island tales #52

today, i was 20 minutes earlier than yesterday, but 20 minutes later than all the other days. reason: i dropped my phone yesterday, and it is now sulking by refusing to make any sounds. persuading it with chocolates and offers of shopping trips has failed miserably, which leads me to suspect that the phone is definitely not female.

heh. kiddingggggg.

note to self: find an alarm clock.

once again i'm halfway through another week! it's a nice cold wednesday morning, and if i was in utp now instead of working, i would most probably still be asleep. zzzz. actually, come to think of it, the chances of me actually retaining this 'sleep-at-ten-and-wake-up-at-six' routine once i get back to uni is going to be really low.

i've never been a studious person, though i always try to get my work done at the last minute on time. yes, i'm a procrastinator when it comes to studies!

way back in school, i usually finish my homework before going home (mostly because they got in the way of playing computer games), but for those years when i went to the shop in the afternoons, my parents would give me workbooks to do as extra work. and almost everyday without fail, i would sleep for almost half the afternoon after lunch (zzz), and upon waking up would watch cartoons until 5. the work got squeezed into the period between the end of the cartoons (usually at 5.30) and dinner (usually at 6).

those were the days!

also, i guess i've always seen my dad as the "haiya as long as the work gets done no need to study so hard life is short have fun but make sure it gets done that's all" kinda guy, but come to think of it i dont remember ever hearing him telling me anything like that. probably coz stories of his youth (from my aunt at the shop) usually paint him as someone with that philosophy. my mum's more of the "u have to be hardworking else u'r gonna fail then u know!!!", but it's probably more of a parenting rhetoric i think, coz i never did take it seriously. :P hahaha!
