Friday 11pm and I've just reached home from a long day of work and lesson at Somerset. Had been feeling like crying since morning when I woke up.
1 whole week of lacking of sleep due to those overweight elephants living upstairs + 3 whole months of accumulated stress.Reached home and just sat on the sofa. Accumulated stress and tiredness came crashing down. Even though Dar kept talking to me but I didn't want to reply . I just sat there and closed my eyes. Tears just roll down my cheeks. Dar had a fright that I can just cry like that.
He lends me his shoulder and I just cry and cry... silent tears.... he kept asking me what happened but I didn't say. Not that I don't want to tell him. Not that there is nothing to say.
I'm just scared that the moment I say it out, my tiredness and stress will become even more real.He finally managed to drag me away from the sofa and into the room to our red bean bag. I just sat there and didn't want to move. Dar keep asking me, want to bathe? Want to eat? Want to change into comfortable home clothing? I just keep shaking and nodding my head but still unwilling to move away from the bean bag.
I can see Dar was trying to calm me down and was scared that my asthma attack will come again. But I just didn't want to move from my comfort zone even though I've stopped crying. I told Dar and said if I move, my comfort zone will vanish and I won't find such a comfortable position on the bean bag anymore. He promised me he will maintain the shape of the bean bag so that it's still comfortable. I guess I just want to say that I am too tired; I don't want to move, talk or do anything.
But when I look at his face and the effort he put into encouraging me "Jia you~" when I'm on my way to class. And I've said something 过份when I replied him that even "Jia you" will not ease my tiredness, stress and unhappiness. I decided to relent but I still can't bring myself to stand up. Dar proceeded to carry me to our master bedroom. (And I'm not light at all~!) while he carried me, tears just flow out again. He was shocked when he saw that I was in tears again he said "I thought you stopped~~ don't cry anymore, your eyes are red and you got nose block".
So I just said "I'm tired..." and just started wailing like a little kid. He didn't say much but just hugged me and say "I know"... all the while patting me on my back. It feels great to be treated like a child. Sitting there while he waits on me hand and feet. (Guilty~~*)
I'm glad he is here. I'm lucky he stood by me and took my bad temper and mean words while giving me the support I needed. (Now he is trying to look over my shoulder to read what I am writing about him ;D)
I hope I can jia you. I hope I can be strong enough to go through next 2 months which are the toughest for me at work and at school.
Can I do it? Numerous times I've mention that I feel like quitting and becoming a housewife but yet felt glad that from someone who had never touched or studied accounting cept my current course, I can take up this job. Its an achievement for me.

How complicated it can be?
