I was flipping through the sunday times's lifestyle when my eyes caught onto an advert for 'her world' magazine. The advert had the cover of 'her world' magazine on it. On the left column, it had a catchy phrase "Buy a $1.6m condo before 25". And i went, "I'm too late for it now :(" Then my eyes wandered to the right, which said "Proven in the lab! Nookie makes you smarter, richer, healthier". And i went "dam, that explains why i'm so stoopid and poor and have breaking knees"



Um... i don't know what that has to do with anything. Anyway, my colleague is in bali today, and for the next two days. She asked me if i wanted anything from bali. Well, i don't really know much about bali, so i didn't know what i would want if i wanted anything. I told her simply that i can't think of anything. um.. i don't know what this has to do with anything either.

I promised ginlai i would come up with something for her java assignment by monday. Came home pretty late on friday, went off on saturday for kamigawa pre-release and sunday went by with lots of good food. I kind of forgot about it until just now (which really is sunday night. i'm typing this at night to publish next morning in the office). Come monday i have to watch movie with my cousin and i can only do it on tuesday. I hate breaking promises.



I've printed yvonne's assignment, but lost the printing. I also haven't look at it too, but since its a entity relationship diagram, i think i should be able to do it in one night. Provided i don't fall asleep by ten o'clock. Waking up 0600 everyday makes me sleepy earlier in the night. Um.. yeah... i don't know what this has got to do with anything too.



The time now is 2145, i'm becoming very sleepy very quickly. I can't link things up to form the big picture, which kind of explains why i don't know what everything has got to do with anything. Did you know that the symptoms of losing sleep is the same as getting drunk. You enter that dreamy land and become a zombie.



Speaking of becoming a zombie, i remember talking to yinyin about me becoming undead. Think the topic was also about losing sleep. I told her i was becoming the living dead but i made a mistake and wrongly said that i was becoming the dead living instead. We were conversing in cantonese (um.. we only converse in cantonese, and yes, my most often used language in austrlia is not english but cantonese.). So the dead living in cantonese would actually mean i'm scolding myself. um... i really don't know how this has got to do with anything.



So i don't really know why people wanna spend all that money on alcohol when they can get the same effect by not sleeping. One might argue that drinking can effect socialism. But i'm sure you could socialise equally well by chatting on irc all night without sleeping.



Think the longest i ever gone without sleep was in gippy. Well... no mom to nag me about not sleeping. Think it was when bryan and me were having wierd ideas about resetting the body clock (we were sleeping at around 0300 or 0600). We played warcraft3 throughout the night, till the lil birds started singing to the tune of dawn. Think the sleepless marathon lasted 40 hours.



There was once i went to bed in evening daylight, and woke up with the sky already dark. My mom was washing clothes at that time. Since she was known to wash clothes both late at night and early morning, and i thought that if i missed dinner someone would wake me up, i immediately asked her "Is it morning or night?" That was the longest sleep i ever had, a full 15 hours.



I think i'll stop here, since nothing seems to have anything to do with everything. Maybe catch some sleep, or as ben always say, maybe play catching with uncle zhou's daughter in the garden.
