My holidays are dwindling

You know when you're growing old when...
... you start not to notice the holidays because there's no difference between a holiday and a school day.
... you need to take out your planner/calendar when people want to fix dates to go out with you.
... you're awash with reunions with ex-classes. Many, many ex-classes.
... the birthday parties you attend now doesn't involve colourful decorations and guests wearing pointy hats.
... your somewhat youthful pimples start to disappear.

Not that I dislike being old or anything, but argh the change kills me because no one is forever the same person. (speaking of change I'm gonna leave my hair long, flat and layered now—wayyy emo.)

but whatever, anyway,
the holidays are here!!
It has finally dawned on me that I have 2 months, two months of a big supposed break (really it's a change-of-activities that is parading around as a long vacation). Heck— 2 months and I still don't have time to squeeze to take a short break with my family to Malaysia (and we were so looking forward to spending a whole week in Melbourne. Yes we do have our wild, empty dreams too.) Looks like I'll be spending my holidays alone doing my portfolio for CAP, doing my holiday homework, going for camp after camp after camp, at my class chalet, probably at a post-chalet barbeque, going for choir practice, going for debate, going for grad night meetings, etc. (and you can fit 'dying of exhaustion' nicely into that list too, though I'm not sure how long that would take.) At least I don't totally hate all of these activities.

Xinmin team 1 will be speaking in public at the second round of the auditions for The Arena! So exciting! (but if I were them, a truckful of supporters could kill me with anxiety) But there'll be banners all right :)
