Personally, I think the timing of the public holiday is bad, particularly for those of us who started school yesterday. I've barely gotten my engine started, and I hit a holiday, and the engine went dead again.

How to break out of holiday mood liddat?

So I decided to make good use of today. Went to Popular (20% SALES!) to pick up my literature texts. Pity I only remembered one -- Woman In White -- as premature aging caught up with me. I was at the Classics section, leisurely searching for the book I wanted, running my finger along the rows and rows of books (I get high on books, seriously), and then when I finally found it (my finger landing on the THICK spine of the book), I promptly felt faint. When I picked it up and discovered the micro-small print of the text, my knees went weak.

Erm. Better start reading soon, is all.

I kinda like the idea of National Day celebration in various parts of Singapore. It felt more happening, more interactive, and less of a ceremonial thing, and more of a fun thing for those energetic Singaporeans. Moi, on the other hand, stayed at home to plow through book. Sad life of the undergraduate, and people have been asking me if I want to do my honours year. o_O

My mother was switching through all the TV channels when she suddenly gave a sharp, angsty shriek and declared that it's all NDP! Invasion of the mass propaganda (though not propaganda anymore if recognised and acknowledged)! No escape!

Aiyah. Liddat then can claim NDP got high viewership mah.

Lucky I got SCV ah.

Not that I don't appreciate NDP lar. We still leave the channel on, to listen to those Singapore songs (except this year one very bad). Then rest of the time, watch SCV.

In any case, Happy National Day to all. I hope you enjoy your holiday.
