I woke up at 6.30am today to prepare for school as usual. My favourite lesson in school is PE because usually we get to play sports. However, my teacher decided that we do some physical training today instead. It was really tiring and dreadful. Unsatisfied with the lack of fun sports, my friends and I agreed to stay back after school for a badminton game.
Upon reaching home, I felt really tired. As I did not have any homework to do, I have the luxury of time to indulge in one of my favourite pastimes, drawing. Before I sleep, I checked out updates about my favourite Korean stars online.
As usual, I went to school today. It was one of my classmates’ birthday, so the atmosphere in class in the morning was kind of celebratory. After class, I had dance practise for Speech Day. I enjoyed the practice because it wasn’t really intensive.
The later part of my day was spent with my family. We went out to have dinner and did some more shopping for the coming Chinese New Year. However, my elder sister seems to be more naggy than usual. It might be because of her PMS. I really cannot stand it at times.

Can you believe it, I woke up at 3pm today. I felt extremely rested after sleeping in late into the afternoon. I am really happy today because it is Saturday! The best part was getting to eat McDonald’s for dinner. Bulk of the night was spent doing my homework and I slept at 2am.

I woke up feeling grumpy today because my Dad woke me up at 10am and I didn’t manage to sleep in. However, my tuition lesson today cheered me up. I had tuition at 3.30pm. My tuition lessons have always been fun and today was no exception. My tuition teacher can never fail to crack us up while teaching.
Our family gathered together to have dinner in the evening and my Mum just asked me when I’m going to have my menses. I don’t really record my periods, so I don’t really know the exact date that it is going come but I sensed that it is coming soon. It was embarrassing though, for her to ask me over the dinner table.

Weekends passed just like that and Monday is here again. However, my friends made school so much more enjoyable. We were happily taking photos during recess and even on the way home. The best part was I didn’t have homework to do today. My sister was a bit weird today. She took out her ‘collection’ of pads (and I cannot differentiate the brands, I thought they were all Kotex but there were other brands too) and apparently it is for her presentation tomorrow. Wonder what kind of presentation she is doing that requires pads.

I feel really uncomfortable and insecure for the whole day in school. Since yesterday night I’ve got a feeling that my period is going to come and was really feeling really insecure today because I forgot to bring extra pads to school. Indeed my period came today! Fortunately, it came only when I’ve returned home from school. Imagine if it comes when I’m in school, I would definitely panic!
Even though I don’t really have cramps or discomfort when I have my periods, I’ve always hated menses because it made me feel insecure especially when I’m asleep. I hated the shock it realizing that I’ve stained my bed sheets and have to dreadfully wash it by hands. This is despite the 32cm extra long overnight Kotex pads that I use because it tends to leak at the sides. So I guess I will have an uncomfortable sleep tonight.

I think every girl will feel uncomfortable during the first few days of her menses. I felt uncomfortable and especially because I have to sneak into the toilet and change my pads every now and then in between lessons.
Today was a long day at school. I had dance practise after class and we danced to this hip-hop cardio workout. It was really fun and I instantly felt more pumped-up. It was a great way to end my day in school. However, nothing beats staying at home cuddled up in my bed during heavy flow days during my period, which is what I am going to do now. :D
