Holiday: more but not enough

This holiday is quite long, in comparison to normal weekends, but it is still not enough for me as there are only four days of holiday and if I go back to Malaysia, I would have wasted almost one day of my precious holiday. So holiday life in boarding school is really boring, even though I have to study for my tests in these two coming weeks, those time which I do not use to study is really like no-life. Inviting friends to go out for a long swim would be quite a nice idea to use my time, but besides that I find nothing which is fun, maybe computer game, depends on what games.
Some of my roommates went back to Malaysia, some say that because they cannot study in the boarding school so they went back to study, while the others go back for fun. I am hoping to find out their comments about their time management, and that is because I can never study well in Malaysia. All the televisions and the PS2 took over my intention to study, so it always fake when I put a stack of books on the table where there is a "huge" television and a "gigantic" PS2 in front of me.
My parents came to visit me yesterday. We stayed in a hotel and did nothing for 2 hours until we go out for dinner. Then I found out that I am quite unique compared to the other teenagers in Singapore. I never see a teenager going out with his or her parents to have dinner, I only see a bunch of them in fast food restaurants. This shows the difference between teenagers in Singapore and those in Malaysia. In Malaysia, families are always "united", I rarely find teenagers going out unless they are already 17 plus.
On the 6th of August, there is a National Day Celebration. My school also celebrate, and some elderly came to our school to watch our performances. Surprisingly, some can even speak Cantonese, and they say they are from Kuala Lumpur, children got a scholarship and lived in Singapore, brought their parents along and then put them in those houses for the elderly. After those performances, they were brought to a class, where they play some non-teenager games and had their lunch there. But we went off halfway because we still have bio lesson. There is one thing that I think is very important for us teenagers to learn, those elderly are very caring towards each other, and they are also very considerate. But we are the direct opposite of them, we try to harm each other to get advantage and better opportunities, I think it is not a very meaningful way of doing things, probably because those elderly know that they are old and that their time is going to come, but why can't we learn from them, do the things that the elderly do before it is too late.
At last, I hope that there will be an even longer holiday so that we can do more things and that I am also looking forward to go back Malaysia to complete my Warriors Orochi game in PS2.
