Birthday wish

Same old boring Sunday, except the fact that it marks the last week before the Prelims. Yes, I’m getting the jitters, but no, I’m not intimidated. At least I’m starting, you know.

Dad was going through a class list I kept in my A-math textbook and he was trying to guess the dialect groups of them by their surnames. He said that Lees(like us) are Cantonese and all that. Then he came to Tong Loong, who has ‘Teo’ as his sur, and my dad says that he’s a ‘ke’(a Hakka), and my dumbass sister was like, ‘Cake? What cake?’ ….

Time flies and I’m happily counting down to my birthday. I’ve decided to get something special for myself this year, since I’m 16 and all grown-up(urm, not quite, actually). Like? A guitar. For the past 2 years I’ve been playing my aunt’s very vintage guitar and have acquired more than just a few scratches for her. So I’ve decided to get one for myself instead of using hers. I’ve been checking out one at the Music Lodge, which cost a pretty hefty $280 for a guitar, but it’s going to be mine at all costs. Wish me luck.
