Exhaustion

I've been down with flu. Continuous sneezing, watery eyes and peeling skin around my nose. It's no wonder though. What do you expect when your body is having an average of 6 hours of sleep every night, with terrifying workload in the day? Of course, needless to say, plus my other commitments. :P

I'm so looking forward to the CNY holidays. For the first time in my life, I fully understood the importance of a 'getaway'.

Space

I am in high spirits today, despite the fact that I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. Reason: I'm at home on a Saturday! Seriously, when was the last time that I had the whole of Saturday to myself? I can't remember.

Time is really precious to me now. There's so much to do and too little time. I'm very tempted to lament about my work but I shan't. I have to blog as fast as I can; my dear KS is talking to me, my mum's waiting for me to go out for dinner and my brain is working at a third of its usual capacity. Those of you who, like me, frequently suffer from lack of sleep, should know how I'm feeling right now.

So, how come I am at home on Saturday? Or should the question be, how come I can be at home? Haha. He has to attend a wedding dinner tonight and I had to do some stuff at home during the day. :D Oh man. I didn't realise how much I needed a break until now. Realisation: I am a girl (woman) who needs space. Well, who doesn't?

Just 1 last thing to blog about before my brain is officially pronounced 'not in working condition' for the day: I wasn't irritated for the past 2 days. I think, finally he knows what kinda stuff he says will get on my nerves. Basically, he just needs to crap lesser.



Happiness seems closer than before.

Stretching It

I don't know what is wrong but I just got f***ing irritated again.

Am I really okay about this?

The Paradox of Our Time

Got this from an email and decided to share with you guys.
A message by George Carlin, a comedian of the 70's and 80's:
We have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more but have less, we buy more but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgment, more experts yet more problems, more medicine but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

And the solution is?
I don't think there is any.

Getting On

I've been trying to catch up on my sleep as best as I can. It's not quite successful. My dark circles are looming again.

Him. If only he can reduce the frequency of irritating the hell out of me. Then, maybe, everything will be perfect.



If I had my way, I'd never get over you.

Suffocated...nearly

I finally (really finally), have time to sit down and blog. I've been aware of the amount of time I've been spending outside, and it's become quite unnerving.

First, my workload ever since school has re-opened is overwhelming. Gone were the days when I can pack up and head for home by 2pm. Gone were the days when I can have a proper lunch and rest during free periods. Now, I've to grab every free period to do work and continue racing against time to try to complete my work after school. I used to be able to check my phone quite regularly last year and reply messages rather promptly. But this year, I'm so busy to the extent that I sometimes forget that I've a handphone to attend to! The meetings that have been held so far just make things worse. They take away my time for marking and at the end of each meeting, I just end up with more work to do. Damn. If not for the fact that I constantly remind myself that work is never-ending and I should just leave my work for tomorrow 'cos I do need to relax and unwind, I would've been staying in school till 7pm instead of the 5pm limit I set for myself.

Second, someone has been taking up alot of my time. This week I've not had the chance to sit in front of the tv and stone. AT ALL. I need such time for myself. I need time to do all the unimportant stuff like plucking my eyebrows, doing masks, walking around the house and disturbing my sister, listening to my mum's nagging (I must be really missing alot of personal time to be missing my mum's nagging, hmmm), etc. This cannot go on. Absolutely no. Or I'll go berserk soon. It's not really his fault but I just don't know how to turn people down. Especially when all I need to do is agree to have dinner at AMK or Bishan (which is really nice of him since he stays in Pasir Ris). Thus, next week I'm going to learn how to say 'no'.

I have to wake up in about 4 hours' time for my CCA training. Crap.



When I was with him, I realised how much you must have loved me.
Now that I'm with him, I realised how much I loved you.

Back To Work

My 5 weeks holiday has officially ended and I'm now struggling to adjust to waking up early again. My workload is piling up too rapidly for me to take my time to re-adjust; I have so much more responsibilities and duties this year as compared to the previous one. And, someone is not helping by asking me out almost everyday. But well, I enjoy the company. :)

I hope I have the time to update this blog often. But if you guys do not hear from me, it means that I'm really busy. Either with work or dating, or both. Call me. :P



I can't believe how blind I'd been.

Hello 2008!

I just reached home from spending the last hours of 2007 and the first hours of 2008 with Sy, James, Alvin and Andrew. We had bbq at the roof top of Sy's old home, Kew Green. Simply wonderful! :)

I wanted to have a last post for 2007, but I just couldn't find the time. Really. Yuni hen mang. So here I am typing the first post for 2008, at 5.30am.

Gotta catch some sleep now. HAPPY NEW YEAR!



Is it really gonna be a happy one ahead?
