i just got back from my short getaway during the CNY break but i still want to go on a holiday. :-(

as soon as i reached home, i felt so stifled and i could sense the euphoria i experienced for the past few hours slowly ebbing away.

i went to relief a class just now and i was left greatly entertained at the end of it.
