Silence & Serenity

And so the Foundation exams had ended. Most of the Foundation students in my house had already left for their holiday and all there’s left is us Degree students. I’m not complaining though, I love this empty house. It reminds me of January last year, before the entire ruckus caused by the May intake students started.

Yesterday, in a ditch effort to get myself to study, I moved from my room to the living room at sat outside to study. It works surprisingly, maybe because I wasn’t in my full-of-distractions room. I sat there happily for 3hours I think? 1 of which was to online using next door’s wireless connection (the one in my house wasn’t in the mood to let us go online T^T)

The house was quiet and serene. It was so peaceful! The last time that happened was January when nobody was back yet and I came back early for Orientation. I was chatting with my housemates while some other housemates were moving her stuff.

Aren’t you going to sleep?

Can’t, with them moving their stuff up and down, how can I? It’s so noisy.

You really like silence, don’t you?

It hit me. I like silence. I like a quiet space but somehow I don’t like the library. I like a quiet space where I can make noise all by myself. In another words, you can say that I like being home alone or being alone in a place. It makes me feel comfortable and I can be myself. Even being in the car alone, you can see a big difference in behavior compared to when I have passengers.

I like quiet places and also silence. But hey, I’m one of the loudest, most noisiest people you’ll ever meet! Haha!
