Crapppp

HI!
Actually I have no idea what to write about, but i thot i will talk some crap. =/ Blogger is lousy and the photo function is not working as it should so i haven been posting pictures for a very long time! In fact, I dunno what to post too!
School has been pretty boring. I also hope that I can wake up everyday and go back to sleep till the sun go down again. The satisfaction you get when you can peacefully return to sleep and not prepare for school early in the morning when you wake up ROCKS man. I usually only experience it on public holidays when my alarm stupidly rings as usual.
But no matter what, I still manage to bring myself to school every morning and i have remarkably been late only 1-2 times these few weeks. Yes its remarkable! You know how remarkable it is if you know how often i used to be late. Thanks to Leo's pressure (Thanks! i know she reads our blogs), mother's pressure, father's morning call and yt's morning call. And praise myself for somehow being able to wake up.
School is not totally boring. At least there are classmates and the long-awaited breaks everyday. But it just sucks when you know you have uncompleted tutorials for all the tutorials that day and you are going into tutorials copying answers or getting scolding from tutors. Argh,... its not like i am trying to be funny. It actually feels good to complete your tutorial and understand what is going on in class.
Sigh... time management time management... Not prioritising, cause obviously all subjects are equally important. Somehow i just have to reduce slacking and napping time and squeeze out all the completed tutorials. I KNOW i MUST.
And sometimes you feel so depressed that you hope you can stay at home and emo the whole day. -_- Especially when its not exactly only having happy times in school everytime. People may hurt you unknowingly, you may see something that makes you think of stuff and become sad for the whole day. Or you may feel demoralised with the sudden outbreak again. Damn irritating. Everything then somehow vrooom~! and concentrate into a damn heavy weight and aura that forces you to think:
mummy, i wanna go home.
Because home is the comfort zone for most of us. Lock yourself in the room. Sleep, read books, listen to music, eat. Basically just squandering time away.
At least we wont have to face the outside world, which can be so depressing at times.
=(
Anyway this year Chinese New Year was.. okay? But im quite happy with my angbao income. It could have been only a miserable $100+ sum, including the $50 from my parents. But I went to my brother's gf house for a buffet and initially thought that i will receive red packet maybe from their parents only. But obviously a buffet usually serves 10 or more people. In fact, there were their relatives and they happen to be awfully generous. Their red packet's common currency is $10, compared to $4/$6 from my family. I thought they would have only given me $4 at most... And surprisingly one packet contained $34 dollars. =) I was like an unplanned teenager there so many of them did not prepare red packet for me at first. I bet all of them were cursing me when they go home.
In any case, i was only a complete stranger to them, probably their brother's daughter's boyfriend's brother. And their children don't get any reimbursement cause my parents was not there.
It was a little paiseh but my bro's gf said many of them were 'haolian' people which sort of made me less guilty.
Hence, I received a grand total of $238 of angbao money till now. Hahaha. If you have receieved more than $500 plus and is smirking at the insignificant amount that I received, DAMN YOU i hope you share your joy with others. (such as me)
I don't really have anything urgent to buy. Had wanted to buy new shoes or bags... But they are expensive stuffs! I feel bad buying them, especially when my brother thinks my $35 t-shirt is expensive. I mean he thinks its REALLY expensive for a t-shirt. And my mother was saying how satisfied she was for buying this discounted shirt that looked pretty good at less than $20. (I just bought a shirt for $60)
I look like a super spendthrift compared to my thrifty family. Better cut down on my expenses, especially on material stuffs. I still need the ang bao money to bring my account balance up... So I think I will just settle with a new water bottle plus a new pair of shoes. =D
The third day of new year we went to zhexi's and jaryll's house to bai nian. I am so envious of their big and beautiful house... Zhexi's new two-storey terrace, jaryll's beautiful high-rise penthouse and not forgetting rifeng's three-storey terrace. I feel like an African refugee compared to them. =(
Saw zhexi's hamsters too. His are sapphire winterwhites i think, and they are as thin as zhexi. They are really fierce and fight hard. Now I think my robos were only playing. And my robos are still the cutest. Their big ears, long whiskers, huge watery eyes, innocent face and big butts undeniably make them the cutest breed of all hamsters =)
Anyway we went to watch Just Follow Law after that. The day before, my brother treated me to The Protégé. Both movies were nice. I thought Just Follow Law was not as funny as expected and there were some pretty boring and draggy parts. The Protégé was stimulating because it dealt with drugs. It was actually almost a horror film and not exactly suitable for watching on New Year.
But at least these were better choices then Norbit and Epic Movie. Getting ang bao money doesn't mean we have to WASTE it on such movies! Fyi, Norbit scored a 3/10 and Epic Movie scored 2.1/10 at IMDB. It may not be an accurate indicator, but I believe Letters from Iwo Jima will be an obvious better choice, considering that it scored 8.3/10.
But I don't admit watching stupid movies can be quite de-stressing at times, as long as they are not boring movies. Norbit, Big Momma House... for instance. But watching too much of such movies can be dangerous.
Look at Austin.

I think I will end here. Aren't you impressed at how good im at writing something out of nothing? =)
