if you're wondering why i'm up at this ungodly hour in the morning, it's because yesterday i piggyfied and slept till 1 in the afternoon, waking up practically only for breakfast and lunch and then retreating under my blanket to continue the siesta. which is why i'm sort of in hyperactive mode right now and compulsively tapping away at keyboard; either that or my body just got bored of sleeping. i don't understand why people say that the best way to diet without feeling hungry is to go to sleep! am i the only person who can wake up at like 3 or 4 in the morning and determine that it's because of an unfulfilled craving to finish the box of oreos that's sitting around helplessly in the kitchen? (although my all time favourite midnight comfort food is cereal and milk because it reminds me of the times when i was a kid and used to get such a kick from pouring spoonfulls of sugar over my cereal when my mom wasn't looking) and i know that it's really unhealthy and all because it makes the fats congeal in your toes or something, but isn't it the best feeling in the world to go to sleep on a full stomach right after you've had a really heavy meal? it's like once you lie down, your hands have such a comfy little place to rest themselves on your nice round tummy. and then when you wake up, you feel rejuvinated and lighter because hey, while you were sleeping the food suddenly just melted away! and now you're all rested and fresh and ready to conquer the world :)

in fact just thinking of that makes me happy!

actually i slept kinda early last night because it was yakky's surprise birthday party yesterday, so i was quite tired when i got back because i spent most of the time hovering around the barbeque pit helping to nurture the satay and chicken wings. the thing about barbeques is that you hardly get to eat any food which tastes the way it should, and plus there's always the dirt factor of reusing the same tongs and skewers for all breeds of cooked and uncooked food, which is really quite disgusting on its own and even more so if you're a hygeine freak like i am. anyway the best thing to do during a barbeque is to keep an eye on the food so that you'll know which pieces were victims of unfortunate sweat/blood/unwashed skewer incidents and, more importantly, you'll have first access to the really juicy satays or whatever. but anyway after a while all the food at barbeque tastes the same, which is probably no thanks to the fact that you just dump the fresh meat onto the same carbon-ridden spot on the grill which the previous ten chicken wings occupied, and so everything just soaks up the same oil and the taste mingles together. which is quite gross yes but this is a barbeque and everybody expects a bit of food poisoning the day after.

anyway it's good that joseph's party was a success because i think most of us owe quite a percentage of our grades to last-minute mugging of yakky's tutorials and lec notes, so at least we got to do something in return by helping out with the party :p and of course most of us got dunked and *cough* betrayed our allies- i was just helplessly standing around watching someone else get dunked and thinking thank gosh that's not me when suddenly the girls had sneaked up from behind, each grabbing an arm or leg, ran to the pool and just swung me in! and this was despite all my screaming and kicking and punching- so who says girls are less violent than guys?! anyway heee i claimed my own unsuspecting victim after that so 'twas not for naught that i got wet. next time i shall ensure that i plant my bum on a chair the whole time, and better yet, always keep my hands clutched around a plate of food as hostage material.

but for now, i hear cereal and milk calling my name, so we know what has to be done! =D
