Once a 'busy' body..

For the last few weeks, I was as busy as a bee. A 'busy' body, one would say. I remembered squeezing my brain for Kiran’s ‘PUNCTUATION IS CRUCIAL’ essay questions, anxiously preparing for PTE quizzes that keep on coming non-stop and staying up at ridiculous hour with my group mate to complete projects and presentation. There was once, I only managed an hour nap before a test. Everything seems so ‘traffic jam’ hectic, so unorganised that it turned out a horrible experience. Assignments fell out of place and with time as our biggest enemy, pressure arose within and tension was all on the air.

But now, as I am reminiscing my last ‘remains-of-the-days’ in the faculty, it’s odd to believe that I actually miss it.

Morning's blue

I woke up at 10.30 and realised how fortunate I was to be the only one at home. Had my mother still home, I’d be forced to undergo a long lecture of “how to be an anak dara’. The most hateful part is that they are always right. I mean if I have a daughter, I wouldn’t want her to rise after the sun.

So here’s the story of my life. Waking up blur and subconscious, I drag my feet to shower. Make myself a cup of Nescafe (caffeine is my drug) and a pair of toasted bread with kaya. I had my breakfast in front of the television, watching E! and wonder, what a great way to start a day. No nagging, no telling of today’s chores. Just me and Ryan Seacrest (haha!).

Now that I am halfway to a ‘three months’ semester break, I wonder what am I to do. I have had this image of a beach in my mind for a long time (its funny to think that beach is a homonym to bitch). , especially after I get my first stressful grade from Mr. Kiran ( if there’s a ‘Miss Awful’ in the Faculty of Education, it’s him alright). But I learn to adapt to his strict marking, turns out I did quite okay‘lar..’. There’s something about him that makes me want to be ‘bouncy’ like a spring, you know. That every time someone pressed it hard to the ground, it always bounces back up. He makes me that, makes me don’t wanna give up. There was once, I said “Sir, I’ll try to my best” and he said “ Every time someone said that means he fails to his best, so never say you’ll TRY to do you best.” “Always say, I’ll DO my best.”

Where am I? Oh yeah, beach. As much as I love having my feet in sand while seeing the sun sets in the ocean, and dive into the blue only to be surprised by a lot of other colours…the green seaweed, the purple corals and rainbows of fish (Awwwhhh..). I think I’ll pass ‘lah’. Besides, I have been to Redang last year and it was fantastic. If you must know, the best artwork is not stuck in some gallery or museum or having Picasso or Da Vincci in it. The best painting, I must say, after going to Redang, is actually UNDERWATER! And the best thing is.. its 3D and its cheap! I find that an experience is never as the same touch as if you experience it twice.

I still don’t know what to do for the holiday. My educational side suggests that I should take classes to improve my skills but my lazy side prefer staying at home, stuff myself in the comforter while enjoying a good film. It’s hard to have a lot of sides; you never know what to decide. I think I should write a book entitled, ‘Confession of a Split Personality’. I don’t know.. Hurrmm, but for now, my lazy side seems to make more SENSE!
