//reminiscing the past//

hey! back from Malaysia!
actually my family and I haven’t been going there for CNY for a few years.
so you can say that it was fun returning to the crowd and noise.
however it cannot be compared to the past.
when my cousins and us were kids.
when we used to play hide-and-seek.
when we used to gobble sweets and cookies.
when we used to play fireworks
when we used to greet people in chorus.

sadly, dunno since when… all of us seemed to drift apart.
all of them busy with their innumerable friends.
until I hardly see them around!

// a blank mind. inspiration-less. //

how ah how?
recently there's been no inspiration to blog.
and it doesn't help that I've been facing the computer for too long at work.
so much so that i've been hesitant in using the com at home.
just realised that i haven't been using my brain nowadays.
at work, it's just type-type-type, click-click-click.
at home, sad to say, i've fallen prey to indulging in mindless tv programmes.
this just can't go on.

today the ntu talks sort of awaken me.
made me remember that i'm still waiting for A levels results.
still a long stretch to go before going into the workforce.
if my results can make it, i'll be going to the uni.
if i'm going to a uni, i will devote all my energy into studies.
yes. even though it's a wee bit late, this will be my new year resolution.
perhaps should make it CNY resolution, then it wouldn't be too late.
haha.

and, i really look forward to English lessons with my tutee!
seriously i think i'm really a lenient teacher.
usually, it's either me who burst out laughing or the "ah-boy" who can't stop giggling at his own mistakes.
last week, "ah-boy" hand in to me a newspaper article which he cut.
i don't know whether i should laugh or cry.
cute as he is, he cut me this article, "Thailand is still a land of smiles"
it was a report on how the Thai people were not angry at Singapore even though the Lions beat them to clinch the ASEAN football championship.
although "ah-boy" fulfilled the minimum 8 sentences criteria I set him, all he wrote was about the top scorer, Alarm Sham (er, his spelling is atrocious =P, should be Nor Alam Shah, if I’m not wrong), as well as the fact that his dad predicted wrongly that the thais would triumph.
The funny thing is that although it is so irrelevant, i can't fault him for anything as the article was not from the SPORTS section, but from the front page of ST.
