Chinese New Year...funny how many New Years I have to go through in one year. There's the normal New Year, then there's the Chinese New Year, then there's Easter... When Jesus rises from the dead it should be a new beginning to the Christian life, right? So how come there's no End Year's Day?

Anyway..never mind. I just got my hongbao yesterday. ^____^ I got $80...pathetic, compared to a certain friend of mine with certainly filthy rich parents who give her about $1000 on CNY. Oh well. My mum told me to save the money for 'future use'. *snort* Yeah, sure. Like it's gonna be a big difference. Like one day, when I have my own car, and then I go to the petrol station, and whoops!, I forgot my wallet - Wow, lucky I still have the eighty dollars that I kept from Chinese New Year 2003!! -___-; Well...I suppose I'm not gonna spend all of it. The most I'll spend of it is about $40 or so, cos there are 2 CDs that I REALLY want to buy - the Lord of the Rings soundtrack (DUH) and Linkin Park's Reanimation. I've been wanting that one since AGES. And besides, I get a limited-edition card in the LOTR CD, so there's no way I'm missing that... :3

I'm in the middle of doing my Home Economics homework right now. We're supposed to do a Task Analysis for this year's practical exam... I have to, um, analyse the task, and research on Indian dishes. This SUCKS. It's only one of the many homework I got for the short 3-day CNY holiday (if it's considered a holiday at all). I have English, and History, and Malay, and Art, and French, and goodness knows what else. Pffftt. Oh yeah, and I have to organise my English file too. I haven't filed anything in it, and my English teacher just HAPPENED to decide that she'll check on our files next week. FABULOUS.

Like homework is the only thing I have to worry about. I have this stupid leadership programme that I have to go to next Saturday, which involves a hike on a hill. How TREMENDOUSLY EXCITING. (Notice the sarcasm here.) I'm going to have such a WONDERFUL time. (And here.) Oh bloody hell, I CAN'T WAIT! (Here too.)

I think I'd better stop rambling now and get back to my Home Economics homework. Let's see, the task is to....
