its really a day to be happy.. and i AM happy that Hari Raya is here to give us all our much needed two-day break (though definitely its more than a two-day break bcos before this we would have been busy preparing the house and whatnot) from school.. but here’s the catch: once you’re in a Raya mood its hard to go back into the studying mood.. this is not a good thing at all when you have forums to post on essays to get started on projects to work on and books to hit.. bcos you really get caught up in the festive mood and the visiting of relatives’ houses and the really oh-so delicious food that i congratulate the Malay community for coming up with things like rendang and ketupat..btw if it seems that my post is in never ending sentences without pauses its bcos my comma key has malfunctioned.. anw.. i refused to do work these few days leading up to and on the day of Hari Raya itself up till now that i’m typing this entry to get this feeling of frustration at the unrelenting academic world off my chest before i resign myself to going to school tomorrow even though its the freaking recess week..
in another bleargh news i’m sorry guys but i’m REALLY not in the mood to plan for an MCS Raya outing this year.. for a couple of reasons probably selfish and unthoughtful ones (hence i would need to seek forgiveness again)
1) i will be very busy with school (MAJOR BOO TO SCHOOL)..
2) Jannah Tall won’t be in Singapore so its gonna suck if i plan it anws..
3) last year’s record-breaking bad turnout is still fresh in my memory.. i know some of the absences were totally not intentional and i’m really not holding any grudges.. i seriously would not have mind planning another outing this year if not for the fact that Jannah Tall’s absence and looming datelines are making me so bleargh to plan one this year.. but its more of the fear that there will be another bad turnout again.. it would seriously suck if i plan despite my hesitance and we still end up with just a handful of ppl.. i’m impatient and bitchy like that
.. besides planning in itself is a real beyotch.. i would love to and definitely would go if someone else does the planning however? (faris if you’re reading this i’m looking at you. seriously.) we can bring a life-size poster of Jannah Tall..
but you know what IS the silver lining behind the mushroom cloud of school and a very possibly dull Raya?
Jannah’s birthday! its definitely something to look forward to no? not that we’re planning anything for her *coughs*…… seriously we ain’t.. but happy 22nd sweetie.. you seriously rock my world..
