Happy New Year!
So we're finally into the new year. And I so dread going to school.
Think about the worrying over exams (OMGWTFBBQsauce? SPM!) and endless lists of homework and my mom's perpetual nagging. Shudders.
And the 6 a.m. alarms and wishing there's no 10th period at the end of the school day and thinking about whose homework you can copy from.
Most of all, I dread having to sit through 6 hours of boring classes in the classroom of 5S6. There would've been a bit of excitement if we were reshuffled and all. But nevermind.
I'm hoping next year would be better than this year. I don't want to spend the year wishing the days were shorter.
Anyway, I'm back from camp. And it has been fun! The worst part is probably the nights, and even that wasn't that bad at all. I couldn't sleep much, mainly because I was in a foreign bed, and also because the slightest sounds wake me up.
And, the girls in my dorm are obsessed with this "impossibly cute guy". Impossible, because he is pure chinese, but looks ang moh. There were supposedly only three of us who weren't at all affected by his good looks, but one of the three eventually caved and wanted to get his autograph. And he didn't even know we existed.
There are a whole lot of things that I only got to know after camp, some of which are the fact that people think Li-Ann and I do not look 16 at all, that there are so many girlie accesories that we didn't know existed, and that other people do not enjoy camwhoring.
Better yet, I got to know that my sister actually misses me everytime I go out. I know there are a few times I have said, "Tomorrow I'm going out with friends", and she'd ask me to stay at home and not go. I thought she was only saying it, without actually meaning what she said. And everytime I go on trips, she'd lament that nobody would be at home to accompany her.
I had my cellphone switched off most of the time during camp, and one evening I realized I had 4 missed calls from my house phone, the first one from 12 a.m. the night before. Now, I obviously thought there had been an emergency or something, because nobody calls repeatedly after midnight.
But it turned out my sister had finally found a certain album I had been trying to find for the past 5 months (and eventually given up altogether), and she had bought it, and she was really excited to tell me that. It's great you know, because for one I don't have to pay for the CD out of my own money. Haha!
And, she also called me on my cellphone on the last day, just to make sure I was coming back. That's really sweet, I probably wouldn't have done the same if she was away.
Well, whatever. I'm just glad I finally got that album.
But it's not like she didn't get herself an album also. I've got to say, she's been buying so many CDs this year, I wonder if she listens to all of them. I'm still proud of the fact that she didn't cave in and buy pirated CDs instead of original ones. Because buying more fakes than originals is so wrong!
