I've found a friend who died for me

i have many habits that i have not changed. one examples is my famous handwriting. since primary one, teachers have been telling me to improve my handwriting and in a year i would have countless number of penmanships but mu handwriting remains the same. i don't know why too. maybe it is because i am lazy to change but one thing is for sure, i write very slow when i am neat. this year, mrs toh had told me to improve my handwriting for the second time alreay but i didn't pay heed to her words. the good thing is that teachers don't mind me typing out my work. for example, mrs toh once said that work is to be handwritten but after a while, she didn't care whether i typed out her work or not. i think she got fed-up over my handwriting. another good thing is that i do not need to write my name(just class only) and people would know it is mine.

i always procastinate when it comes to doing work. i do not procastinate when it comes to watching televison programmes or using the computer and somehow i cannot bring this over to my studies. maybe i am addicted to the TV and computer...
