A Brief Expository on Happenings Lately.

The above is a contradictory statement. Heehee.

Anyways:

Friday, Victorian Challenge back at my old secondary school. Since i have the misfortune of not beng in VJ, i didn't really know what was going on apart from a run and a car wash. The latter, incidentally, featured in the Saturday newspapers.. So anyway. I went back to VS feeling rather hungry, got informed that out of my clique of four, one was busy with debates and the other didn't feel like coming back. So i had to go out for dinner with the remaining guy's Chinese Orchestra friends. I felt a little left out >.<. And they poked fun at RJ... it's never a nice thing to hear your school as the butt of jokes. And of course I didn't agree with them; their grouches about smart people don't apply to me, at least. What's there to compare when my grades are to the tune of BBEEU while the VJ CO gang had a straight-A person in their midst?
Sleeping on the bus journey there was also not enough, as i found out. I took the same bus back after about 4 hours of wandering the Marine Parade area, slept soundly, and woke up several bus stops away, and had to walk back home. Along the way, i discovered that a grassy plain that i used to walk slowly through and enjoy the breeze, trees and sunshine had been fully cordoned off. The fences were already partially erected last year, but still... How disappointing that the pace of life moves so fast. I still want time to enjoy my sun-soaked minutes walking in the field...
I also saw a modern contemporary home. It was under construction the last i saw it, but now.. It's beautiful. Maybe i should have taken a picture of it after standing there and gawking for several minutes straight.

Today (Sunday) will be catch-up day. Has to be catch-up day. I have been accidentally sleeping early for the past few days, so my pile of newspapers-to-be-read and homework have been increasing, never decreasing... There's till so much left to be done till i can finally sleep. And i largely spent the day reading the papers and packing some of my worldly belongings into cardboard boxes to be moved to the new house that's probably under 1km away. Oh, well. Along the way i uncovered so many dusty relics, largely bokos, because that's what i've been dealing with today. Primary school certificates reminding me of my largely-gold NAPFA results back then (drastically better than now). Weird magazines reminding me of how widely i used to read in the past, mostly forgotten. The genus of a dnosaur, for example. The Bookworm adventures series of magazines that I used to follow, books included. Post-kid magazine. Zoo-Ed. Young Scientist. Asian Geographic from my eldest sister (I miss Asian Geo, damnit..). Enid Blyton... the list continues on and on. It's so nostalgic, but i don't really have the time to even sit back and savour this feeling, newly surfaced, do i?
