Happy Chinese New Year to all. I know that it is a little late for that already, but it's only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Somehow, I felt the New Year mood being stronger on the night I performed at Jurong than on New Year's day itself but I am still grateful for the 2-day break.
After the New Year celebrations in school, I rushed back to Anglican High only to see an almost empty school. So few of my friends went back that I ended up leaving school quite soon after I arrived.
I ran into Ting Ting, Torrance and Cally at Tampines mall and joined them for lunch at Pizza Hut. The food was quite nice, but it was really expensive. All the money I had saved in the past few days was spent on lunch. After that, I walked quite aimlessly around Tampines for a while before going home.
There wasn't much left to do at home. I only had to vacuum and mop the living and dining rooms. After that, I went with my father to bring one of my relatives to my grandmother's house for dinner.
I can't believe that I could still eat so much despite eating such a heavy lunch. Dinner was really delicious so I couldn't help but eat and eat. After getting home, I washed my father's car again. It wasn't as hard because I only had to wipe it since I just washed it a few days ago.
New Year's day was the same routine as the previous years. The only difference was that I got to ride in my uncle's new car. My father got lost again while going to one of my relatives' house even though before that he was studying the map of the area. I only had a glance and I managed to correct my uncle and direct him to the correct place. Maybe my father needs me to guide him around since I can hardly get lost.
My family went to the Singapore River Hong Bao that night but there was nothing much to see there. After less than an hour, we went back home. Maybe it was already a long day for my sister since she was making a lot of noise while we were there.
On the second day, we did nothing much, other than some visiting at my relatives' house. I had the cross country run on Friday and I came in 353th position. It really shocked me because I have never got such a big position before. For the 2.4 km run in secondary school, the total number of boys running was only around 150. So my number makes me twice as bad as the last runner.
I went back to Anglican High after the run. Hardy Mertens came to work with the band. I was quite surprised that he was very impressed with the band. The band sounded quite good on the whole, but still not clear.
On Saturday, some of the sec 4s and I went to visit Mr and Mrs Chua. Before that, some of us had lunch at Burger King at Eastpoint and one of the employees really got onto my nerve. I am not going to visit that place again unless I really have to. It was the worst experience I have ever had in a fast food restaurant. Anyway, Mr Chua's house is really very nice. Although we did not really do much there, other than watch "kung fu" (if I'm not wrong) and some of them playing cards and mahjong and the keyboard, it was really fun there.
I am very bothered by all the homework I have. I spent one and a half hours last night doing only 2 mathematics questions and 2 chemistry questions, and before blogging, I spent 2 hours working on 4 chemistry questions and trying to understand 2 mathematics question that I still cannot understand and a Chinese close passage which I can barely read half the words and not understand anything at all. I wonder how I am supposed to finish all the remaining work by tomorrow.
I'll stop here.
