sister blister (the good kind)
the Brady Bunch trudged down to NTU to witness my sister's graduation today. I've never seen her this happy. I think not even a wedding day would make her smile so much. because there are only 2 Malay students in her graduating class, you could obviously tell my family stood out so much. for one thing we had an aunt come along, because eversince Sis was young my aunt told my mum she'd wish to see her niece graduate someday. so tralala we invited her as well. and since my family is naturally loud, we caught everybody's eye everywhere we went.
that is something I'll never be proud of.
as usual we took alotta pictures. my sister had this radiant glow the entire time, and I'm amazed for such a small head she has pretty big brains. that mortar board she was wearing was fugly! it's no wonder graduates like to throw theirs in the air after the convocation, ho ho. don't ask me how it feels like to have one on my head, though I'm pretty sure if you ask the rest of my family they'd be able to let you know, because they've alllll tried on my sister's graduation gown. the person who looked the silliest was my dad.
I noticed how easy-going and friendly the graduating SCI students were. I have a good feeling about my own batch. it's very comforting to see so much of yourself in other people, especially those you don't know. hopefully in four years' time I'll feel the same way about NTU, the way my sister does. they say SCI is kinda like an elitist school, but surely they didn't mean it the bad way (is there even a good way?) honestly I don't want to read too much into this. we should all give our new schools a chance.
if you must hate, hate on the second day.
today's been very long and tiring for me. and as each day passes I have lesser time with friends, family and myself. once school starts I know life won't be as easy, but perhaps it's better that way. I've been living far too indulgently for my own good. this long holiday has been generous to a fault. I cannot wait to pick myself up again and start getting my life back on track. watch me go right now.
