Singapore School Holidays.

Hey guys, another week, another post! :)

So, it's the school holidays now right? At least for most people it is, I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays as much as you can, because well as we all know, school holidays in Singapore don't exactly feel like holidays.

Why do I say so? Because we have this very weird, special and annoying as fuck thing called holiday homework. Only available in Singapore. Because schools are so kiasu, they scared you during holiday enjoy too much come back school everything forget. Which is actually correct also. So they jam up your "holidays" with homework and make this new term called "holiday homework".

Want say homework just say homework lah, still add what holiday in front of it, think it sounds nicer ah? End up like no holiday also...

So apart from the actual holiday homework which no one really bothers to do properly or put in effort because we simply cannot give a single flying Merlion, let's talk about other stuff that we as Singapore students do during the holidays.

LEPAK AT TOWN

Probably the most common pastime during school holidays is for teens/students like us to go out with friends to town. Places like Orchard Road, Bugis are extremely crowded during the holidays. Plus now got Great Singapore Sale we all chiong to buy all the stuff that we don't need yet, but because it looks nice and got good offer right, MUST BUY.

SPEND SPEND SPEND

Probably the most annoying thing about holidays is having no proper pocket money/allowance because our parents think. Hm.....you no school right? So don't need give you pocket money right?

HUH???? I never go out with my friends one meh?

So we end up having to sort of beg our parents some times for that extra few dollars(ok maybe ten dollars or more sometimes) just to go out with our friends. Be it movies, arcades, shopping or anything else that costs money. We have to save and scrimp during the holidays and it really sucks.

GOING OUT

No one likes to be left out. No one. And that's why we always hope our friends/classmates will ask us out during the holidays. Even if it's just one person that asks us out we'll still go along because it feels good to know that even when there's no school people still take the effort to ask you out.

But when people go out.....post pictures on twitter, facebook, Instagram and what not....and NEVER ASK US ALONG.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ya lah confirm say that one, BO JIO. In case you're still living in 2000 and have no idea what this means. It simply translates to something like "Never ask me along?" It's when your own friends go out together and freaking never ask you right, that you say this.

It really doesn't feel good when you know that people are aware of your existence but choose not to ask you out. And then for the rest of the day you feel like everyone hates you and no one wants to be with you. In other words, emoing.

TIME REALLY FLIES

They say time really flies. Actually it only does when you're having fun, I don't recall my boring lessons seem to pass very fast. But the weekends really zoom by. Same with holidays, when you're enjoying yourself so much you start to lose track of the days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, and millenniums. And it suddenly seems that one whole week of the holiday goes by too fast. Way too fast.

And then the next thing you know.....

Principal: Welcome back to another school term!

FUCK NO!!
