i take your invitation


27.04.06 - 3.05am

i found a hundred and one(and counting) different sleeping positions while i was desperately trying to fall asleep. i've tried counting sheeps, counting mrs toh(physics tutor, tjc 04-05), even counting mrs fong(primary sch P whose about 80 already?)! staring into space, what-have-you-s. i think at the end of the month, i can come up with a book, "SLEEPASUTRA" it'll be the best seller of the year for Times, spread all over to the whole of Europe. Alright, this is seriously what you'll get when you get only 2 hours of sleep.CRAP.

one of the alternatives was to text my bro, this is how it went,

me: hi, are you studying very hard now? i'm just here to disturb you. your sis cant seem to get to sleep and she has to work tomorrow. so she's in deep trouble.
half an hour later
bro: i tot you got no work? dad say you have?
me: ya, he said yes when i msged him just now. i'm so dead. he told you that i dont have to?
bro: where r u?
me: tsk, at home of course? in my room on the bed if you want the specifics. haha, what kind of a question is that?!
bro: i tot u are out wat... just go to slp la. pls u are big liao, take care of yourself. u are suppose to take care of dad lor. he not in good mood and he's tired.
me: i dont stay out so late on weekdays. relax, i'm just telling you i cant sleep. i'm trying to i swear! and i'll take care of old man, no worries. okay, go study hard!
bro: ok. slp tight den.

is this the ultimate sign of cuteness or what?! i couldnt stop myself from laughing my intestines out, reading his messages!

on a serious tone, i was dragging myself everywhere today, and i made this insane decision to join the kids in training, instead of sitting at the grand stand comfortably and raising my voice occassionly. i had this sudden urge to let everything out, and i had no better idea than to run my balls off. i survived and completed it. i was actually surprised i said 'yes i can do it!' before we started our last 400m. i wondered silently to myself, 'since when was i ever that optimistic and strong-willed'. probably only on the track i am. if so, where has my qualification for finals gone to? the consolation was the compliment by miss tan that i'm not that off form after all, and of course that container of tau huay! ben and jerry's here i come! damn, i'm aching all over.

at least it kept me away from all the nonsense for awhile. on the long bus ride home alone again, i was too exhausted, i fell asleep. i've succeeded. i will sleep in peace tonight.



i love the world, but i love you much more




and you take all of me
