A Boring Winter Solstice

It's Winter Solstice tomorrow. I don't think that i'll be in any mood to celebrate it. There's always the glutinous balls to make tomorrow, and i hate that it stick to my fingers and it's awfully hard to get them out later if it sticks to your nails.

The whole day has been a boring one. Most of my friends are away or getting ready for next year's public exams by attending tuition. I hate it; but it's something that i have to suffer with, to get the grades for the scholarship. It's not like my parents can't afford the tuition fees and my expenses when (and if) i manage to get myself overseas. I've been considering the Ivy League, like Dartmouth and Cornell...Harvard and Yale is a lil too impossible. First, i don't know if i can cope with it; and second, i don't think i'll fare that well too far away. I mean, one of my aunt's migrating there in a few months and i won't be entering colleges for another year or so. Mom said that i could go over to Australia; and since she has a few relatives living there, and another aunt is going to settle down there, i'll still be able to reduce on the homesickness.

Sigh...I'll worry about that later, like in 9-10 more months. I'll go college hunting when SPM is over.

Dullsville

I have no idea what's wrong with me. A poem came popping into my head when mom and i were baking the lemon mousse cake together. It was in Chinese! Man, and i thought that after last year all the Chinese lessons would go down the drain. Well, if it were to go down the drain, dad would have had my head for it. I doubt it'll ever disappear entirely, after 6 years being in a Chinese school and another 3 years of mandatory classes.

There isn't much going on. Life's still as dull as ever. School's starting in a few weeks and i still have some unfinished projects leftover from last year. Maybe i'll squeeze in some time to go finish it, if something fun doesn't come distracting me.

Blek

Finally found one of those fingerless gloves today and my bought it; along with a smoothie machine and some groceries.
I couldn't play Sims 2 because i had to mount it to hell-knows-where and to activate hell-knows-what thingy. Went back to the games store but the fellow wasn't much help. I guess he's the low blood pressure type. Changed it to the deluxe version and one of those fashion designer games that sis always wants. I can unlock my com when she wants to try it out.

Another one of those gloomy days again. The sky looks like it's gonna cry again. The installation is almost complete. Going to check it out and see whether it works or i'll go back to the games store and bust that guy's ass.

Staring at the same four walls

It's been raining for two days now. I don't know what to do.
Redecoration of my room is not going to start until dad starts the renovations. He says that my bathroom has to be pushed out so that when the water tanks have any leaks (touch wood), the walls won't start peeling like now. The walls of the room is painted pink blush, or cherry blossom. I don't like it but i can't complain.
If the bathroom is pushed out, my room's gonna be really spacious; with the walls so bare, i can't bare it. I used to buy the posters at those mailing stores; where the send you a catalog and you mail back the list of items you want to buy with either a check or the postal money. They had wonderful posters throughout the year but i was too busy to find time to sit down and decide which to buy. I'm very free now, but they ran out of posters. Guess i'll have to wait till the next issue to see whether they have some nice ones.

The rain's gotten me a bit melancholic. It reminds me of Grandma. I miss her. I told her the wait for me but she didn't. She's left me alone with a unfulfilled promise. But she's in a happy place now, i think. She's no longer suffering, so i'll be happy for her.

The trip's next Friday, we'll be leaving in the morning. I hope that it'll be an enjoyable one.

Tenacity

I can't figure how to make the music player invisible, but i don't care now. At least i have something in my music section. This is one part of the blog that i won't change; the selection of the music. Most of them are only instrumentals; no lyrics except for Boston and Shine. I don't know if they suit the image of the blog; but i just don't care.

I'll try to figure out it soon, unless i can get one of bro's friends to teach me. It's no harm learning something new right?
