I had the best time today playing with Ms. Lauren's kittens, Maple and Dawn. Such frisky little things! Felt a tinge of nostalgic 2004 when I used to play with Pn. Azizah's kittens before class. I wonder if she's still alive. Funny thing is I remember her cats better than her face. Might've even gotten her name wrong.
Ahhh... back to Ms. Lauren, it felt so good sharing with someone what I've been doing for the past few weeks. In college, no one wants to hear anything but exams. It's almost taboo to not talk about how hard you've been studying. Likewise at home. It felt so, so good to finally release all those crazy ideas and have someone equally enthusiastic about them. Ms. Lauren has the sense of wonder of a 18 year-old. She's so beautiful you cannot imagine.
I also find it hard to believe I was sharing with my principal positive and negative observations of the many aspects college the solutions to rectify the latter. Our discussion was as smooth as butter and as warm as toast. (Later we would pinkie swear over text message to not succumb to midnight sugar cravings! )
Finally, shortly before Mother picked me up- we were about to get off the taxi when Ms. Lauren took a 50RM note and the driver said tonight was free.
It was free. Earlier Ms. Lauren mentioned tipping him heavily before and even asking him to bring along his young son and wife since he barely gets to see them from working for such long hours.
I'm tired, sleep time now. Thanks for everything, Laurie.
Happy Days Ahead,
Yau
