It's been slightly more than a week now, since the last update, that is.Put it this way, I didn't and don't see the need to update with posts detailing my CNY experience.
Most of my grandparents are in peace now, only surviving one's alive and kicking in Malaysia, so there goes visiting of grandparents.
where family friends are concerned, there are hardly any. Mention cousins and well, only one or two of my aunts/uncles have a family. Visiting is not something that we do a lot every year.
In fact, I now seem to dread it somewhat. Just a formality I have to complete because of me heritage and stuff. Gotta make small talk with the same relatives all the time, they say the same thing every year, I give them the same reply every year.
They're probably tired of it, but like I said, a formality. It's rare that you get an aunt or uncle that breaks this amazingly mundane cycle and decides to do something different, and god forbid, fun.
"Got girlfriend not?
"Ai yoo so long never see you so tall already!"
"Eh you are in sec what now? Huh JC already? Wah so long never see you hard to keep track leh!"
Etc.
*Smiles and nods or shakes head politely*
Yawn.
So TPJC finally decided that I've skipped too much school and wants to nip me in the ass for it.
Of course, getting a hundred odd like-minded students and having the Vice Principal to give a mass dressing down is THE way to go about it right? I mean, it'll really work out. Think about it's effectiveness. I'm sure they'll all agree in unison that they've been really naughty students.

Well I've basically learned that I'm a scoundrel with no personal responsibility, no respect for the system and severely lacking in even a drop of integrity. I'm hurt, ma. Truly I am. But hey, ma and pa always told me not to mind what other people say. If it ain't true, it ain't my reality. Thanks ma, thanks pa! GTFO VP!
Satire aside, yeah. He got the people who didn't think they'd stay to raise their hands, of course, I did so without hesitation. Monkey see, monkey do. All you need is for one person to raise his hands then suddenly everyone becomes as enthusiastic, responsive, or gutsy, depending on how you view this matter.
He proceeded to say those who are confident of leaving this school because they've done well can leave the hall. Now, I slept at 2 am before this, and woke at 5.45. It's a given that I'm shit tired and need sleep. I sure as hell didn't give a flying fuck about what he said lol. All I heard was
".. can leave the hall now."
And I woke up, snap, just like that. Picked up my bag and started to leave for the hall when suddenly...
"HOY BOY WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? IT'S PRECISELY THIS ATTITUDE THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE."
Nit pick much? I suppose he was surprised and didn't really mentally prepare himself for half the students there walking out on him and his oh-so-fab speech. Couldn't even hear anyone say anything, let alone giggle like a git.
Aand fill the rest with dull lessons and a self declared half day. I'm that damned good. =D.
Lunch with Dan, shit that prick has expensive taste. Says he doesn't eat at food courts. If I'm to dine with him in future, I'm forcing him into one.
Met up with Jollyn (who passed me her cold.) and MC. Went 'gallivanting' as Dan's mum puts it, around PP and then slacked at his house. He flipped on the AC, I flipped on his bed and knocked myself out till 7.
Dinner as Aston's, something cheaper this time. Grilled fish is good for you. Surprisingly, it's really quite economical to dine there. Good balance of quality and wallet-kindness.
In the midst of the Chem lecture, I remembered why I loved English so much again. Maybe I'll write a little story, or serial, on our toons in WoW. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Well, cold's getting the better of me, we'll see how I feel tomorrow and if I can drag my sorry rear behind to school.
