Here and now

I know this is stupid, but I miss the KTV lounges my dad used to bring us to. The not-so ritzy glitzy places with peanut shells littered all over the carpeted floor; where they serve (supposedly cheap) beer and fried, greasy finger food. (Note: Not K-box!!!)

The neon signs hanging overhead with roaches scuttling across the dirty tiles, escaping into drains that emit an awful stench. The sight that greets us when we get out of our comfortable four-wheel ride. And the few old men that sit on portable chairs, all toothless and wrinkly!

Most of all, I miss the golden oldies. We used to sit on the scratchy PVC couch overflowing with disgusting yellow stuffing. Those were the days.... Except for the parts when my dad gets nostalgic and starts belting weird Canto-pop and Hokkien songs. I try hard not to flinch.

Timeless songs! I need to find karaoke favourites for nostalgic purposes. When I sit in my room and think back to how my father really sucked at covering certain songs. OMG. (Which is why I NEVER attempted singing into the mic. Kthxbye.)

Damn, to think I complained about "family outings" to the karaoke lounge. My dad and mum bought me beer on the last KTV outing.

Okay cool, I just realized I actually have acceptable (most of the time) parents. They let me manage my own finances, and I generally have quite a lot of freedom. Which might not be the case if I were to fail my mid year exams. It's okay, I have a plan. Last minute studying helps... a bit. I AM TRYING :)

I finally completed my essay on Venice - a month late? And I handed in my first A. Math assignment of the year. Good job *pats myself on the back* It's a start. I hope I actually accomplish more. Like actually getting around to making notes for the upcoming mid year exams. Which will aid in my prelims, and eventually my O levels... It's okay to fail the mid year exams. Just as long as I do (relatively) well for my O's. I hope I can anyway.

Dong just gave me this link. LOL. He's doing reporting for The Straits Times. He told me to watch to the end, where this jovial old chap talks about bringing his wife to a hotel for a sexy time. HAHAHAHA. I laughed okay. OMG.

I feel like I'm always losing things.
Friends even. All the people who matter to me. They've left....or are in the process of leaving.
