Back from everything!
Last update was 15 november. That is almost an entire month ago. Haha. Cool.
But i know it's not really cool because it is irritating to go to a blog that hasn't been updated in a long time. yes. bad michelle.
It feels like a long time since school ended. I think it's been 5 weeks. A lot of things have happened but it still feels like time has passed really fast. well, time flies when you're having fun!
Actually, i think that i subconsciously look forward to the year-end holidays ALL YEAR. Right from the first day of school. Even though i like going to school. It's just really exciting to be having school holidays because you can do almost anything you want! Provided you don't get over-ambitious right before the holidays and sign up for a whole bunch of lesson things that you might possibly regret when you realise you haven't left any time for bumming around the house.
But back to the subject of school . Sec 3 is over now. SEC 3 IS OVER NOW. It means that i will be in sec 4 next year. Man, i feel old. Is it just me or does anyone suddenly feel they're about to go over the hill??? I guess it does sound overly dramatic, but for someone like me who thought they would be forever 15 this is a big thing. But don't worry. I think i will grow out of it by year end.
I think it's time to reflect on the past 5 weeks of the holidays. Slightly more than half of the holidays have passed... so yes, this is a good time i think.
Week 1 and 2: Spent cleaning house, watching tv, reading and bumming around.
Week 3 and 4: Youth camp! and italian adventure (:
Week 5: Now (: To spend: Reading, cleaning, studying
I'm suddenly very happy now because i've been filled with all the happy memories i've had so far. This is nice. Reminds me of what Uncle Lee Hock taught us at youth camp; think of something happy right before you sit down for a lesson so that you'll be in a good mood to pay attention, and then you can study less at home because you've retained more. And i think it works! Cos right now, right before lessons or long speeches and things, we sit down dreading it and being unhappy. Which really doesn't help matters at all does it? So i guess being in the right frame of mind is important. This does seem very common-sensical. But most of the time we don't actually do these things unless someone tells us to. So i'm grateful.
I just got lots of books today when i went to taka. First i got the 2nd summer of the sisterhood and the food of love (which revolves around italian cooking. score!) with my kinokuniya book vouchers. Then i went to the library and saw that you can get a free pride and prejudice bookmark if you borrow 8 books. So i went in and borrowed 8 books. I have to admit it was largely because i wanted a Keira Knightley bookmark. But then i saw thay they had Shopaholic Ties the Knot and so i had a less guilty reason to go borrow books. In the end, they ran out of keira knightleys, but i got one of the male actor whose name i do not yet know but will soon because i wanna watch pride and prejudice. I considered going to the bookdrop round the back to return some of the random books i borrowed. But i figured that they might think all i wanted was the bookmark if i borrowed 8 books and returned 5 in the next 10 minutes.
Oh yeah i almost forgot. After 3 years, im finally done with my braces. It was kind of sad to take them off after 3 years because i've had them for so long, but kind of happy at the same time because there will be no more fuss and things. You can actually keep your braces but i decided not too because its a bit gross isn't it. But mostly, im not sure what i'll do with it. I can't possibly put it on display or keep it in a bottle by my bedside so i can kiss it goodnight right?
Time to go. I'm off to change my bedsheets (: More adventures await!
