Yaawwnnnnn

All work and no play for the next few weeks. Well, actually work and play just no exercising or proper chill time. Boo.

Debating whether I should go to the annual traditional tailgate... Or just chill at home like a good hermit again.

The other day I dreamt I was visiting my childhood home in Taiwan again, and passed by our neighbor childhood friend's place. Every time I have this dream, I would try to visit but they would never be home. Woke up wondering where they at now, those random people I met in my life and was once close to.

As a 10-year-old wee doremish, I used to have to be tutored in French while the other students went to Ethics class (ohhh just occurred to me, this explains a lot). There used to be a teacher that would just chill around with us 3-4 kids trying to converse with us in French to help us speak it better.

My tutor was Réjean. Réjean was probably close to retiring and looked like Santa, smelled like too much cigarettes and coffee, and was the most patient person ever. He taught me to play chess, which I remember being ok at, but forgot now how to play. I never managed to beat him though... We solved the most puzzles, chatted, and he even came to my rescue when the cafeteria supervisor lady for some reason started telling at me (I was in tears). I looked forward to what I called in my mind Réjean-time. After I changed school I wrote him (addressed to the school) proud letters of how my marks improved and he would reply with encouragements.

Since I suck at keeping in touch, I eventually stopped writing. I have no idea where he is at, how he is, and normally don't remember anything about him except occasionally, like now, I am reminded of someone special like that and wish that they are happy.

Huh. Sentimental.
