boredom and homework. i complain too much.

already into the second week of the holidays, and i'm as bored as shit. but shit has no reason to be bored. it has this wonder roller coaster ride down the toilet bowl and into the ocean (and into our NEWater). unlike me. i'm freakishly bored. like i have this feeling in myself that wants to stick to the original routine of going to school, sitting through lessons, going home, doing homework etica etica! but i can't. at least those sports CCA people can go to school and keep their minds fresh and keep them from rotting away, but i'm kinda sitting at home pondering about my existence and rabbid dogs and physics. BLECHH. haha that sounded like puke. anyway. now my brother still has school for another 2 weeks and he's complaining about it and feeling jealous that i don't have school, but honestly if i were him i'd still stick to it happily cos, due to singaporeans slackiness and lack of outgoing-ness, we don't bother to find interesting things to do, and most of the time the end of year holidays become so boring and we just sit at home collecting dust. (or maybe thats just me, but i'm pretty sure we get bored) so in my opinion, its much better to have a shorter well-spent amount of time in the holidays, than have 2 months of boredom.

but despite being bored i still have HOMEWORK. garh. i know i'm totally contradicting myself here, but why do we need to prepare for school next year when the holidays are supposed to be a time where we relax and wanna get as far away from school as possible. HOLIDAY -- a festivity or recreation where NO WORK IS DONE. so technically by making us do homework and research etica etica, we are defeating the purpose of having a holiday in the first place (see holiday meaning on top). as we progress we have got more and more work to cope with in school, so isn't it only fair to let as relax and not think about school till jan 2? but NO!, they've got the whole of next year planned for us, and we need an early head start! thats how messed up we are now in these times. scientists/philosophers/prime ministers keep claiming that they are doing their best to work towards a better more advanced world, but BETTER and MORE ADVANCED need not be put together. sure, their work has brought to a more advanced society than lets say, the early 1800s, but it hasn't necessarily improved our lives. sure, they made stuff like computers, handphones, buses, toothpaste etica etica that improves convenience and saves time, but then we just have more time to work and work and work, thus the fast-paced, busy, no time to stop and stare society that we have become. so i'm pretty sure life was more peaceful and meaningful in the 1800s than in present day. PHEW. i feel like i said that all in one breath. i'm totally digressing. but then again, nowadays we've got so much things to think about, we have no time to appreciate life.

on a lighter note, i'm gonna move house! <-- i'm not sure if there's a more sophisticated way to say it, but yeah! i'm so excited. its brand new, though its smaller than my current one, but there's a brand new fresh start feeling. i'm also a lot nearer to school, so yay :D

thats the outside from the window. :D
