Week 1: EOY School Holidays - Nellie :)

Hey there fellow readers! Nellie here. So, this post will be regarding about how I spent my holidays. Well, many things and events happened during the holidays. It was a challenging yet fun-filled and meaningful holiday. We had a 2-month break from school starting from late October.

Anyone would be excited to know that the long-awaited holiday was finally here - not for me though... You all must be thinking, "Nellie, are you right in your mind?!" The thing is, holiday meant long hours of co-curricula activities (CCA) for me. (My CCA is choir.) I was preparing for an end-of-year choir concert throughout the whole of November. Choir practices was twice or thrice a week and usually began early in the morning at 8am with physical training (PT) and ended late in the evening at 5pm. Can you imagine having to sing for almost 7 hours every practice? That was a real challenge for me indeed! I was mentally and physically worn out and exhausted from all those practices! However, our efforts were paid off and our concert was a successful one! Throughout this long journey, I became a stronger person who persevered and overcame obstacles. I also became more bonded with my batch mates!

Then came December. My life started to grow dull after the concert. I had post-concert syndrome and missed the fun I had in November. To add on, I had a mountain high of holiday assignment collecting dust on my table... I could not bring myself to sit down and finish my assignments. Instead, I procrastinated and slacked the whole day long, either on my phone or iPad. Yeah, typical me... Those dreadful and boring days passed on like it was years... 

However, during mid-December, many exciting things happened! Although my family didn't travel overseas, we went to many places in Singapore - Ikea, Orchard, USS and many more...  We went furniture shopping at Ikea 3 times in just 2 weeks. I even ate the poached salmon set at Ikea which tasted like heavens! We also went to Orchard abundant of times, shopping and taking photos with the Christmas decorations and trees! We also went Universal Studios Singapore (USS) twice! That 2 weeks was extremely fun!

Before we knew it, Christmas arrived! My family had a Christmas feast on the eve of Christmas and Christmas Day itself! However, after Christmas, I realised that my holiday assignments were still left untouched! During the last week of holiday, I was on full engine, trying to finish all my assignments! I regretted having not plan and spend my time wisely, resulting in me having to rush everything last-minute!

My holidays were 'almost well-spend', if you exclude the fact that I wasted 2 weeks procrastinating! XD 

Well, that's about it! I hoped you enjoyed reading this post! :)
