Sem 1 Vacation!
Wednesday, December 12, 2012 @ 12:51 PM
Oh yes, it's day #3 of the post Semester One's holiday! Felt like it's been quite some time though, partly because my last exam ended eleven days ago. But I think the more important reason would be because I have gotten too used to good times flying past like fleeting moments, where the horror of school and hectic lifestyles constantly beg to haunt me. Just like the 8 month break after the A levels - an honestly not very short period of time, but once it's over, one begins to regret all the lost time that one wastes. For me, I was too caught up with not wasting my time that I sped past the entire break period. I worked and interned myself silly, then had a travel feast on my own, and ended up with barely enough time to rest and recuperate and poof! the break ended. Sometimes I feel rather dumb to have done that, but then again, I guess I wouldn't have it any other way (other than probably cutting short my internship for a better and more relaxing travelling experience).
This holiday, I think history is going to repeat itself, though for the better I hope. Been feasting my heart out and meeting and catching up with some of the old friends I hold really close to my heart. Spending money like I have never done before on expensive food and buffets and interesting activities like visiting the zoo and catching movies (I hope) because I know once the second semester begins I'll be grumpy and moany and cooped up in my room again. How extravagant I know. I've taken my ATM card out of my wallet more times than I have in this past ten days than I ever had for as long as I owned the card. D: All for happiness' sake~! These spending tendencies will stop once holidays end I promise!!
Of course with feasting and busting the budget and burning a hole in the wallet comes increasing fats and weight gain... ;( Seeing the needle of the scale hitting further to the right and I'm feeling depressed.. And depression is accompanied by more food! Vicious cycle, lady... Oh well, I guess food is the only consolation for the short and unanticipated wait for the results to release on Boxing Day. Speaking of which, I'm still contemplating whether or not to check my results on the day itself or wait till I return to SG to cry over it. But then again I already signed up for the SMS service so I can only probably prevent myself from seeing the grades if I perpetually keep my phone off throughout the entire hol. Decisions decisions..
Another issue I'm having difficulty coping with is the commitments I'm suddenly saddled with just over the span of the past month. Suddenly I'm Float Vice-Head and a member of the FOCC Prog and Storyline Committee. I've told myself not to get involved in orientation next year already because I'd very much prefer some "me" time, especially for someone who likes to get away from school and school-related stuff when I'm not required to. But now it seems like my involvement is getting to a level I'd never expected at all. AND, Float is going to be another wild ride, a huge challenge, and an extremely time-consuming commitment. Can't believe what's awaiting me in another few months. Breathless.
Finally prepared to catch up on Padam Padam and my Hyung Jun's Concert DVD yesterday but discovered the DVD player is spoilt. WHAT A BUMMER! ;((( This only means I have to watch them on the laptop... which means compromising on size of the screen and my comfort. T.T bummerbummerbummer.
There're so many things I wish to do for the people around me..but I just haven't got the time and energy. Sis is going on exchange but I haven't gotten anything to send her off with, and I doubt I will be in the end. (probably gonna just add on to her luggage load and that's not pleasant) Wanna do up some Christmas goodies for my closer friends but haven't got no clue on what and the day is nearing (so I guess I'll just put that plan off already) Feeling so lazy and so slackish because I really feel like I haven't pampered myself enough (probably only food-wise) and it'll be just perfect if I could go to the hot springs in Korea and just immerse myself in the water for an entire day.. just lazing around with the cool winter breeze blowing past my cheek. Ah dreams.
Back to reality now. Gotta pack up the mess in my house because I just shifted all my stuff back from hall for the vacation but have got nowhere to house them. My logic is that since I'll be bringing them back to hall again anyway why not just leave them around? Saves the hassle, no? Apparently not, according to the mummy. Zzzzzz, this only means I've got to clear up again...
What rants I've got today...! But I guess this basically sums up what I've been up to for the past few days/weeks and there's definitely more to come! It'd be crazy if I were to detail them here... So let the memories stay in my head (& photos!). Will be back to this space again soon... Adios! ;)
