Money money money~

SPARE ME A DIME?!

Nah, just kidding.

Skipped school on the 23rd, original plan was to go back to Malaysia that morning. My father came to Singapore by train, since he was the one who'd drive us back, since apparently, my mom can't keep her cool when there's a crazy ass traffic jam.

That plan just got shot to hell the moment my father heard that we won't be going to school the next day. He immediately said that we should go now (12:30 midnight, Thursday) because there wouldn't be any cars, thus no traffic jam.

So fucking glad we did that. Apparently, according to the radio, both the Causeway and the Second Link had heavy traffic jams since early morning on the 23rd. When we went that night, there was like, only five or six cars, excluding us, there.

Chinese New Year! Reunion dinner and whatnot. Recieved angpau money (always welcome) when we went to my grandmother's house on the 25th. 'twas pretty fun.

Came back to Singapore on the 27th, via Second Link and luckily, no traffic jams.

Of course, over the course of the past few weeks, there cannot be a lack of new books.

And then it hit me

A few days into a new year, then it really starts sinking in. All that you've treasured so far, is now known as "last year". What I've done, enjoyed, felt, experienced, now nothing but memories that will slowly fade with time.

This year, my friends in Malaysia would be taking their SPM, and I my IGCSE. I've started thinking about it since two years ago, but I've yet to find an answer to it.

What the hell am I going to do?

Suffice to say, my foreseeable future is nothing more then a blurry mess, and frankly, that scares the crap out of me. That goes without saying, whatever that I will then choose to do will require more and more work on my part.

Therefore I have decided. This year, I will take my studies seriously.
