Dear Prince ~Tennis No Oujisama~ by Ikumen Samurai



Valentine's Day is this Saturday. In the past, I used to be really enthusiastic about it. I mean, what is there not to like? Presents, an excuse to go out, speculating pairings for this year... I liked Valentine's Day, as commercialised as it is. And then... This year, I'm not exactly looking forward to it. In fact, I'd rather not have such a day on my calendar at all. I'm not jealous of lovebirds. Heck, no way. Its not that I broke up with my boyfriend. I'm SINGLE. I feel sad as I'm out of the official school system. I am no longer surrounded by friends who will shower me with love, laughter, attention. No more joking around. No more of being a busybody and gossiping about the relationships of others. Instead, I'll be... Studying Japanese? My driving theory test? Packing my room? Studying for SAT if my results are terrible? I would love to go out with my friends, but they are either going out with other people, namely their other half, overseas, or grounded at home. So I am too. Maybe I should go to the library. Read something for fun. Think trashy books with no plot and poor organisation. I read books like that for fun. Think of it as an advanced level of zero tolerance testing. You get a headache from correcting and improving romance novels. If I told you that reading bodice rippers give me a headache, I think you'll laugh. Duh. Anyone who thinks editing books is easy should try it some time. Even children books will torture your brain cells, not to mention cheesy chick lit. You have been warned.



I think mosquitoes are THE bane of my existence in tropical Singapore. They are everywhere that is not air-conditioned. My house. The bus stop. The food court. The hawker centre. Everywhere that I go, I see them. They buzz around me in the middle of the night and the high pitch screeching is awful. The land on all surfaces, all bloatred with blood, most probably mine. An eyesore. First thing in the morning, you do not want to see bloated mosquitoes. Ech.

I'll be retaking my SATs in May. Yes, the scores are out. Atrocious. It was much worse than expected. Some of my friends told me that my score is high for my first attempt. Honestly, I do not think it is a matter of which attempt. Rather, it is that I put in a decent amount of effort, and received such awful grades. I am satisfied with my critical Reading score, but my Math and Writing score, especially Writing score... Terrible. I shall improve. Yes I shall. Sigh. need to hit the books again.

So, on my to do list...
1) Study for Advanced Theory Test
2) Study for upcoming Japanese test
2) Study for SAT.
4) Go for driving lessons.
5) Finish up Dorothea.
6) Start on Lulubell.
7) JunJou photoshoot... Events...

Last, but definitely not the least...
8) Work.

Yeah. So many things to do, so little time...

"In my heart I know that the pain will not last much longer..."
