Quick Defrost is like trying to make friends in new place without a institute that keeps you together (education).
Well weekend here, I wake up about 2ish. Really bored and not knowing what today would have planned for me. I call my friend riyad in London just to chat, he recommends to go to city centre and explore. Through long discussion i guess it is a option, he says it self exploration i think its self destruction. Been in Leeds for 4 months now, but only seen the city centre once with Michael when he showed me when I first got here. I decide to walk as its only 10-15 mins away and also be less hassle without the car. Usually in London would only go westend with friends, or if on my jays would have something to buy. So this idea of exploring town on myself is bit different, but i guess it like when we go on holiday. Eventually i get into town and go to some shops, i end up buying few dvd's, because a massive sale at virgin mega store. Got some films that wanted to see ages ago and Bruce lee documentary. I guess this can be seen a shopping therapy. I play a guy at winning eleven 8 in games store, i draw with him but it was nice to play with someone and converse with a stranger. After walking for a while i get tired so decide to grab a coffee, i've had this all planned and have my book ready for this situation. Actually got 2 books on me. First one call the origin of love from my friend riyad, as he said would help me get over someone. Second book rich dad poor dad recommended by tien to get new idea's. I get a cafe mocha as cafe latte is getting really boring now. So i find a tall seat for 2 and take a sit. The place in filled with Chinese, many girl actually i think its only Chinese girls and the odd foreign person. So i bring out the book and start reading, i decide to read rich dad book as it doesn't look that sad. My brain uses 30% to read this book, but other 70% is feeling arkward as i have this feeling of being alone. Chinese people always talk about face, and being alone is a way of losing face. How many Chinese people do we see in coffee shop alone? Unless we are waiting for someone. I drink up and decide its time to walk home. Seeing people in town, realizing oriental people enjoy coffee shops and English enjoy pubs. Its gonna take longer to make those friends that you can click with, exactly like many things it cannot be rushed. Treasure those friends that you made throughout those years, because trust me they aint easy to replace. Final note for today, it must get better it cant get any worst.
