I just noticed that I posted the last entry on Christmas. So for the first time in my life I spent my Christmas away from Kuching, away from family and old friends. I'm not sure if it's something I want to do again, but I have a feeling that this is gonna a regular occurrence in the future. Sigh.

The I-Miss-Camp bug bit me again this afternoon. I keep logging on to Facebook just to look for pictures and updates from friends, to smile at the crazy photos we took etc etc. And today when I went for my jazz camp, my friend parked his car at the carpark near Darby Park, the one which we always walked through every morning on our way to DFP. And then of course I walked down that familiar path through the KLCC park again. And when we had our lunch break it just felt funny, going for lunch again at KLCC, trying to find a place to sit at the food court. I just don't know how to explain it; everything was so familiar yet so different.

For all that I wrote/complained about in my last post, I realised that I actually miss a lot about camp, especially the company of friends and all the time we spent together. If only things could be like the past, where we could put aside our differences/reservations/opinions, and just get along together as one big group. As the Tribe. But then again, as I mentioned before, times have changed. I guess we all know each other a little too well now.

But it's alright, next camp, I'm gonna try make things work for everyone. I'll see how long I'll last.

Ah, back to reality. I've got to go to One Utama pretty soon for yet another Christmas gig. And then it's more practice in preparation for tomorrow's camp sessions.

When all of this is over, I'm gonna take a really long nap.
