Cuddle Up Day/Profess Your Love Day

Higher Chinese lessons today weren't as bad as I expected. At least she ended on time, after threatening to end two hours late. It's not our fault she started late! I imagine it must take incredible patience to soldier on, even when you know everyone's not paying attention. For that, I truly respect Ms Oei, although I must confess I still don't feel like listening during lessons! The only productive thing I did during her lesson was pick up stationary for Shaun, whack Teck Tee throughout the lesson, and complete my overdue worksheets. Tomorrow, I suspect, will be far less productive, except for Mrs Smith's lessons...

I've been reading other people's diaries and blogs, which just shows you how much of a life I have. It's interesting how what people write in their entries can give you a new perspective on who they are, if you know what I mean. On the other hand, it sometimes just confirms what you always suspected about them. As for having a life, I was walking around Takashimaya this afternoon, and I was feeling so out-of-place with all the people streaming around me. Do you ever have that feeling? It wasn't that bad in Kinokuniya when I was buying my books, partly because the place is huge and you can just disappear into a corner, but also because books don't talk or intrude on your personal space as much as people do. Then again, I was talking with a church friend yesterday, and she was like telling me how maybe an unexciting life might actually be good? I can't remember exactly why, but it made sense to me somehow...
