suitcase skeletons

Slurping down Tau Fu Fa while im typing this out.


My dad called me this afternoon, in between my classes and mentioned I had 2 more free tickets to Dubai.

"why don't you come over for the weekend?"
"you mean, fly over on Friday, sleep for for a whole day due to jetlag and fly back the next day?"
"come on your next holiday then"
" I JUST ENDED A 3 WEEK BREAK, all I did was rot in the house"
"you should have told me"
" I did! mommy said no point me coming since I wont do anything there either"

cheh.

Anyway, I canceled my Penan trip. Despite my unhealthy cravings for it.

reasons ;-

a) It IS Raya. Missing two Rayas consecutively when my parents are actually back in the country to celebrate it is just, well, selfish.

b) I don't have days off from college for Raya, and I really dont want to miss class. I promised to work 150% this year and no absent days are inclusive of that pact.

c) My ticket wasn't a firm ticket anyway.

d) After contacting various scholarship bodies and finding out about scholarship admissions being at awkward times of the year, I'll have plenty of time ( almost a year off ) before I start my tertiary education. Ample time to travel , or possibly work during that study hiatus


It seems many of my friends, ex-high-school friends and random strangers ( at driving school / sister's sewing classmate's son ) are going overseas. Everyone seems to be going somewhere , or gone. Canada, US, Uk, Russia, New Zealand. Two of my exhighschool classmates have started their degree in Engineering and 2 others in Pharmacy. Many of my classmates are hopping on the Studying Abroad Bandwagon too. It's like a sign, a reminder of why I'm doing my A-levels and ultimately my goal and aspirations. Its annoying though knowing that Im entirely capable yet still not getting holier results.
