Taken from Mel's, on a I'm-at-home-but-don't-feel-like-studying mood.

1. My ex is: a bochup man now. =X

2. Maybe I should: stop eating cashew nuts now.

3. I love: my shiha-smoking dragon, kittens, Scruf-fat, the cashew nuts I'm eating now, to nua and everybody close to me. :)

4. I don't understand: why some girls can eat so much, don't exercise and stay so slim.

5. I lose: focus pretty easily (like now)

6. People say I'm: too sensitive. Hah. That is better than being totally insensitive.

7. Love is: about joy and laughter and plenty of conversation. Actually, its more than that. Haha.

8. Somewhere, someone is: ee-orh-ee-orh ing. *winks*

9. I will always: be anal about cleaniness.

10. Forever is: what you think it will be.

11. I never want to: live life alone.

12. I think the current US President: shouldn't have been re-elected. (haha, good one, Mel)

13. When I wake up in the morning: I sit up, switch off my alarm, throw Scruffy off the bed, set
another alarm and go back to sleep.

14. My past was: a joke.

15. I get annoyed when: things keep going wrong.

16. Parties are for: letting loose, drinking more and getting wild. If you ain't the type, just chill
out.

17. My dog: would not be a aggressive dog. (sorry, I still carry scars from that incident)

18. My cat: a greedy, active and yet nua cat.

19. Kisses are the best when: I give them! :)

20. Tomorrow: I don't wanna teach piano.

21. I really want: to be slimmer. If not, I really want to excel in performance-piano. Or be damn
good at designing print media.

22. I have low tolerance for people who: are air-heads and try to act cute.

Tagging: You readers. :)

Okay, back to studying!

Home at last. I was just looking at the photos I've recently uploaded on Flickr, and I realised any living creature who enters my room becomes fat/round, lazy and unglam.

Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xiaopei/

Since 2 Fridays ago its been one hell of a week (and a few days). Pulling about 3 to 4 all-nighters, sleeping for 2 to 5 hours only to wake up and start on more work...its been crazy. Thank you for keeping me sane, for making me smile despite the horrible deadlines. 4 assignments down, 2 more left to go.

I couldn't complete one assignment by the dead-line, hence ending up having to work over the weekend without being able to really relax, and I'm burnt out...I truly feel it. I'm sick and tired of staring at Microsoft Word, my head's throbbing from constant layout assessment, editing and basically staring at the computer. Even taking a nap doesn't feel good because I get jolted awake knowing full well I haven't completed my assignments and I cannot afford to sleep properly. 1 or 2 packets of Cafe Nova to last me through the day/night - I know not which anymore. I've seen the sun set and rise, said hello to the birds and squirrels of Eusoff, I've seen Scruffy sleep 22 hours out of 24 hours (literally) without catching a wink myself.

Now that I'm home.

I love the peace and quiet that greets me when I drop my bags down on a CLEAN floor, thanks to my anal mum who insists on a squeaky clean floor every day.

I love the feeling of washing my feet once I step into the house, and relieving my feet of the dust and impact that hardens up my soles.

I love the feeling of curling up on the kitchen chair and waiting for my mum to bring out some amazing (yet simple) tea snack.

I love the hot shower that I get to have at home - temperature high enough that I don't initially shiver at the first drops of water and water pressure high enough to give me a massaging sensation on my skin.

I love the smells from the kitchen everytime I'm in my room and my mum starts cooking.

I love the fact that I can walk straight from the bathroom to my dressing table - apply toner, moisturizer and pimple-control cream - knowing that my hands are really clean and I have all the time in the world to pamper my skin.

I love it when I walk less than 10 steps to a steaming hot dinner that tastes really HOME-COOKED.

I love it when I open up the fridge and discover one packet of soyabean milk together with frozen yogurt. (at least I know I have healthy food within reach anytime I'm hungry.)

Not to mention I love it when I wake up to breakfast. It can be bread and butter and a cup of Milo for all I care.

So why am I still staying in hall?

Because I get to see you more often.

Because I know I can really sit down and do work (because I feel like I'm in school - therefore must study constantly)

Because I dont' have a curfew to adhere to when I'm in school. I don't have to be home by 8pm.

Because it takes only 5 minutes to walk to my lecture/tutorial locations.

Because there's Scruffy, Patches and my shisha-puffing dragon (aka the pok) to make me really happy.

:)

I pulled another all-nighter. From Sunday till Monday morning.

P4100006
At 7am in the morning...
P4100008
The poks were sleeping...
P4100007
I wasn't.

I really ought to show you readers the actual picture I see at 7.25am now. Both cat and human were sprawled out in the same fashion - both on their backs, both arms and legs wide open (yes including Scruf-fat the cat)...one dreamt that he was climbing (I swear his limbs were moving in that fashion)...the other dreamt she was catching flying cockroaches.

Will you trust the words of a deranged person who has not slept the entire night?

Back to report.

24 hours all-nighter. One essay down. Worth it, I must say.

Considering the reward after:
08-04-06_0856
08-04-06_0857
Breakfast at Brekos (Holland V) !!!

We left hall about, say...8am? Saturday morning when half the world is still asleep, the other half were enjoying breakfasts of sunshine.

The rest of my Saturday was spent sleeping, NTUC-ing and watching TV at night. And thank you, for making me smile despite the horrible assignments and all.

2 down, 4 more to go. *faints* Looks like I'll be staying up through the night plenty.
