I cannot believe it. School again! In less than three days! Three. Frigging. Days. Where did the 2 month holiday go? I don’t want to go back to school & be surrounded by fake plastered walls and and and tests and heaps homework and worst of all...Ronnie. No way, nu-uh. You can’t make me go back, no sir.

I suppose for those who know me unnaturally well, this must be a first for you, me not having any desire at all to return to school. For years at on end, I’ve always looked forward to the end of a holiday, not being able to wait around and sit still for a fortnight. But now, I’ve had just about the awesomest holiday ever. And I don’t want it to end no more than I would want to find myself hopelessly locked in a room full of people infected with the Rage Virus or something, no sir.

The past two months of no school would win just about the best holiday ever hands down. Rehearsals, concerts, food, simply hanging out, music, sleepovers, parties, movies, food, hanging out, etc. Whatever. I’ve had just about the funnest two months ever (so funnest isn’t even a word, who gives? It could end up in the dictionary one day, credits to me.) It’s not like we don’t deserve to have fun after 9 backbreaking months of cramming information into our brains, all work, no play (well, all work, no play for most, I think I played more rather than studied hence the lack of a last A in my PMB results) and being deprived of school breaks.

And now those 8 weeks are over. Inexplicably, unexplainably, undeniably...over. Time came and went and fell down the sewer. Dang it! So you must be contemplating on why I’ve resolutely do not want to go to school. I’ve got a few reasons for ya buddy:


1. I’ve grown accustomed to staying at home with boundless free time on my hands. (Which, unfortunately, isn’t as boundless now.)
2. My Year 11 buddies won’t be there, especially Haz & Kev. I’m gonna miss them like heck? And it’s gonna be a wee bit lonely without them around at break.
3. Aikks and I won’t be classmates any longer. Unless by some miracle, my class is suddenly not full and she can move. Please God, please!
4. Ronnie. Enough reason to stay home or switch to a school whose disciplinarian doesn’t treat the school as if it were a military academy.
5. I’m still working on the fifth.


Good enough reasons right? No? Oh well. It’s not like I can do ANYTHING at all about it. I still have to go to school, and it’s completely mandatory. On the other hand, I get to see my friends everyday once more and have glorious fun wreaking havoc in classrooms. Oh, joy. But not all my friends. I suppose there is a downside to having close friends in different schools. Hmm. Well Chelsea, time to get your behind to school. Sad innit? Well, nice to know I’m not alone in not wanting to go back to Math to school. Gah. I’m sick of the word already, haven’t they got another word for school? Bleeuccchh.

“..Nothing works three ways.”
-a wise old kid named Anderson Duncan C. aka Andy
Absolutely nothing.


Guess what I just found out from Al (who is currently at some ward in RIPAS, he’s been admitted for eye problems or something and I’ve been keeping him company MSN-wise for a few days now)? DST doesn’t do 3 way calling. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHY NOT?!? Just another number to add to my list of Reasons Why Our Country Is At The Bottom Of The Food Chain And Why No Other Country In The World Has Heard Of Ever Heard Of Us. And I am down to #97. Kidding. But if I did have that list, I bet I would be at #97.

Oh well, that explains why Ells and I kept getting disappointed everytime we tried to add a call. I even looked in the manual. Turns out, our country doesn’t do that. *sigh

Forget Sony Ericsson or Nokia, I’m gonna sue DST ><

Anyway, I cannot for school to reopen. Which is like, in what, 2 more days? YEAH! Awesome. But that only means that PMB would be 10 days away. 10 DAYS ALREADY?! Someone tell me I’ve got it all wrong and it’s still August, please. How can we be in friggin’ October? Already?

This means I really have got to start burying myself in my books. The only revising I’ve done so far is my Geography government mocks paper. And it is severely vandalized; I can’t get past answering a couple of questions without unintentionally doodling and scribbling around the margins. This proves Geography isn’t my calling. Haha.

Well, it’s not like PMB’s gonna be that hard. Come on, like, so many ex-Year 9s have done it and they seem to be fine. What’s the big deal right? I’ve spent the last three years studying everything that’s bound to come out in the PMBs and all I have to do now is dig everything up from memory. Piece of cake.


Days to PMB 13

Labels: holidayys, people, school, things that piss me off

I just woke up about 25 minutes ago, I am seriously sleep deprived. It takes hours (literally) for me to finally fall asleep after getting into bed. And it doesn’t help that we have holiday classes, meaning we have to get up early everyday just to get to deliriously boring classes.

I swear, I could fall asleep any second during the first two periods. And just about the rest of the class too (those who actually bother turning up before school begins, others actually miss the first two periods, Math. Can you blame them though?).


And it’s so frustrating that we don’t have any break. At all. Well, I haven’t had break in a couple days. Yesterday I got kicked out of third & fourth period for absolutely no apparent reason (which I don’t really mind), but break ended up as a semi-counselling session between me and the offending teacher.

And today, the whole class was so pissed, so, so, so pissed because the same teacher took over our break. You should’ve seen the look on their faces. Ready to kill, kill the teacher, I must say. So basically, it was all studying and burying ourselves in textbooks for 4 hours straight. Grr.

One word describes the holiday class: Crappy. Boring, pointless, and unfun works too. Yeah, oh well. What a holiday this has turned out to be. Everyone I’ve encountered so far has had a near death experience, death from boredom. Man. I suppose there isn’t really much we can do in this place.

Goodluck not dying this holiday, hope to see you after.

“..And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah.”
–Hallelujah



So I almost got the spot at Chill. Yeah, almost. Not that I failed the interview, it’s just that I was too freaked out. By the guy who owns the place. Well, he was intimidating and all. But who cares? I’ll try again. But I prefer finding out whether they do take under aged, non-locals as their employees, rather than going for the interview and getting immediately turned down for not having a yellow IC.

Yesterday could win The Most Uneventful Going-Out award of the year. Yeah, we didn’t do much, Aikks, Rona, Des & I, and we spent virtually the WHOLE time at Chill. Haha, faithful clients, we are. There weren’t any customers at all, so we decided to take over the place for a bit, and we just kinda sat all over pretending we didn’t know each other. Rona was stuck outside eating her sandwich, Aikks inside; I was in the middle while Des sat in the most secluded corner he could find. Of course, the waiters, who were like, Nikki & Giebabe, didn’t mind. And there wasn’t anything to do, so we all just watched TV. Yep, free entertainment for everyone.

We didn’t bother watching anything either cause nothing slightly amusing was on. Well, Aikks wanted to go see Mamma Mia but Rona & I’d rather not. It was mighty awkward too when Des arrived cause well, he got freaked that it was an all female crowd. Honestly speaking, he didn’t say a word until much, much later. He was really shy (which was one reason why we spread over Chill, less awkward, haha). Man, I can honestly say it would’ve been seriously funner if Josh was there. Couldn’t make it thought, sadly.

The only highlight of yesterday was going to the pool at Rizqun and getting kicked out. Aikks was willing to pay me money if I jumped into the pool. I wanted to, I really did. Haha. And for about 10 minutes, we tried ever so hard to get each other wet. Until this guy in pink came up to Des and said that we should get out and that the pool was ‘only for customers’. Killjoy.

So basically what we did was sit all over Chill, get wet (to the point of looking like you’ve pissed in your pants) in the pool area, get kicked out, walk around aimlessly and uh, that’s kinda it. Highly uneventful, I must say.

Oh well, bloody hope next time we go out would at least be a little funner. What sucks is that our 5-day holiday just ended tonight and well, it’s back to getting our lazy 9th & 11th grade asses back to school tomorrow. Wish I was in the 10th grade. I’m not even sure what the subjects are for tomorrow. Goodness.

And so ladies & gentlemen, without further ado, the holiday ends.

Jesus, you are my bestfriend. No doubt.

God gave us back the electricity and I am so happy. Honestly. I just went to all the windows in my house and screamed “I want the power back!” hoping that someone would hear me and take pity and go call the person responsible for the power cut. Haha. I think I pissed the neighbours off though.

But anyway, I prayed that the power’d come back on after I took a bath and guess what? It did. Haha, love God.

Well yeah, I just endured another 60-minute black out (if you can call it a black out, it’s still pretty bright). Our neighbourhood sucks. This is the second time in just one week. Aaarrggh. And Josh insists I move to his area. Haha, I wish. It’s amazing how our daily life depends entirely on electricity huh? I mean, no TV, no PC, no AC, no Joe (he ran out of battery), no nothing. Geez huh?

Well it’s Day 3 of the holidays and there still isn’t anything much to busy myself with. I wonder what everyone else is up to right now. Oh, that’s right, NOTHING. Absolutely nothing.

Welcome to our small state of Brunei. A tiny dot in the vastness of the world map, I mean you can’t even point it out to people because the minuteness of the thing. Sheesh. And it is NOT interesting. Probably for senior citizens but not for kids like us. We need something to do. It’s what we hitch our whole existence to!

Ah well. Life goes on. And well, this place isn’t so bad. It’s actually really nice around here minus the fact that there isn’t anything to do & anywhere to go. Yeah. Like Mary Jayy said, “Count yourself lucky if you have Astro or E-speed.” Amen to that.

o1. ‘On the way’ usually means ‘I’m almost done but I can’t be bothered to finish any quicker’.

o2. ‘Almost finished’ means half an hour more.

o3. Do NOT wear heels if you’re going to any huge ass malls like SM, MOA, Megamall etc.

o4. Always bring a hanky/bandana with you if you’re going to the city, lest you die of inhaling way too much dust and/or smoke because;

o5. The city is WAY too polluted for its own good.

o6. Riding the LRT is fun.

o7. Do sit at the end of the jeep; you get a quick getaway especially if there’s a holdup although.

o8. Contrary to the above, do NOT sit at the very end of the jeepney if it’s a long drive on a bumpy road, unless you want to suffer from mild nausea later on. Depends on what kinds of person you are, really, if are such who can take feeling queasy as a consequence, then please, do sit at the end.

o9. Riding the jeep is fun, especially when you get the wind in your face…except when it’s all polluted.

10. The Philippines is ASS HUGE. Yes, I know that now.

11. Filipinos will do anything to advertize their products, including spending millions just to show you their tiresome commercials at least 3 times at every commercial break (honestly, I think I can recite any Philippine brand’s commercial now if you ask due to LONG ads on TV).

12. More time is spent on commercial breaks rather than the show you’re inclined to be watching. For a one hour show, you only watch for half an hour and commercials take the other 40 minutes.

13. When sales ladies go up to you and ask what you want, never say ‘just looking around’. They give me dirty looks whenever I say that.

14. Having ubër cool cousins makes up for the cramped space.

15. ALWAYS hold on when riding the LRT, lest you fall flat on your face to your own embarrassment.

16. Billboards will guide your way home.

17. Beware of men with earphones plugged, clutching their bags and muttering incoherently while rocking back and forth :S

18. There is no point in watching TV shows since commercial breaks pop up in less than 5 minutes into said show.

19. The food is way better here.

20. Everything is different, the sky, the buildings, the people…the SMELL.

and

21. You WILL miss the place.
