Well, school is over, at least this term. At least 2 teachers told us to take a rest before studying, which my parents obviously think is unnecessary for me. About 2 teachers told us to retry the common test questions. All gave us holiday homework.
Anyway, today we had even more interviews - so many that I can't remember what anyone said already. I still feel that there's no "qi fen" or "atmosphere" as there has been previously. I suspect this is because interviews were held in the late afternoon or evening for me last time, so it was more interesting.
I remember how in 2006 when we ran, the exco candidates had their interviews in the morning, and after that we went to Sheena's house to paint a seniors' farewell banner. In 2007 the candidates didn't do anything, but the newly elected exco, me and Sheena also did the banner.
Today I planned simply to go out for lunch and venture to HMV to use my voucher for some DBSK vcd or something, and as we were at the bus stop they unexpectedly asked me where I wanted to go for lunch. I was really confused, and it took some time before I realised they sort of wanted to celebrate my birthday!
I didn't expect them to, so I was surprised, and I think it's partially because it's usually me pushing to buy presents for the comm members on their birthdays this year, so when (obviously) I didn't get their emails, it didn't occur to me at all. We went to Fish & Co beside Park Mall, and they paid for me!!! Though in the end I lent Sheena $10 because she didn't bring enough money.
The present Sheena got me was - A STUFF TOY COW! I've been wanting one since we went to Italy in 2006, when CK bought his cow. Thanks so much, Sheena! XW also gave me a present yesterday - this Chinese book with LAME JOKES. Extremely lame!
I'm not used to receiving presents nor giving presents, so I'm really happy. Also because this year, my birthday's on a Sunday, and in the holidays, so no one would be celebrating except my family. I'm still getting my durian and Sakae Sushi, I hope.
I didn't find any jokes, but here's a quote I found by an author I like:
The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. - Madeleine L'engle.
And I hope that'll be mostly true, because turning eighteen doesn't mean I want to forget important things that happened when I was nine, twelve or fifteen. Not that my memory's very good, but you get the idea.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
