"Happy" Hols?

Right. Happy indeed. If you call being given maths homework during a 10-DAYS RAYA HOLIDAY happy, then, yes, I will be enjoying the hols.

I know the homework is for our own good and it will help us answer the questions in the exam and stuff, but this is no ordinary holiday. It's raya...helllloooooo! Maybe you think just because you don't celebrate raya, you want to pull us in it too? Maths was the only subject that gave us homework.

So, exam coming soon. What am I suppose to do? Oh yeah. Study. Now let me roll my EYE. Sure, two days ago, I had the courage to open up my textbook and write down notes. But, yesterday, when my maths teacher came in, she said she has a little holiday present to give us. Geez, thanks, we appreciate them very much.

On to the next problem.

My parents, especially my mum, seems to be having problems about me hanging out with Manda. I do admit that Manda and I are total opposites. Too many differences. Some people would wonder, including aunts and uncles, how ever did both of us got along? If I have to write down a list of our differences, it's just gonna waste my time. Whenever I have a sleepover at my grandpa's, I'll go to Manda's first, before walking together to my grandpa's.

Mum would complain, "Why can't you just go straight to Ni Aki? Just who is Manda to you? She's not the one who raised you! You don't have to listen to her every order! She's too socialised! She knows too many boys! Girls like her, what happened to this generation?! Blablalablabla...."

Well, I wish I can just answer all that, you know. But I can't. Well, lets see. Manda is my cousin, the closest one in age. Sure, she didn't raise me, but she was the one I turn to when I have problems, and no, I don't listen to her every order. It's just because I want to, yeah, I want to hang out with her more than I want with my parents and stuff, just because we have that...understanding? I don't know. So what if she knows many boys? So what if she likes going out? So what? I remembered when I was still a kid, many of my older cousins treated me like a baby, I was a bully magnet at my old school, and soooo darn shy. But well, things changed since the past 2 years I've been hanging out with her.

Right. I've blabled too much. And I don;t wanna do maths. Shit. Opps. There comes the magic word.
