Rambling

3 weeks in my new organisation and my worst nitemare came true..
before i started working, all i can think of are d nicest things about d uni n d environment.. sadly, d 1 thing i doubt came true...

"there'll b allocation of rooms for all d academic staff, 1 room each"
pros: more privacy, no disturbance, enjoy all d spaces n make it your own 'nest', no distraction, can have all d concentration i always long for (i can 'smell' repetition-- to be frank, there's only 1 advantage)
cons: too lonely (very contradict, i thought i prefer privacy), don't get to approach other colleagues (basically, there's only 1 issue-friendLESS!!!!!)

how can i not able to make 1 (O-N-E) friend after 21 days???
remember my entry on my encounter wif kamparians, i was very optimistic then but not for now, in d future too (giving up)...

was kinda upset on my 3rd or 4th day (i forgot) coz i was 'chased' away for using d public computer as d 'real' lecturers need them to key in d students' marks.. y on earth was i chased when there r still 2 or 3 not reserved computers in d room, y me? there was another newly recruited staff...

back to d friendLESS issue, would u mind if u sit in an empty cafetaria n eat by yourself?? it neva happened to me before til i get here, i ate alone in 1 big cafetaria-it's d upset-est feeling eva...

i thought i can cope d loneliness as it has been well under control for d past few years.. it shouldnt occur coz i neva have any special 1 whom i share every single thing (happy, excited, gloomy, depressed) happened.. yes, no doubt i hav my parents and friends but they wud b sick of my long-winded manner.. i thought i wud be strong enough to stand on my feet, face d society and tell them 'being single at 24 is not a sin', apparently i myself think it's an offence now after being questioned so many times and d recent ones by my landlady n d bus drivers...

i reminded myself to b patient, i'll have to tahan, endure all d obstacles, tried very hard to suppress my homesickness, lonesomeness etc etc (did not call home once n complain unlike d previous job whereby i called home very often to cry n complain)...
unfortunately, i couldnt take it anymore, there's a limit in everything..........

y m i not heard/seen, i hav been invisible since secondary years, it's as if people couldnt c or hear me, i know i'm not outstanding and do not have d ability to put words in order and b humourous/likeable, plus d physically unappealing factor caused me to feel 'smal' (not literally).. it is by conincidence planted in me, so i carry myself in a not-convincing manner every where i go.. dats my biggest hindrance (c, i know my weak point but do not know how to get rid of it, or perhaps it takes time)..

p/s: i hate fridays, wif no companion, no task i wish to b home... but kinda sick of travelling... i wish to go jalan-jalan, it has been 2 long months since i last do my shopping as in window shopping, catch up wif my gf, watch movies, try some new food, shoes, bajus etc etc...................
yearning for my living-in-ukm/gombak-days, at least i know how to move around by bus, taxi and train or friends who are kind enuff to drive me, here is totally d opposite-neva get out of my housing and uni area before.. hating myself again for not being able to drive.....................

pp/s: told ya i m long-winded.. once i start complaining, it takes time to stop..

Dear Christina,

Don't say that you're not seen or heard. At least you have some long lasting friend around you.

I saw you still go out with the groupies at least you are still invited and being in the crowd.

No point being in the centre of attention yet you still feel empty inside there.

I understand your current situation. It is the scariest thing to be alone. Just like one of the movie. "I am Legend" We all wouldn't want to be like that. But at times we got no choice.

I realise when we grow up our circle will be more niche. Just like me. I learn to accept it.

You might find me chilling around with lotsa people. but deep down. I am feeling lonely too.

probably, it takes sometime to make friend in this kind of situation...don't worry I have faith you would be able to mix around well after sometime...after all, it is just a starting, not yet even start teaching and mixing up...how to know people around you...rite...

i think you are not the only feeling so...

so don't worry, be happy~
