"And you've been so busy lately
... that you haven't found the time, to open up your mind, and watch the world spinning, gently out of time.." ~ BlurIt was one of those reminders that you really need, but you don't get often enough of, u know? Sometimes you just get too caught up with your own work or issues, that you forget there's a world out there.. To live in..
The past few days have been pretty busy for me, with datelines for projs and what-nots.. Been spending my days in school and reaching home past 11.. I was telling a friend that my mum and I talked more on the phone than in person ha.. It's cos everytime I come home from school I'd be too bummed out to do anything but go straight to my room. So usually she'd like call me arnd 9 plus 10 to ask me abt my schedule for the next day, what time I'd be leaving home, what time I wanna wake up. Weird isn't it? That's one messed-up family relationship I'm telling you, albeit a very amusing one.
In fact, Monday was the 1st in a verrrrrry long time that I reached home when the sun was still up! Haa.. That was super refreshing.. Although I admit I probably wouldn't have done that had my parents NOT drilled into my head that I have to, HAVE to, reach home by 7 because we were expecting some guests and they'd need me to help around the house.
On Monday too on favourite bus 96 I saw a girl in the seat in front of me reading. A story book. Believe me I was probably gazing from behind her at the paragraphs with such loving eyes that if she had turned, she'd IMMEDIATELY close the book and donate it to me cause I'd convinced her enough I need it more than she does.
I really missed reading.
I keep wishing to go to the libr and pick up a book but then I'd tell myself No, I should read my readings/notes/do this that instead and well yea at the end of the day I'd still be doing nothing la I'm really lousy like that.
Anw.. 12 noon today marks the end of the all tests/essays. HURRAH HURRAH.. Stayed up the whole night la stupid man I TOLD myself over and over to start early.. I better learn my lesson soon BECAUSE I SO DO NOT wanna get that splitting headache I got this morning ever again ah.. But at this point in time I'm praying and praying I'd do good for those essays/ tests..
Pls God, I'll be good...------------
"Guess I'll go for a walk," said Topper. "I'm in need of a bit of a change."
"There'll be roast for dinner”, replied Mrs Topper. “Lamb," she added as
she left the room. "You like lamb."
Mr Topper winced as he collected his hat and stick. Why should he be thus openly reminded that he liked lamb? Couldn’t a person creep up on a roast and surprise it some time? As a matter of fact, he was not particularly lustful for lamb, or at least he would strive hereafter to disassemble his emotions.
But all he said was “Good!” The exclamation point stuck in his throat.
