purely me*

taking a break from the whole week of exams.
plus the whole month of studying.
well...
except for those times i did not have the mood to study (which is like almost everyday)
our last few trainings and the last national game
and the short holiday escapade.

i had only my econs stuff with me while i was at malaysia.
but you couldnt do much while you're on holiday.
eventhough ibu got three of us to share our own room and the kids werent' around, my mind just wasnt on my notes.
firstly, the television always had something good on.
the first hotel we went to at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, eventhough channel vision four showed the same movies over and over again.
i stayed up till 4am just to watch Matrix Revolution eventhough i had watched it at least twice before.
the hotel at Cameron Highlands, Heritage Hotel had star movies.
i spent my time in front of the telly.
and the last hotel we stayed in, music videos 24/7.
and if my head became heavy from all those television shows, there was always the plug-in game that ilyas brought along.
secondly, there's just so much food and nothing to do, that all i wanted to do was eat.
there were cups and bowls of instant noodles, countless packets of chips and biscuits, loaves and bundles of bread, etc etc.
and you should see our fridge.
stocked up with cans of soft drinks, nana's chewing gums, syairah's chocolates..
there's just a hell lot of food.
and each time our food stock ran out, there was always extra supplies from the other rooms, especially at nenek's.
thirdly, i'm such a sleepyhead.
the beds were extremely comfortable.
im on a holiday.
need i explain more?

tried to cram everything before the exams.
i was completely burnt out even before my papers ended.
got home from the econs paper with a throbbing head.
and the next day i had history and sastera.
3hr paper each.
i nearly broke down, but i got so much support and encouragement that night.
thanks a lot dear. =)
i think it is a mistake for the school to put history and sastera together.
my hands nearly tore apart.
*phew*
they're over now.
but something just made me think so hard.
this was merely the midyrs and im already all burnt out.
the topics covered weren't even the whole syllabus.
and the papers tested for midyrs were not even full papers...
how would i be able to face the Alevels then??

and even after my midyrs, i just had something else to worry about.
i think i wouldnt be able to take it if you werent there for me.
im having to face 2 pms-ing pple at home plus another cranky.
and i wont be able to rest till the 2nd week of july passes by.
im saving money now to get muzakkir the plug-in batman game, since i cant afford to get him the xbox.

i was supposed to do the chicken for the bbq yesterday.
right after my last paper on thursday, i went to the market place to get the chicken wings.
luckily for me, the shop hadnt closed yet eventhough it was already near evening.
met with ibu who just came back from work and was heading to get a new strap for my watch.
well, i b r o k e my watch.
i was on my way to school and walking towards the mrt station when suddenly my watch just snapped off my wrist.
it hit the ground and the watch face smashed. what had caused my watch to snap was the leather strap.
there goes my red guess? watch.
yen lent me an adidas watch as a replacement but i found it too big.
at least i had it on to keep track of the time during my exams.
i dont know why but i cant do without anything on my wrist.
i feel naked without anything on my wrist, be it a watch or bracelet.
so, ibu bought me a new strap for my pink guess? watch.
* i guess there's always something wrong with guess' watch straps.
i marinated the 20 chicken wings late at night with garlic, onion, jintan and ketumbar.

yen accompanied me all the way to amenda's house.
and we got lost.
we were supposed to take 961 from woodlands interchange all the way to her house, two stops after st margs at farrer court.
i remember bapak driving past the school before, the tennis courts were so distinct.
but eventhough we sat in the bus for almost 1hr, the school was nowhere in sight and the next thing we know was we ended up at outram park.
and all the way to chinatown.
=p
yeah, talk about being the laughing stock of the team.
haHaHaHAHaha!
it was quite funny. =D
we decided to take cab all the way back to farrer court.
* we couldnt stop laughing all the way there*
yeah, i went to chinatown to get ba kwa for the bbq!

it was good having everyone gathered for the bbq.
it made me miss those trainings and the games which we played hard for.
and i missed those guys.
there was so much food! *gleeful*
cant wait for another gathering
