The Grass Is Much Greener?

There was recently a new student in Damansara Jaya. She's now in 2 Belian.

Whenever I look at her, I always try to read her mind and find out what she is thinking.
It's her first time here in Dj, just like me.
Was she scared? Shy? Keeping her true colours to herself?
What was she truly like?

My friends and I introduced ourselves to her and invited her to hang out with us during recess. She was very shy and she didn't say much but the process of getting to know each other is just at the beginning. It takes time to be friends. We asked her a few questions to get to know her, she didn't say much though.

First impressions.
I hate it when people judge other people by what they see. Inner beauty is so much more important. Personalities is what makes a person original and beautiful.
It got me thinking, what were people's first impressions of me? What did they think of me the first time they saw me?
Did they judge me by how I looked?

"Ohmagod, she looks like a total nerd," ?
"Nah, she's too quite. So not our kind," ?
"She's so ugly, we should avoid her!" ???

Do things need to be like this?

I try my best not to judge the new girl in Dj because, I know how she feels. Trying to blend in with everybody else in the school is not that easy.
You gotta introduce yourself all over again.
You gotta gain people's trusts all over again.
So it's basically, YOU, doing everything, all over again.

I remember my first day in Dj. I was very lonely. Sandra was there to introduce me to new people, but I still felt very lonely. I guess it was just me missing my friends in Maluri. I cried that night in front of my papa, saying I hated shifting schools and that everything was a bad idea. He told me to be patient and maybe I will start to like the school and everyone in it.

I gave Dj a shot and now, I am having so much fun. Being myself and not posing as somebody else made me gain more friends in Dj. I feel happier now.

I've never told anyone this side of my story, so I just decided to blog about it. I felt like letting people know how I felt at the starting of the year and how I feel now.

I'm on the other side of the world. (:
