Summer Holidays

My first ever summer holidays have just started. Stretching a full 4-month duration, it will be the second longest holiday I ever remember, after my 6-month-post-SPM holidays.

I was so damn excited about my summer holidays that I peed everytime I thought of it. Months before the start of my holidays, I've already made fantasies on how to spend it. Unfortunately, things have been going extremely wrong for me from day 1.

1. Movies

Summertime is when every major film distributor roll out their blockbusters. Angels & Demons, Transformers, Harry Potter, Terminator, Night at the Museum are just a few of the few highly anticipated hits coming out before September 09.

So choosing a movie to watch is not a problem. It didn't take long enough for me to realise that trying to get friends to watch with you is even harder. It took me days to settle on a controversial outing with four of my friends, all of whom are still enjoying their holidays. I woke up 7am in the morning ON A SUNDAY just so I could celebrate my birthday with my college friends. I spend an average of 15 hours a week at home, hoping my friends will make it worthwhile.

However, right now, I don't think I wanna do those too often.

2. Vacation!!!

A lot of my friends are spending this summer overseas! One of my classmates was actually "country-hopping" across few countries in South East Asia, terminating at Bali. Some have gone to UK, some to the US, some planning to go Australia. Nothing but endless bliss. Until September that is.

Or until WHO decided to raise the pandemic level to 6. Dozens of People are getting the H1N1 virus from Melbourne as a souvenir, it seems. And they get a full 10 days with their beloved souvenir after touching down in Malaysia.

3. Computer G4M35!!!

Well don't tell me I can get H1N1 by sitting in front of my computer. With my beloved computer, I can play all sorts of addictive games of any type. MMORPG, online flash games, Facebook games...

Oops!!! Disconnected!!! If anybody's more efficient at controlling my gaming habit than my mum, it's TMnet. And they've done it again.

4. Industrial Training

I need to do it to graduate with MEng. At least I get to keep my bored and rotting brain active. Dammit, hitting the age of 20, I can almost feel my brain decaying by the minute. I gladly sent out more than 20 applications for an internship position.

No one replied me for five whole months.

Stupid economy Crysis crisis.
