its 1.30am in the morning. I got back from work after midnight (again~) and rushed straight to the washing machine.

my mother's in hokkaido, its been one week, and my laundry seriously needs doing.

i had wanted to do it on sunday, but we were called back to work and saturday was just too hectic - what with badminton, insurance agents, dinners and chunk fest.

i end work after midnight everyday. i start work at 10am.

so its 1.30am in the morning and i'm blogging while waiting for my washing machine to finish up.

i wonder when i become a working mum, is this going to be what my life is like every week? the precious weekends become the precious days where i can finally do my housework, and its work every other time.

noooooooooooo~

and yes, we're working like 15 hours everyday for the past 1 month. its a wonder no one's sick yet.

it was 2 am in the morning. i was sitting at my computer reading manga when i got distracted by a red light shining in my eyes. you know, like when someone is trying to reflect sunlight off a surface into your eyes to annoy you? just like that.

and then out of the corner of my eyes, in the left peripheral of my vision, i spotted something i didn't think possible. there was this red spot of light, wavering around, like the pointer lights that lecturers use.

my first thought was that there was some perverted sucker in the building across trying to harrass me. i took a quick glance out to see if i could spot anyone suspicious, and then i thought i'll ignore it. why give him the benefit of looking like i was making a big fuss of it right?

and then my blood ran cold.

the pinprick of light was dancing awkwardly around my cupboard, on the other end of the room.

and the only way to shine the bloody thing there was if you were somehow floating on empty space, or inside my room, because there are no buildings anywhere in the vicinity from that angle.

i couldn't work up the guts to look out my window or anywhere in the direction from where the lights may have come from.

and then my mother conveniently came in to bugger me about going to bed, and i logged off my computer and went to bed.

shit man.

yesterday i got off work relatively early, so i thought woot, i'm gonna go shopping for some nice cheap things so i can spend money and not feel so bad about it! like manga! or a mag! and then i reached the mall and realized all the shops were closed. apparently my early is pretty late by normal standards.

booo.

there's no point earning money when you can't spend them.

and then in a fit of rebellion you'll spend a whole chunk on something that doesn't really make you happy. like a stock that won't go up. or insurance. or original wii games. or expensive dresses that looked oh so good but you're never going to wear. or a trip for your parents.

and that is how the economy works. it moves when people with no time feel compelled to spend on stupid things coz 'we worked so hard, we got this reward that we can't really feel, if we don't spend it it'll be like we'll have worked for nothing! but there's no time to shop so let's just buy whatever is conveniently there and hope it brings a certain amount of utility'

money brings me a certain amount of utility too, but not when they'll all stuck in cpf and a bank, and i have no bankbook to oggle at and all my bank statements are shredded (and even when the monthly statement comes in i think 'huh, still so little?')

maybe i should just withdraw all my money and thumb through them every night like old man scrooge.

just kidding - please don't rob my house. i have no cash here.

i haven't washed my hair for 3 days.

that's that. three days of late nights and early days, and i have no time to wash my hair.

so today, finally, when i popped into my house at past midnight i decided that, by hook or by crook, and even if i have to sleep at 3am, i AM GOING TO WASH MY HAIR.

and so here i am lounging about online at 3am in the morning waiting for my hair to dry.

super super late nights, i might even need to return to the office over the weekends, and i confirm have to go to work at 7am come Monday. although today work ended earlier around 8+, and we went down to geylang to eat beef horfun and drink cheap beer till midnight haha.

woot working life.

but then there's the problem of when can i wash my hair with this schedule.

sigh, i need a hairdryer huh.

and i'm a super fan of komi naoshi now, read her ISLAND, PERSONANT and KOI NO KAMISAMA when you have time! she has lots of fresh ideas and good art. another interesting find is $100 is too cheap and some shoujo. and of coz there's my all time favourite mangakas boichi and yumeka sumomo!

right. sleep.

i just reached home from work... ...

i don't really feel well and i want to go to sleep... ...

urk... (>_____<)

i ate too much today.

we had this sudden spur of the moment decision last night to eat economic beehoon in the office this morning, so a kind soul went to dapao beehoon for everyone and we had breakfast together.

it was great, it was fun, and when lunchtime came no one felt like eating.

but we stuffed ourselves with lunch nonetheless, a pretty late lunch at 2pm.

and then we worked late today and ordered in SAKAE SUSHI - a huge party sushi platter (god those avocado tempura sushis and sashimi were heavenly) with individual bentoes for each person.

i am so stuffed, i am about to conk out already, and i'm feeling really really cold from my FREE taxi ride.

i love work.

school? who needs school?
