getting tired of stuff

School's been okay these days. Nothing big happening.
But I do wish that I get to bond more with my other classmates I guess.

My IDMI is in a fix now too.
We can't seem to think of any ideas.

Next week is filled with tests.
Thanks to Mr Ken to postponed our Lit test!!! :D

Sigh... school seems never-ending and tiring.
Somehow, I wish that I have half a million dollars so that I can quit school, start up a business, and then start earning bucks to support myself.
And maybe, be like that Facebook guy. ;)

CNY

Chinese New Year has been pretty much okay, with a few occasional hiccups here and there though basically okay :D

The eve of CNY was spent with half day at school. There were all really slack lessons, which made the day even better. Afterwards, I met up with some kellyxians to eat lunch. We were just wasting time outside the library until we decided where to go. Soon, we made our way to NEX. It was basically a lot of fun. We were just wandering with empty stomachs and then we just randomly decided to eat at Mad Jack. There were a lot of problems with the orders!! I was really just trying to keep a straight face. The food and cards helped :D :D After eating, we wandered around somemore. Pam said that she wanted to go to Skypark, so up we went. Halfway through, I found a shorter route. And apparently we left Pamela with Xuhua gleefully..... FORGETTING THAT ALVIN WAS WITH THEM. hahaha!!! We were all like 'shit, alvin sure kill us.' LOL. We took another way and wanted to see the DOGSSSS, but the staff were washing the cages so we couldnt see them D: Finally, we made our way to the skypark and met pamela there. Got scolded by the security saying that the playground was only for children ages 5 to 12. LOLOLOLOLOL. we didnt even realised that! haha! Afterwards, we slacked a while and then went back home :)

There was a reunion dinner with my paternal relatives that night. The dinner was awesome as usual with a huge spread cooked by the maid. :)
We played Blackjack with chips after wards. I was initially losing a lot until I had the least money among the rest. However, once I had no more small change and I bet a 50, I won - A BLACKJACK! hahah! so I got twice in returns!!!! I actually got back more than my original value.
After that, I just kept winning quite moderately :) There was once when I got blackjack FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. :D :D :D awesome right.
we played poker after that. was quite tired around that time.
I guess I bonded more with my cousins :)

Day 1 of CNY
Went to maternal grandma's house. Ate a very delicious lunch there and chatted and the cousins for a while.
They got kind of hooked on the whole eyeliner thing, so they were going around putting eyeliner on everyone -.- My dress has a spot there so I was kinda upset at first. But I managed to make it go away :D :D
Then went to my paternal grandma's house. Played bridge with my cousins. Then a really really cute 2 / 3 year old cousin boy came jumping into the room and interrupted our game. He was superbly cute! And his pants were falling off.
He was trying to 'magic' away the cards and we just took some while he was playing mahjong with them. Slowly, he realised they were gone, and he was genuinely surprised i think.
Before they left, my uncle asked the cute cousin (Darren i think his name was) whom he thought was the prettiest sister. He pointed to my cousin who was wearing a really long and elegant dress. When asked why, he replied, "SEXY." HAHAHA. imagine! out of all the answers, a three year old boy replies 'SEXY'. lolololololol!!!
Afterwards, we went home and ate dinner and watched movie marathon :D

Day 2 of CNY
My family went to an uncle's bungalow. WOWOW. big o.o
It felt kind of boring there as there wasnt really anyone to talk to and I was just reading my own book, you know.
They do have a lot of goodies though! :D :D
When we were leaving, I saw some DHS scouts performing lion dance at a bungalow for some people. They initially looked like professional performers, with the truck and everything! It was a funny surprise and I saw Mr Chin! haha!
Made our way to my maternal grandma's house. Ate dinner there and played cards with my cousins.
I lost money this time round D: We played with real coins!!!
I think that I'm better off playing chips!

Day 3 of CNY
Went to Katong Shopping Centre and karaoke-d at TeoHeng! :D
There were too many people I think so there was not enough time for everybody to finish their songs. But I think that I sang quite a lot. Mainly because I know a lot of english songs, heh.
Then went to my auntie's house where we had dinner at a hawker centre-like place.
We then went to her place. We played Blackjack and Monopoly Deal.
We tried to play the sparklers but it didnt work!!!! :( :(
Was very reluctant to go back home D:

--
Day 4 of CNY was mainly consisted of slacking at home and finishing up of homeworks, hehe. x)

--
Day 5 of CNY was the day we had the celebration in DHS.
I think that I bonded a lot with 3K during the fiesta thingy I think. It was really quite fun, especially lao-ing the yusheng! It was really very messy. But in the end, no one wanted to eat it, haha!
There was a karaoke thingy being played all the while. With a lot of Zhou Jie Lun's songs, LOL!

After that, I met up kellyxians again.
There were quite little people today. We ended up buying from KFC and eating at Macs, haha!
We made our way to Xuhua's house. Initially we had like 10 plus people, but then they all slowly left while on the way to Xuhua's house. D:<
At xuhua's house, I was quite amazed by his humongous terrapin.
I learnt how to play mahjong :D
And we played monopoly deal and also blackjack.
The nerf guns were shooting ammos around once in a while too.
Overall, it was just like a 'playing in Xuhua's house' kind of gathering. But it was fun too! :D

Finally finished my CNY post.
I had physics test today and I personally thought that I did well for my MCQ part, but then apparently Ms Lim says no, so I still hoping for the best.
I was supposed to present LA Montage today too, but then all the groups took a lot of time. So we will present next week. Grr and we rushed last night. But not bad. We managed to finish our montage in 2 days! :D
Haiz. I shall pon tomorrow's history lecture. Really tired right now. Good night :)

looking forward

I haven't been posting for a while...
I guess I am still in the midst of getting used to school life after all that slacking and waking up late during the school holidays. Those were the times, man.
But I think that 3K is slightly better now I guess :) I mean, we are bonding more... but we are still sticking to our same cliques. And basically most of the cliques are based on sitting arrangements. So what I guess is that when our sitting arrangement changes, we would get closer :D

CNY deco was really quite fail I guess, in terms of cooperation and helping out. Apparently, the CNY deco comm was SUPPOSED to be in charge of it, but then they just left it as it is. And in the end, mostly Beatriz, Huiyi, Elaine and those few ended up helping. And we are not even in the CNY comm, lol -.-
Schoolwork lately has been quite good. With projects done, I think that the homework have become more manageable. :)
But then there is the LA Montage. I have really no idea why but I think that my group is really quite ineffective. We already had an idea for the theme Happiness, and all that we had to do were to take pictures according to the already written ideas. But somehow, we always manage to sidetrack and digress. And I would just be standing there feeling just really bored and irritated. Somehow I get the feeling that Jonit feels that too? But I'm not sure. ._. So now I think that the whole project would just be really screwed up. I planned on bringing my camera today so that I can get this done quickly and over with. BUT I FORGOT. zzz. So in the end, we spent a lot of time just... wasting time, yeah. -.- Thats what I PERSONALLY feel. I mean, if this was a solo project, I would be able to do it faster, and easier.
That's why I kinda of hate group projects.

Went to rivervale plaza tonight to buy some CNY stuff.
There were ALOT of people just 'milling around'(<-learnt this through compre test :P). It was really quite crazy especially at the 'hot spots'. My dad said that it was because the past few days were always raining, so everyone took the opportunity to come out tonight since the weather was great.
We got to borrow discs. It was really just a lucky and happy surprise that I saw 'The Social Network' sitting there on the shelf. I was ecstatic as I really wanted to catch that show :D There were many other shows as well. There's the Doctor Parnasses' Magical Emporium, which I borrowed :)
While waiting at the NTUC, there was a woman who asked me to help her look after her trolley. My dad hurriedly said that he couldnt be sure if he would be able to look after because we were leaving soon. The woman said okay, then went off. My mum soon came and we needed to go, but the woman wasnt back yet. And I just felt really guilty that I left the woman's trolley there.
This reminded me of the countless times where I felt like I should have done something, but I didn't. Like just random strangers there who seemed like they needed the help. But I was always in a rush to go somewhere whenever I see them, so there is always this enormous guilt just building up inside of me. I always have a soft spot for elderly people, especially those who have this 'kind' look on their face. :(

Sigh... whatever.
I am looking forward to Chinese New Year though! :D
And just to wish y'all:  新年快乐,恭喜发财!
