I woke up late today, at 9 a.m. Mom was sarcastic about it as usual, and there were no breakfast leftovers. I made myself Milo and ate crackers, and washed up the dishes Ed had been lazy to wash. Jyne was already at school attending the PMB express extra classes, so I was the one hanging out the clothes to dry.
After hanging all the clothes, I wiped two windows. This was harder than it sounded, due to the recent paint job on my house, and I spent an hour and a half to finish the job. I then got carried away by a manga, Yakitate! Ja-pan, chinese version, and read it for half an hour. All this while mom was on the phone, I didn't know the details since I got my headphones on.
When mom got off the phone we changed and I nearly forgot to bring the $100 voucher. Mom picked Jyne up from the school before bringing us to eat lunch. We had a bit of problem finding a parking space, but soon we sat down to lunch. After lunch, we walked to Booker Gadong, since it is just a few stores away. Mom immediately stalked out a cousin working there, and bought a learn-it-yourself Thai phrase book that came along with a CD. I seek out the third book from the 'Chronicles of Ancient Darkness', 'Soul Eater'. I found it and was ecstatic. I tried to buy 'The Kite Runner' too, since it was a best selling novel and adapted into a film and everything, but mom said no. Oh well, at least she let me buy the latest issue of Readers Digest.
After coming out from Booker, we wandered around a nearby department store, but didn't buy anything. Soon we were on our way home. Mom was tired and nap for a while when we got home, while Jyne and I read the books we had borrowed from the libraries of two different schools. I didn't know where Ed disappeared off to, but at least he kept himself busy and didn't disrupt the silence.
When mom woke up, she popped the Thai-learning CD into the CD player. The repeatative Thai phrases were annoying, and mom's repeating of them made it worst. Soon my siblings joined in, and I had to learn a language I didn't want to learn. Gah!
When we were wandering around the department store, an SMS came. I have to go to MoE for my English oral this coming Wednesday! Gah!
