Truly Soulfully Solitude

I'm now comfortably sitted on the cushioned seat at TCC @ Robinson Road waiting for darling to come back from his friend's birthday gathering. I was supposed to join him but backed out The thought of meeting up with so many strangers made the depths of my guts churn.

I know he really really hoped for me to go with him to meet his friends. But gatherings have always been highly stressful for me. More so if the gathering is filled with people I do not know...  =(

Anyhow, I'm quite comfortable now, holed up in my own world, doing things that I like. I've got lappy with me, so I can blog, watch episodes of Supernatural, plan for the year-end trip with my family... I even brought my Sudoku book in case I ran out of things to do. Truthfully speaking, I started out feeling kind of awkward, being in the cafe alone and all.. It does bring some stares. Everyone here has company. But now, I'm totally at ease doing my own stuff, listening to my favourite music. Who cares what other people think right? =P Isn't that what I used to do in the past? Whenever I get overly stressed from all the studying, I would, armed with a book or two, head down to a restaurant for a meal or to a cafe for a cuppa to pamper myself and to indulge in the moments of solitude. It's really nice to just sit and relax and watch time and the world go by without having to care for anything in the world, even if it is only for a couple of hours.

By the way, also accompnying me now is a slice half a slice (dear took a few bites before he left to his friend's) of matcha + red bean cake and a glass of sludgy frozen lychee tea. Mmmmm......~ =D
