parents have left for malaysia on friday.

learning to live the single life.
and man, it's not as glamourous as i thought it would be.

one thing about living alone at home : it's always your turn to do the dishes.

and french ended late, cause she was pissed at us.
so ended around.. 10?

took the train down to orchard.

i love orchard road at night.
especially after rainfall.

the bright lights.. the coolness of the air.. the people you see.. the smell.. usually of bad cigarettes and cheap perfume.. the sound of live bands playing in pubs..

it's just so.. different from what it is in the daytime.

and vid decided to be all motherly and demand what i was donig at 11pm on a friday night loitering aruond orchard road.

reached home at around 11.30pm.
had to be awake in 7 hours.
and i was still in my school uniform.

that meant i probably spent 17 hours in my school uniform.
yucks.

was nearing midnight by the time i had showered and eaten dinner.

and i still had to do the dishes.

hmph.

luckily, my dear shan was nice enough to come and stay over after i whined to her about how i was scared of sleeping alone at home.

and we did the dishes together and then watched nip / tuck until i realised that i had to be in school in the next 7 hours.

so we went to bed.
but ended up talking with the lights out.
haha.


realised that through the night, i had grabbed the duvet all for myself.. and poor shan would have probably been freezing.

and shan's quite a sound sleeper. [i guess she has to be, to survive a night in the same bed as me.. from the way i kick and thrash around while sleeping..]

woke up at 6. before my alarm.
think it's my body clock.

had to quietly sneak out of my bed without waking her up, cause i guess she was tired, and i might as well let her sleep a bit more.

i had to open and close the wardrobe doors a million times looking for my jaxoras shirt..
and she still didn't wake up. haha.

and i made breakfast.
for both of us.
all by myself.

*beams*

and then i had to rush off to school. so i had to leave the house.

it was the spotlight drama camp. for kids from the lower income level.

after 10 hours with them, i have sworn off kids for the rest of my life.
they leave me completely drained.

i salute all parents out there.

but the kids were nice when they behaved.
just that they kept bullying me.

hmph.

then when i came back after hissoc, i saw nik and poorna sitting detectedly in the lt while the kids were running amok.

and then i was like.. "ok guys.. can you all promise me that you'll be serious? then we can finish this."

and then they all shut up.

haha. nik was amazed that they actually listened to me.
i was amazed too.

have never really had the chance to interact with people younger than me..
so was quite suprised that i was the one who could actually settle them down..

they're nice kids, i guess. quite cooperative.
just that they talk a lot.
and bully me.
and they asked me if i was a boy.

...

just because i was the tallest among their group leaders doesn't mean that i'm a guy.

and when they had to guess which one of the group leaders was the rugby player, they ALL chose me.

and they thuoght that abs was the soccer captain.

haha.

and in the end, when we were saying our goodbyes before the bus came to take them back.. one of our boys nearly cried.

haha.

so sweet.

he cried cause he was going to miss the camp. and us.

that really made my day.
that someone would actually cry for me.

ok fine. not me.

for abs, nik, poorna and me.

and this little guy had a crush on abigail.
he asked her for her number.
and then when we left, he ran back to us and then went to abigail, and went "i'll sms you.." and then he ran back.

haha.

after that i refused to stop teasing her.
pretty much proves the fact that she's irresistable.

me: eh.. remind me to never have kids..
nik: YES. exactly.
me: ya. take up way too much energy. but ABIGAIL wouldn't mind.. since ABIGAIL has an admirer.. right? ABIGAIL?
abs: eh.. of all the kids, who was the most exasperating?
me: me?
abs: *laughs* yes.

haha.
but it's so cute for this guy 5 years younger than her to have a crush on her.
