see how fast I bounce back up.

what a nice relaxing Monday. I am finally done with my presentations. the only thing left to do is to execute them, before they execute us. isn't it funny how I can think of spontaneous things that are just, so, amusing?

I'm bored now. I have an interview with a discipline mistress in 2 hours and I'm scared shit because DMs always terrify me. why did we have to pick solving the bullying problem in secondary schools as our topic? let those sorry dweebs get picked on for all I care. life is tough. it's good that they learn right in secondary school first, because it's always good to start young.

I thought I'd dread this week like I dread visits to the dentist, but as it turns out things are pretty okay for now. I only have 2 essays and 2 quizzes to go, and before you know it it's hello Kuala Lumpur, hello engaged 19 year old Australian cousin who had to get married to a Malaysian and make all her Singaporean relatives drive up to witness the engagement. sweet.

I'm trying to think of a way to get out of Monday's lectures, but because Cherian has smartly inserted a quiz in the morning, it's almost impossible to skip school. I feel like I NEED to be back by 7 to have one last meal with my family before Hari Raya arrives. it's a tradition I've loved and gotten used to, and it'd be a shame to not be there with them this year just because I live on Jurong Island.

speaking of Hari Raya, I finally settled on a kebaya last Sunday. when you're desperate and lazy, you always find it easier to shop. desperation made me so much more decisive, I was almost a man.

also, I'd like to mention that I had a hair appointment on Sunday to tame the dog on my head, but my better self told me to stay at home and help my parents paint their hopeless room. so that's exactly what I did, and I must admit I'm pretty happy with the result, although I only painted 1/4 of a wall. on some days I am the epitome of filial responsibility. National Education has taught me well.
