What triggered this post is this Thai movie called "A Crazy Little Thing called Love". It's a Thai movie and it's available on Youtube. Go watch if you haven't!! It's quite good, even though the middle is a bit draggy but I stayed on cus the male and female lead are super good looking! The plot has the same theme like 那些年 but I like it more cus I can connect to the female protagonist better!
Anyway the movie set me thinking about my secondary/JC school days. Think I have been in a "reminiscing phase" for a few weeks already. I keep wanting to relive my Korea exchange days recently. Maybe it's cus of work... and impending full time work next year... Work ties me down and I yearn for freedom that exchange offered me >:( I know it's impossible to relive those days but I yearn for it so much it makes me sad. So I was saying to L that Korea is an ex-boyfriend that I'm trying to forget but I keep getting reminded of those happy days together. Today's movie exacerbated my situation.
Those secondary school days were glorious. My best partner in crime was Munling, probably cus both of us didn't want to go home early. My parents had just re-launched their careers and spent majority of their time at work. During sec1/2, there would be no one home when I returned home from school, so I had all the freedom to stay back in school for useless stuffs. I was very interested in participating in class mgmt stuffs, so ML and I often stayed back to decorate the class to try to win awards/prepare for homecoming. If not, we would go with half of the class to hang out in compass point. We acted like we had all the time in the world. We would call each other for long hours. I would just sit on the floor, holding the corded phone and talk about god-knows-what to ML for about like 2 hours? Who knows what we could talk about for so long? & I had the phone numbers of the gang of friends at the back of my mind. It was also trendy to have a blog! I remembered I always wanted to have blog but I was so so so scared of getting judged and people laughing at what I said. I only had the courage to create a blog in sec3!! Oh, how self conscious I was. I'm glad I did cus now I can always look back at how I thought :)
I really want to relive those days. I don't want to think about adult stuffs cus it makes me stressed. I still want to be a teenager with no responsibilities. But... I know it's impossible, so I'm just hoping this phase would pass soon.
Does anyone feel the same way?
p/s I might blog more about the past, bear with me :/
