foolishly, i am writing this now, nearing dawn, when i should be spending those 2 precious hours i have left sleeping before i have to get up and go for that dumb 6 hour amali course which i think is a waste of time and effort on my part. but, i, already in the habit of sleeping late and waking up later, was watching cartoons all night long without a second thought on how lethargic i would be the next day, or, later today. but, i always have been stupid and ignorant about my health. for me, leisure comes first, haha................
so, i couldn't sleep, and have been browsing through the Facebook profiles of various high school friends. and now, i've come to realise that i miss the carefree life i had in high school. all i did was play and talk with friends, and, spend a small amount of my time worrying about exams three times every year. boy, life was good.
i've always had problems adjusting to new people, new environments. one thing that makes me so sad about leaving high scool is that it means i had to do things all over again, like making new friends and getting used to new surrounding and everything. i have to admit, i was pretty reluctant to leave school during the last day of SPM. i miss CHS. i miss my high school friends. I MISS MY CLASSMATES, I MISS 5S3!!!!!!!!
man, if only i'm smart smart enough to build a time machine. i know it's impossible, but, hey, at least i'm able to dream, right?

fruitful trip
i'm never going to get my own macbook! i can't believe it! everyone i know have their own laptop but i don't! i'm soo jealous of my sister everytime she takes out her shiny mac out and doing all sorts of cool things on it, things you can never do with windows. everything's so smooth! dang!
penang trip was definitely an unforgettable one. the car broke down halfway through, driving on the highway. called the tow truck but had to wait eons for it to arrive. me, my mom and my sister had to ride in our car while it was tilting at a 30 to 40 degrees angle with the window down while my father rode in the front seat of the tow truck with the towing guy, or whatever you call them. i'm not complaining, it was actually pretty fun to have the wind blowing against my face and through my hair. fortunately the car was fixed and ready to be taken for a long drive in 4 hours so we continued the journey from ipoh to penang and arrived at night. we were so pooped that we went to bed straight after dinner, not bothering to take a look around.
woke up at 8, which is an exhausting thing for me to do for i like to wake up late. took the winding road down from the apartment to town with an empty stomach. vomited at the gas station. everyone was in a sulky mood and snapping at everybody, so i grumpily suggested that we had breakfast first before doing any planning. so we ate and went to these places: fort cornwallis, where i took pictures with the goats and ponies, the town museum, creepy place, the baba nyonya mansion, loved it!! and the toy museum, with it's massive toy collection, said to be the largest in the world. it was amazing! it can be considered a great feat for us to visit 4 different places in an afternoon, 3 within walking distance from town and the other was a 10 minute drive. had dinner at gurney drive, which was pretty disappointing, i have to admit. the quality of the food has definitely dropped the last time i visited, which was 6 years ago.
the third day, the day we were to return, we didn't do much. in fact, we didn't do anything. we just went straight back home, for i was worried about pedro, my cat who's probably in his teens now, who was left at home because we thought it would be better to have him in a familiar environment than in a cage at a pet hotel. pedro doesn't like to be locked up, he goes crazy.
still, my family learned alot during this trip: we just can't spend long hours with each other without starting an argument~
