Heeey. It is now officially SPRING BREAK! And yet why am I not celebrating?

Nyeh. Don't wanna get into it. Don't wanna THINK about it. >.>

Anyway, I'm not sure if I told ya'll this, but I know I mentioned it in the shoutbox once--The-Muffin-Man 'heard' me. =D Remember how my uncle dropped my phone into that bowl of soup? I've been using my mom's 4-year old phone ever since. Well, last Friday, it slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor. Yep, you got it. I no longer have a phone. Yet again. It broke in half. It was a flip phone so now the screen is --->here<----and the other half with all the buttons is--->there<---. ^-^

So, I'm am returning to that stupid cellphone store and getting a new phone. Well, it'll be the soup-splashed one, but new. That's the most important, right? NEW and UNBROKEN. USABLE. Yay! I'll have to go get it on Sunday...

...right after the field trip. Right. I teach English on Sundays, right? We're going on a historical tour that is given in English. Hopefully, my students can keep up...>.> *sigh* I doubt it. Which means I'll be talking A LOT.

Heh, I just used the right three times, one after another. XP Oh, and my mother's sick. So I'm basically her nursemaid.

Her: "I'm hungry!" "I'm cold..." "Argh, I'm hot!" "...I'm thirsty..." "My back hurts."

Me: "COMING!"

My mother got her award last night. ('-^)=b And I turned into campaign manager for the night (as her 'fan' called me) or as I called it (in my head) her little Bo-Peep. While the lamb ran around pulled by her 'fans' to get their pictures taken, little Bo-Peep was given the run around with a myriad of tasks and staying at the sweet animal heels at the same time. Even if they weren't orders, they were important and someone had to see to it. Such as: my mother's glasses, purse, and cellphone's whereabouts--they were misplaced several times during the night and I had to go retrieve them every time.

**SIGHHHHH**

BTW: I have bubbles at the bottom of my feet. Er, I called them bubbles when I was little and now it's an affectionate nickname, but the appropriate name is BLISTERS. ^-^ How fun!

Later...*wave*

Hellooooooooo!

Back after the busy weekend. So, I went to visit my grandpa's grave yesterday. You're supposed to go before May, I believe. Anyway, we went with this...'club' that my grandpa had been a member of. Family organizations/associations accroding to last names, ie: Wong, Lee, Ng, etc. So that meant about 2 hours on a bus with senior citizens and my mother. Wasn't bad. The real treasure was when we all finished our business at the gravestones and came back to the main stone. A whole crispy pig! Yes, you read me right. Yummy...*slurp* it was good. And the pudding-cake thing was good, too. Mmm.

But other than that, my life has been the same old-same old lackadaisical routine. *sigh*

My mom's geting another award tomorrow night so I have to go wash my hair soon and pick out an appropriate outfit. Oh, my hair is so long! It's up to mid-back in a ponytail so i guess it would be almost waist-length if let down. I really want a short cut, like a bob or a boy-cut. But! I can't because I have dance and we need to have our hair long enough to go in a bun so anything shorter than shoulder-length is out. And besides, I'm not sure if I'd look good in a boy-cut...>.>

Gotta go. What should I wear tomorrow? Something that says i'm-the-daughter-of-that-woman-who's-gettin-an-award or...

--I forgot to add: I'm thinking of bangs. Trim the bottom a couple of inches and get bangs. Think Caroline from ParaKiss, like that. ;)

Intellectuals: Listen!

1.) @ Nuttz: I HAVE NEVER BEEN MISTAKEN AS MY MOTHER'S YOUNGER SISTER. I am too gorgeus in my own right to be. She justs wants to be my older sister, who wouldn't, right? It isn't until they find out our relationship that they say we look like sisters. Maybe they're just payin' her a compliment, eh? ;D No, we do look alike, very much so, but I wouldn't cross out the possibilty of fake compliments, either.

2.) I have no translation to offer you as of yet. >.< I was read to by my mother last night and I am no longer sure of my memory for all the details of that story. Instead I give you this:

Wisdom's Daughter
by H. Rider Haggard

I had been searching for Wisdom's Daughter by India Edghill when I came upon this piece of work. Forgive my newfound language of words for my style of writing is always affected by the writer I last read. The link I have given above is the book in it's entirety--214 pages total if printed. The link below will bring you to a geocities page with a wonderful synopsis.

http://www.geocities.com/noelcox/Wisdoms_Daughter.htm

It's a truely fascinating story, especially if you're a fan of history and more specifically, of Egytian/Grecian literature. I have found, in what I've read so far which are only fragments of chapters, paragraphs that caught my eye in the little time I had, that it reminds me of...I forget. Nevermind.

I'll get that translation to you soon enough, meaning sometime after my mother returns from her party and whether she'll be in the mood or not. For your sakes, I hope she will be. It's a very funny story. ^-^ For those of you who can read Chinese, I leave you with the pic one more time:
