are holidays supposed to cause much added stress to relationships and families?

every time i hear a phone ring i cringe and pray. well, in the lighter sense of the word.

well, i passed my napfa so far, i think the other items will be a cinch. particularly looking forward to sit and reach, can't wait to see how much my flexibility has improved.
ah today would have been extremely enjoyable in the simplest sense of the word, with pleasurable company. except for the admin stuff...which was a headache and i must've complained to tons of people and put on a long face. lol. at least got my ____________ KELLY DON'T ANYHOW SAY LAH BASKET SIA.

waiting in anticipation for the emcee results to come out. the more i think of it, the more interesting i think it'll be. got lots of interesting things happening right now. some causing more stress than others. but everything'll be worth it.

mother is the barometer of grumpiness for the family. if she's grumpy, the night's a bitch. just now her mood swung and she told me that she didn't believe me that studying in school might help. fuck you lah. fuck off. i know what i'm doing this time. at least i know better.

i'm taking solace in mood music. nothing as cryptic as múm though. something more comforting and enveloping like Madeline Peyroux and Stina Nordenstam. speaking of her, the song "The Morning Belongs To The Night" is playing on my itunes right now.

my phone beeped again.
time to jump.
