CNY's Eve...
I wish I could think of a better title, but nope, nothing interesting came into my brain. 'Chu Xi' - aka New Year's Eve is today. Had my reunion dinner at my 3rd Uncle's house. Coincidentally, my 3rd uncle was playing the Bee Gee's tour DVD, and it was quite significant to me. The Bee Gees were my Dad's favourite... he would always sing (albeit unsuccessfully) to the tune of the Bee Gees while driving me to and fro places. Somehow the tunes have stuck with me. So certain songs -- I realised I could identify them. Yeah ...
My ma's over at Kuala Lumpur now, so it's now just my bro, sis and me at home. Very boring. Especially when your siblings are like older than you by 7, 10 years. They'd have their own programmes... and thus here I am, rotting away in front of the screen and moping about not spending my cny eve in a more happening way. Sheesh. I got my ang baos though, so that kinda shut me up :)
Before the reunion dinner, I went back to dhs. Saw many many teachers I knew, but only talked to Ms Fang, because most of them were having lessons. I had a strange feeling that we weren't really welcome. (Quite irritating actually, to have a large crowd pacing the corridors) So I just spoke to Ms Fang alone... didn't really dare to disturb the rest. The funniest thing was that we bumped into Mr. Kiw (twice) -- he was giving that weird look, and then as realization dawned upon him that we were his ex-students, he critiqued our appearance. His standards of a proper appearance are known to be very high, so I guess I wasn't really bothered by what he said. After all, I knew I wasn't going too far. At least I still looked like I was practising self discipline -- My skirt wasn't short, I wasn't wearing ankle socks, My shirt was tucked in (not all the way, but nonetheless it wasn't hanging out) -- so I didn't let him bother me :)
Saw many people... and I kind of felt... for the first time in these few months, at ease. Guess I have to tide over these 2 years, finish my A levels, and scram to a local U... I'll feel much better after these 2 years. It's not that I hate my JC (I don't.), it's because the workload is quite suffocating.
Till then. See what else I can do other than mope.
