doesn't feel like a monday at all. i feel so zoned and out of it. it's like i can't seem to concentrate on anything, so hard to stay focused.

today saw the launch of scgs's first ever mandarin month, though most of us secretly hope it'd be the last. for that, we had to stay in school to watch some horribly torturous programme. i thought the hosts were trying too hard to speak properly in mandarin, making them sound quite bad really. as if that wasn't bad enough, we were made to attend a briefing for our activities next week- world trade games, rock climbing at ri and collecting old clothing and newspaper for charity. this lasted till 4 because the teachers were so incredibly long-winded. ugh.

finally home and happy, long enough to realise i have much differentiation homework to do. it's really not so bad, merely tedious and repetitive.

life really sucks now. i can't wait for the march holidays, even if it's only a week long. need a break from the total monotony and routine of school. i wish i could be more enthusiastic about school, i really do. but it's really hard to stick to routine and be content but i guess, life is such. the human mind works in strange ways. when one is young and innocent, we just wish we could hurry up and grow up but when we finally do, we want just the opposite. but i digress, time to go get started on homework. oh joy!
