People may have started wondering why I am alone most of the time in campus recently. Well, it dawn upon me (only two days ago) that I ENJOY GOING SOLO, be it studying in the library or medical museum, "zonking" out in front of the 'blue screens of death' in the computer labs....even lunching!

I find this change a little surprising, considering I tend to get bouts of "depression" whenever I am alone (for long periods) just a few months back. Crazy thoughts, you may think, but I found that by being a lone ranger, I am no longer "tied-down" by any sides nor confined to other's expectations. I can do whatever I want without worrying about what others may think, and be just how I want to be!

Not only do I like the way I am now, I am even embracing my new self!!

Before you jump into conclusions that I am turning anti-social, let me assure you that I am not. Of course I like to be surrounded by friends and people I am at ease with (heck, who doesn't?), but being unique individuals as we ALL ARE *ahem*, I happen to be one who likes solitude a little more than others.....so kindly respect that! =p

(WARNING: The following may be a little too much to your liking. Tread at your own peril.)

Speaking of respecting other's individuality.... ><"

A few people have recently misunderstood my need for solitude, and yes, they have started postulating on a few somewhat "absurd" ideas ( don't ask how I found out). Just to clarify a couple of things before they get worse:

1. I am not hanging out with you regularly anymore not because I HATE YOU. "Hate", for your information, is a very strong word. And no, I do NOT HATE anyone in campus. Dislike? Maybe a few, but definitely not to the extent of hate. Can't you see that I just want to be alone once in a while? What is SO DIFFICULT believing in that???

2. And because I do not hang out with you so much, that does not mean that I am trying to AVOID you....I am merely seeking solitude!

3. And now because you think I am avoiding you, you may have been conjuring up all sorts of ridiculous "Why-Yuen-has-been-avoiding-me" ideas. I really don't want to know what they are (though I'm guessing it's gonna revolve on the "she must hate me" kind....goodness, I'm seeing a vicious cycle here) , but let me reassure you that THEY ARE NOT TRUE!!!

So how many times must I emphasize that I like being alone before it finally nails into your heads??

Geez, I cannot believe that things can become soooooo complicated just by being quiet....

*douse raging fire with ice-cold water*

The library has become increasingly noisy in the last couple of days. Not from its "inhabitants" though - only a handful of students are utilizing it to begin with. The din actually came from the floor ABOVE the library. [To the uninitiated, IMU has begun its major 'face-lift' operation in the last week or two, in which a new floor (and roof) will be added on top of the existing architecture, and a brand new six-storey administration building will be built on the ground where the flag-poles currently are.]

Picture yourself, initially bursting with enthusiasm and energy, attempting to concentrate wholly on your "Anatomy of the precordium" lecture notes, whilst something above rumble and crash (literally with a Bang!) every three minutes....

Oh, and did I mention that the library floor also vibrates everytime something crash?

Heck, I'm now more preoccupied with morbid thoughts of ceilings and walls caving in (touch wood) than my CVS plenaries whenever I am in the library!!!

It is no longer an ideal place to be now, isn't it?

I guess I have to start finding another place where I can concentrate properly.... =(

*Voila* Another new layout, this time from 404-error of www.blogskins.com. Simply stunning, don't you think? Love the effects the artist used to create such an enigmatic yet eye-popping picture! =)

Still searching for the right piece for my background music. Already thought of one...a violin solo which was played in "The Village" by M. Night Shyamalan. Don't even know the name of that piece, so it's gonna be a wee bit difficult to search. Hehehe. This is gonna take a while....
