.Beautiful Disaster.

If i was a rich girl.......*when will that happen huh?*

So 2 days of holidays flew past in a wink. *blink* gone...Didn't get anythin done, didn't get much rest either, and now my fever's back, though in a milder version. Sigh.

I'm feeling incredibly slack these days. I ain't gonna attribute it all to sickness or mood swings. I think i'm adopting the heck-care attitude again, which is disastrous for a uni student. For instance, I don't prepare readings for most of my tutorials, or forget to print notes b4 lectures. Well i know most arts peeps don't do it too but at least they make the effort to read some of the required readings n bring em to class. Sometimes i just wake up late, make a mad dash to sch n forget to even bring them. Then there's the unshakeable horrid habit of always being late. Punctuality was never in me anywayz. I'd still remember those days in jc where i had to wipe tables in the H.O.D office just because i was late for school too often. Even on important occasions like exams, there were those times i'd just scramble into the examination hall, whip out stationaries from my bag and plonk my ass down on the seat and start my paper huffing breathlessly like a crazy woman. Once i sarted 30 mins later than everyone else. Time just doesn't operate in my favour. Or maybe its just me, still lost in that world of my own, where eveything else happens according to my own sweet time.

But i've digressed. Point is, i'm either taking things to easy or for granted, or i'm simply not driven enough anymore. I don't know whether i can scrape thru this sem if i continue in this slipshod manner, or anything else for that matter. :(

Guess Dad's the wisest when he shouts: "Wake up your idea!"

On a brighter note, CNY this yr was entertaining. I'm usually not very close to my relatives on dad's side, since they mostly comprise older adults who talked topics that disinterested me. Namely politics, work experiences and a whole lot of bitching/enquiring abt other people's marital affairs, fertility problems, family issues and the likes. But lately i've been gaining interest on such topics, been talking more to my relatives who were expressing for once, genuine interest in my life. And yes, interest in the personal aspects too. So this year i got to understand them better n vice versa, and hence gotten closer to them. I guess its a sign of me being accepted into that realm of adulthood(finally!), and also into the extended family.

And their ang bows were not miserable. Nope not at all :). Though every amount goes straight into my savings account to compensate for the endless withdrawls of excess retail expenditures.

And have i mentioned the children?! Cute! 2 new additions, and 3 toddlers running amok around the house and everyone was occupied. Its a wonder how young kids manage to inject so much atmosphere and festive mood. I guess in a sense they symbolise the continuation of family life, and almost everyone I know adores kids. The way they put red packets into their mouth and start chewing them, or opening them up on the spot then dangling the money they received? Just too cute for words. :)

Some pics:

My baby cousin Amber, born Oct 2004, with grandaunt Trina. Isn't she a doll :)

Cousin Ethan, Amber's older brother, an all-time active bugger.

Me and another baby whose name i did not catch(oops!) but kidnapped for a candid shot anywayz.

Going visiting tml again. They should really declare CNY a 5 day holiday i say. Then i'l have time to catch up on readings and piling homework. :P

*yeah rite like i'l do that*
