Goodbye, Holidays
The semester break is coming to an end soon. Just a few more days, and it's back to uni again. I can just see it... an endless routine of lectures, tutorials and whatnot.
The good thing is, I'll get to see my friends more often.
The bad thing is, we'll probably be too busy to do anything fun.
The worse thing is, the previous semester may have ended.. but the conflicts have not.
Whee.
The other good thing is, I won't be doing any English papers this coming semester. I did so horrendously in the first semester that I feel quite dishearted at the thought of facing another English paper.
The better thing is, I'll be doing a Comparative Literature paper about folktales, which seems quite interesting.
So.. what have I been doing in the past three weeks? I sorta had a list.. but I totally forgot about it. How typical of me, eh?
Here, I shall attempt to recount the things I did during the holidays... (Not in chronological order, seeing as how my brain's wires are all jumbled up.)
There was that shopping trip I had with Jackie, in which my bank account screams bloody murder. I remembered calling her the night before. She was so tired from working that I could hear the fatigue in her voice. She had a very unenthusiastic sounding "yay" when I reassured her we would go shopping. It was fun, but I swore to myself I wouldn't shop anymore for the next few months anyway... but broke that promise just a few days ago. Sob! I have no self-control..
Then, there was Simon's birthday dinner... when I accidentally stirred up some trouble. I have to admit... I wasn't being the brightest bulb in the bunch, but honestly! Don't just assume I know stuff, because I'm a very clueless person at times. And I'm dreadfully forgetful, so it's hard for me to remember so many things, especially things as stupid as that. Geez. At least the food wasn't half bad.
Secondly, I went to the Art Gallery for the Art & the 60's Exhibition.
Went to have yum cha with Jackie, Adrian and Edwin. Finally, yum cha! Didn't have plates of egg tarts like we usually do, though. There weren't any when we asked. Hmm, wonder if it's to do with the fact that Colin's not around, and that it's Colin who's obsessed with egg tarts? Lol! After that, we went to the new shopping mall, Sylvia Park, which was so darn boring that we left within 30 minutes. Watched Ju-on with Jackie and Adrian in Jackie's place... Is it freaky that both Jackie and I think Toshio is absolutely adorable? Hehe. I don't quite get the ending, though. Does it just mean it will never, ever end? That it just gets reborn? *confused* Or maybe I just have to watch the sequels...
I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with John, who had a day off from work... which is not so much 'lucky' for me than it being well-planned, seeing as how I almost have to make an appointment in advance. Bleh. The movie was fantastic, although I wish it had a better ending. Not gonna say what it is, in case anyone hasn't watched it. Watch out for characters from the first movie! And also for the Cantonese speaking pirate! Haha..
Just went ice skating on Wednesday night. It was a night of to- and fro-ing. Jackie and Adrian came to my place first to pick me and John for dinner. After dinner, Jackie suggested ice skating, so we went back to my place to find out the skating rink's session times and location. Ice skating was painful but fun. At least this time I ventured across the middle of the rink, rather than staying at the edges pitifully like the previous time. I fell down a grand total of 5 times, and have a tiny bruise on my right palm to show for it. Then, we decided to go Momo's, but I wanted to have a change of clothes after sweating while ice skating (yes, I put that much energy into ice skating), so we went back to my place again. We arrived at Momo's, which was darn busy for a Wednesday night, so we went to Easyway instead. Easyway has disgusting Strawberry Milk Tea... I still prefer Momo's. They do have yummy taro and chocolate pudding, which I enjoyed but Jackie hated. Chocolate makes me smile, hehe! After that, Adrian had to drop me home... So, Adrian drove up the narrow driveway leading to my house a total of 4 times in one night!
Hmm... anything else? That's it, I suppose. I spent the past few days downloading the anime, Ouran High School Host Club, which is so darn hilarious that I'm hooked onto it! (Damn.. so not a good time to get addicted to anything.. Uni starts soon!) I really like Honey with his bunny, Bun-Bun. "Haru-chan! Haru-chan!" So cuuuuute. And Mori, who at the few occasions when he does speak, mostly mutters one- or two-syllable words. So far, I've downloaded 11 episodes of the anime. Would have downloaded more... but we're subscribed to a 5 GB plan, which I'm about to exceed. So would have to wait till Sunday before I can download more. Whee!!
So, that's a 'summary' of what I did this holiday. Hope everyone had a great time, and for you people who are still having holidays while I start uni, I have one thing to say: "Damn you, you lucky person!"
