I just finished looking at manga series "Absolute Boyfriend".
It's so sweet with a sad ending. And it made me cry. :(

I love beginnings and the whole process after that, other than endings.
I absolutely hate them and I can't bear having to go through them.
Why must there be an ending when things are so good? I hate it when good things end.

And sometimes, end too quickly...

Sick Sick Sick... when can I really recover?
Sick that I am sick... I can't miss school!!!

And I need time to do work.
Haven't figured out the chords and melody for arranging tml.
Damn... I need better time management.
The guys made me cry today. So paiseh...

We had songwriting today and we needed to change the lyrics of "Yesterday". And Evan's group went to write a song on Jimmy's soon to be departure. When I read it, I just felt slightly sad and funny the way they wrote it. But when they sang it to Jimmy, tears just flow out of my eyes and I can't stop them.

I will miss Jimmy a lot. Being a small and cosy course, and with lecturers teaching us for at least two years, I can't bear to see them leave. And Jimmy also happens to be one of the lecturers that I look up to. Both my POD works are somewhat related to him (songwriting and business of music).

Part of the reason why I want to do the camp is to prove to him and the lecturers that with what they thought us, we have the capability to excel. And they did a great job in teaching us. DMAT lecturers are seriously a great bunch of responsible lecturers.

I don't want him to go. But I won't make him stay in this crap place if he can't take it anymore. We'll all miss him when he leaves. And I'll probably cry again :(

Don't know whay I am so emotional today. I guess I always am.

Argh... I am so so so so so tired.

Tired of ppl's pretense (but I guess it happens everywhere).
Why can't ppl just be straightforward and trash things out? Just say it when you are unhappy with something.

I dun hate TT, just feel funny with all the things and games that she's playing. I dun understand the need for playing such games (that goes for a lot of ppl too). It's like you don't know who to trust anymore.

I didn't feel so emo till today. The thing is, I probably know that all these are happening, but I just turned a blind eye to it. But now it's stuck in front of me, I just feel sad that all these is happening.

I guess I'll turn a blind eye to it again after a good night's sleep. :)
At least I know a person that I can fully trust!

Was being seriously random today.

Was still having motion sickness in the morning, so I didn't appear for songwriting. I seriously don't wanna miss it, but I can't get out of bed.

Went to gems and did my presentation today. Then went up to t20 to find that electronic band practice is cancelled. I was actually looking forward to it.

Then met min ru and we went to eat at fc5 and I bought a new winnie the pooh mouse. It's so so so cute. Love it.

As I said, this is a random blog. Haas...

THE POWER OF SLEEP

Sleep to be SEXY, SMART and SLIM. The need of sleep is growingly being viewed as a sign of weakness for some people. However, by not sleeping, you feel groggy and none of your systems are firing on all cylinders. You don't think straight, make good decisions, remember where you parked your car or feel like making love.

And worst still, the resulting chemical glithches will put you on the fast track for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and even obesity.

Here are some strategies for a good night sleep.

The daily schedule
1. Wake up at the same time everyday. Sunlight activates the brain and activating it at the same time every morning teaches your brain that at midnight it's supposed to be asleep and at noon it's supposed to be awake.
2. Give yourself an hour right before bed. You need to wind down and make the transition from the person-who-can-do-everything to the person-who-can-sleep. Do not do housechores, take care of children, do activities with family members, go online nor catch up with work.
3. Put yourself first. Put your needs ahead of others. If your partner snoring wakes you up, help him get treatment. If he refuses to cooperate, put him in another room.

Work and life
1. Dump the 24/7 stuff. Draw up your to-do list, then take a big breath and start crossing things off. You'll realise that you really don't have to do it all.
2. Don't work so late. The prevailing thought is that you have to stay late to get the job done. The truth is that it's better to go get some sleep, then come back to do more work in the morning.
3. Manage the electronics. Turn off your mobile in the evening, and the instant notification on your email too. Switch off the monitor ditch the night light and rotate the clock-radio display. Total darkness tells your brain that it’s time to sleep.

And no, I'm not advertising.
Sly sent me a funny yet meaningful sms today:
If your life is in darkness, don't despair. Just pray. After praying, if your life is still in darkness, don't be stupid; go switch on the light!
A lot of beautiful things in life are dangerous.
Juat a random thought.

No mood for meals. Feel like vomitting everytime I eat.
Something's wrong with me.
Maybe it's bad karma. Haas...

When can I start to get a life? LOL...
