I know, I'm bloody slow in updating. It has been a rather uneventful holiday for me - I did not go scoping for a job, nor did I sign up for any other activities. Being the youngest probably comes with its own perks. Ever since my sis and brother started working, they told me to 'enjoy my student life'. So that's what I'm doing now. My auntie commented rather bluntly that I was 'whiling my time away'. I think otherwise. Besides having some much needed rest and leisure time, I'd like to do some other things - getting creative with my room tops the list. I went to Ikea not too long ago and bought a new lamp, and some storage space for my overflowing desk. I've also bought black and white photo frames to frame up the photos of Big Ben and Tower Bridge I bought from the UK. Every time I start decorating my room and making it look more presentable, I feel a sense of great satisfaction. I promise my home's going to look presentable in future.

Other than refurbishing my dreary looking study room, I also went to the topmost balcony and sun-tanned. The results are mediocre - I don't think the unobservant would notice any change. You can expect that with such a rainy month - which brings me to the next activity I enjoy doing as well - sleeping. Late into the afternoon. I don't like waking too late but somehow, the rain makes me go back to sleep.

I've caught 1 movie (HP - see below) so far and I intend to make that number increase somehow. I'm planning to catch Aeon Flux starring Charlize Theron, and am on the look out for new movies.

Personal activities aside, I've also been going out with friends. I went out with ZH, YM and Vanessa last ... Wednesday I think, and spent more time walking to our destinations - going up 10 storeys of the newly built national library, walking to Parco Bugis Junction and sitting at Coffee Bean for a few hours, talking about loads of things. We broached upon some intellectual conversations, which, to be honest, I am hardly adept at, and some idiot proof conversations as well. We yakked more than we looked at items on sale, and you know what? I like that. It's strange - because apart from ZH, the rest were classmates whom I wasn't that close to. The decision to go out was made at whim. In fact I was wondering if it would be weird to go out with people I wasn't close to. Which just brings me to the conclusion that - if you don't give other parties a chance, you may just destroy your potential to be good friends with them.

The same applies to my squadmates - and I'm sure they understand what I mean by this. Bonds can still be forged even after the 4 years we've spent together - only if every single soul is open to it. I will elaborate more on the squad outing we had yesterday night in the next post.

So you see - with so many things to do during the holidays - not forgetting the crapload of holiday homework we have, I don't regret not getting a job.
