There’s two weeks left till the holiday ends and guess what? I’m dreading the light at the end of the tunnel. This is mainly because I’m already accustomed to this certain routine I have which has no chance of being held on to once lessons commence. Did I mention that we do not even have tuition classes for this month? A whole month to myself..ending..sigh.
I don’t really watch television much but this Taiwanese series happen to have snagged my attention. Watched it once. Was kinda enthralled by the plot. Missed a couple of episodes. Managed to watch another installment only to learn that it was the final one. Can’t blame me for living up to my pathetic-ness..lol. Those people do have style by the way. There’s this guy who looks like Legolas. Just a little brawny.
Have been going to the library. Joined by Adlan and Yan Kee. It opens only at 10 but since my dad has to be in his clinic at 9.00 and thanks to the fact that I’m not allowed to roll on four wheels yet, I get sent there at approximately 8.30. So what I do is to take strolls down to the Kopitiam, order a drink and wallow myself in Biology..
The other day I was a little amused by this conversation I overheard. I wasn’t eavesdropping by the way. The guy was blaring his vocals giving me no choice but to tune my frequency into his channel. These were two men who looked like pensioners (they were aged and how else can you explain why they are so free) and they were discussing social issues mainly on the involvement of youngsters. Their intonation and flare clearly depicts the fact that they really have things against teenagers.
Uncle A : Eh Yong, kids nowadays ar, they tend to waste their parent’s hard-earned cash. I see my nephews and nieces. They keep asking their father for money. And not small amounts some more. Have to give la. If not, they will kill you.
Uncle B : Yeah. Most youngsters nowadays are very violent. They know you have money, they take it – with or without your permission. You stand in their way, they sapu your insurance as well. Terrible days.
Uncle A : What we have to do is to pretend to be poor. They ask for ten ringgit, we give them only two. If not we’re gone.
LOL!
Saw Phang Kean Mun, Tick Yau, Hong Wai and the Traffic Exco whose name I think is Wai Kit. Hehe..sorry. They were trying out some Olympiad Maths questions. I tried a few. You really need lots of neurones to be able to solve them. I rather save them for Biology..
Then there’s this uncle who frequents the library in the afternoon. He looks like a professional. Pressed long-sleeves with slick back-combed hair. I first noticed him on Tuesday when he walked past me carrying some SPM reference books looking very serious. I was a little fascinated and allowed my eyes to follow him only to see him form a pile to rest his head on as he dozed off.
On Wednesday, the same thing happened just that we were ‘treated’ to some music. The guy apparently needed something to lull him to sleep. Weird thing was his type of lullaby. They sounded like those propoganda-like theme songs they play before comic superhero shows.
And guess what? Though we were occupying a table of substantial distance from his, the songs were audible. We couldn’t help but notice that he had earphones plugged into his ears. Hence the assumption that the guy forgot to plug in his earphone jack into his walkman. I don’t know about you guys, but I really do think he’s cool. Plan to strike a conversation with him if I do see him next week..
Something to think about. Do giraffes have lightning-earthing system? Their height in the African savanna makes them really vulnerable to being electri-fried. Hmm..
And I’ve suddenly got this urge to make Madam Kwan proud of me. It’s not going to be easy..sigh.
Signing out before this post gets any longer. Cheerio!
