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

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....
