Sunday

Hmm I feel like chronicling the nitty gritties of my day. So here goes (get ready to doze off)...

Woke up at around 10am and my brothers were still sleeping. So I went into the living room where my mum was reading the papers, and she looked at me wide-eyed in surprise. I finished for her what she wanted to say: "Yah seldom see me wake up so early right?" And she actually nodded. My status as tru-blu pig has once again been reaffirmed. Oh well. It's just that I've had weird dreams all night (how's dreaming of eating green-coloured scrambled eggs that smell icky) and needa get up or else I'll go bonkers.

Breakfast! (Notice the exclamation mark; things to do with food hype me up. Ha.) We had tuna, so mum had me microwave two cans of it, after which she told me to slice the cucumbers. I have nothing against cucumbers, but slicing the skin off is another matter. Needless to say I did a slipshod job out of it (I just cannot wield the kitchen knife; I'm a knife-phobe) and my mum had to demoralise me by adding "Your brother can do better than you." Argh.

So I munched on my tuna sandwich and read the papers. ST's Lifestyle is my Sunday staple, and it feels downright odd should I go through a Sunday without browsing through it. Tay Yeak Kek's (dunno if I spelt his name correctly =P) column was featured today and I had a good laugh over his 'letter' to the governor of California, Arnie S. His gags are so lame, they're funny. He's one of my favourite columnists, including Sumiko Tan (the modern-day power-spinster) and Collin Goh (the wacky and brainy originator of talkingcock.com).

Proceeded to do my GP compre. Halfway through the paper, I suddenly realised the redundancy of having questions at all. They should just do away with all questions and request the most crucial one: 'rephrase the whole passage and use your own words as far as possible'. That'd save all the trouble. Saves paper too. Ok never mind. Procrastinated for quite a bit (watched Anaconda 2 which my dad bought yesterday) before I finally neared the end of the compre. There's just the AQ left.

Grabbed my mp3 and listened for a while, before I dozed off with the music still playing. This always happens, which explains why my batteries keep dwindling. Hmm by the time I woke up it was late afternoon/early evening and my family and I decided to venture to West Coast and rent bicycles. Unfortunately, the place has changed so much that the bicycle rental shed disappeared too. We ended up walking along the pier/jetty (dunno what it's properly called) and having snacks at Mac's. Not bad, the place was very nicely done up.

Came home and watched Shrek. My first time watching it, and it's pretty good. Lotsa spoofs we could relate to (like how my brothers guffawed at the WWE-like match at Dunlop; and Fiona's Matrix-style stances...). Niceee. After that we went out for supper, and I came back and completed my AQ, finally.

And here I am now typing out this (boring) blog. Speaking of boring, my whole week's gonna be filled with bore and more bore (library CIP). Argh. Just as well. Takes my mind off things...

Why do I have a feeling that emptiness will prevail this coming Yuletide? HaiZ.
