it's already september. and you know what's different about being back in malaysia?
the lack of seasons.
with spring, everything looks brighter. you start looking for your thin jackets and all the colours and flowers come out. everything is optimistic, the world is your oyster.
in the summer, you feel a little wild and daring. you wear the crazy clothes and contemplate doing all kinds of things. summer is when you want to fall in love or embark on some crazy adventure. you lose your inhibitions - it's the holidays and it's too bloody hot to be that stuffy.
when fall comes, you're filled with some sadness and regret. regret for whatever stupid things you did during your crazy summer, regret that you didn't do more stupid things. and you think things over while watching the leaves fall. everything is brown and yellow and melancholy.
winter finally arrives with a vengeance. you hate the cold and you're tired of shivering all the time. you get extremely lazy and sleep in all the time. you eat like crazy : ribs, lamb, potato, cheese and soups. and when the snow comes, everything feels magical and sleepy.
what has all this taught us, boys and girls?
having no seasons means everything is flat. the weather doesn't dictate the new beginnings and the wind and colours doesn't fill us with new hope. it means that september is here and i've felt nothing at all since january.
i wasted january and february at home, moping. march and april and may i've spent flirting with boys and doing no work at my new job. june and july was spent being intensely in love. by august was too emotionally tired from either bulan puase, job or life and now it's september - i'm gonna need something stronger than coffee in the morning to wriggle my way out of this funk.
wake up, sayang. life is passing you by. are you gonna let it?
