8 years

I met up with a couple of old friends yesterday. I've known these girls since we were 13, and hahah, holy crap, we've been friends for 8 years - I find that so hard to believe, to be honest! Our friendship hasn't had the smoothest of rides, with arguments, passive-aggressive behaviour, and drifting apart getting the best of us at times. I'm just glad I was able to see them after so long, and I take comfort in the fact that although a lot has changed, the essentials haven't. Hahah, okay, I'll stop being cheesy now. Aside from seeing the girls, I was reunited with roti banjir... no big deal (actually, no, it's a huge deal).

Fun fact: we all go to the same orthodontist in SS15. Shoutout to Dr Jagjit for fixing our crooked teeth!

Jess and I headed to her house (sort of) in Sunway to check on her dog for a while, and man, that pooch was cute. Her name is Momo and she was extremely friendly and adorable. :) After some time, we made our way to Bangsar because we wanted to check out lunch at Antipodean. Getting to Bangsar from Subang was surprisingly quick and easy, but finding a parking spot was a huge pain in the butt. We ended up parking at Bangsar Village II and walked from the car park to Antipodean, which was bustling and lively as the lunch crowd had taken over.

Choosing something from the huge menu was difficult, but I settled on the big breakfast, which consisted of scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, mushrooms, toast, and a hash brown. The serving was surprisingly big and satisfying!

Jess had the salmon marlborough something something HAHAH I can't remember what it was called but it tasted pretty good!

We got stuck in traffic on the way back to Subang, so of course, we had to take selfies. I'm only posting the most flattering one because we look hideous in the rest, hahah!

I'm glad we got to see each other, the 3 of us. It's been a long time and I've realised that I can't not be close to them, despite all the crap that has happened. I had a really good time and look forward to seeing them again before I leave for Tassie sometime in February. :')

Oddly enough, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and moped around the house with a cloud over my head. Sometimes you just get days where you feel... Off. Today was one of them, and it bothered me slightly more than usual because I've never had so many off days in a year as I have this year. I've lost count of the number of days where I just feel like lying on my bed and staring at the walls for the whole day, with little to no regard for anyone or anything else. Uni kept me on my feet for the most part, but now that I'm on holiday, I can actually just drape myself on the couch/bed and immerse myself in that dark, weird feeling that I can't shake off as easily as I used to. I took the K10 quiz (the Kessler psychological distress scale) on the Beyond Blue website earlier tonight, and my score was 34, which indicated a high level of distress. I snorted at the result, mostly because I'm in denial. The results page suggested that I see a GP but at this point in time, I don't want to do anything while I'm home because my parents would just fret. How do you even bring the topic up? "Hey mum and dad, I've been feeling worthless and mildly depressed for the past year or so, how about that?" Yeah, no. I've started writing in a journal again, which I've been told helps somewhat, and I'll see how things go. If nothing improves, well, I guess I'll go back to seeing the uni counsellors. 

ANYWAY, enough with my problems. My parents and I are heading to KL tomorrow for beef ball noodles, which I haven't had in about 3 years now. Wow. More noms to come!
