Back.
Hullo!
Sorry for the unannounced mini hiatus. If I had to try and justify it, it’s quite a long story, though a simple one at that. So I’ll try to keep things short and snappy.
Number 1, and main point would be,
I think a little fuse in me snapped from all that exam stress I was going through.
And funny thing was, I don’t think I realized just how much it affected me only til AFTER my final paper ended.
Usually after-exams would have me immediately going back full-blow to An Old Flame, work stuff, blogging, woo-hooing around parties etc; basically I’d be looking forward to going back to my other hectic life separate from studies 
But this time, this exam burden lifted, I started seeing ‘the other life waiting for me’ as a burden too.
An Old Flame was waiting, work-related emails were waiting, blogging responsibilities were waiting, even the parties…… I hated that I started perceiving everything I love and enjoy doing as, well, a chore!
I know it’s only temporary though, how can I suddenly hate the things I love? I don’t :)
I just needed a break to flush out my system. I needed to get away, bum, chill, sleep, meditate, drink coffee, stare at the ceiling. I needed to disappear.
I’d like to think I can manage stress well, but I guess we need a break from time to time. Being superwoman isn’t easy.
Number 2, and this one’s a little harder to explain,
SisterDebbie was also having her A-Levels finals coinciding with my ACCA finals, but hers end one week after mine ends.
And while my studies kept me in uni all day long, I studied at home too. So we pretty much kept each other company at home (ie. keep each other sane). Because god knows it can get really lonely and depressing being cooped up at home for too long -_-
After my final paper, I still felt a sisterly duty to keep my sis sane during her final one-week stretch.
I couldn’t abandon her yet, she still seemed so stressed I mean, she was losing so much weight! (while I gained a few, wtf life’s unfair -_-)
So while I needed to get away, bum, chill, sleep, meditate, drink coffee, stare at the ceiling,
I did it at home with her
Figure of speech la, I stayed at home reading books in her room while she studied, cooked us midnight comfort food, teman her talk cock sing song laughing at everything and nothing during her study breaks. YES I KNOW IM A DAMN GOOD SISTER RIGHT debbie appreciate please -_- this year’s christmas present better be bigger ya heee
So yeah, that’s pretty much what’s been going on
About a week has passed since my finals, Debbie’s free too now, yay!
Life is slowly going back to normal (as you can see, I’m blogging and checking my emails now) but I don’t wanna make any promises just yet. Bear with me, ok? :)
(but then again, now that i’ve renounced my blogging duties, i might just blog more now, since it’s no longer a duty/chore! :p But this little note kinda reinstates that duty/chore so im confused! God, why am i crazy like that.)
