and it makes me wanna throw up

darnit. i hate how my body clock is totally screwed up now. i’m supposed to go to work at the library at 10am, and here i am, STILL awake at 7.16am. help.

it’s not my fault, really. just as my efforts at recalibrating it were kinda working, i went and had the flu on tuesday night… or actually, wednesday morning, at like midnight. anyway, it’s the post-exam sickness, i swear. if you happen to not fall ill despite all the stress and lack of sleep during the exam period, don’t feel too lucky yet, because your body is just saving it all up for one big bout of flu or something to take revenge for the poor nutrition and unhealthy living habits you imposed on it while ’studying’ for the exams.

or at least i think that’s what my body does to me.

anyway, feel free to skip the later bits, it’s just about me getting the flu. so exciting. well actually, i’m trying to make myself sleepy since there is no school now and there are no readings i can use (i threw most of them away already) to make myself fall asleep with now. you’ve been warned.

i wanna know what it’s like / on the inside of love

just a fyi for the few of you who still read my blog:

i seldom blog now, but i still twitter a lot, so in the event that you want to find out what random thoughts i have all day, do check out http://twitter.com/eerational (if you already have me on facebook, the updates are exactly the same, though).

also, i now own eerational.com! only for a year, but still. i’ve ported my blog over to http://blog.eerational.com but i’m not quite sure what i’m going to do there yet, but you can check it out anyway if you want :D

and sigh, i just have to complain/whine about how i hate the fact that my holiday room is of a completely different orientation… yes, i know i should just suck it up but argh!!! everything that was on my right is now on my left… and now i have to change the layout of my desktop/monitor/speakers setup too. bother. and as always, moving is a bitch. i spent an hour cleaning the room (it wasn’t that bad, until i started cleaning under the bed, where the dirt and dust made my feet turn black), which was followed by over two more hours of shifting and unpacking stuff… and i’m only about 25% done. i’ll save the rest for tomorrow evening because everything else is ‘essential’ (and therefore should be moved last) and i don’t want to move my clothes when i’m already kinda grimy and gross.

but on the bright side, there is still how i met your mother to bring me good cheer. i think it’s really good, and can’t quite believe i didn’t start earlier. but better late than never! also, the soft serve from MOF is totally awesome. i went with yy and maryam today after lunch at the food centre, and oh boy… it’s just so damn good. it’s like heaven in a cup, and when i eat it i feel like all my worries are gone and the world is a wonderful place to be in… seriously. go try it if you haven’t! it’s 20% off on weekdays and a soft serve cone (LOTS of soft serve in a cone, duh. simple but oh-so-good) only costs $2.20. trust me when i say no other soft serve will cut it after you try MOF’s! i’m already thinking about when i can go and get another mof soft serve… haha!

okay, time to go take a shower, watch an episode (or two) of HIMYM and then sleep so i can try and wake up in time to go and stare at microfilms tomorrow… i still dread the evening when i have to pack/move/unpack some more… :( and oh yes, exams. i think i screwed up for everything but SSA2211 (and maybe even IT1003?) but oh well, who cares, i’m not bothering till 29 may. yup that’s it for now, see you guys over at twitter! ;)

if music be the food of love, play on

argh! i keep forgetting that stupid wordpress somehow always gives me a blank post when i publish something new. and so i have to write this all over again… argh. re-blogging is never the same, darnit.

anyway, i wanted to blog about my parents. about how i take them for granted sometimes, and how i sometimes feel like they don’t really care that much, since i’m in hall most of the time and they seldom call to ask about how i am, how’s everything and all. i do enjoy the independence but of course i sometimes want to know that they care.

but when they travel half an hour from their workplace (and like an hour, if they come from home) to bring me lunch or dinner and the homemade apple and orange juice i really like, i know that they do care and that yes, despite all my doubts and the arguments that sometimes break out at home, i am loved.

the angry quarrels we sometimes have illustrates how my mum and dad are not exactly what i would consider perfect parents. but hey, like shanta put on her facebook status yesterday, i’m far from perfect, too. so it all evens out, yes?

so yes, the chicken rice from boon tong kee, the apple and orange juice and the surprise box of bird’s nest really made my day :)

and i guess i should go and sleep now so i can try to wake up before noon tomorrow… i mean today.

2 more papers to go and then temporary freedom because i have to getting ready to move… sigh i hate hate hate hate hate moving. i can’t wait for the exams to end so i can go out and have nice, good food. i want my mexican and indian food. and good pasta. okay better stop now before i make myself hungry.
