks, but it feels like we've been together for our whole lives. I feel like we're a family, and I'm glad that I'm not the first to mention this, and that they feel the same too.

Even the first time we met, it hadn't been awkward. We teased one another like siblings and laughed like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't remember the last time I'd laughed til my belly ached like that.

Maybe 2014 wouldn't be so bad after all. The start of something new, no? Yes, I remember how I'd lost a good friend the last time I said this, but hey. Think positive right? I think the new year has just begun, and I'm looking forward to spending every day of it with you people.

I still have problems finding out where home is, but for now, home is with you guys.
