Everyone's Just In Their Own World

It was Hui Ling's birthday on 7th May, Tuesday. So Tracy and I planned a surprise for her. This was our plan.

HUI LING'S SURPRISE PLAN (8th May 2013)
I planned to stay back at college with Hui Ling and a few others to practice for our singing competition (for those of you who don't know, I managed to enter the finals. YAY!) The rest of them will pretend to leave college. Then I'll bring Hui Ling to the cafe to eat and let the rest of them get ready for the surprise on the 5th floor of my college. Wee Ping and Sinwan would rush to Domino's Pizza to get pizzas. Then once everything's set up at the 5th floor, one of them should text me. This is where I'll tell Hui Ling let's practice our singing at the 5th floor. She would be surprised alright. Not knowing a single thing about this plan.

UNFORTUNATELY, something went wrong on that day. Wee Ping was feeling uncomfortable and Sook Ching went off just like that to the bank because she wanted to change her ATM card's pin number. Well, I wouldn't blame them. So I decided to just forget about the surprise and just bring her to Jusco for a lunch together. This is where things start to go haywire.

They seem to be okay with the plan. So we left college and walked there. Once we have reached there, we walked around aimlessly, not knowing where to have our lunch. Some were already frowning. I did not know why. Too hungry maybe? Or maybe they're tired of walking? I seriously have no idea.

So, we separated into 2 groups after walking around for about 10 minutes. Hui Ling, Tracy, Chun Hang, Wee Ping and I were in a group whereas the others are in another. We thought they went off to eat without us. So, we didn't bother. We decided to have our lunch at Kim Gary Restaurant.


As we were walking to the restaurant, Yoey called me. They said they were at KFC the entire time. So, goodbye to Kim Gary. We headed to KFC. Some wanted McDonald's and some wanted KFC. We didn't want to separate simply because we want to eat together with Hui Ling. It was hard to choose between these two.

I bet everyone has faced this before. So we ended up at KFC because there weren't any seats nor tables left at McDonald's. Guess what? We bought McDonald's and brought them to KFC. HAHAHAHA! We're like criminals. Oh well.


Once we're done eating we stood outside of KFC deciding where to go next. I mean where can we go already, there's nothing there at Jusco. Wanna go shopping in the supermarket? LOL. Chun Hang was sort of in a hurry. He left. We decided to walk to MPH. Some of them did except for me, Wee Ping, Tracy and Hui Ling. We wandered around the mall. Then we stopped by at the children's arcade. They were wondering why does everyone looks so sad and emotional? Well, I did too. Why the sad face? I didn't care. I didn't want to know. It's not because I don't care. It's because I know it won't be a good thing. So I went and buy two tokens and played DDR, short for Dance Dance Revolution. This game reminds me of high school.

Then, we walked to MPH to meet up with the rest. It turned out that most of them had already went home. So we met up with the rest and walked around again until one by one they went home. Everyone seems to dislike everyone. Why? 

Well, months ago when we all first met, we were the craziest people in our college. Hanging out in a big number. A gang. Laughing, making jokes, teasing, crapping, talking, going home together, coming to college together. We used to have so much fun time TOGETHER, as a group. A big group.

Now, some prefer to be alone. Some, prefer to hang out with the ones they like. This big group of ours has been divided into smaller groups. We used to be a family.

We used to talk everyday on Whatsapp. Spamming one another in the group. Now, the group in Whatsapp barely exists. I know. This is how college life should be. I shouldn't be ranting so much. I just have to learn how to be more independent. 

This has lead me to why I would say that everyone's just in their own world. I'm not Professor Xavier but I'm pretty sure everyone is in their own world. No doubts.
