Yay! I got into MUN! So now I'm officially a delegate on the school team. I see two people out of 5 I know on the team, Manit and Anjali. That's good. It's always fun to have Manit around. Have I blogged before about how whenever I see him a smile lights my face? I know that sounded really gay, but I'm serious. He really funny. You people should meet him one day. Vicks, if you think I was deadpan in the second term, wait till you get to know Manit. He's more deadpan than I ever was, and he's certainly lost none of his deadpan-ness so far.

It was while pondering on the things I have to do this holidays when I began wondering on whether I've over commited myself. I have an S Paper selection test to prepare for, and if I make it through that means a Lit S Paper on my back. Then now there's MUN. Plus the Inter House Debates we plan to run next year, and the NUS Challenge Shields. The good thing is that most of these take place only in the first 3 months of next year. But an S Paper a seriously a heavy undertaking, so I hope I made the right choice.

I added yet another book to my CS Lewis collection today, Miracles. This means I now have a backlog of three books to clear. This is quite bad, because I'm taking a mighty long time to read the first book, which is very rare of me. Of course, I know the cause of the problem. The computer. I've been hooked to the com playing games since the start of the hols. I guess I better stop. Oh well, at least I'll have PW to do tomorrow, something profitable to occupy me for the next few days. Did I just say PW was profitable? I meant profitable in purely academic terms. ugh.

My parents raised the issue today of holding a Christmas party this year. Apparently my first uncle looks forward to it, along with a substantial part of my extended family I think. I find it funny that they should think this way, because I don't (when I say I don't, I mean I don't particularly look forward to the party. Just the food). But I guess, ever since my grandmother passed away some years ago, there haven't been many events where the whole Lian clan can gather together. My family holds a Christmas gathering yearly for our relatives, mainly on my father's side. It's actually an on-off event, as in some years we hold it, some years we don't. Last year we didn't for instance. But I think because we've been doing it for so long (my mom revealed to me today they started it when I was a baby), it's become like a family tradition. A good one to keep, I would say. I always look forward to turkey and honey baked ham. This year I'm pushing for roast beef on the menu. We've learnt not to order from NTUC. Cold Storage gives much better quality, even though the prices might be higher. Maybe we should get roasted pork ribs too. :)
