Holidaying

I have been home for three weeks; two more days will make it four weeks.

For the whole month I didn't update my blog, many things had happened. For natural disasters, the Myanmar cyclone, the Sichuan earthquake, and recently the Japan earthquake. In Malaysia, the fuel hike (RM 1.92 --> RM 2.70), electricity price hike, and by extension, inflation. What to do? Fuel hike, everyone still drives; electricity price hike, everyone still uses electricity; inflation, everyone still need to buy things.

For my three months holiday, i had used up 3 weeks in Singapore for the Entrepreneurship classes. My last 3 week of holidays will be spent in Singapore as well, to prepare for the FOC. For the approximately one and a half month in between, my original holiday plan:

1. Read newspaper everyday
2. Read at least two books
3. Get a dip in the swimming pool at least once a week
4. Meet some old school friends

Planning and doing are obviously two different things. Till now, I managed to read newspaper everyday, although sometimes late at night. I had read more than 2 books, but for the 2 books I bought at the book fair (which I intended to read during the holiday), I hardly finish reading half of the 1st book. For swimming, I swam only twice during the past three weeks. OK... I spent too much time on computer again...

Last Friday, after postponing for quite a while, I finally met with two of my secondary school friends. Both of them are working in their holidays, while I am sleeping, eating, reading, computering... (which they termed "ideal life"). One of them tried to recruit me in helping his work. Actually, my mom had been recruiting me to help in her kindergarten for the past three weeks. I had been reluctant to help in the kindergarten, especially when it deals with young children. Moreover, "working" is not in my holiday plan (see above). Spending time at home is fun, but would be quite boring after some time, especially when alone. I think I shall go to school tomorrow... see if I can wake up in time lah... (which I always fail, btw)
