What is a Break?

Can anyone tell me what does "recess week" means?

No? Ok, never mind.

Let me explain to you. *ahem*

If you go by definition per word, "recess" means "a time when work or business is stopped for a while", and I guess there's no need for me to define week, right?

So! If you put them together, it literally means work/study/whatever-business-you-are-in is stopped for a week (i.e. SEVEN DAYS).

But do WE or do I get my well-deserved "recess week"?

HAHAHA NO. It's a big fat NO.

*tsk tsk tsk*

The profs were like, "Ooh, you guys rest well during recess week, ok? Dun work too hard."

DUN WORK TOO HARD??!?!?!

You must be kidding me.

Bloody hell. The amount of workload is at its ultimate all-time high. I'm suffocating under the weight of it.

FOUR bloody individual essays/assignment, TWO bloody group projects, and ONE bloody time-consuming 3-day camp (community service project) proposal yet to complete and to be handed up at the end of October.

Tell me, how to "dun work too hard?" *bewildered look*

The recess week has just ended last week, but I don't feel like I've rested well.

In fact, I got so stressed that I went to see doctor for the C-problem. What is C-problem? Well, I will tell you when I see you. All I can say is it is a disease caused by stress, lack of sleep and proper meals and exercise, and more stress. *sighz*

I'm not trying to gain sympathy here. Really.

Anyway, the main point of this entry is...

Since I've got so many things on my hand, the last thing I should spend my time on is volunteerism, right?

Wrong.

I spent almost the whole of Saturday doing voluntary work at J8. OK la... I'm not saying voluntary work is a waste of time. IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE. SUPPORT IT! GO BE A VOLUNTEER! (but only if you can afford the time.)

I was like 'forced' to go help out cos there was a lack of helpers.

And the nature of the voluntary work?

To celebrate the birthday of a pink elephant.

WA.HA.HA.HA. So meaningful right.

Apparently so, but to the kids and their kiasu parents nia (there were free gifts, you know)...

*shakes head*

Am I dumb or dumb - quoted from Glenda, who also went.

*tsk tsk tsk*

Luckily, we managed to 'excuse' ourselves halfway through the event.

But I shall admit, it was quite fun actually.

The only 'souvenir' I brought home...

My duty was to paste the messages from the public to Sharity the Elephant on the Cabury Wall of Message of Care. I pasted 99% of it. Hard work ar~~~

Ta-da~! The shou xin gong of the day. Not that man in white la, duh! That pink one...

She's got her own birthday cake as well. And it was a bloody big one.

Some magic performance. No comments on that.

That's it. There goes my Saturday (29/9).

Doctor advised me to relax so the C-problem can be cured. I'm trying.

I tried by building my relationship with the TV first. I neglected the existence of TV ever since school started. But recently I am hooked on the 9pm show on Channel 8: Metamorphosis (i think it's spelt like that)... My gawd. What a sadistic show. With all the pervertic killings and dismemberings by psychotic men... *tsk tsk* Nice show. Rui En is so coooooolllll. *hahahaz* And there's Thomas too. *hee*
