What have I been doing with my time?

Holiday.

One word. 7 letters. Love by many, especially kids. Hate by equally many, especially adults. As for me, I have a love hate relationship with it.

Holiday as defined by Merriam-Webster (yes hantus, i actually use online dictionary) as

1 : HOLY DAY
2 : a day on which one is exempt from work; specifically : a day marked by a general suspension of work in commemoration of an event
3 chiefly British : a period of relaxation : VACATION -- often used in the phrase on holiday; often used in plura

The pronunciation: 'hä-l&-"dA, British usually 'hä-l&-dE
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hAligdæg, from hAlig holy + dæg day (unimportant)

BAH! Seems like this dictionary need to be upgraded or I need to find a Malaysian dictionary. Why?..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, holiday nowadays means more work. Homework, revisions, assignments, presentations, bla bla bla.. all due after the holiday, which means we are suppose to do it ..... during the holiday..
............So much for the "exempt from work" or "a period of relaxation".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secondly, with two younger brothers and without car, at HOME, during the holiday.. there's bound to be continuous drama series with occasionally kungfu stances. Unlike Korean dramas which are famous for their crying scenes, Chinese drama for its kungfu moves, English series for errmm... english speaking casts, my homemade series starring yours truly and her two monsterous brothers involve lots of screaming, shouting, action, thriller, comedy and a bit horror. So, it's a bit of everything. What's missing? Romantic scenes. hHAHhaa. Ok ok. How the drama usually starts.. *Names are not mentioned to protect the boys privacy. Underage*

Playstation....
Youngest bro: Why you always win 1??!!

Younger bro: Eh, stupid. Play larh

Youngest bro: No no. Again.
*Reset the whole game*
Younger bro: YOoooRRHHH!!!! I play so hard and you reset the game AGAIN. The third time d!!!!!!!!!!!. You stupid boy. *starts to pinch brother*
Younger bro: WA WA WA *crying like mad* *kicks elder brother*
Younger brother: OiiiIIII!!! * fights back* [ re-enactment of world wrestling federation show] Now i know why wrestling is bad for kids and immature teenagers.

Then, the heroin steps in.
The fictional me: My dearest brothers, what's the matter? Can your dearest jie-je help? You must love each other as you only have one brother. Spread the love. Embrace God.
But... instead....

Me: SHADDUP!!!! I wanna watch tv. Cannot hear a thing. ARRGhh..!!

*silence*...............continues..

Y.gest bro: Jie jie.. kor kor beat me.
Y.ger bro: He started it. He reset the game.
Me: Aiyor. Play again lerh. Childish betul.
Y.ger bro: You play and see larh. You think so easy ar?!@#$%&#*

This is where I got myself involve in the fight [due to lack of actors, I take on the roles of peacemaker, troublemaker, instigator and many more. WhahHha]

Me: Eh please arh. You play it everyday. You know your bull strength 1 rite. Beat him so hard for whut?!! He's so skinny. You're gonna break his bone someday.
Y.ger bro: ARRRRR!!!! I dont care.
Y.gest bro: I tell mommie.. *still crying*
Me: Go and call if you want

Y.gest bro go and make phone call.Y.ger bro chases after him. Takut kena marah.
Then, memory freeze. After a few minutes, continue playing like nothing happens till they move on to the computer or the tv. The losing person is me. Missed my show. AiiihHsss. Headache.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thirdly, I'm not doing my work!!! I know there's loads of stuff to do but there's too many distractions. Infact, I've written a to-do list, which I intend to follow but...... I'm doing what I like instead of what I ought to do. I've been doing many cards. About 6 of them. I just love doing cards for friends and family members. Today, I'm baking cookies. Cornflake cookies. YumMie!~
OPppss.. see.. stupid holiday. At least in college, I still touch my books.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourthly, my brothers are like barbarians. They eat like them, they bath like them. Heck, I have to scream the whole day to get them clean. * guys are smellier* Then they transform to kings. I have to clean up their mess. Cups, pillows, rubbish and leftovers everywhere. Even to get my younger brother to wash the dishes is harder to move stubborn donkeys!! Hah!/... gone. my peaceful and clean holiday. Now have to jadi maid pulak. (~_~)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually there's more reasons but I forgot... Maybe less movements contribute to short term memory loss. There see! Another reason!.. Less activities to do. No walking a distance to the food/restaurant. No climbing up stairs. No sweating.
I'm gonna drag my brother to play tennis with me later in the evening (that's if it doesn't rain)

But then again, holiday is actually cool. The only time I can sleep till 10 am and dont have to bath so early. (O.o) *Pst psst.. i havent shower yet* *Sniif sniff*

I better be going. Something is getting smellier here. UrrghH.. The smell of burnt cookies!!!! And ...............mE!!
