Drop bomb.

Dad bombed my mailbox with the following email with full itinerary of a 10-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Shanghai, less than a week after I had casually mentioned to him that a holiday after my internship would be a perfect closure to a tumultuous school break.

(O.o)

... And he shipped me and my sis off just like that. Not that I'm complaining about an overseas vacation; I'm just slightly more resistant to sudden change. Plus this means I might have to get a bigger birthday present for Mum, since we won't be around to celebrate her coming birthday. PLUS. it's going to be 10 days without the company of the one going by the handsome name of Jack. Oh well. But we're going on another holiday together, aren't we?
