I have really nothing much to blog about during the holidays. I can't even think of a title for this post. It's probably just to assure people that my blog is still alive. Somehow, we complain about life when half of it is taken up by some activity like going to school, but it becomes frigging boring when we take away that half. So we double that other half to get one whole, and you get 2x sleeping, 2x playing, and for some people, ∞x eating. And then our parents complain that we're getting lazy. But i did go back to school two days ago, for some briefing about the Humanities programme by Mr Hon, our principal. But just one bus stop away from where i boarded, the bus (a TIBS one) broke down. I think it was a problem with the wipers not wiping. Then, the bus driver got out into the rain to fiddle around with some stuff outside the bus, then came back in again, pressed a few buttons, then went out again. And the cycle repeated about 6 times, while we, the poor passengers, could only stone inside the bus. I heard an auntie telling her friend, "Don't get off, else you'll have to pay 60 cents, not worth it." A couple of passengers left, though. After about 15 mins, the driver finally gave up and printed complimentary tickets, after which he finally announced that the bus had broken down and asked us to leave, handing out the tickets to each one of us as we got off. At least I got one extra free trip. But 45 cents for wasting 20 minutes of my life, especially since there was a briefing by the principal, isn't such a good deal. And when I finally got to school about 10 mins late, I found out that Mr Hon was just telling us and gathering feedback about his plans to introduce China Studies to the Humanities Programme, under the reason/excuse that it would be beneficial to us, yet it wouldn't affect our grades since it was "just a small component". And we were dismissed 15 mins later. What a waste of time. <3 China, the rain and wipers. |
