24th December

Merry Christmas peeps. anyway, here's like the first post after a's.

Life's been pretty hectic for me nowadays, with driving lessons and my part time job at my dad's to contemplate with, its tough to find time for myself. Oh well, here goes to holidays. I'm finding holidays pretty boring, with nothing much going on and with myself having done majority of the stuff that I've decided to do for the holidays.

With myself enlisting on the 25th Feb, it makes me wonder of the time that I've left and how am I supposed to spend it. I was told that time flies when you enjoy, and yet during the holidays, time seems to be creeping. I'm not exactly enthusiastic about NS, but listening to all the fun things that my pals had in their first weeks, it makes my heart itch.

Well, back to the less emotional stuff. China was not as bad as I thought it'll be. When I first arrived, I thought China's gonna be like the worst overseas trip I've ever been to, but hey, ITS NOT THAT BAD AFTERALL!

You guys might think that China's all that well, all rich since they're like living in a booming economy, but the truth is that, the city areas are magnificent, the rural ones, less so. In fact, the rich poor disparity is so high that according to my "distant relative" (in which I've never seen before prior to going there), a rich guy's income per month could last them like for year. In fact, it could even allow them to bring up a child all the way up till adulthood, not including university tuition fees of course.

Throughout my 10 days there, I've been to the rural-est of areas, where they merely need like 5 SGD per day to survive, to the richest of places, where 5 SGD couldn't even get you a cup of decent coffee. With my handy-dandy videocam, I took a hell lot of pictures, like close to 300 shots with nearly an hour of video. My photography skills amazes even myself. haha

Oh and I haven't mentioned about my driving lessons at all. The 1st introductory lesson made me piss in my pants. Well, I was close to doing that. You know, when the instructor says, "go ahead, do what you deem fit", you know that you're gonna get yourself in lots of shit. Lets see, the stats show that on average, i stall the car twice per lesson, all thanks to the insane amount of stalls I've had during the first few ones. Recently, lessons been pretty alright i guess, sort of got the trick to driving, but I'm still worried about reversing. This's been my deathtrap, I can't even reverse properly in games, not to mention real-life.

You know, with less viewership on my blog, it makes it all easier to type things. You no longer have to worry about, "hey what happens if who-who reads my blog and misunderstands me". All these crap go away along with viewership, and I find this a rather pleasant thing. At least I feel free-er. When one of my ex-classmates wanted to ask for my blog, I told him to go find out for himself, and miraculously he did! I'd never knew how he did it, like never ever! Oh, and hi if you're happening to be reading this post. You know who you are kiddo.

Someone told me, "A blog is like a girlfriend, you think of lots of things to say when you're away from it, and yet when you're right in front of it, you turn dumb". Sounds awfully true to me. Normally I think of what to type outside, but when I log right into blogger, I totally lose it. Well, today's an exception. All these crap's impromptu and totally off my brain. So if you do your math and divide the number of words written in this post into the number of days I've stopped writing, it seems an awfully small amount. And yet, I CAN TRULY CLAIM THAT I DO THINK OF A LOT OF THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT EVERYDAY!

Christmas eve today, and yet I don't think I'm feeling the joyous feeling yet, it seems all too fake. People merely go to Orchard Road to immense in the atmosphere, without truly understanding the spirit of Christmas, spending quality time with your family. I missed celebrating Christmas with my family last year, and hell no am I going to do the same this time around.

Oh and I truly hope that all turns well with Lyn and Aloy. They are like the closest of couples I've ever seen, and I hate to see them breakup. Besides the superficial idea that IF they happen to split, I'll lose my discount at buying computer stuff, they're like the best of cousin and future cousin-in-law one can ever dream off. May the spirit of Christmas guide them back into the arms of one another. Enjoy.

Shabbies ratters on.

Ken off.
