Post CNY

Chinese New Year flew by so quickly. One blink and it s half gone. This year s CNY feels slightly different. Not sure whether it s because my mother didnt spam the radio with CNY songs or it s because too few people went back to grandma s house to celebrate. Maybe it all plays a part. Gambling hasnt been 're nao'. It s always the same people at the table, losing money to the banker. At least i profitted this year overall. Won about 50 bucks total in the gambling den. Does this mark the start of a lucky year for me? I definitely hope so..

Had a totally new experience of CNY celeb at CJ. Had a concert that was funny and engaging. And ran around finding the pizza man with Edmund when everyone else were about to 'lao yu sheng'. In the end rushed back in time but couldnt stick one hand in and toss the thing. The table was too small and there was a shortage of chopsticks. Anyway, there was a pizza yam seng with my three quarter eaten piece and everyone else were staring at us. Then spent some time in the IR (classroom) before leaving for some soccer at CCAB. Played average, left early, bathed and joined the class at cine pool. Only had a game with Sean and Kazu combined and closed shop. Went to the arcade and was chased out by the person in charge coz some of us were wearing sch uni. Gave up and went to food court to slack. Left soon after. Class outing 3 wasnt that successful huh. Too many people pang sehed. Sian.

Went to Malaysia on the fourth day which is Saturday for some visiting. Started off about 11 plus and reached there about 4. Major jam at Malacca all over the place. Finally managed to visit father s house and found out Eldest Uncle was in ICU. Went to GH to visit him. Condition quite bad. Despite that, we still had dinner at a restaurant and left for Singapore at around 10 plus. Finally ended the day of travelling at about 2. Quite a crappy day considering i spent about 8 hours on the road.

After the 4 day holiday, it s back to sch again. Realised i was a bit off paced for the work. Had been slacking the whole holiday until the last day. With the fatigue building i really need another break. Had another outing on Tue. Watched CJ7 at cine. This time it s pretty successful. More people went and the movie was ok. Not wonderful, but not bad. Quite funny and sad at some times. After that, there was some discussion about going out for dinner or sth. But some wanted to go here, some wanted to go there, in the end all went home.

Managed to survived through lectures and tutorials these days, but just barely. Havent been really paying full attention like what i did at the start. Really, the fatigue is snowballing, i can feel it now, and i need my bed soon. Must learn to solve this problem before the real curriculum begins.

V Day was something new yesterday, havent really celebrated it in my entire 10 years in school. Actually had gifts that i would only get for Children s Day. Remember those days..

JAE results coming out on Tue, heard it will be a half day for CJ. All da best to myself and you peeps out there. Signing off.
