Smile, Empty Soul.
it's been awhile..
there's something about my room in Eusoff that makes me not wanna blog. either that, or i've just been plain lazy. eusoff foc has unofficially started, the official date being tomorrow.
I don't usually talk about my day. but i'm about to do just that right now, except that i'm not going to talk about today but friday.
adventure camp in sentosa on friday was something i initially felt obligated to attend but after attending, made me realise it was kinda fun after all. the programmers did a good job with the games and everything was pretty much under control. night time was spent bbq-ing (i'm having trouble spelling that out in full), 'cept that i didn't do any cooking at all. Pit-hopping and needless to say, eating the food, was more of a thing for me and it does't make you look like you're eating up everything they cook without helping since you're not always THERE gobbling up whatever's ready to be eaten. besides, there was only one pit i could help out at and that was the seniors' pit and they had more than enough people cooking there. willingly, i must add.
so that was the barbeque part. spent the rest of the night lazing around at the beach with a few others. we spent about a good hour telling ghost stories that sent shivers running down my spine. seriously. we got so scared lav and me didn't dare go to the toilets alone. we were hanging out at the yellow beach chairs at pahlawan beach and that was where lav, me, justin and mario fell asleep too. that was about 4-ish. it was freezing cold that night. i was using justin's extra t-shirt to cover my legs. i remember telling mario i was thankful justin's big cos his shirt was big enough to cover my whole legs, that were freezing from the night wind at the beach.
i was then awakened by tiny little droplets of water on my face. it took me a few seconds to realise it had started drizzling and judging by the amount of clouds in the night sky, i expected a heavy downpour soon after.
i sat up and saw lav and justin getting up as well. but mario was still sound asleep. the frequency of the drizzle was starting to increase. mario was finally woken up by my 'oei wake up! it's raining!!'. it was when we started running back to the camp area that i realised Justin wasn't Justin, but Sujin. i don't know how i could've mixed them up, considering one's a guy and the other, a girl. moreover, they are at opposite ends of the line when it comes to body size because sujin's really petite. the night must have somehow drugged my mind and vison. or perhaps, it was the gastric (from eating too much, i suspect) that attacked me the whole night.
back at the tent, lorraine and anna were sound asleep. lav and me got in and the four of us settled down and slept. i was enjoying the comforting warmth in the tent, in contrast to the cold rainy weather outside. it felt so good.
we then felt the first tiny droplets. i zipped up the whole tent but the droplets kept coming. lorraine thought the tent was leaking and she was right. soon after, puddles of water started forming on the ground sheet. since the tent was a squared one with a roof high enough for us to stand, we stood up carrying our bags and waited. it was 6am and we were huddled in the middle of the tent, with droplets of rain that kept coming in.
lav said she had a small umbrella, small enough to get you drenched if you decide to share it to get to a proper shelter. we wanted to use fully utilise the umbrella, so we decided to use it in the tent. i'm telling you, we looked adorable and the whole idea seemed funny.
a couple of times, we caught shadows walking past our tent and we wondered what was going on outside. we shouted to the shadows from inside the tent but our voices were drowned by the sound of the heavy rain outside. we wondered if the other tents were soaked as well. then, another shadow passed by. i undid the tent zipper a little and lorraine and me placed our mouths there and shouted for help.
it was good old justin with a huge canvas sheet on his head.
him: is anyone in there???
us: yes!! the tent's leaking!
him: ok, i'm have a canvas sheet on my head and i have one umbrella here. i'm going to bring you to the shelter, okay??
he then unzipped the tent rescued us to safety.
i sensed the hilarity of the situation that was so full of drama. the whole idea of an emergency life-saver saving a few victims on a stranded island came to my head. in the midst of the chaos in the heavy rain, i made a mental note to laugh about it later.
apparently, most of the freshmen had already been "rescued" from their soaking-wet tents and they were obediently waiting at the shelter area near 7/11. the four of us joined them, called a cab and waited for it to come.
and so it happened again, the same downpour that hit last year's eusoff f.o.c at east coast. the weather is never on the ehoc programmers' side.
the cab finally came and we reached eusoff at about 8am, after which, i took a hot shower and went to bed. that evening, i sent my best friend off at the airport. i'll miss her dearly.
thanks for the bracelet, sis.
indeed, it was an adventure camp. the word 'adventure' would not be apt if it hadn't been for the heavy rain.
i know, i know. it's only the rain, but it did lead to chaos. so, drama a bit, can? my life is boring enough as it is.
it's dad's birthday tmrw and we'll be off for a celebration lunch later. this means good food, i cannot wait.
i'm tired of blogging. so, bye now.

"Whatever you're feeling, just dance it."
i watched Center Stage again. it's been a while since i last caught the movie and as always, i enjoyed it. ironically though, the dances that were more entertaining were the non-traditional ballet ones, considering the crux of the movie is ballet. the salsa part was hot, it makes you wanna salsa too. amazing. check out the way they SshhhHAkkke their bodies and their booties *whistles*. the comtemp ballet parts were pretty entertaining too.
i wonder why they didn't release Center Stage in the local cinemas. i mean, i dont think you need to have the love for dance to enjoy the show.
well, maybe you do, at least a little. hmm.
time for bed and hopefully, this cold will go away when i wake up in the afternoon morning. sniff.
Salsa with me? Anyone? No? She's right, i am cursed!

Frivolous.
haRh! kudos to me for my success in dragging my fatass out of bed this morning, at an ungodly hour of 8, to go for a morning jog. i deserve a pat in the head, really, considering the fact that i ended up sleeping at 3am last night. this morning, rather.
with plans of the morning jog in my head (to ease the discomfort of feeling fat from not exercising for days), the determination to sleep early was definitely palpable. i made a conscious effort to brush my teeth early and tucked myself under the covers at about 2am, after which, i forcibly shut my eyes. As of then, the plan was going perfect.
then the screw-ups began. my eyes were shut but my mind was alive and kicking (figuratively). i tossed and turned. i could not sleep. and for some strange reason, my mind drifted to food, mainly, sandwiches. no matter how hard i tried, to force those destructive thoughts out of my head, my mind was fixed on FOOD.
frustrated, i got out of bed and made myself sandwiches (wish i had more willpower to abstain. sadly, i dont). ate them and watched some television at the same time, although i spent half the time switching channels. warning: saturday night should never be a tv night because you'll go crazy switching channels.
i finally made entered the realm of unconsciousness at approximately 3am.

no, not the nose. something else.
i can't say. hush, it's a secret.
it's probably just the night.

Someone punched me in the nose...
not.
it's just a freaking pimple. have you ever had a pimple in your nose? i have one now and it hurts like hell. i can't touch my nose, let alone hit it. well, of course i dont usually hit my nose but sometimes you do so by accident, know what i mean? sigh, this is alos making face cleansing difficult for me. and on top of that, i'm having a teeny flu and i can't blow my nose without wincing.
if i could, i would apply oxy. but in my nose? ew.
i just sneezed and boy, did it hurt. i can't even bend down to touch my toes when i stretch because somehow, the blood rush to my head will trigger the pain in my nose(do correct me if i'm wrong).
my poor nose.(this is where you roll your eyes)
okay. just a pimple. no big deal. get over it.

Mine All Mine
The sun kisses the windowsill and I am still
On my second cup of pity me
It's been a long night chasing ghosts but at the most
It's been a rude awakening
That all too late I finally see
That it's my loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all mine
And it's my bad, my broken
All my should have's left unspoken
Mine all, mine all mine
I drove you to the edge of the map and after that
I pushed you off just to watch you fall
You never were the bounce back kind
But boy this time you've proven me wrong after all
Now I'm the one who's gonna crawl
'Cause it's my loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all mine
And it's my bad, my broken
All my should have's left unspoken
Mine all, mine all mine
Always thought I'd get to sorry
But the chance has come and gone
So if it finds it's way back in
I'll hold on hold on hold on
My loss, my lonely
My mistake, mine only
Mine all, mine all, mine all mine

you stinkhead.
my sister stinks of cigarette. that bitch has been smoking. in 50 yrs time if she ever dies of lung cancer due to smoking, i'll have only four words for her.
I told you so.
Don't they know how much ciggies stink?? i heard people who smoke themselves don't smell it. either that or they smell something else. oh trust me, it stinks like fuck. the odour on their clothes stink even more than the smoke from the ciggies.
i feel like being a prick and telling my parents. and as a result, i hope she gets grounded for the rest of her life.
Just because she smokes.
you wanna be the black sheep in the family? you got it. not even your own DAD smokes, baby.
oh my god, you have no idea how much the room stinks right now. my blood is boiling.

Pink Nightmare
i'm using the com in my room because my laptop is in my dorm room. and almost the whole desktop is in pink, thanks to my sis.
and yep, we had finally gotten our keys to our rooms in eusoff. i'm happy with my new room. it looks.. well, very new. did a thorough cleaning of the whole room 'cept for the very top, ceiling-high compartment of the wadrobe, because i'm too short not tall enough to reach that high. even when i was standing on a chair, sadly. then i figured, i'm probably never ever gonna use that part of the cupboard anyways, so screw it.
also ran into a couple of fellow 'hostelites', who came to collect their keys as well. they haven't been staying in hall during the vacation. am glad to hear i'm not the only one who dreads moving out of home, back to hall. not that dorm life isn't fun but i'm totally enjoying carefree home life too. moving back to hall means more fun and friends but it also means school is starting and i don't wanna go to sch. *whines* not yet. and the start of school only means more lectures, tutorials, assignments, tests and exams.. and another vacation after that!
hmm maybe, school isn't such a bad idea.

Purr.
i want a cat. i want a cat. i waaannntt a caaatt. *whines*
took a stroll at the park nearby earlier. i sound like an old lady, but who is to say that only old people take strolls? i'm always running at the park, so i thought, for a change, i'd walk instead. 'twas a good feeling. not many people there at night, just a few joggers, an auntie lazing around at the benches and me walking aimlessly with a can of nescafe in my hand.
and then there was this cat. she was roaming around the bushes, as if looking for something. i sat at the bench nearby and said 'meow'. she came over. i guessed it was a she because i saw her body when she rolled on the ground. it looked like a she to me. i could be wrong, it was just a guess after all. not even an intelligent one. but i'd like to think it was a she, so let's just assume it was a she, shall we?
well, she was SO cute. enough said. she almost followed me home. that made me happy. part of me wanted her to follow me home but part of me also knew my mom would flip and i'd eventually have to say goodbye to her (the cat, not my mom) at the doorstep.
so goodbye, kitty. may we meet again.
i finally caught Spidey2 with my bro this afternoon. good show.. if only Spiderman's my boyfriend, i'd make him bring me out for a swing everyday. like, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee... it'd be so fun! i don't want tobey mcguire though. James Franco looked hot. he's so handsome, i could just gaze at him. and he beefed up his body cos he looked much thinner in Spiderman. good for him. good for him.
okay, i am going to watch '13 going on 30 now'. Caught 'Mean Girls' and 'COATDW' 'COATDQ' yesterday. go figure what that is. clue: Lindsay Lohan. believe it or not, the latter movie was better than 'Mean Girls'. Rachel McAdams was so pretty, can't wait to catch her in The Notebook. now now, no worries.. i shall not start raving on abt Jonathan Bennet. ;)
time to catch Jennifer Garner. too many good-lookin people in the world, urgh. ok now, toodydles!

nooooooo!!
i was trying to search for the book (refer to previous entry) because i knew i had it somewhere. nicely wrapped and all. But all i could find was the other four books by NS. all except for "The Notebook".
After wrongly accusing my sis of borrowing and misplacing it, i then remembered giving the book away to whom used to be a special someone.
I feel childish. It's a frustrating, argh-ish feeling. then again, it was given to him with sincerity and meaning. i don't regret it at all. after all, he did mean something to me. the book was a special possession of mine and i wanted him to have it.
but still! hmpfh. it's not that i want the book back. i had simply forgotten i gave it away.
i don't know why i'm frustrated. sigh. The things you do when you're in love (giving away what used to be your favourite book. aww how sweeet).
Well anyways, go read the book. it's immensely moving. touching love story. best one of all NS' books. definitely better than A Walk To Remember. :)

The Notebook
i must be real slow to realise this only now but ohmygod, there're making a movie out of 'The Notebook'! i love that book, it has one of the most touching stories ever. that's the 3rd Nicholas Sparks book to be made into a movie. cool, huh?
i have to catch this one.

Just another friday afternoon.
That would make a good song title, don't you think?
ok forget i said that. Did you know that Vera Wang used to do figure skating? well, she still does but we all know she's one hell of a fashion designer in america. caught another oprah show earlier. she invited vera wang, condoleezza rice (ok i hope i spelt her name right) and eBay CEO, Meg Whitman. three of the most powerful women in america. well anyways, they had this mini fashion show on VW's dresses. one of the models looked a tad familiar. then i realised she was Lisa from "Are You Hot?". Digression: Lisa's pretty but she isn't that hot. i was glad chantille won, that babe was uber HOT.
okay, back to vera. hmm, oh i just found out vera wang has her own line of beauty products as well. and not surprisingly, the audience got them for free. i think it's funny the way oprah casually and nonchalantly announced the free gifts for the audiences. i mean, she gives away stuff in almost all her shows that i'm sure her audiences had seen it coming. no surprise element needed.
today's a stay home day. surprisingly, i find staying home a comfort somehow. played the piano for a bit, something i haven't done in a long time. and i swear to god i'm the cheesiest person i know. please do not mention this to anyone, but i watched VIP earlier on Star World. yes, the one with booby woman. even worse, used to catch it on channel 5 almost every week last time. and i've also been watching a bit of 'The Bold and The Beautiful'. shame on me. blame it on boredom. and starworld.
And for some strange reason, the school opposite my place is playing this song:
The more we get together, together, together,
the more we get together, the merrier we'll be.
For your friends are my friends,
and my friends are your friends.
The more we get together, the merrier we'll be.
I wonder how that song came about. hmm. the things people do to maintain peace. i hate Jenny but if Jenny's your friend, she's my friend too. Let's make the world a merry place to live in.
okay, i'm going back to 'The Guardian'. couldn't finish reading it last night. oh, did i mention how funny Nicholas Sparks is? He's almost as funny as Sophie Kinsella. i can't really say more, you gotta read the book to find out. G'day, world!
Disclaimer: Naj doesn't know any Jenny, except for the one is Kingdom of Dreams, who doesn't really exist since she's only a character in a novel, created by Judith McNaught. a good one, i must add.

12:00 a.m.
warning: long entry ahead
Oh God, this bus is damn packed. How the hell am I gonna get out? i'll probably squeeze my way out, hopefully without having to grab someone's bum in case the bus jerks.
okay, i can do this. easy-peasy. just be kiasu and push. no, don't push. Just slowly inch your way out. i'm not tall but i'm sure the bus driver won't close the door before i alight.
finally, i manage to make my way to the rear door. with grace and expertise, i must add. i'm so good at this. it's as if i was born to handle crowds. hah! with much satisfaction, and thoughts of dinner at home awaiting me, i alight the bus and heave a sigh of relief. that bus sure was packed. shoulders up and equipped with a smile, i begin my walk home purposefully.
*WHAM* ahhhh! shit. no!!! my slipper. argh! shit. God, please let me disappear. now! no, shit, i'm still here. I can't believe this is happening. Everyone's watching. Everyone in the sardine bus and the bus behind. AND the people at the bus stop. Everyone. People should learn to look away when someone trips. How could i have missed this stupid plank! Oh god, this is embarrassing. (i suck at storytelling. so in case you're wondering what happened, i had violently tripped over a plank almost falling but thankfully, didn't.)
Reminding myself to thank god that i didn't fall flat on my face, i turn and pick up my right slipper that has conveniently slipped off when my right foot tripped over the plank and make my way home, with an exaggerated limp.
*****
okay, that was a bad attempt at narrating the incident but i couldn't care less. They say things happen when you least expect it. now, that, i did not expect. not when i had just successfully accomplised the tedious task of squeezing my way out of a bus packed with sardines. Part of me wished i could just disappear on the spot while thoughts of possessing Piper's freezing power ran through my head. At the same time, i had half a mind to sit down on the floor and nurse my painful toe, looking pathetic and helpless, hoping for a kind, caring (and hopefully, cute) passer-by to come to my aid. Well of course i didn't do that. Instinct told me to avoid looking at the faces that witnessed my embarrassing stunt and walk home. Instinct also told me to limp more and stop once in a while to check my toe instead of rushing home in obvious embarrassment, with hopes of diverting people's reaction from "hilarity of the incident" to "concern for the injured".
I tried putting myself in the shoes of a passenger in the bus, looking out of the window. This young lady (that's me!) alights the bus, with a satisfied smile, strides away purposefully and then, *toing*. She trips over a plank in the most violent manner you can ever imagine, leaving a slipper behind. how unglam. on top of that, i have a swollen toe to remind me of the memorable incident.
okay, i'm probably making a big fuss out of this but hell, i was so embarrassed. i am a klutz but it definitely isn't a habit of mine to make a spectacle out of myself in front of many pairs of watchful eyes.
Shit happens, yeah?
Moving on, today was definitely good. hanging out with jacq and lin was swell, not forgetting the cutie we saw at Pastamania. oh boy. it's the kinda face that makes you wanna smile and grin all day. i'm telling you, that was a top class eye candy. oh, and then there was utt, spotted by lin. utt, who's cute, yeah. but his looks doesn't do much to me. he's just.. cute. i've probably seen him too much on mtv.
emergencee. gotta pee. (that rhymes!) okay, i've counted. 5th time in 2 hours. toodles!

Oprah's on tv right now. i love watching her show. today's show basically focuses on watching one's health. Did you know, that caffeine makes one younger and it reduces the risks of getting Alzheimer's disease? that's good news because i looovvvveeee coffee. The downside is that sugar makes one age faster. So the caffeine intake should not be accompanied with high sugar intake (note: Coke is BAD). More stuff..
1) real cocoa is healthy fat, milk cocoa is aging fat. therefore, drinking milk made with real cocoa powder would be much healthier
2) replace your coke intake with diet coke
3) eat using a smaller plate (it's been scientifically proven that doing so prevents one from overeating)
4) smoking is bad. (understatement of the century)
okay, i couldn't really catch the rest. oh wait there's more!
When you're shopping at the supermarket, bear these in mind.
1) cereal should contain more than 3 grams of fibre (i didn’t manage to catch the reason why but trust me, he's a professional, he knows better)
2) orange pepper is good for the eyes
3) watermelon raises the SPF levels on your skin (ok, i'm sure everyone knows this one)
4) apples should be eaten with the skin, to look younger
5) pumpkins give skin a rosy slow (i had no idea!)
6) berries keep brain young (and fresh? ahhaha)
7) For caffeine intake, choose black or green tea cos they've got a high level of god-knows-what that can prevent cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis and stroke
8) Tomato paste: healthy skin and fights prostate cancer (now i feel like eating spaghetti)
9) try to avoid sugar coated cereals, movie popcorn (hear that?!), processed food.

Ella Enchanted
i was definitely enchanted! that was a feel good show. *beams* no, don't go spend 6.50 or 8.50 on it. just grab a vcd or download the movie, it'll make your day. at least, it made me smile. hell, it made me grin!
it's a total fairytale, with bits of modernity here and there. plus giants, fairies and elves. i love fairytales and i'm sure this sentiment is shared by many. oh and the soundtrack's good too.
oh my, it's already three in the morning. i should start sleeping earlier, considering i haven't been able to wake up before 12pm everyday. but now, i'm wide awake. i can even watch another movie. maybe another chick flick. how abt "13 going on 30"? you may be wondering how i've managed to get hold of all these movies. if you think i downloaded them, you're wrong. i haven't been able to live up to the title of a "pirate" (bestowed on me just because i downloaded the whole OC series. how dumb. and yes, i've got them. all of them! muahaha.) because of the annoyingly slow connection at home lately. and thus, i have to rely on vcds and dvds from JB. wait a minute, that makes me a pirate too, doesn't it?
bah, who cares.
I JUST WANT MY PRINCE CHARMING! i wanna live in a fairytale and i don't care if i can't change my story. it'll be a good ending anyways.
okay that's coming from the silly absurd me. me who has been intoxicated with fairytale doses. me who's typing nonsense right now. me who thinks she's high and awake.
me who probably needs to get some sleep.

Match report at an ungodly hour.
The Greek victory marks the end of Euro2004. i'm glad the team i was rooting for won but i can't say i'm truly thrilled since there wasn't any "emotional attachment" involved. Anyhows, kudos to Greece. i must say their defence was solid and their keeper was brilliant. i guess they deserve the cup. after all, portugal kinda messed up through the moments of desperation, especially Deco, that shortass who kept falling.
hmm. and i had no idea c.ronaldo was such a cry baby. pooorrr boooy. i think he was the only one in the team who shed tears. how unglam. okay, now. be nice, naj.
oh. then there was that lunatic of a fan who escaped from the stands and started running across the field. what was that about? how outrageous. poor figo. it's bad enough his team was losing, having a fan throw the flag at him must really felt sucky, what with being the team cap and all. jeez.
i must be insane not to be sleeping right now. it must've been the coffee. perks me up, those caffeine.

Message in the Bottle
that movie just ended on channel 5. it has a sad ending, which was expected though 'cause i read the book a few years back. catching the movie after having to read the book makes you realise the differences in the way a story is being narrated and expressed to the audience/reader. the book allows the reader to enter the minds of the characters while what you see on screen is just an actor/actress staring out into space in silence, leaving the audience only so much to conjecture.
and they shouldn't have made Kevin Costner play Garrett's role. he's borrrring. i think i've had too much of costner today. first, he was mentioned a few times in the book i was reading in the afternoon, "Perfect" by JM. yes yes. i'm not gonna start gushing about JM's (that's Judith McNaught[y], btw) books like i did in my old blog. but oh my god, she sure does know how to write to make a girl melt and evaporate. (read: Matt Farrell -and mus, he's mine mine MINE-). i mean, her stories are sooo sweet. *blushes*
ok enough of JM. went down to town today to return my Shopaholic and Sister back to Sunny Bookshop, after which i spent an hour and a half at Kinokuniya. omg, there're just so many books i wanna read but there's no way i'm gonna buy them all, at least not from kino. so what i did was memorise some titles and authors, after which i dropped by SANS bookshop at Tampines Mall (to facilitate the returning of books part, in case i get lazy), with intentions of borrowing them. and damn it, they didn't have most of the books. well, then i kinda lost the mood to borrow and read, and ended up getting myself some sushi and yogurt from the supermarket. i still have a few more of those yogurt in the freezer. (i bought 4, woohoo!) will eat them later.
hmm. aint feeling that all excited for the euro cup finals later. after much thought, and despite the fact that i believe portugal's gonna win, i shall root for the underdogs. i mean, it's no fun watching soccer if you dont take sides. whee hee.
oh yeah, this blog looks like shit now. will attempt to make amends later. i love the pic though. sexxyyy. i mean, the girl looks HOT. sigh, godhelpme i think i'm into girls now. anyways, yeah..something has to be done.. the blog looks awful.
this calls for more photoshop. wish me luck.

Do not mess with me!
You Are The Girlfriend From Hell!
You're hell on wheels, which is sometimes a good thing.
But it's often a bad thing, as you usually leave your guy's head spinning.
Slow down, or else your relationship will end in a loud crash.
Or you'll end up with a guy so wild - even you can't tame him.
What Kind Of Girlfriend Are You? Take This Quiz :-)
heh heh. :P

Greek Victory, bleah.
My prediction might just come true after all. Portugal's gonna win, man. urgh. Czech didn't make it to the finals, much to my disappointment. the portugese and the greeks started Euro 2004. now they're gonna end it. how cool is that. perhaps, since Greece beat Portugal in the starting match, things might take a turn and Portugal might beat Greece in the finale match. hmm. i just know it's all rigged. hurhur.
finished up Shopaholic and Sister last night. it wasn't as hilarious as the first 3 books but the ending was good. i'm hoping there'll be a 'Shopaholic and ____' or something soon. left that blank cos some people might not like me giving spoilers. hahahaha. hmm. perhaps i shld visit Sans bookshop later on and get me another book. hmm. on second thoughts, i'll just do it tmrw.
i'm getin sick of this layout but i'm just plain lazy to make any changes. oh oh oh.. will be moving back to hall this mid july. whooppiee.. i'm kinda excited to see my new room (although i know what it looks like, but still!) and decorating it. i kinda dread leaving home though, 'cause i'm so used to home now. and home food is definitely a big, yummy bonus.
and guess what, i'm still sleepy! it's really amazing how much i can sleep. sigh. i'm not gonna sleep though, not after the late lunch i just ate.
i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping. i'm not sleeping...
argh, this feels like counting sheeps. wth.

Nap Night
i can't believe my nap lasted 6 long hours. attended a four day NVAC camp since i was in the logistic team and as usual, camps = sleep deprivation. so yeah, got home at around 4pm, took a shower, plonked myself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. just woke up and had a very late dinner that consists of egg and sandwich (yum) and now, i'm feeling a tad sleepy again. perhaps i should sleep for another 2 hours and wake up for the match later.
Speaking of matches, i'm upset Holland didn't get through. though i gotta admit Portugal played good and Holland could've done a lot better. sigh.
To make up for the euro disappointment last night, Czech must win tonight. they have to. then they'll meet Portugal in the finals. That reminds me of the wager i had with Robbie last week. he thinks Czech's gonna win Euro and i, Portugal. As much as i'm desperately hoping for the opposite to happen, it seems almost inevitable that Portugal's gonna win.. what with being the host nation and having the whole country rooting behind them physically. Lose, Portugal, lose.
and that was my prayer. :P
wish i could blog more but i can feel myself succumbing to the sleepy calls. off to bed to resume my nap. Good night and may czech kick the greeks' asses tonight.
