In Singapore, there is little to do in the holidays. Well, you could for one go out with your friends, but for me I don't have that many friends to go out with because most are still struggling with exams in NUS and SMU and reminding them that you have finished exams as an NTU student is not the way to go if you want to be an emphatic friend. Emphatic friends are good because when you are short on cash and there is no ATM in sight, they become your ATMs.
You could get some extra sleep. But this is the thing about sleep. You only want more of it every morning when you wake up. You never want it at night when you should be sleeping. Why is that so? I have no idea. The way the human body works is retarded.
You could go overseas. Unfortunately, everyone in Singapore is rich this year and all the travel agencies are booked out. Unless you are richer than the average already rich Singaporean and can afford to pay double to go to the same places, or you had booked your holiday months in advance, you can't get a ticket to go just about anywhere now. Except to perhaps Malaysia, but do you really want to go there?
You could go shopping. But as usual, there is the cashflow problem. The only way to solve that problem is to work. Do you want to work? Here's the problem with working. When you work, you got money but no time to spend. When you go shopping, you got time but no money to spend. How to have money and time to spend? Find a rich (and preferably stupid) boyfriend/girlfriend.
You could catch up on all the television, dramas and entertainment that you have neglected during school term. That is what I have been doing, only that in reality its unhealthy to watch shows for the whole day. Not to mention that at the rate I am going I will soon run out of good shows to watch. Now that its the holidays, I suddenly have a lot of time.
You could go back to NTU for CCAs and practice. The horror! Ok enough said about that.
And finally, you could do what I did today, which was to watch a movie. Only problem? Where are all the good movies? I actually nearly fell asleep in a cinema today, which I have never done in my life. The movie was that bad. When it is full of gunfire and you still find yourself falling asleep, maybe you shouldn't bother to watch movies until better ones come out. Not to mention that it is expensive to watch movies nowadays. Its cheaper to just watch junk on pirated VCDs. I'm all for paying to watch good movies, but if the movie is junk, go ahead and buy the pirated VCDs. That way you make sure that the directors never get a budget to make such crap again, because they are still busy paying off the debts from the junk they last made.
But one thing is for sure. The hols may be overrated but school life in NTU still sucks worse.
