8 Months. It's been 8 months since I've even touched this blog and when I opened the front page and looked at the nice, clean colors, I always wonder why I ever switched when I wanted to get back on the blogosphere. You live and you learn, I guess.
So far, 2015 hasn't been the most awesome year that I've prayed it would be. I've gained weight, I haven't played basketball in over 3 or 4 months and I haven't really lived up to any of the new year's resolutions I made this year.
But I recently got back to training Jiu Jitsu so I got that going for me which is nice. *insert that forrest gump meme*.
I had my 2 week mid term holidays last week and I spent the first week in singapore. And it was...... BORING. Well, I did buy a guitar (should've bought a ukelele) and met up with some high school friends. And none of those things would've happened if it weren't for some coincidences and luck. I dreaded the next week for fear of having absolutely nothing to do so I made a decision then and there, after much thinking of course.
I decided to go back to Jakarta, while my high school friends were still there before they all up and leave back to the US. And I didn't really feel like it at the time, but going back was one of the best decisions I've made this year.
My parents weren't going to be in Jakarta the whole time I was there so that was a bummer. But that meant I could go out everyday and eat WHATEVER I WANT. I invited some friends over, went out with them and bought some beers, went up to the roof of my house and just hung out. And no, I'm not talking about some nice balcony where you're supposed to sit, I mean climb up to the roof like Assassin's Creed shit and hang out there!
It was a memorable night. So was the entire time I was in Jakarta.
I went back to my school, GMIS. Walked the halls that I use to run around in as a kid. The same halls where I would awkwardly try to talk to my crushes, the same canteen where I would slurp the heavenly goodness that is, Indomie and the very same gym where I fell in love with basketball. Hell, most of the juniors that I know now are because I played ball with them when I was a senior. It's funny how fast those juniors grow up, their voices are deeper, they're all taller than me but I still beat them playing basketball. I guess some things never change.
But the highlight of the trip was definitely getting to see my old high school friends again. I mean, I've met some of them already since high school finished, but I never really got to meet all of them together at once. It was good, we talked about school, university, old friends, new friends, future plans etc. It was only when I got back when I realised what a great 5 days it had been and how I regret not going back sooner.
I'm not the kind of guy who has buttloads of friends but the friends that I DO have, they're almost like family to me.
