I would probably just listen to lots of music if I was in your situation. :)

Do you like to draw? You could take a drawing journal and some pencils -- that way you're not just doing things to pass time but could also create new things. You could even journal on your experience while you're there.

I'm not sure what your family members are like, but I don't know whether staying up all night would be the best idea! They might insist on getting you involved in daytime activities, and if that happens, you should probably be well-rested. I mean you could always say no but sometimes it's hard to.

Thanks Myriad!
If I draw, read, listen to music, study I should be alone in a closed place. (Library is okay as there're no one I know so I feel I am alone.) That's the problem. I guess my relatives wouldn't wake me up.
After enough hours of being alone at night, and 5-6 hours of sleep in day time, I could join them with welcoming open mind during the rest hours.
I never try this before, if this way work, I'll use this method whenever I need.

I would just sit there mostly keeping to myself unless someone talked to me & I'd be daydreaming or watching TV if it's on.

A short review here

I failed to stay up all night. First because I rarely do, so I fell asleep at night inevitably and second I found it's really hard to ignore things going on there and sleeping in day time. There were several things that needed my hands. A lot of dishes to wash, cleaning rooms, preparing meals and little two nephews who are really adorable and cute that I cannot help but hang out with them…

I learned something - Getting things on my to-do list actually done is difficult outside of my place because it's really a collection of habits and I cannot plan other's willings.

I have to spend two days in a relative's house where I can't connect to the internet during Traditional Holiday.
I really hate to leave my place but wherever wifi flows I would adapt to that place to some extent.
But I have no choice this time except fitting myself into that place as best as I can.

How would you spend time when you face this suffer?

My smartphone has 2GB of data and I have 3 spare extra capacity batteries for it. That usually is good enough. I never travel out of the country and am rarely in an area that doesn't have at least 3G. I guess it wouldnt matter if I had something else to do.

Thanks for all responds again =)

I also watched four movies which were not that bad to pass hours.=)
what I watched were

Spy
Kingsman The Secret Service
Tomorrowland
Taken3 (once more)

I actually downloaded 12 movies to watch and planed to watch all of them but I found it's hard to focus on series of movies due to a lot noise and distraction from my relatives around. As for listening to music, I found I cannot enjoy any music due to the same reasons.

Yeah, it's not good idea to lock myself in a room enjoying my own solitary when all relatives are gathering together caring for each other and wanting to hear how each one of them has been doing.

I spent times helping my aunt to get things done like cleaning, washing dishes, picking vegetables..There were a lot things I was able to do, which made me not that bored in the end. So I think I managed to spend quality time. And my nephews 3, 5 year old each were damn cute. They made my day. =D


And sorry that I didn't respond each one of you guys..Your posts meant a lot to me.
I cannot forget how helpful you guys are. I'll remember each one of you..Iove you!! =D
