today was tiring.
had bloody biology lessons in the morning, and i really am starting to not listen during bio class. i don't even know if what she's teaching is necessary or not. and yes, that means a lot to me because i am already stupid enough to manage what's tested in the syllabus, much less enrichment. people say it's good to know more and enrich yourself, but no, singapore doesn't judge how good you are in your biology by how much you know, but rather, what you've gotten for your exam. so one has to abide and live by the singaporean pragmatic way of life.
passing out was afterwards. old seniors came back, we threw each other. oh well, it'll be us next year. and sir is indeed unique, i was telling my sister about the cutting of ties, and she was like 'yeah, cos people invite him to their wedding and he bu shuang cos he has to give angpow.' hahaha.
jiahui has very good seaweed in her house. spent time at her house listening to 'stairway to heaven' storyline, and using the computer, and most importantly, eating seaweed. yumyum.
the rest of saturday was spent going out with rika. fetched her and went to j8 for a while with joyce, lynn and wei ting. joyce's japanese girl, also by the name of rika, likes johnny depp! OMG. and she watched pirates already, i think i'm the only toot kia who hasn't watched it yet.
met my sister and jiefu afterwards. rika was so funny when she asked me whether the guy in the car was my father. laughed like hell because jie fu isn't even half my dad's age. couldn't stop mentioning it after that. went to eat at crystal jade and it was freaking hilarious because my mother was so funny. and the funniest thing was that she doesn't even know it. and the three of us (my sister, jie fu and i) laughed like nuts and i don't think rika knew what was going on. but she didn't like the food over there, it was pretty obvious. anyway the waiter at crystal jade was really aggressive, but nobody realized except for jie fu and i. so we just kept laughing until the end of dinner, and after that we went to ntuc to go shopping! and we went to the arcade for a while but i got chased out because i was wearing half school uniform. sian lah, people poor, like to wear uniform go out also cannot.
sigh. i tell you i am becoming a monster. because i was telling my sister about sir, and then i realize i am starting to become a bit like him. the part about assuming what others are like just because he is like it.
ohwell, i have grown to be more understanding towards people. today we all found out that this is her first time overseas, and i really mean first time. she has never gone out of the country even with her family. (don't ask me why, her family should be quite rich. dad is some board of directors. and i don't know why her parents allow her to go for her first overseas trip alone.) and yeah, she's shy and too polite, but she's nice enough already. not horribly stuck-up, and i guess she's pretty understanding. well, even though i would like someone to make herself comfortable in my house, like what i did in japan, i should know that she's not like me. and she opened up quite a lot yesterday, at least she told us what she likes and dislikes (through prompting) but it's good enough already.
so yeah, i'll try to be nicer over the next 13 days.
