tales from an ordinary world
2000-02-02
My high school's organizing a 10-year reunion for our year. Traditionally in all those US sit-coms, people get really nervous about them, thinking they need to play up their life since then, pretending they've become hugely successful. Personally I couldn't really give a damn - in hindsight, I'm a lot less bitter about school than perhaps I thought I might be. All those things that might've pissed me off at the time just don't seem to matter much these days - it's all part of life experienceTM. I'm curious to see what happened to one or two of them. I can't think of anybody in particular to whom I'd still hold a grudge about anything. It's all so long ago...
I've been walking around like it's my last day on earth. Everything seems distant, like I'm back in that damn bubble again. A quick breakfast (it was 11:30, and they didn't do lunch until midday), then a slow wander home to do all those final things, like trying to think of a witty message to put on my phone, then giving up and just doing a boring one. Ringing up Mavis in Singapore to wish her a happy birthday. Wondering how much stuff I really need to take. Re-dyeing my hair. Waiting to go...
So yeah. See you in the USA. Or something.
