aloha from the computer in school. yesh, holing myself up in the computer cluster and hoping to God that i get some work done. the air con's delicious and i've got corrine may in the cd player. not too bad.. considering the fact, that i was really dreading today because i had to wake up early and deal with tardy group mates. it's a blessing in disguise that simple things like a cd and a little bit of air con can perk me up so much. I owe you God thanks..

in fact, i'm recuperating my lost energy levels so quickly that i agreed to go out with my family (parents and sister, bro in law) for dinner. i'm not the person that's up for family outings. most of the time i feel sponged out and neglected during family trips, plus i hate to conform to things i have a clear mind that i dislike. we're going to brix at marina for an american buffet. *groan*. buffets scare me coz i always overeat and get a tummy ache. i think this time i'll see all tt food and just lose my appetite.

what i'm craving for right now is a couple of good ole traditional chinese dishes. steam fish, oyster sauce kailan, roast duck, a bowl of fish maw soup and a steaming bowl of hot rice. give me a pair of chopsticks and i'll shove the little grains of rice into my mouth like nothing... but i don't think it's meant to be today. coz they've got a voucher and tt's why they're going brix.

yesh i'm evil slagging my family like that. my friend was just telling me the other day that it's ok to him if his family doesn't understand him but what compensates for it all, is respect i guess. i don't know about respect in my family. half of the time i feel too afraid and choked up to say how i really feel. i need a guinea pig to take the first onslaught of shouting and crying. then i'll be calm enough. my poor darling...

well i'll try my best not to think too much about the whole mess again becoz sometimes i know that i tend to exaggerate and blow things out of proportion.

but getting back to work?? *grimace*...
