Winter worries

Hello there... Winter term holidays for people up here in the UK! A time when the weather gets cold enough that people begin to eagerly question "will it snow tomorrow?". A time when your flat/course mates pack up,pretend that going home is going to be awful,but once their parents/boyfriends/etc arrive,they give em a big hug and u just know they're happy. A time when sales are everywhere! n eventhough u don't celebrate xmas,all those cliche xmas movies prove to have an ounce of truth. And then u suddenly think of Puasa, Raya,or even just meals together back at home in Brunei, and you see ur friends all chatting/bickering away with family about to bring em home.you smile quietly,and watch them go,one by one.u watch as the halls gets emptier,bigger almost.u walk back to your room,feeling some relief that it's finally quiet,n u can get some of that work n reading done.5 minutes of useless reading,n u look outside ur door.listen for the sound of footsteps.no one,u r alone.n for 3 weeks.u go online,hope for familiar *virtual* faces.n there they are.some family,old friends,and perhaps a loved one.loyal people of my life.when the world lets u down,they won't.
