Happy CNY to all. Or happy CNY eve to all. I can never tell when is the real CNY or the eve because it kind of feels like any other day (except there is no school) since my family doesn't celebrate it. Yep, no reunion dinner, no visits, no CNY snacks, no angpaos (which means no extra money). Basically this is just a 4-days break from school for me to complete some stuff I didn't get to do in the past 5 weeks of school. Which means mountains of work. Okay I exaggerated but really, there's quite a lot. I should be kind of glad (like I always do in the past years) that I don't have any visits or dinner to attend to but really, this year feels different. I feel like my life is such a bore, it's more like surviving then living. I can remember myself wishing to go back to Hong Kong to celebrate CNY (big event huh) for the past 13 years but of course, a wish remains a wish and I'm still stuck here. But then again, if I was invited to any visits, I'll probably get sick of it and rather stay home. I'm so problematic.

Anyway, the past week was a really tiring one.

Monday was spent waiting for school to end.

Tuesday was the same except that I went to gym and completed 4.19km in 30 minutes at a speed of 9.1 on the treadmill (improvement). And also judging a girl who went into the gym with hair untied and did only 10+ sit ups and leg raises before leaving. No work completed by the end of the day.

Wednesday was blah blah blah but there was bowling and before that, Janice and I went to parkway to pick up some stuff (finally got something good -I think- for my mortal). Highest score for bowling in the first game: 139. Pure luck because I was the last in the second game.

Thursday was really tough. Kept dozing off during physics. Ended off with mass PE which made my day slightly better. Ran 7 (or 8 rounds) with Rachel. Still on my way to doing 2.4km in 13min (or under).

Friday was great considering there was no econs so my 4.15pm day became 1.45pm instead. Had only PE and math that day (Friday is really a waste of my time with only 3 lessons and tons of free periods). Got back my math test and passed (phew). Method marks ftw! And also realized I should really buck up because people are doing so much better now (pressurizing). Braved through the rain to lunch with Rachel, shi hui and yirong at KFC. Had such a good time laughing because yirong is just so cute. One thing that calls for a celebration: Contributed to the class whatsapp chat for the first time last night [see attached screenshots photos of the convo because I couldn't attach the screenshots on mobile]. Call me a wallflower.

Saturday (which is today) was okay so far. Woke up at 2pm and lunch at tampines. Saw cute marimo balls, which I loved since young, but parents didn't allow me to get them. I thought you weren't supposed to reject anyone during CNY. Got myself Koi's hazelnut milk tea (enjoying it now) to make up for it. Couldn't get foolscap pads from Popular because it's closed so I'll have to make do with school foolscap for my tutorials. And there was the rain so I couldn't go for a swim. So far CNY has been great.
