It's the day after Christmas. For Americans, it's Boxing Day, the day when they open their Christmas presents, but for us, its just another square (or rectangle) with a number on the calendar. I guess its because Singaporeans are just too kiasu to leave their presents waiting for a day before they open them, so that if the present isn't something nice, they can quickly rewrap it and give it to someone else on the very same day. But that's provided they even celebrate Christmas in the first place. There's been nothing much to do today. There's no newspapers today, since the people from The Straits Times have decided to follow their tradition to slack the day after a public holiday. Its rather odd why they've put off their holidays for one day, but since its an international code of practice, i guess they have no choice but to refrain from being kiasu and using up their holiday present - a holiday from work - immediately. As the saying goes, no news(papers) is good news. Well, not quite. Today's also the anniversary for the tsunami a couple of years back which costed many lives and money. But i won't elaborate too much on that; im sure everyone knows all too well about it. Talking about water and flood, it's been raining non-stop again for the whole of today. And the weather forecast for tomorrow goes like this: Morning - Rain; Afternoon - Stormy rain; Night - Rain. I just hope the sky clears up before school reopens - I hate having to carry an extra umbrella in my bag. Ah well, at least there's TV. I spammed TV programmes for one-and-a-half hours earlier tonight (a rare break from my holiday schedule of SCO and blogging). It started with a half-hour of the sitcom Phua Chu Kang (Pte Ltd.), then another half-hour of Mr Bean, and then finally Just For Laughs gags. (Lol, all funny shows.) But i think "Merry Christmas Mr Bean" was the best, like always. Rowan Atkinson ftw. It's been a boring day and a boring post (as usual). But at least there's one piece of good news: Ben has revived his blog, with 2 posts in 4 days! Now that's what i call revival. And thus, he has hereby been removed from the Dead Blogger's Society. Plus, not forgetting our two new class bloggers on the block - Hubert and Julian. Well, Julian's blog has been around for quite a long time, it's just that it's only surfaced quite recently. Hopefully you guys don't end up in the Society too quickly, though. ;) And i shall end this rojak post without a proper conclusion. End. |
