Hi all! 1st of all, Merry Christmas. And then, Happy New Year. And!
Happy Chinese New Year. ^_^
Sorry for not blogging and updating on my little life intricacies for such a long time. Anyway, Christmas was great. I am sooo going to celebrate Christmas with decorations and full on presents whenever I get back to Singapore and perhaps start getting some money through work and study. *cough*
Work has reeeaally started piling on. For example, I have got overdue coursework for English and Health and Social Care. Plus a few notes and questions in Maths that I want to do. But I'm working today 5-10pm, tomorrow 5-10pm and Thursday 5-10pm. So that kinda renders me with no time at all for myself or my homework.
Also doesn't help that computer at home is not working when my Health and Social Care requires the computer. Ah well. Such is life.
Gotta make this quick though. I am needed to report to work in half and hour. Ah YES! Remembered what I was going to say.
*ahem*
IT SNOWED YESTERDAY! Yes. And it was cold. Freezing. Mind numbing finger breaking cold. It's also quite depressing how I forget what it's like to not have cold toes and fingers and nose. And guess what! I wore a beanie. Well Ryan and Greg said "You look fine." Whenever I kicked up and big fuss about me looking dumb. So I wore it when walking up here to the library.
Only to be greeted by Samantha with "That hat is hilarious."
Thanks Samantha. You look great too. *thumbs up*
Weather forecast is for more snow and sleet with a few schools being shut down and County Down (that's here) being hit the hardest.
Whooppeeeeee. Gotta try to 'enjoy' it now though. Probably will never get to do it again. Tis also kinda depressing knowing that I may not come here to live again after July. But sure, at least while this is temporary, I had lots of fun. ^_^
So to sum it up, I'm back, three different festivals have gone past and I'm cold.
Boy am I entertaining.

New Job!
Quite recently, well, it's actually two weeks ago, I had my first shift to my new job. It's in a gambling arcade just walking distance from the house here, which is great. And also, you don't have to do an awful lot. Mainly just patrolling around and cleaning the machines, making sure people behave, etc.
It's great! Plus! I get plenty of shifts! Which is good for money. My manager is nice, the colleagues are nice. What more can I ask for?
Sorry for this really short and really crappy post, but I'm so tired and don't really have the time. I have so much to dooo!!

Neurotic Mess
This is just so weird, but I think the toll of juggling work, schoolwork, and housework is taking it toll on me. My results were so disappointing.
So far:
Maths: 85% OK, but expected something higher.
Statistics: 50% Expected to fail that paper because of one formula I failed to memorize but still, totally gutted.
Health and Social Care: 54% Oh well, what can I expect if I'm not taking this subject as seriously as I should?
Still waiting for my English results. Apparently it's nothing impressive either. I have also been sacrificing little things for the sake of trying to get things done around the house and working. Things such as vacuuming my room, tidying my room, going on the internet, sitting in front of the TV, waking up late. These little things just get to you you know?
Took photos of the frost last week, but because I lost my USB cable, the pictures wouldn't be up for quite a while. Sorry.

White Lies?
Well everyone, I have news for you. I....
Have changed.
Big news. Everyone changes everyday. Your skin cells shed off, you lose a few milligrams that no one notices, etc. But this is a big change! And I've only recently noticed it. Like last week. And as most of you can tell from the title, it's about lying.
Yes, lying. I mean as most people would know by now, ('cos I wouldn't stop going on about it), I'm from Singapore and moved here last year. With great moves comes great changes I tell you, I s*** you not. First up, I've more or less stopped swearing. Now I only swear in extreme moods of anger, annoyance, and pain. Which is not very often.
Second up, my temper has kind of fizzed out? But really, I lose my temper less often I find. Or I lose my temper whenever there is something that is annoying me and is still there grating on my nerves. Like nails on a chalkboard. Ugh.
Something you shouldn't see on tv now, not with the recession.
Last but not least, it's lying. Not lying down on the bed. No no, I like lying down on the bed, especially when it's to sleep. I mean lying to people. Opposite of truth. Whenever I was in Singapore, before I came over, I wouldn't have minded lying to anyone (sorry Mommy). I could tell a lie straight into anyone's face and feel a slight twinge of conscience which is quickly smothered. But then I have now come to appreciate all the I have, and I have come to completely trust everyone and have gotten used to the complete trust people have in me in return.
Quite literally, I find it incapable to lie. Told a lie on Saturday, and it's still torturing me. Told another lie of the same sort today, and I'm at breaking point. Seriously, blubbering pile of tears. In simple terms, it can be solved by telling the truth right?
Wrong.
'Cos I've already made a pact with someone to not tell anyone else. I can keep a secret. Ask my friends. But whenever someone says something along the lines of "So hey, what is xxxxxx doing now?" And I have to lie, I feel so bad protecting that person.
From now on, actually, from a few weeks (days?) ago, I have decided to be the best person I can be. No lying, an occasional drink, definitely no drunken dancing, no smoking, (trying to) not swear. The works. Because when I die, I want to be able to know that I have died making something of myself, even though it probably wouldn't be visible to anyone else.

Talk about School
Today I went into school even though I didn't have any exams. Why?
For him. So that he wouldn't feel lonely while waiting for his exam to come on.
And also because Jordan's going into school for his exam too and it'll be convenient to get a lift down to school, study/sleep/talk in the common room, then get another lift home. How handy. Hee hee.
Cat's got to be fed soon. Cooking for just the two of us and doing the laundry and all isn't too much hassle. Just gets a little tiring sometimes. Now whenever I go to bed, I either conk out immediately, or just lie awake for ages because of the sheer amount of things going through my head. But surprisingly, I just keep going and going and going.
Good for me! Now I will have more energy to do even more housework. Quite surprisingly, this feels like playing house when I was young. Only in real time, doing real things. Remember that game? Where you may have fought with your friend over who is to be the man or the woman and no one wants to be the man? Where you sit and pretend to cook coloured paper and lovingly feed it to your 'husband' or anyone who is willing to entertain you and pretend to 'eat' it.
Yea, that one.
Ahh, good times.
