after sunday service and the usual class 301 was over, it was major slacking for me. no books, no notes, no church meetings, nothing! nothing! for 48 precious hours i was (and still am, at least until 9am tml) free from all responsibilities and demands of society on my life. not that i had actually relinquished all my work, just that i decided to test the limits of slacking in my life.
and i didnt really enjoy it that much, i felt like a total bum, like this worthless piece of nonsense rotting away in front of the TV, watching hours upon hours of mind-numbing daytime television, from Oprah (the only non-mind-numbing program) to Ellen Degeneres, to Jamie's Great Italian Adventure, the Martha Stewart Show and good heavens, Primetime Morning. yes, i watched it all. it wasnt all bad. i really did like being able to slack off, however, something at the back of my head kept making me itch for something to do, to at least think of or plan something. but i really didnt want to do anything for at least awhile. Game On! ended well and was relatively successful for a first-time program, and hopefully we'll bring it back next year for the youth. so i thought i could afford to kick back and enjoy some sofa. But of course, there's still the LiveWire Launch Party on 11 Nov. so, back to work!
also coming up is the dreaded yet anticipated PW finale - Oral Presentation! or in JC speak, simply OP. it's alot of work, tough stuff to do, alot of rehearsals and preparation, something that i truly dislike and do not look forward to. but that's not the least of my worries. there's still open house coming up of course. i feel guilty for being a slack exco member in Writers' Inc so i have decided to pull up my socks and help out tomorrow decorating the booth even though i have plans to go home and enjoy my last day of freedom in my bed. (though i hear there're no lessons on thurs)
there i go about ranting and complaining. true gentlemen dont complain about things they can't change, goes a quote. well, i can change these things, so i guess that quote doesnt really count, and im still a gentleman. (though i know some will beg to differ, but do i care?)
today is Joshua (Tay)'s birthday. i went with him, yueyang and hoyan to tamp seoul garden to celebrate. and im still full. i think the variety in seoul garden is so pathetic it's laughable. but still i was happy to spend the afternoon with old friends. and i finally got my wish to go to TM after promos. it's just this Anglican High spirit that's still very much ingrained in me. when i finish a major exam, i always feel like going to TM to chill out. even last friday i had this urge to go to TM and i was trying to psycho the class to go since practically everyone was an easterner. (how nice!) but we went to Orchard instead, and the rest is history.
so anw, i have OP lecture tml. i hope i wont fall asleep...
looking forward to EOY holidays. NOV/DEC HERE I COME!!!
(btw, i just received news that last day of school is Oct 26, and unlike previous years, no need to come back everyday for paixi, orientation prep and other camps. i.e. (almost) whole holiday to myself! :) )
