Goodness, gracious me...
Can you guys believe that I have barely slept eight or ten hours since last Sunday? Today is Tuesday right?
Man, I was like a freakin' zombie trying to get myself home last evening after two meetings. I even had to take a taxi back from Commonwealth MRT because my eyes couldn't defy gravity, so yesterday was the first time I succumbed to the bloody taxi fare hike and had to pay like S$15 (meter + 35% peak hour charge) to my crib in Jurong East.
But when I got back, I couldn't sleep.
Gosh!!
It all started on Saturday lah. Spent the whole evening in McDonald's East Coast Park working with Chee Wai, finishing (trying to, rather) a magazine project, got stuck in the rain, then they (Chee Wai and Li-min) left at 9pm after an hour of blading. It was Nurul's 22nd birthday but I couldn't even pass by her BBQ pit to give her the present cos *ahem* didn't feel like meeting the family.
So, we went to Cineleisure, shopped for a bit, went to Kbox for a bit, then went home at about 4am.
I felt really tired and woke up at 4pm the next day!
So, because I had more than enough sleep on Sunday morning and afternoon - I couldn't sleep the whole night. Well, partly because I was still trying to finish lots of work, in between sinking ships and laughing at the losers' cries of defeat in Battle Stations Facebook version.
Come Monday morning, I couldn't get to sleep. Partly because a client said he wanted something urgently done plus I had to meet another two clients at noon. So, I think I slept barely two hours from 8am to 10am.
I was done like about 5pm and by that time I was like seeing stars and could almost hear angels singing. Hehehehehe...
BUT somehow when I got back, took a shower and hit the sheets - I COULD NOT SLEEP!! Aaaaarrrrgghhhh!!!! Firstly, I am a light sleeper and this baby Farhan has a habit of crying really loudly and he cries like every half an hour. Sometimes his cries sound like the sound cats make when they are in heat but mostly, he sounds like a little demon. Never like a tender baby crying but those man-baby cries that irritates the hell out of me.
Secondly, I think my body does not know how to react liao. Now, I am really a slave to schedule and my body will really follow a pattern even if it's just one day. Imagine if I fall asleep 10pm the night before and I wake up at 6am, the next day if somehow I sleep at 2am, I will still automatically wake up at 6am. Just like that.
So, now my body and mind don't know what to expect for these three days and I am screwed because somehow I have missed the windows programmed for sleep and rest and rejuvenation and now I can't sleep. Worse, when I manage to sleep, a little cry from the little devil will wake me up, made worse by the incessant calls and SMSes from clients. Luckily I have my trusty iPAQ for me to check my emails while still on my bed. No need to switch on PC. Otherwise, I will be very grouchy man..
Now I have to go out a bit and run some errands, then come back and settle some work. Had to go for a 1130am meeting today (managed to sleep from 6am to 10am today) but when I got back at three today, STILL couldn't sleep properly. Only managed one hour before I decided to wake up and type this stupid entry.
How man?!!!!
