Who doesn't?
They are best to be taken on a hot, lazy afternoon, preferably somewhere quiet and comfy.
It is so irresistible, sometimes people steal a taste of it in the LTs. Illegally, of course.
I adore siestas. And no, it is not some exotic mexican snack.

Why am I blogging ...
... when I have nothing to blog about?

Oh yah. I got back my chem paper today. Nothing fancy, just a solid, really fortunate 45/100. Which means I get the pleasure of announcing to my parents, "Hey! I passed my very first chem test!"
I am in no hurry to get back my other papers, ESPECIALLY GP and E.lit. And math and bio. Wait. That just means everything.
This morning, I was stricken with an acute bout of Monday's blues (despite the day being Wednesday). I don't think I can feel the rationale for coming to school anymore. Maybe I need more time to adjust? 7 weeks of no school can do wonders.
Hmm ... just today I realised Stella has the same thoughts as me regarding XX. But what can we do about this? I guess not aggravating it further is a good place to start. Sorry for all the secrecy, as our lives are at stake.
I want Harry Potter!!! I wish 21st will come quickly. Hah, I think I'm more excited about the 7th book than my 17th birthday.

My birthday's coming soon!
Yup. Which means I'm another step closer to maturation XD.
Hmm ... people always say that we gain freedom once we reach adulthood. We'll spread our wings when we hit 21.
But is it real? Or is the reverse true? We lose freedom once we turn 21.
Two weeks ago, I met this uber-cute baby on the train. With really pretty brown eyes. And when he/she (gender undeterminable) saw me, he/she broke into a megawatt smile, with every single teeth (not that he has a lot) showing, as if I'm no complete stranger but a long-time-no-see friend.
A few days ago, there was this little cacausian boy with a haircut worthy of Paul Twohill in NTUC. He stuck out his tongue and shot me with imaginary guns. Complete with "bang bang!" sound effects.
As a child we can do anything, and people will still smile at us and say it is adorable. Ok, let's go back to example one. A really cute baby smiles at you. (Aww ...) Or, a middle-aged man in a business suit smiles at you.(OMG! ti ko pek!)
Or the second example. Boy pretends to shoot you. (Mischievous eh!) Man pretends to shoot you. (Cold sweat. Takes out handphone, *dials 999* "Help!)
The freedom kids have - freedom from others.
If we do something evil (not too extreme, of course), the adults will dismiss it as innocence. If we do wrong, we get forgiven more easily. We can do the can-can dance in public without feeling shame.
It's not just freedom from the burdens of adulthood, but too more importantly, from ourselves.
Why don't adults do the can-can dance in public? Because they fear of being laughed at by people. People will think that's crazy and will call Woodbridge or something. It is not because they can't do it, but rather they don't want to face the consequences. Their hurdle is themselves.
That's why children can do it. Dancing in public is not an embarassment. Smiling at random people is not harassment. Not being restricted by yourselves and others-isn't that a better definition of absolute freedom?

All fun's over.
Tomorrow will be the last day of enrichment week ... and I going to end it by attending a funeral. Life always throws surprises at you when you least expect it. Hey, that's why they are called surprises. So weird.
So anyway, I'm on quite close terms with this friend in ACJC, whose father passed on not long ago. So this complicates the matter a lot more. I'm torn between giving silent support or active consolation. Of course I prefer the former, for being not good with words. =______=
I'm turning emo already.
