first day of tingkat service since our maid left. haha it was quite cool la. when i got back by six plus or so the metal container containing the food was already in the kitchen- it looks a stack of like those circular bamboo dimsum bowls you find in chinese restaurants, only made of metal. the food is stored in different compartments in the container- pretty compact. it was actually quite tasty haha. egg, fish, veg and more. supposed to feed 5 people only- but when my grandparents, younger brother and i had eaten our share there was like, half of the food remaining ._. leftovers for tea tomorrow.
stayed back in school today to do work. gah, it's a struggle getting anything done at home with no room for myself- there's no other place other than the living room to do work in. grandparents using my room. brothers playing in their room. parents doing dontknowwhat in their room. maid's room? hmm, it's empty at the moment. but there's barely enough space there for the bed- i wonder how they actually fit the bed through the door- and no air con in there. and my mum complains there's a funny smell inside...LOL good job ida, whatever you did. filipino smell...wut. anyway. finished bio ee stuff by 2 or so, then had lunch with yaseer+kh. met mr azmi...LOL he was hilarious. one of the exercise HOPE balloons that'd been pinned on the SAC door had gotten lodged between the door and frame so the door couldn't close. the balloon didn't burst- and azmi was telling random sec 1s who walked past to burst the balloon. LOL their faces were...haha, amused. some sec 2 or 3 guy actually obeyed him and tried squeezing the balloon the get it to burst- to no avail. then azmi started complaining no one had the creativity to use his badge pin to pop it...anyway by that time i'd been embarassed enough with this funny man next to me and all the sec 1s giving the "wth" look whenever he called out to them as they walkede past, so i went off.
went to library, met weixiang there. did work- or tried to- till 5 when it closed (in between our friendly librarian Gleen popped by to say hi), then went to the astro where we met arthit. mm, the astro's a pretty terrible place to do work in the evening unless it's dark and all the cca people've gone back. couldn't focus much at all. tried to revise classical/keynesian theories that i missed out when i shut off during wte's lessons last year (his voice is monotone ultima. hehe no offence if you see this sirrr) but heck, the idiot curves didn't make sense at all. why AD or AS is straight sometimes and curved at other times. and arthit...LOL the way he does math. talk out loud when thinking about a question :P soon realized i wasn't going to get anything done so started to tan2 tian2 too. haha idk why i thought of those words all of a sudden- ah, just found out chinese B ISN'T changing syllabus this year -_- who was the one who told me it was. still don't think i'm going to retake it, lol. too painful to get a 6 again- i'd just die. was thinking about what kh asked me the day when i got my results- "why did you expect to score a 7?". rawr i guess he's right. i didn't put a whole ton of effort into chinese- and anyway i should be grateful for a 6. thankyou tj and the lot of you who helped me :) really. sigh, it's just painful to be fed the slightest hope that you'd get a 7- then not make it. but well, that's that.
met william- my old roommate in sec 2- just now. apparently they've raised the cutoff point for nus med again this year. 43 points, anyone? no kidding. he got exactly 43- and he's the type who started studying once he came back from school every day. hardwerking fella. :D must look up to him. LOL he was super funny in boarding school la. he'd actually sleep in his school uniform- so when he'd wake up the next morning, he'd just grab his bag and go off to school. awesome right....that wasn't a very good example for me to follow haha. then azmi'd come to our room and said one more time he caught william sleeping in his uniform he'd take him to buy pajamas. so he'd wait till azmi came and went then into his school u he hopped. boarding school days- haha sec 2-4 was really fun.
came back from school, realized i was dead tired. but that must not happen. workkkkk ): hard werk is needed this year. so i played a bit of modern warfare 2...wut. sorry, but it was fun. until the graphic card overheated and stalled my com. surrendered to fate and showered to wake self up. went into the kitchen to make some coffee- actually, i don't really know how to make any coffee other than the 3-in-1 powder type. used to drink one or two cups of that every night during eoys last year haha. i'd smuggled back 5 boxes of the G7 coffee from WoW and kept them in my drawer cause i'm not really supposed to take the stuff...well. sorry mum but this is ib ): actually kept drinking water last night to fill my bladder and feel the urge to go, so i wouldn't fall asleep and could read paddy clarke. mm the story is, sad. i think it's more of a bildungsroman than either sidd/hf- i'd say paddy matures the most out of the other two. huck finn matures in terms of deciding things for himself and choosing the better part in society- "emancipating himself from a cog in the machine of a corrupt society" (i think pt said something like that)- while siddhartha, as we all know is pretty much rubbish. as david would ask hermann hesse if he were alive, "what've you been smoking?" haha. i just lack the patience to read it. but, i think we all empathize better with paddy clarke a lot more than the other two part 3 texts- some parts were painful, and very realistic, from the perspective of a rather innocent young boy too.
anyway, strong digression. went into the kitchen to look for coffee packets since i'd run out from last year. couldn't find any. grandparents were in the kitchen-
grandma: what're you looking for?
me (thinks) *i'll tell her, and hope she doesn't tell my parents...*
me: coffee powder.
grandma comes up to me, waggles a finger in my face. gives one of those rare stern faces she gives.
grandma: you drink coffee at night!?
me (thinks) ...nuts.
haha grandpa was kinder- found me some nescafe which i mixed with some hot water and voila. left it in the oven to cool so my parents wouldn't see it if they came back. heehee it cooled down too slowly, so added some ice and washed up quick to get rid of the evidence. ugh, what ib does to you. and now i have a stomachache. great. and i feel like sleeping. greater. sigh i want so sleeeeeeeeeeeep ): but duty calls. haha on the bright side. i've never been as hardworking as this before :D well i guess if there's a time to get down to it, it's now.
watered the plants just now with my water bottle. haha reminds me of tj using our water bottles to water the class plants. then he jewed all the stick-on flowers to his new class...hmph. haha okay la. resourceful. anw, wasn't wearing glasses when my mum told me to change the water for some flowers in a vase. took hold of the vase, noticed there was no water inside. "wow, the flowers've drank up all the water. nice." removed the flowers, filled half of the vase with water, put the flowers back. suddenly my mum cries out. "STEWART WHAT ARE YOU DOING THOSE FLOWERS ARE'NT REAL!"
gg. she'd been talking about another vase of flowers next to that one- real flowers this time. sighhhhh she was laughing like mad. she must be thinking i'm mad. maybe i am. just noticed a little burn on my left index finger- i guess that very hot tripod stand i grabbed hold of for a second at the bio lab did cause some damage after all. wheeee i iz idiot. bah. household chores. no time/place to study at home ): probably going to study more or less every day in school or smth. once i get home, chores or bed call. regret wikipediaing so much during holidays instead of doing work. too bad. anyone wants to join me at schooool ): it's boring when you're alone.
