Saturday, May 3

"Jie.." Dad calls. (Jie is what my parents call me. Chinese word for "sister"-to those who are too out of contact with chinese after two years of chineseless lessons to make the link.)


Me: Grunts

Dad: Jie...

Me: hmm?

Dad: Jie...

Me: What?

Dad: Jie!

Me: What LA!!! (losing patience)

Dad: Turn around and look at my toe!

Me: (*STUN) Huh?

I turn and look at the toe my dad specifically stuck out towards me.


Me: What's wrong with it?

Dad: Help me check if got blood.

Me: !!! *Peers carefully at that stinky big toe* No...no blood...

Dad: Okay good. Just now a can dropped on my toe so I scared got blood la...


Dad smiles at me triumphantly, as if he just told me the biggest secret ever. And then he turns back to watch his soccer match-Man U VS Westham! ( I realised that dad's expression looked slightly moodier when he saw that the score was 3-1 to United at 30 plus minutes...Probably betted wrongly)


Anyway, that's not my main point. The weirdness of his questions is something we all know already, by now. The point Im trying to make is-How lazy can my dad get?? Just how difficult is it to bend your bend towards yourself and have a good look at the state of your own big toe? And he HAD to keep calling and calling me until I turned and craned my neck just to observe the condition of his toe.



My sister experienced her first night in her new room, without me to accompany her. Needless to say, it wasnt a comfortable night for her and she could hardly fall asleep under such circumstances until it was quite late into the night. Whereas I had totally no trouble sleeping at all!



It would have been sweet if the reason for her insomnia was because I wasnt by her side and she couldnt sleep without her dear sister accompanying her. Alas! That was not so. The real reason was-The bed was too hot due to the uncomfortable bedsheet material! Over at my room I could hear her thumping about on her bed (with irritation I would expect) and then getting off her bed to pace about her room. Thankfully, although the weather was just as hot and humid over at my side, my bed was relatively cooler and obviously it was no feat for me to drift off into Dreamland.



Once again, this proves that my hypothesis (the grass is not always greener on the other side) is correct.




College Day was a total waste of time. I felt like I was squandering my already limited and precious time away by just going to school for a mere hour just to sit in the newly renovated LT5, now called Ngee Ann Kongsi. Some weird name indeed.


AND the weather is just freaking HOT. The weather was so warm and humid that I was in a rather grouchy mood. It didnt help much that I was seeing red everywhere. I mean literally. With all that red ties and the red seats in the LT5, one simply cannot help but feel his blood pressure rising under such extreme heat.



Got so bored with waiting that I ended up practising telling the Heaven's Coin story in sign language again. It striked me that I still cannot tell the whole story in sign language yet. But nevermind, I shall persevere.



I still have one and a quarter episode of Heaven's Coin more to go. Don't really want it to end though. Watching Kazuki and Mahiru's love can just be so bittersweet. It almost makes you think that love can make you overcome any obstacle.



I always seem to be siding with the supporting characters instead. Like how I'd rather Ah Feng go with Ah cheng, I would rather see Mahiru with Hiroto instead. Mahiru with Kazuki seems so like a perfect couple. Happy together, caring towards each other and always thinking about the other person's feelings. It just seems so surreal. So unrealistic.



Oh the other hand, Mahiru with Hiroto actually seem more perfect in the sense that their relationship is more real, something that you can expect to see in daily lives. Their playful banters with each other, and how they can open up and share their thoughts to each other...how they don't always agree with each other. This is the sort of relationship that lasts. Unlike the other, whereby Mahiru practically idolises Kazuki!



Okay, but the above is merely my own opinion though. Supporters of Kazuki-Dont slam me for saying that!


Went to dine at Prince with Jessica and Sheena just now. I think I've been overspending. What's that Econs term for it? Oh yes, disavings. I've been spending more than my allowance recently and even have to dig into past savings to maintain my expenditure! This is not a good sign....



Number of Days left to Common Test: 11!


Oh My God.



OFF.
