Slept at 2 am yesterday night..or shall I say this morning?
Slept at 2 am yesterday night..or shall I say this morning?
Can't believe myself. I actually took two & a half hours to fall asleep yesterday nite, which was effectively already this morning! I was feeling really sleepy, hence laid down on my bed at about 11.30 pm last nite, but 'tick, tick, tick', as the minute went by, I was still lying there wide awake, not even battling an eyelid! Thinking back, I merely drank a cup of coffee after dinner yesterday nite and the effect was so drastic! I never had this problem...I mean I used to be able to drink coffee even at 10 pm and I would be sleeping soundly within an hour!
I told Poodie about it this morning and she concluded that I was getting old, in her words "this is a symptom of old age"..my goodness! so my piggy is also getting old lor..cuz just the other day, he told me he also drank coffee at 11 plus or something and ended up sleeping only 1-2 hrs...cuz he couldn't get to sleep even after turning & tossing about for very long (but of course for his case, he actually got up & played computer games when he couldn't get to sleep while for me, I was trying really hard to sleep!!) Actually I seriously did contemplate getting up to update my blog at about 1 am when I still couldn't sleep but decided against it when I remembered what happened to my little piggy. I dun wish to sleep 1-2 hrs just because of the urge to update my blog..haha..so finally, with much difficulty & persistence, I fell asleep..at 2 am.
Of course, this morning, I was feeling rather grouchy (Poodie probably can testify to that), & I also felt rather down the whole day. Think partly PMS (but not actually pre also lah cuz "it" has already come) & partly cuz early in the morning, my boss called me into his room & handed over to me 4 or 5 files..for me to follow-up on. I am really getting more & more sick of work..I really hate it when everything comes at one go to me while MD has all the time in the world to concentrate on her event. I mean maybe I am mistaken but it seems like day in, day out, she is always dealing with the preps for that event and nothing else. For goodness sake, does she not know what is multi-tasking? On my 1st day at work and even before that at the interview, I was already clearly told that I was expected to multi-task & I would expect likewise for her lor..but it certainly isn't the case from what it seems. It's just so unfair that some people have the luxury to concentrate on one & only one task at hand while others have to juggle a few things at one go. To make things worse, my boss even went as far as to tell me this morning that I need to pressurise myself more, to make a difference, so that I won't just be caught up doing the mundane things. Ya, why dun he try telling that to MD too? It all sounds so nice & proper & just the right thing to do but did he use his good brain to think that at the end of the day, someone needs to do those admin stuff as well, cuz if nobody does it, who is going to answer for it? And all those admin stuff (stupid as they are) takes up quite a substantial amount of time (as if he didn't know that) & it's just too bad that Garfield isn't much of a help in this area...
Talking about Garfield, she came back to the office at 2 pm, claiming she had gone to the dentist. Why so long? Well, the story goes that she thought her dental appointment was at 9 am but when she reached the clinic, she realised that the appointment was acually at 11 am..oh dear! That sounds serious...so you mean she waited there for 2 hrs for the next appointment?? What a cuckoo explanation, right? I bet she must have woken up late & missed her 9am appointment (cuz she is always late for work anyway) and had no choice but to go for a later appointment or perhaps, she even reached there at 11 am. But well, she can't possibly tell the boss that, can she? So anyway, she came in at 3 pm to help us check the stocks. And as usual, her head almost bowled over when she was checking. (By the way, she came in just in time to check the last 2 pieces out of the almost 200 pieces we had checked before she came in) Talk about perfect timing! Isn't this just too perfect to be true?!
Like I said, was feeling quite lousy the whole day..mainly because of work..really wish I can do something more meaningful? But what??? I haven't figured out yet. Hopefully, tonight I will have a fantastic dream that will give me some fantastic ideas ..haha..
I tried the Durian mooncake at piggy's house today, very special, the outer skin is made from dragon fruit and the filling is rich creamy durian..simply yummy..susan bought it from her friend's colleague whose father was making & selling it.was really good...heard that this mooncake was featured on tv or something before...I came home & tried the Marriott mooncake too & true enough, the Marriott one can't compare to that one..although it was also nice...
Hmm..my piggy must be drooling as he is reading this entry..haha..cuz he always gets so excited about food, and especially now, since he is "deprived" of all the good food in singapore...hahaha..
