if there's anything consistent about my posts, it's the three-week break in between them.
been a crazy month, but i won't say much about it, 'cos the details have all been obscured by the more recent memories. i need more RAM.
i was commenting to someone yesterday or today that this is the first time in a very long time that i've actually had a day with NOTHING scheduled. of course, it entailed me turning down a game of frisbee and a barbeque, but i really needed the rest. this is how tired i was/am.
i slept at about midnight last night.
i woke at 10am.
i fell asleep slightly after 1pm.
i only woke up again at 6pm.
its now approaching 10pm. i'm very sleepy. just waiting for a phone call.
i've been falling asleep on buses on every bus ride without fail. i've managed to fall asleep several times on the mrt while standing. i think i really am a glutton for sleep... really can't do without an average of seven hours plus... can't focus properly with lack of sleep, which kinda messes up alot of stuff. seems a little unfair when i think about those people who seem to survive fine on four hours.... but i guess God created each of us special, and different, and that we just gotta make do with what we are given. warts, pimples, and all.
liked my christmas presents. got a Zits(r) treasury, which i finished within three hours of opening it about 27 hours ago, and have already read it a second time through. goes very nicely with the various Foxtrot and Get Fuzzy and Calvin and Hobbes and Baby Blues all over the house... thinking of bringing them all into my room and starting a collection. comics - good, clean entertainment. doesn't promote poor values, doesn't mess around with your emotions, portable, and easily readable in any small amount of spare time you have (no continuity required). gotta love 'em.
got yellow-orange polo tee thingy which came in this really interesting net thingy made from brown string.... trying to figure out some interesting way to use the net.... seems like a shame to just stuff it away somewhere out of sight.
got USB PS2 controller for the PC.... i remember just mentioning off-hand to my sis a couple of weeks back how the Winning Eleven 8 which i bought didn't play well with a keyboard, and so she got me that. it's very nice when people remember your off-hand remarks... shows you they actually listen. =). makes me feel valued.
quite happy with today, managed to get abit of stuff done. cleared up my room abit, caught up on a whole lot of sleep, typed an email which i've been putting off for awhile, wrote in blog! but still lots of things to do... feel like taking half day tomorrow to get it done..... the house is still in the post-christmas mess... feel like doing something about it.... got scholarship application which i've put off for very long, need to send some documents in to NUS by early Jan latest to confirm my place this year, still putting off driving lessons, haven't mounted the corkboard in my room which i bought two weeks ago.... and probably a bit more which has currently slipped my mind.
oh yeah, and my work is in a mess too. got more responsibilities than i know what to do with, and i'm slipping inexorably into ORD-mood .... i.e. i don't want to do anything at work anymore. but MY UNDERSTUDY HAS COME IN!!!! i.e. the guy who is supposed to take over my job, so i can start pushing my responsibilities away now. yay.
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
zzzzzz......
