Thought Of The Day: that's the funny thing about romance. if you had to ask for it, it takes away all the romance.

confessions of an insomniac

after not sleeping for 4 days i ended up sleeping for a grand total of 12 hours. this completely screws things up again cause i probably won't be able to sleep tonight and i'll end up not sleeping again for at least 2 days. i find myself wanting to sleep very often but when i go to bed i end up tossing and turning for hours and i eventually get up and do something else in hopes that it'll make me sleepy but most of the time that doesn't work either. i've tried almost everything...counting sheep...reading...crossword puzzles...blah blah. someone told me to go to the doctors and get some pills to induce sleepiness but somehow i don't think doctors will give it out so freely unless they have some sort of proof i.e. psychiatric proof/prescriptions that i have trouble sleeping. i think if i went to my doctor and told him i had sleeping problems he'd just tell me the same thing he did the last time. drink more water...do not drink coke/coffee/tea/alcohol 3 hours before i intend to sleep...do not read/do crossword puzzles/work on my bed...do not smoke 2 hours before i intend to sleep.

anyway...i'm so looking forward to this week. my brother and a friend from melbourne would be coming back for a visit. and it will also be the week before chinese new year meaning i have to get my ass up and clean the house. can't afford to miss work as well because i'll be having a week of holidays and i usually don't like to miss classes before the holidays. i have a feeling that this chinese new year will be kinda slow. less gambling and more outings. but i'm still looking forward to it. any holiday is worth looking forward to. any holiday that includes gambling and money is even better.

oh well...time to drag myself out of my room...i've been in here for more than 16 hours (12 of which i spent sleeping) and it's time to get a breath of fresh air. the second hand smoke (i wonder if i can still call it that if i'm a smoker) is killing me and the air is getting a bit stale. first of all i should be taking a shower but i feel like raiding the refrigerator first. i have this uncanny feeling that the refrigerator is empty though. my house (other than my bedroom) is just the epitome of boring. there's nothing to do besides watch tv and even then i don't do that very often. there's nothing to eat...nowhere to go cause this house is just too darn small. other than my bedroom my house is just...well....boring. i need to start doing something with it. make it into some sort of entertainment centre. bring in some games that i can play solo...stock up on my vcd/dvd collection cause damn i think i've just about watched everything there is to watch...buy a few books and sprawl them all over the table downstairs so i won't be tempted to bring it to up to my room and read on my bed....now if only i can get rid of my mother and my brother.
