being anti-social.


Initially I wanted to put up one single picture representative of my trip, but I realized that is impossible. We took a grand 2500 photos...and everything seems like a precious memory and it's too hard to pinpoint any one picture. I considered the awe-inspiring view of Mount Fuji, but that seems a bit too cliche. So there you have it, a picture of the backview of a duck. Seems to me rather appropriate for what I've been feeling lately...I've been turning my back on the world, get it? ...

Yes. I've been in hiding. At home. From everyone. Since returning from the trip I've felt like this...this feeling of not wanting to talk to or meet anyone, of not wanting to do anything. As a result...I have not done anything. Except laze around the house the whole day, reading books and manga. And once I start reading, I cannot stop. I must always finish before I go to bed. So I have been going to bed at unearthly hours of 4, 5 am. Yes, my poor eyebags are now a permanent feature of my face.

After my frugal lifestyle of staying at home and doing nothing for almost two weeks, two days of social activity have succeeded in depleting me of the allowance I managed to save. Sigh. I should just stay at home and do nothing, seriously. Going out leaves me so tired, makes me feel compelled to eat more, and makes me spend money at whim. I should not go out.

Char has informed me that her mum says I may go to stay with them in Taiwan! And I recall that I may redeem my Krisflyer miles. Which essentially means, free accommodation and free plane ticket. How can I not go?! I shall ask mummy tomorrow. I think I can spare another week for travelling, no?
