Holidays
(0) 01:50 It's been more than a week since I last posted. Alas I'm not being very regular these days! To tie up some loose ends, the concert that I mentioned two posts back was kind of okay, I enjoyed myself a little, even though I was exhausted by the end of it having performed twice in one day. I'm also very grateful for the friends who turned up to support me, and I don't think I can say enough to express how special that made me feel. So thank you again, Kathy and Weiqi, Yvette, Zirui, Jason and You Jin.

I've remodeled Kathy's blog, by the way, and I'm quite proud of it. Hop on over for a looksee.

This is the first week of the June holidays, which leads up to the dreaded Blocks, the mid-year exams. Yeuch. So effectively, it's a month-long study-break, which I'm supposed to, um, use fruitfully. If it redeems me any, I've begun on my reading again! Am currently in the midst of Dan Simmon's Ilium, which I borrowed together with Iain Bank's Walking on Glass. But what's most exciting is the trip I made to the Singapore Expo last sunday, to the MPH Warehouse Sale, where I bought The Birdcage by Marcia Willett, The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey and The Lost Chronicles, a companion to the TV series. All for just $35! Wow. XP And the Lost companion book comes with a free DVD of the pilot episode of season 1. Wee!

Ah well. Nothing much else has been happening. For the first time, I actually wish that it wasn't the holidays, and there was school to look forward to the next day. It's rather boring staying cooped up at home all the time. I was just thinking today, as I returned home after voluntarily venturing out to buy lunch for Mum and I, that you do grow out of being anti-social, at some point in your life, and I think I've reached that point in mine.

I think I'm a little bit happy, despite everything, and everything is a huge dark wave that's about to crash over me anytime.
