appreciating a good sleep after a long weekend
after what has been a long, eventful weekend, i'm really glad i've just had a full complement of 8 hours of sleep.
watching transformers again at 11pm on friday started my sleep tab rolling, since i had tutorial the next morning at 9, but damn, it was really great to watch again. caught quite a few things i missed in the 1st view, like ratchet's sawblade being on his left arm and how through just one simple scene brought out starscream's sneaky-bastard character very, very effectively. i was mesmerised by the action the first time round and knew roughly what happened, but seeing it again just elicited a "that sneaky bastard" from me.
i could still watch it a third time. no kidding. even if it means gluing myself to the seat for another two and a half hours.
on a less pleasant note, i am very annoyed with school. just ONE WEEK to go before a supposed exam, and there's still a friggin' schedule conflict on saturday. on an EXAM DAY. what the hell. i can understand that there are bigger things i do not see at play here, but this is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable from a student's perspective. i need to plan and know when my exam is so that i can work towards it. it's downright farcical when something so simple as shifting a tutorial is taking such a long time to be put into effect. now there's even talk of shifting the exam again. seriously. after a few weeks of angry emails and still nothing's been done. i don't know what else to say before i lapse into cuss mode.
saturday night was fun though, despite my annoyance in the morning. it was jillian's 1st birthday celebration (she turns 1 on wednesday actually, she's a 7-11 baby. haha.) and we catered food from penang place. really, really yummy, especially the beef rendang. sedap!
plus the company was good, since jie invited jem and huimin while i called some of the peeps who were at the archdiocese youth day to drop by. great food and great wine is only made better in the presence of great company.
and in the face of a good deal of alcohol and a late night, i don't know how i managed to haul myself out to get burnt in the relentless sunday noonish sun to play ball with the guys. i'm positively charred right now and i'm just dousing myself with hazeline snow. and how i stayed out the whole day is someewhat of a miracle. after a good session of car bombing and tank romping with the guys in battlefield (being a virtual terrorist is fun. strapping c4 to a humvee or buggy and ramming it into a tank is a real thrill. and it's really funny to watch the buggy recoil when friendly fire is on and the occupants and buggy are unaffected by the tonnes of plastic explosive that just blew up.), i was somehow hauled out by van for becks's belated surprise birthday dinner and ended up getting surprised too with a belated birthday cake slice. it was a pleasant surprise and while i overslept on the bus home, i really enjoyed the evening out.
and now that i've gotten my sleep, it's time to switch to assignment mode since the assignment's due on saturday supposedly. stupid admin. before going out again... have a good monday peeps!
