I like rainy days. The sight and sound of raindrops are so therapeutic. The roaring thunder and flashes of lightning make me feel safe, somehow. Why won’t it rain now? I wonder how it feels like to live in rainy places like Seattle.

I can’t seem to dwell on an issue long enough to properly write something about it; my mind keeps flitting between various thoughts I have, thus the short hiatus.

How do you write an essay outline for such a dull topic as ‘school children should not have long holidays’? The word ‘long’ is so subjective; a week, a month, a year? Knowing that the work you are doing is pointless yet HAVING to do it nonetheless is a classic example of how youths waste their lives away. Talk about vandalism, lepak, yum cha etc. (Some of the ‘vandalised’ walls, if not polluted with obscenities and what-nots, can be quite creative.) To quote Scrooge, bah humbug! I learn more from yum cha sessions and hanging out with friends than sitting down here trying to churn out points for an essay outline or memorising the definitions of system units, LAN, WAN, IP address etc (most of which I dont understand). There, I’ve said it!

Why are some people so righteous, obedient, (insert positive traits) and others so rebellious, free-spirited, lazy (insert not-so-positive traits)? And I find myself leaning towards the latter. I don’t want to be just one mass-produced unit among many; I don’t want to be the end result of our education system. I want much more than that! I have my own thoughts and opinions; I want to be different; I don’t want to conform to the norm and just be well, ordinary. This place, and system, can be so stifling at times.

Wow. I didn’t mean to write about these things. I just wanted to get some thoughts out of my mind. My mind goes crazy when I think too much, and I usually do.

I’m looking forward to CNY (don’t know whether it’ll be my last one here for a long time; ironically, I hope it will), and happy joyful blissful ecstatic moments with family and friends at home.
