And we have an update

It's been quite a while since I last updated, over a week and a half if I remember correctly. However, I have a very good reason for this. You see, I had to complete this...thing called the Pendidikan Moral Kerja Amal. I'm pretty sure most of you would know what this is, but for those who don't, it's sorta like a Moral project. A bloody tedious and annoying one at that, for it involves writing eight essays and four reports. The essays weren't that hard, but there was a specific way that you have to write them. The good thing was that we could write about anything, but you had to include one of the '36 holy values' in this essay, and my teacher wants it written in the same way you do in an exam, and that's an arse to do because you have to get everything right. Then there's the reports. Each report's gotta have an objective, preparations, what you actually did and the uh...effect of that thing you did. And there are keywords that you MUST use. And you have to do reports on the most ridiculous things, like your parent's birthdays. And then you need at least four photos. And here's the really absurd part - you need either a certificate or letter(which you type and get your parents, teacher, et al to sign)of acknowledgement to prove that you actually did it. It's like as though the four pictures aren't proof enough. Last but not least, there's the deco part, the one where you have to get creative, which is something I'm not very good at, and this took me the longest to do. So what I did was the 'cut and paste method', and when I was done I thought it looked pretty good. Until my dad walked by and said that it looked like something you did in pre-school.

Anyway enough about that stupid project. I'm not even done with it yet because of some stuff I need to clarify with the teacher. And it's probably because of this dumb thing that I didn't enjoy my holidays as much as I hoped to. I didn't go out as much as I would've liked to. Why? Because my mom wants to see me do some studying before she lets me do anything else. And I spent most of the holidays on the bloody project, so I didn't do much studying. I'm a really good time waster too so I spent most of the free study time I had stoning. Had band practice on Tuesday. It went pretty much okay. C'mon, them form threes are pros.

It's really hard to believe that school starts today. Time flies when you've got nothing to do. Okay I'm gonna go watch Jumper now.
