Out of order


I dislike the sound of the vacuum cleaner. I was supposed to be sleeping. Now I'm up. Feeling a little cranky. "You dislike a lot of things", that's what my mom always tell me. I tried to refrain myself from taking a afternoon nap because that's mainly the reason why I can't sleep early at night. I don't know why weariness always creeps into my veins in the afternoon and I can't help but to fall asleep. It's not the first time like I said but I still find it shocking that I actually fell asleep. Then, lying wide awake on bed at 4 am in the morning is not fun at all and I'll start to listen to some music, hoping that would put me to deep sleep after some time but no. No way this is going to work for me. What should I do? Any samaritan out there that could advise me on what to do? I'll be grateful for your help. My routine has been messed up. Day and night. My period is so late, again. I know it's an absolute embarrassment to mention such a girly thing here, hope you don't mind. I'm struggling to sleep every night. I should pop some sleeping pills yea. I'm such a mess. Oh! I met up with Paige and Angela yesterday in the evening. We went Marche for dinner, that was my first time by the way. I'm kind of amused by how everything works in there. I still must say that I think we're paying way too much for just a plate of plain potatoes. And if you had been there before, you know how much oil they add onto the pan to fry those expensive potatoes. It's eye opening for me. I wanna go again. This time with Dan, before his enlistment. I bet he would love it.

I woke up to the sound of the rain and thunder. It was nice when the room seemed darker. Blanket wrapped around me like a newborn baby and the bed felt more comfortable than usual. I could sleep forever. Oh and I'm sick. I hate coughs. I really do. But as long as I don't cough my lungs out, everything is going to be fine and I'm not far from feeling better. I'm happy when I'm with my friends. I make them laugh and they make me laugh. Friends (and Dan) are irreplaceable. We really should meet up for lunch or dinner once in a while and keep one another updated with our lives. Please stay in touch my friends. Seems as it is, we are going on separate ways. But don't vanish, okay? It's really nice to know all of you. Be it my friends from poly or my lovely girls from secondary, I love all of you! To all the girls, we could plan for an overseas trip. I want to go Korea again. Australia, New York and London are in my travel list too. I want to head to somewhere foreign. When I say foreign, I mean very foreign. Like no-asians kind of foreign. Somewhere ang mo. This is hilarious but I want to step into their grounds and feel different. Maybe I would plan a solo trip. I've always wanted to take a plane to somewhere else by myself. But I'm just too daft to do so. Why not this, I take the plane alone and you all could meet me there. Let's just pretend that we meet by coincidence. Not that bad. At least I get the feel of travelling alone. I don't know if anyone of you would read this piece of shit but if you did, I've made my point. I wish you all the best ahead of you. And now... I have a good news to share. I'm employed! I don't think it's a brilliant idea to reveal my employer up here so I shall save that part. Let's keep it confidential. Be happy for me! Work will commence on 22 Jun, which means that I'm still left with a week or so to be carefree and lazy. I'm thrilled and excited, worried as well. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, but life still goes on.

Down-and-out

Not literally down-and-out but I just feel this way. For your information, I'm still jobless. Ample job opportunities, luckless me. I have only gone for one interview so far, this is very bad. In addition, I didn't regard that particular interview as a formal job interview. Apparently the interviewer was chatting with me, not fully in English but with a mixture of Chinese. What's this. I made a vain effort preparing answers to questions which I thought she would ask. I'm not going to give up just yet. I can't give up for sure, I've no choice. I don't want to remain jobless for life. This is just the beginning. Let me update a little on my life. For the past month, besides working part time, I would head out for some shopping whenever I felt like I had to because of GSS. I couldn't bring myself to miss all the good bargains. I knew the spending wouldn't last for long but I did enjoy the possession of new items that added to my closet. As for now, I ended my part time job and hide at home on most of the days after I've burned a hole in my pocket. Loser. 

On a happier note, my dearest J has successfully given birth to a healthy baby boy! That calls for a celebration! Only when she's done with her confinement. This is grueling. But she's a happy mom despite all the hard times she had gone through during the entire period of her pregnancy. Last night, at the hospital, the smile that flashed across her face when she carried baby zender in her arms was heavenly. I saw it. 

I mentioned on Twitter that I will starve myself for the rest of today after having McDonalds for supper at midnight. I'm trying my best to accomplish what I've promised myself. I haven't taken a single sip of liquid yet. Not that I don't want to but I'm lazy to fetch myself some water and prefer to sit in front of my laptop typing whatever I'm typing right here right now. I think I should go get some water now, write again.
