Even though CNY is only a bit more than 2 days away, i don't feel the festive spirit at all. maybe it's because i don't appreciate the 2 (or 3?) days' break that the working and schooling population get, considering that i don't belong in either of those categories.
my gastric flu's gone! thankfully it wasn't as serious as expected. no vomiting or anything nasty like that, though a tiny bit of queasiness comes back every now and then. i think the reason for this particular bout of illness not being as bad as it could have been is because of the honey water. apparently, the honey i used has some amazing biochemical properties. can't exactly remember everything my aunt told me about it (that was over 4 months ago!), but the bottom line is that it's very good for health. and i suppose the fact that there's a bit of barley and lime in there helped too.
now that the horrible bug has left my system, it's time to seriously begin working on that running plan again. going to begin on sunday morning, since saturday mornings are otherwise occupied. i suppose i'd better start resetting my biological clock too. i've been sleeping at close to 4am and waking up around 12+pm for the past 2 days. needless to say, i won't be running on sunday morning if i'm still asleep, right? so, better get off to a good start. in fact, i'm going to (attempt to) sleep by midnight today, in order for me to get my 7 hours of rest.
i can never understand how women can repeat the same story over and over again, and sometimes to the same audience! ever since the whole "lying maid" spectacle in december, my mum has told the story no less than 6 times over the phone with me in earshot. who knows how many more repetitions were done outside of my presence? it was pretty tolerable the first 2 times, but after that, it just got boring (and increasingly annoying). but well, i guess it's justifiable to want everyone to know about it...serves as a warning.
as mentioned previously, i got a samsung omnia! i've more or less figured out the essentials of the phone, like calling and sending SMSes, along with some other enhanced features, like connecting to the internet and some of the more PDA-ish aspects. i won't deny it's a cool piece of equipment, but the change-resistant part of me is sort of wishing i got more of a phone than a PDA. oh well. nothing i can't live with. i do have a few little issues with some of the displays and text input methods, but i'll adapt.
the boredom from slacking at home has forced me to go blog-hopping. i notice that my friends don't really update as frequently as i do. obviously, it's because they are (1) in camp, (2) working, (3) studying, or (4) otherwise using their time more constructively than i am. i REALLY need to get a job/life. anyways, back to the topic if my friends' blogs. reading some of their archives is kind of entertaining, especially when you see them type in alternate caps (something which i absolutely loathe, and thankfully, have never deliberately done) and hybridize english and chinese (eg. i went to do it le!) back when they were in secondary school. i don't mean to be mean, but i can sort of understand why the english standard is slipping. then again, a blog is an informal setting, so i suppose it's ok to write less-than-perfectly. should be harmless as long as it doesn't carry over to school/work life.
maybe i'll head out later in the evening to mail my omnia's warranty card. could use some fresh air. well, as fresh as the air gets in bishan on a friday evening, anyway. might help me straighten out some of my thoughts.
