everyone knows I'm in over my head
you know it's going to be a good day when you sister wakes up and sings
kueh pisang,
kueh pisang,
satu dua tiga empat
kueh pisang. she is 24 this year.
the rest of my Saturday went by smoothly enough; studying at Starbucks with Rizan as usual, followed by a movie, then a bottle of salsa and a bag of tortilla chips after we found ourselves in a car with Amri and my sister (as usual) driving to Lau Pa Sat and eating cockles, bbq-ed chicken and satay, as usual. they said they wanted to have a piggy-back race with us, and being the competitive freaks of nature that we are, Rizan picked me up and ran down the street, only to realise my sister and Amri had saboh-ed us, because they were just standing way behind laughing, looking at how clumsy and fast we went.
school starts again tomorrow. and you know what? I don't want to go back. it's always like this I realise. when I'm at home I don't want to go back to Jurong Island, but when I'm there I forget about everything else. on my journey to school I always try to delay and procrastinate, but once I reach SCI I feel like I belong. I wonder why. is it because I know home is too far away and I have to make do with the other side of the world? maybe school is a piece of heaven only when you're in it and you have no other place to go.
I can't believe it's March already. it means exams are in less than two months, the 3-months long holidays come after that. which means our freshman orientation camp is coming (I'm kinda excited about that. ohh the things we have in store for the average, insecure freshie) and after that, it's Year 2. our second year! dammit, I still feel like a kid running around campus without her brains intact half the time.
