T.G.I.F.! I love Friday! Party people.~.it’s Friday night ~....fryday…~ this song is from boyband 911… but not sure where they disappeared to already..hehz.. no mood to work today.
The cable guy is finally coming over to check out the problem with the cable tv box. The remote doesn’t seem to work properly ever since we changed our old tv to a plasma. Called starhub many times previously and they gave me useless advice like changing my remote batteries. Duh.wouldn’t I have already done that?? That’s the 1st thing people would DIY when the remote can’t work. And I have 3 officers telling me to change the remote batteries each time I called. I changed the remote also but still doesn’t work. But when I use the remote 5cm away from the box, I could change the channel. So they asked me to check with the guy who sold me the tv saying that my cable signal is working fine. So I checked with the tv guy.
The tv guy said since we’re able to watch the channels, should be cable tv’s prob. Called back cable and they said it’s not them either.
Then I presume it has gotta be my dad’s fault then. Who ask him go n buy the tv leh?
Requested for a technician to come down and they informed me if it’s not their fault, then they’ll charge me $35. I said ok, even if it happens it’s not cable’s fault, but if your technician can solve the problem for me, I’ll dun mind paying also. Coz I’m quite sure it’s just a simple issue of interference thingy or wiring could be incompatible with the new tv. But the officer couldn’t gimme an answer and referred me ……… once again…..to the tv guy.madness!
Thought I’ll just make a last call to them and hopefully I’ll get to speak to a technician who knows more.. and I was lucky. Maybe this guy took pity on me and saw how many calls I’ve made to them already and auto offered free of charge home service to take a look at my box. Cool! Watching tv without a remote is so agonizing.
***above is what I blogged in the day before the appointment was supposed to take place **
As I continue my blog, it’s 10.43pm.. no cable guy in sight todate. Called my fave hotline and another officer told me the previous officer David had fixed my appointment yesterday instead of today. What the ***. I remembered clearly when I spoke to david ytd noon, I checked if he could send his guy down yesterday night He said NO.. appointments were full for the day. So he said I’ll fix for you on Friday evening. Kaoz!!! He’s crazy. Really.
Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow’s so called appointment. This terebi thingy is getting too frustrating for words.

Lin Feng and Mayday.
Was just thinking I’ll be taking JLPT 3 end of this year ne. Judging my my pathetic state of Japanese standard, think I’ve just wasted my money registering for the exam…haha. My listening so bloody poor..think the nihon jin really speak too fast already. And recently I’ve learnt a new way of using the word “okimasu” ..it means “wake up” , “in the store” or used as an adjective to modify a verb or noun…what the heck.. I still remember I asked my Beginner 1 sensei about the word “kami”. It means paper or hair. So being ignorant, I asked so when the person say kami o kirimasu, it means cut hair or cut paper? How we know. .. he said, “ you have to guess ne” … (-_-ll). In my heart , I was like “oh..wakarimasen ne.” But of course I nodded my head in approval. What he meant was that if the person obviously had a haircut and pointed to his hair, then you shouldn’t ask him if he had just cut paper.
Yeah..! just bought Mayday tickets!! 10th Dec is THE day…can’t wait. And the concert is going to be held at Singapore Expo. Abit sian coz 3 years ago I still remember how we end up sitting on the floor during the concert. Baka. Buddy Ng! Let’s practise synchronized waving of lightsticks! Ahahha.. kidding. Must slowly build up the mood for the concert…….
My current fave TVB actor is Lin Feng! Been chasing “The Twin Brothers” like mad with my mum and my brother..Every Sunday is bonding day for us where we will wake up super early and 9am and watch 5 hours straight.hah..quite fun. Lin Feng looks so good coz he’s so tanned now. The last time I watched him was in “The Last Breakthrough” as a doctor Chai Pak Hang..He looked fairer in that show…not so hansamu.
Decided to get the bi-weekly disposables contacts..urgh. $266 for 1 years’ supply. It’s not ex actually but to fork out so much $$ at one shot..do feel the pinch lor.. The price to pay for vainity.

Red Eyed Seoul
Can’t believe how gluttony a Tuesday I’ve spent.
Took MC today coz my of an eye infection…again. Somehow..once I’ve gotten an infection once, reoccurance becomes more frequent. Urgh. I suspect it’s my contact lens..
When I woke up this morning, my eyes were so tired and sticky that I thought I was going blind. Quickly went see doc and she just gave me the usual eyedrops…
Well, itchy still now. Specs for me at least for the next 2 weeks. Hate wearing specs. Wished I had the money to buy daily disposables. Best! Really a luxury indulgence man if I really do get it, looking at how often I wear contact lenses
Enuff about my Red Eye. Yeah… now the gluttony part. Met naz for dinner at seoul garden…. Yes..seoul garden. A place which I always swear never ever to step in again everytime I finish my meal there. Feel so bloody full after eating there….always. Yet, I still time and again go there to eat. Doshite.
Actually didn’t eat much today.. tried to do some fried Maggie noodles with beancurd, sze chuan veggie and egg on the hotplate and it did turn out quite oishii! At least the fussiest person I was with at that time said it was okie..so I should quickly take it as a compliment liao.heh
Seoul had a couple of cooked food like sushi, lamb chop, fish fillet, spring rolls which were not bad also. And when we left, we walked passed the fruits and ice kachang part….shucks. we forgot to eat that.!! Naz heard me exclaiming and said we still can go back and sit down and eat somemore.. funny. Haha. But we were really too full to stomach that already.see already also not much appetite.
Not bad.. such a sugoi appetite despite my bloodshot eyes…..

lazy but fulfilling weekend
Spent a lazy Sunday today at home..actually bothered to wake up at 9am just to catch 5 continuous screening of the HK period drama starring Lin Feng.. heh…really think he’s very hansamu…9am to 1pm…woah..though the show was really engaging but couldn’t help feeling drowsy due to the super hot weather. Went out for lunch at Pow Sing Chicken Restaurant at Serangoon Gardens.. yummy.. natsuri’s recommendation! The chicken is so sedap. And the fried tofu is the best.
Then psychoed my brother to drive me to buy bubble tea on our way back…it was like 1plus already and the pearls were not ready! Sianz..what is bubble tea without pearls??! So didn’t buy in the end. So sad.was really craving for it.
Went home and amused myself with some karaoke..sang till thought I sounded I got sore throat. packed my room abit and watched guess guess guess..after which I had a piggy nap for 2 hours till dinnertime… shiok lo.. Sleep is really important and that’s why I can stay up to type this bloggy blog. Spent some more quality time with my parents at dinner and mega shopped at………..NTUC. haha..really enjoy grocery shopping man… always saw in movies where the angmohs go shopping at those mega marts with a huge trolley, dumping almost everything on the shelves into the trolley.! Macham like they’re all free… I love to stock up my fridge..haha..yeah..carry one dreaming..wait till I get richer first or find a golden tortoise.heh
Just an update on my Saturday. Met up with zhe san for suki sushi at the Hougang Plaza Branch… amazingly they had everything which the town outlet has.. Thought since it’s less crowded therefore the selection would be limited as well.but ..no lor. Food was good as usual..and less crowded than orchard.. good good. Then shopped in mall for a while before proceeding to my ah mah’s house to bond with her a bit.haha..yeah.haven visited her in awhile.
Zhe san bought 7 boxes of Apollo Wafer Biscuits for her students. And that only caters to half of her students. She told me it is supposed to be for childrens’ day gifts. And she’s looking out for mega tins of chupa chupps to give the other half of the students. Think teachers really spend a lot of time and effort bribing their students..haiz..but if it’s effective in taming them so that you need not scream your lungs out or suffer from periodic headaches, the money is well-spent.

Supposed to meet maria and ahmad for dinner but it was still too early..and plus I called buddy ng and she handed the phone to my idol. Managed to hear his voice and talk to him…and suddenly I for a chong1 dong4 to see him! hahahah.. no la..abit kua1 zhang1…but decided to drop by since I got abit of time. Met wendy on my way there n congratulated her!! Wedding bells is ringing…falalalala..lalalala.
Zul wasn’t at his desk..so I just PR around..heh..it’s good to see familiar faces except everyone is scattered around the floor..no longer cards in one cluster..banking in another cluster..so abit difficult to PR..
Decided to leave a love note at zul’s desk coz he’s still MIA…and while I was writing, he suddenly appeared behind me calling my name in a zul-lified way..he gave me a distant distant, don’t want to eat my tofu kind of hug (not don’t want but think also not interested..keke).. all the best zul!! Buddy tan and buddy ng, you all must zhen4 zuo4 without zul’s presence ..!! ganbatte!
Spotted my weijian in this week’s I-weekly..he’s botak now! Ah-bing-ge. Didn’t know he look so weird without his hair..
Saw pizza hut came up with 2 new flavors of pizza!..black pepper supreme and BBQ chicken.. hopefully can try it! Yummy…and I got some BK coupons also..can use! Got new burgers also..but I seldom think of eating BK.. I think Carl’s junior is nicer though! The burger is more juicy..demo takai ne..more ex..one burger alone cost $5!!
went for a jog just now... ! i always get a sense of achievement when I can finish my usual route..i think shoud be around 4-5km.. Though I'm already so tired when i reach the last stretch of my run, I always manage to complete it. Really man..jogging can really train one's perseverence. You feel good that you have the determination to complete the run and your fitness level is still the same. haha...kaoz..can't believe I sound so motivational.

To love or not to love~~
Had an sms marathon with "my chosen one" ..at the end of the whole thing, we concluded on a few hard cold facts with regards to love and relationship.
1) The person you ultimately accept and be with may not be the one who treats you the best, but the one whom you love. ..well, love is irrational and a lot depends on chemistry.
2) The person you chose to be with could have done little to make you his..no tough courtship process or a lot of sacrifices…and poof, you’re together….hmm.. love is blind.
3) The other suitor who had done so much for you.. worse of all, the stuff he did are stuff which you are dam sure your partner might not do for you in the near future (cannot think too far ahead)
3) You are very very touched by what your dejected suitor had done but somehow you look up, look down, left and right… the chemistry and frequency is nowhere to be found…so sad huh.
4) You click with your partner at a different level which you totally are appreciative for but somehow wished he had some of the attributes of your dejected suitor… you just wished he would do for you… (hmm..but the probability of this mindset occurring is higher when there is the presence of the dejected suitor..Comparison can then take place)
5) The question of whether love can be slowly nurtured remains a mystery as more often then not, we choose love by our intuition or feelings rather than taking the risky route of trying to nurture love… (what if after 2 years you find that it can’t be worked out..then jialatz..waste your time and youth.. On the other hand, if you choose your partner by how you feel towards him, even if it doesn't turn out well, can count as...bu zai hu tian chang di jiu, zhi zai hu ceng jing yong you....)
....lots more to go if I were to continue typing... guess life is always unfair. No point spending time gruelling over why life is so unfair and you're the victim and so on.... the time could be better made use of. yeah..easy to say hor ..haha..
What matters most is you're HAPPY.... I.N.G!~

Cinderella - the not so fairy tale version
Feel slightly more awake today at work today..hah..wearing my new heels today..! yesterday chop chop went to buy work shoes coz all my shoes really bite my feet like crazy.. this is what I call "royal feet"… maybe I must wear real expensive n branded shoes..normal charles n keith is too cheapo for my feet liao..keke.. okay. Not making much sense here.
Anyway, as I was saying, I bought 2 pairs from charles n keith.. one of which is exactly the same as my old pair which is the only pair of CK (my colleagues use this short form..kaoz..at first thought they so rich, buy shoes from calvin klein. Wahaha) which is so so so comfortable..never did it once kill my feet! Amazing.. so bought another pair in white this time.
The other one is black…2 basic colors should b enuff. Realized from my 20 years of experience, I don’t have the luck to enjoy having many many pairs of shoes in different designs and colors to match my wardrobe…coz super hard to find a comfy pair of shoes. .abit late to realize huh. Think I’ll just stick to the basics… You should see how many plasters are stuck on my feet now…pathetic leh. When I wear a nice pair of shoes, people will probably notice my plasters more.
Then bought another pair from vincci..a casual pair of flats..and I really regret manz…coz I think it’s going to cut my feet as well… they actually stick a piece of sticker on the shoes that says,
"non-leather sole"
"non-leather sides"
"non-leather base"
"non-leather strap"
… Trying to imply for me to get a pack of plasters handy…..so ka.
Supposed to go gyming with my bro yesterday and last minute he sms me say his friend not going, so he’s not going also. Wanted to say .oh…then your friend not going you can’t go with me la??! ..then decided I felt to lazy to argue with him…so left it as that. Instead, I went jogging around my estate..It’s been a long time since I jogged!.. or rather since I did any form of exercise.. okay.. not sure if walking around the zoo, around my workplace during lunch or shopping in orchard can be considered as proper exercise..heh..think can leh..hey…actually shopping is really a good form of exercise…imagine walking down from far east plaza to plaza sing and shopping at the same time…
Oh yah was trying to withdraw some $$ from OCxx ATM yesterday but decided to check my account balance first. So I chose "other services"..and to my surprise, they immediately asked me to key in the amount I want. The screen was definitely wrong from my experience. So I cancelled the transaction and pressed "other cash amounts" instead. The screen just hung and I pressed the screen a few times…and to my horror this time, they said transaction processing and they’re dispensing the cash and asked me to chotto matte. I haven’t even keyed in any amount………urgh.………….so I waited.
And they dispensed $1000 out instead of the $400 I wanted! God… all in $50 dollar notes and great, my account got like $2 balance.. no cash deposit machine to put back the $$ also…SIAN. I want to complain! Maybe ayu or sam can help me??! Hahah..

zoo-ey adventure
got free admission to the zoo...thanks to shan gal.! hehe...yup..met naz at woodlands to take a bus there... while waiting for me, naz bought a bag of peanuts..planning to feed the animals there...ssshh.not supposed to lor..if the animals died of sore throat or overdose of salt we know who's the culprit...but nuts are supposed to be natural and a source of food for many animals...or as what naz claimed.. i really dunno coz i don't watch animal planet as faithfully as he does.
was raining actually but great that the rain knew exactly when to stop.heh.. at the entrance was a ben and jerry's booth and that was what probably motivated naz to finish the whole zoo exploration with much enthusiasum...
the last time i went there was with sharon san n zhe san on zhe san's 21st bday! hahah...that was like 3-4 years ago..oops.age revealed..hahah... think they revamped the entrance of the zoo to make it nicer... and it really did look much better..didn't remember they had ben and jerry's there before leh...or we weren't too interested in it when we went.
saw many animals.. (duh) ..haha...but was most amazed by the humongous fish (cant remember the name at all....apairamas..or smthg like dat....).... it was huge.. carnivorous and dangerous..but too bad..by the time we reached there, we had missed the feeding time.
my fave were the MeerKats! as u can see from the pic above...they look like chipmunks and looked really really cute when standing upright..haha..2 in a row somemore..love them... really hope to keep them as pets man... but dunno where to buy from. naz said they're illegal if we were to buy them...yup..think before i can get to meaningful time with the meerkats., i'll be in jail liao. then i'll say Hello to shan.
there was this section of the tour called the tropical Garden... really liked it coz i took alot of wallpaper-like pics of flowers and plants... think i must have been a botanist in my previous life... !! haiz..really can't figure how to put more pics into this post...tink i
ll post it separately..
yup...of coz the trip ended with 3 scoops of sinful ben n jerrys..haha but naz finished most of it so it's okie.heh...

Jane's wedding!
contrary to my previous blog... the mood for this blog should be lighter..hehe
yeah.. attended Jane's church wedding today..my sec school classmate... yes.. married.the 2nd wedding i've attended so far.!..last one was kei who got married last year.. really happy for both of them coz they've found their life partner..yay.
saw jane walking down the aisle in the church and background played the song by Guy Sebastian "Angels brought me here"... so touching... she was smiling from one ear to the other and when we told her she looked so xing fu..she said she was smiling so happily coz she's so glad her wedding was finally over...hahaha.. so funny..preparations was hectic and she mentioned she had been sick through out the preparations.
then as she walked nearer to the groom.. the music volume was softened and was replaced by the piano instead... the groom started to sing the remaining parts of the song...to jane... wooohooo.... my goosebumps popped up straight away.....so swwwweeeet and nice... haha... wanted to cry when they read out the vows to each other... the for better or for worse kinda sentences... yup..
reception was good...surprisingly. coz most of us thought church wedding receptions are quite pathetic coz it's normally held in the middle of the day so only cater like finger food and high tea kinda food... but the spread was a normal lunch kinda dishes..so it's really not bad.haha..not that i'm there specially to eat la.
yeah.. all the best in your new phase of life jane gal!!

reception was good...surprisingly. coz most of us thought church wedding receptions are quite pathetic coz it's normally held in the middle of the day so only cater like finger food and high tea kinda food... but the spread was a normal lunch kinda dishes..so it's really not bad.haha..not that i'm there specially to eat la.
yeah.. all the best in your new phase of life jane gal!!

This is Life
Friendster just underwent an overhaul for its interface and now we could upload up to 25 pics to our profile..cool.. Came across this new alert feature which informs us of who had uploaded new photos.. saw one of my friend had loaded new pics so just surfed in to take a look.. all the pics were the same till I scrolled to the last pic. It was a solo pic, not of himself, but his good friend. Caption said " a friend who will always be in my heart".. a chill went down my spine as I read it a few times over. Sent him a message to reconfirm what I guessed.. and yes, his friend just passed away on Tuesday.
His friend collapsed while playing street soccer in camp. Nobody knows why coz he had always been really fit and healthy and he’s only 23 years old. Recently there had been a surge in such accidents of young people who died while exercising…scary.. I dunno Perry personally and knew him through my ex and his friends. Never kept in contact and my only last impression of him was at a chalet, of him strumming the guitar and singing along.
Couldn’t get to sleep as I suddenly began to reflect on people whom I’ve taken for granted and the cliché it may sound, learn to cherish the people around you when they’re still around. Don’t wait till you’ve lost them.
To live everyday as if it is your last… a newfound meaning to that phrase, for me.

The Killer Maid
After much discussion, me and my colleagues concluded that the 29 year old maid murdered the 26 year old maid out of jealousy. As reported, both maids got a common Singaporean Indian guy friend who is wery wery hendersum. We suspect that both maids are actually lesbians. Then the younger one fell in love with the guy and the old maid hated her for having a change of heart and resorted to silencing her….so that she can be hers forever.
Ok…question is why the older maid (sumimasen ne.. their names are too long..can’t remember) had to be so cruel to chop the young maid into so many pieces and dispose her body at different places.. one of which is the dustbin at orchard mrt just beside the grassland where maids gather to picnic on Sundays. Doshite.. I think this is to symbolize perhaps the place where they 1st met..at that grassland. And MacRitchie could be the place where they had their lovers augument over that indiano man..that’s why her torso was abandoned there. To mark the beginning and the end of the relationship.
And the question of how come she has so much strength to be able to chop her tomodachi up.. she could have trained up her muscles when doing all the chores and when chopping meat when doing cooking....so not very surprising.. Or the more typical answer, she has an accomplice..and that has to be the the indiano.
Whatever it is, I think it’s quite scary to have a maid.. my colleague’s maid had confessed to her that she’s a lesbian and had a galfren (the "guy" in the r/s). And there was this period of time when her maid cried every night and when probed, she finally confessed her galfren decided to leave for Canada to develop her career and wanted to break up with her. So my colleague spent lots of time in the next few weeks counselling her.
Feel like eating yakun now…perpetually feel like eating kaya n butter toast nowadays with tehC..the butter tastes exceptionally good…..slurpz.

poor sharon san..~
Woke up this morning to find that I have 3 smses waiting in my mobile.. they were from Sharon san describing how suay she was. She got beaten up (more pro word: assaulted) by a group of 8 gals.. before you start wondering how it could be possible, it happened in Australia.
Kowaii ne! suffered a few punches on her face and I hope she hasn’t become the female version of Owen Wilson..hoh drama rite.. she said she made a police report and they took down her statement..and the bitchy twins were with her too.. they got beaten up too. Really can’t imagine the scene of them beating her up though…like so so muri ne. meaning impossible. .. quite comical also..haha. okie..shouldn’t gloat.
Am just thinking if I got assaulted, would I retaliate or just cover my face and hope that they’ll stop soon….or run away..?? but if run away, they’ll give chase and looking at Sharon san’s state of physical fitness, think they’ll catch up with her very easily and not only she’ll end up out of breath, she might suffer more punches to punish her for attempting to escape..DEH! idea out. Next please.
Suffering in silence is good, provided that those people aren’t out to kill you….
Retaliation is only feasible if you think you can outfight them. And when you’re winning, take care not to trip over any boxes or steps. Coz once you fall down, that’s it.
**Hope you’re fine Sharon san… hope you aren’t too traumatized and please update me on your ordeal…arigato.
Anyway, my hp was out of batt for the whole day....AGAIN. They should really consider improving on the lifespan of the batt.. it’s pathetic for the number of functions it has.
Watched Matilda Tao’s talkshow yesterday and that Hou Pei Cen (jay chou’s gf) was also on the show.. wonder why she was there. Super extra coz she’s lousy compared to tao zi… just kept smiling so sweetly at the camera and whenever they make fun of she and jay, she’ll just smile and cover her mouth shyly. Eeeks. The questions she asked MayDay were so boring and she sounded like she was doing a channel news asia interview, applies to all artistes she had interviewed before. Well, I suggest she goes back to reading Taiwan news. And apparently, jay chou is attracted to her..sighz. doshite.!!.. nan de. Hence the phrase-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Wait…I’m supposed to talk about MayDay…but somehow, many of the jokes were on Hou and Jay..she wasn’t the guest-star lo! Sian. Tao Zi and Mayday were great together and yan ming is so funny…hmm..shucks.. I think Guai Shou is getting more and more hansamu…haha..his hair style makes him look quite good.heh. shi tou’s hair cmi. I never really liked ma sha..but he was funny yesterday…
Yup yup, good show…better savour my mayday all I can now coz their new album just released so lots of concerts and coverage on them……………..yummy..

Stay the same~
heard this song over the radio today...haha..was really crazy over it during a certain period during my JC days... thought the lyrics are quite cool! but now i think it sounds abit cheesy..hehe..but still a good song!
Artist: Joey Mcintyre Lyrics
Song: Stay The Same
Chorus
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you¹re better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there¹s nothin' 'bout you I would change.
Verse
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.
Chorus
Bridge
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.

not sure whether I didn't sleep enuff or i wore my contacts for too long....my eyes really dying from faitgue... no matter how much i sleep, i still feel very very lethargic...
anyways, went to billy's again..this time we ordered the sweet and tangy buffalo wings..okie..i think it tasted better than the orginal we ate.... and made use of the $10 voucher...yeah..we ate cheese fries (super oishii..), a pink colored drink and the wings... after which we proceeded to play abit of arcade. haha..reminds me there was this little boy. naz wanted to play this ninja game but there were no stools at that machine. so naz went to drag a chair and i went to get a chair also..when we went there, there was a little boy standing there and pretending he's playing the game but he didn't insert any token. i put my chair beside him and said "excuse me...err.." then he turned and looked at me and took the chair and sat on it and continued his "gaming". naz even tried tapping him asking, "harlo..are you playing this game?" but he just totally bo hiew us.. okie lor. i declare that we got bullied (1st time in our lives) in the arcade by a 6-8 years old little boy on 3/9/05.
today is a rainy sunday. had many errands done in the morning. went to my jap school to hand in my JLPT 3 application form and i abruptly barged into the room to look for my sensei thinking there's no class...but there was.. then got stuck in the carpark coz 2 identically alike mini lorries collided and the drivers didn't have the decency to move their vehicles aside before confronting each other, blocking the exit. i don't really like to use the horn when driving unless absolutely neccessary coz i think it's really noise pollution, but this time, i had to honk 3 times...gently, before they started to realise that there were like 10 cars behind them.
bought toiletries and da bao some dishes back to go with lunch...and realised that my dad had switched to sports channel and i was supposed to be taping my fave drama serial! every sunday there's a marathon from 9am to 1pm..5 episodes at one shot. had to go out so i recorded it..and told my mum not to change the channel and she forgot to help me monitor! urgghh... and that episode happened to be the most crucial to tell me what's happening in the rest of the episodes..sian. yup..and i began doing all sorts of household chores for the rest of the day after completing my jap homework.. such a fruitful day! heh..
feel like i can sleep any moment but cannot la.. will get insomnia later on. better keep myself occupied now....
