Home Not-Sweet-Enough Home

So I'm on Easter break, and I've decided to catch a 2.5hr train and 3.5hr coach back home. I liked being on the train. It wasn't the first time I've been on a train, but I didn't have very pleasant memories of my first ever train ride. I still remember how I was travelling to the sea side via train, and there was this small child in the partition next to ours who would never stop crying. When we got off the train, I noticed that they had left a small plastic bag behind, so I was going to take the bag and tell them they'd left it behind. I was like, 6 or 7 then. My mother stopped me, letting me know that they had left the bag there on purpose. I later learnt that the child took a shit on the train and it was left in that plastic bag. No wonder my mother wouldn't let me touch it.

My tangent aside, I caught a train, this time with a much better experience, and I decided that I quite like travelling by train. Now I'm back down south, and it's much cooler. It's only been a month since I moved out, and I realise I actually miss this city immensely. I never appreciated how clean this place was, and how neat the roads were. My parents' house is also bigger and cleaner than I recall, and now I have this immense urge to find new accommodation when I go back to school. That will have to wait til next year, though. I simply don't have the effort or time to deal with moving.

Coming back, even if it's only been 4 weeks, I feel like I haven't left at all. I wake up and I realize I don't want to wake up, but my sister jumps on me and I have to get up anyway. She is so annoying. Quite insufferable. I look at her and I think that I never want children. My parents have yet to get on my nerves- but then again, it's only been one day. That friend of my father's who I keep on talking shit about, he's here. Sometimes I feel sorry for him--- he must be so lonely, to crash at our house so often. Then he opens his mouth at the dinner table and I stop feeling sorry for him.

Anyway, I won't have to put up with that. At least not tonight. I'm going out and catching up with my friends. Moving away from home has been nice, but I do miss my friends.
