Haha. On another unrelated note, today was an okay day. Classes were really long. So glad it's over!!! It was really helpful and everything, but it was just very long and exhaustive you know!!!!!! So yea thought I would relax today and start my hardcore revision from tomorrow onwards. I must really use this holiday to bring myself up to speed with all the subjects, namely religion!!!!!!! Jia you!! :S Ray! You also have to work hard la!! OK???? If you work hard, then I have more more more motivation to do better lo. Jia you!!! :D If you can do it, so can I, and vice versa! ;) 


Watched Criminal Minds on tv just now. It's my favourite crime series lo.. out of all the CSIs and such. It's the best. Mainly cuz of the black dude and Garcia, how close they both are and how supportive they are of each other, and also the psychologist young dude who's so intelligent. Really love it oh. But sometimes the stuff on their show creep me out, so scary!!! Especially when I'm home alone at night and I'm watching it. So scared that people like the psychos in their shows exist where I am!!! :O :O :O Eeeks!!!! 


Today is Good Friday. I didn't go to mass, Elaine went with her host family. I don't know why I didn't feel like going. I guess I kinda think that it's kinda pretentious. Like people feel obliged to go rather than they go cuz they want to. The number of people who turn up for these special masses are like triple or more the normal amount lo. And I guess it's also cuz the habit was never built in me by my family. But anyway. Elaine said that she kinda cried, in front of her host mum too!! Cuz she said that she felt really homesick. She saw all the families and the kids and she was reminded of how her family would always go to Good Friday mass without fail, and how they would attend Saturday evening mass every week too. It was like a family thing. It's true you know, I've always felt that church is an opportunity where you can spend time with your family lo. Learnt that from Even Stevens (I THINK), the show on Disney/Nickelodeon or some channel. And the teenage son or something didn't wanna go to church. And the priest/pastor had a talk with him when the pastor was over for dinner. And he said something like 'For me, church was always a time for family. Every weekend, all of us would set aside some time to attend church together. But now, I have no one. My family is all gone (kinda thing I think). Your family won't be around forever too. Think about that'. :) It's true. You know I miss my parents too. I worry cuz I don't talk to them very often. When I'm in school and not with my phone, they're awake, when I'm off school, they're asleep. :( Like haven't had a proper conversation in a while la. Haizzz. Worried worried. A lot of people take it for granted lo. The presence of their family I mean. I do too. But I try not to. Family is super important. :) Don't wait for misfortune/fate to befall upon you to realize how lucky and blessed you are. Appreciate what you have. Appreciate their presence!!!! So another good thing about this week of holiday is that I can chat with them cuz I have no school. 


Oh well. Gonna sleep soon. :D Can cook my indomee tomorrow!!! FINALLY! :D
