recalcitrance

august is over.
ok well. almost over.
and here comes september.
freaking dry month.
no holidays.
no stand downs.
no medical appointments.
omg.


3 more freaking months!


ah. the countdown's finally starting to make sense.
from "1 year more!" to "9 months more!" to "6 more months!".

to finally. "3 more months!"
ok. those people who ORD in november is 2 months la.
but by the time u ORD, i won't even care abt the final one month.

lol.

to make it even better.
the fall schedules of many american TV stations are really giving away visual treats.

first of all, the 5-time emmy winner of outstanding reality tv programme,
THE AMAZING RACE is back with its season number 13.
really great casting.
back on sept 28 in USA, and hopefully channel 5 decides to broadcast it. =)
since it almost guarantees ratings.
haha...

and secondly!! the 5-time emmy nominee of outstanding reality tv programme,
SURVIVOR is back with its season number 17.
haha. real long series. but outstanding in each and every way.
back on sept 25 in USA, and similarly USA better telecast it.
lol.

thirdly,
PROJECT RUNWAY is already showing its newest season 5.
already 7 episodes in. and channel 5 is only telecasting SEASON 4.
one freaking season behing USA.
why even telecast when it's not the latest version.
its just like telecasting the opening ceremonies of the olympics with a delay of 4 years.
who will care to watch it.

fourthly,
AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, or better known as ANTM is back with season 11.
on the CW network on sept 3.
it features the first transgendered contestant on any reality show.
should be worth a good watch.
=)

so much good tv coming in September.
looks like it won't be as boring after all.

WHOOPIE!~

i experienced something wierd this morning.

well i slept at 12 midnight.

the next moment i woke up.
stared at my handphone (put under my pillow) and looked at the time.
i only saw the minutes and it said "40".
well that just meant i was late.
i rushed off to the bathroom and on my way passed by my dad's bag which he brings to work.

i wondered "why is he still home?"
i started bathing. silently cursed the heater for warming up water so slowly.
after i finished bathing, i put on my uniform and i was so ready to go to work.
just before i put on my socks, i stared at the clock above my door.

the minute hand was on 55. but the hour hand was just about to cross the digit "2".
"ah. the battery is out."
i took my sister's watch and illuminated it.
it read "1.50".

i was stunned.
it truely was 1.50a.m.
holy mama.
i felt a bit wierd.
as if i weren't myself.

and mind it, i even put on my contacts and all already.
i rinsed my hair, thinking about how stupid i was.
changed into sleeping attire.
and once again climbed into bed.

.
.
.
.
.

and the next moment i wake up.
it was only freaking 5a.m.
wtf was wrong with me?
first of all, i never wake up even if there're 10 alarm clocks ringing away.
secondly, i hardly had enough sleep for the past few days because of gossip girl.

i continued to sleep.
the next moment it was 6.45a.m.
and i was rushing to get out of the house.

my mum joked that i might need a psychiatrist.
do i?

just watched the 1om mens' diving and saw australian Matthew Mitcham snatch the gold from China's Zhou Luxin.

it was just spectacular to see how people won't give up though they know its either they give the performance of their lifetime or they lose.
and he did. a 112.10 final dive was more den enough to overcome the 108 point lead China had.

its kinda amazing how they stay so optimistic after they are so far behind.
i guess psychological training in sport events are an essential part of the games' preparation as well.
and maybe such training shld be incorporated somewhere so that non athletes like us can also be real optimistic about life, and not give up at the slightest thing that obstruct our paths that are clear as still water.

i'm kinda sad that the olympics are ending.
it was such a great showing from all the nations.
especially china.
i haven't been confident of their hosting of the games at first.
guess they proved me wrong.
certainly, they gave a specatular opening ceremony and i can totally expect the same for the closing ceremony 20 hours from now.
security was good. didn't hear any bad news. at least not that bad news.
i wonder if london 2012 will be able to deliver.
i sure hope they do.
if not no more nice showings also not nice. haha.


and i was also watching the 50km walk. omg. they walk one round in the bird's nest.
den exit and walk 24 laps outside before going back in.
they take 3hr 40 mins thereabout. holy mama.
that means their 2.4km WALK only takes 10mins 30secs.
and mind it. its their "walking" speed.
totally. i mean if they run sure below 7 mins.
lol. so crazy but i'm so shocked at how they can walk for 50km.
imagine its held in singapore...
walk from changi airport to boonlay aka one end to the other is only like 40+km.
and they do it in 3.5 hrs. lol.

i hate that the olympics is ending.
i hate that august is ending.
because september is totally boring.
with zero holidays.
omg. it'd be a miracle to pull thru.
and once we get past sept, its 1 month for aaron and hs.
and 2 for me and jy.
totally excited!

haha...
bravo to beijing! =)

sleep, to me, is super duper important.
i can easily sleep for 10 to 12 hours.
but work comes along and i can only sleep for 5 to 6.
abt 50% of satisfying sleep duration for me, at least.

well i can always sleep early. like at 8pm.
to achieve that irritating 10 hrs of sleep.
but how would my schedule be den?

6am - 6pm = work
6pm - 8pm = dinner + slack
8pm - 6pm = 10 hr sleep.

i mean. its quite pathetic when u only spend quality time with yourself on your "oh-so-comfy" bed for 2 freaking hrs per day.
that's like less den 10% of a day's 24 hrs.


argh.
i so swear that when i ORD,
i'd do a few things.

1. earn money (if not uni can really eat shit already)
2. sleep a lot (and i really mean a lot, its like repaying a sleep debt)
3. go overseas (sort of contridicting my first point, but a little relaxation is required)
4. sleep.
5. sleep.
6. go out with friends.
7. sleep.
8. sleep.

and it goes on and on.
freaking hell. 80 more working days if i never count wrongly!

i just need to get past them. =)




argh.
and i shld just sleep now. 5 hrs and 40 mins to the time i need to wake up.

i hate what i'm doing now.
