Last nite, I was at my friend's patio enjoying the BBQ and the fireworks, and having a great chat (u know the kind that u just felt soooo in same wave length and pace....)... :)
And funnily enuf today is one of the days where u feel u r sooo not in the same wave length wi some of the people u r hanging out wi..... lol...... hmmm...... makes me wonder if that is really the age gap or just the preference of the topics that you'd be be hoping to have on a breezy & lazy Sunday nite..... or may be it was really the lack of the common-ess of the topic, or may be its my lack of English conversing skills... (yup... Me speak No English-y!! lol....) or may be I'm just lacking the new-late 20's socialising skills..... (though I dun think, I'm that much older..... lol.....), or could be that I'm just wi the wrong crowd (?!?).....
Ummm.... I'm definitely NOT complaining... and am very grateful to some of the friends that I met here who's been nothing but sweet..... but somehow, I just dun know how to exactly put a finger to it, and explain exactly wot it is tonite..... >.<"
Well... as time goes by, I'm realising, one of the most fun yet challenging aspect starting out as a FOB (this is wot the Canadians call the new immigrants i.e. Fresh Off the Boat... lol....) is that you are no-longer in your comfort zone -- where u know u dun have to make a conscious effort to talk but just be completely urself cus u know it's REALLY OKAY and cus u know ur closest friends would understand u do need that lil time off, rite next to them......
Socialising or meeting new people is a very simple yet so complicated process, and tonite is one of those days, where I just hope I was in my comfort zone......
Yeah.... I'm a FOB.... having the FOB-Blues tonite..... So pls.... go easy on me....... ;)
