I didnt eat for 1 day!?
(ps: ed, I've seen ur comments for the previous entry)
Last night I was chatting with 2 anime club frens until 6 plus this morning.... wah u muz be thinking I'm mad rite? No lor, I left last few days to chat to my fill. So must treasure such moments. hehee... So i slept while my other family members went to NUH to accompany mum for the dunno-number-wat-times checkup. I woke up at ard 2 plus due to a phone call from my grandma and found out no one else in the house. Ok so I didnt haf breakfast and I lazy to eat lunch. So I grabbed a few slices of rolled cakes to eat. Immediately, I started my 'spring-cleaning', packing my notes and files first. Meanwhile my family came back. They had gone to chinatown to buy a type of fish (生鱼 correct words?) for mum to help heal her wounds faster. I was packing and packing... it seemed so endless. At ard 5pm, I started to feel like fainting.... no energy... hmm maybe becos I hadnt eaten anything much besides those small cakes. So I quickly grabbed another and continued to pack. Ard 6 plus, dad bought fried rice for us. Hmm... I just eat super fast.... it tasted super nice.... ok, got energy to pack stuff again. Finally ard 10:30pm, I got my notes and files in place. whew~ I threw more secondary sch stuff away, but kept the textbooks and TYS books. Think I already heck care. browse and throw~
Hmm, the living room and my studyroom is still messy, as though nothing has changed.... urgh, tml continue packing stuff!!
Remember last night I didnt haf dinner at airport? Yar so add all the skipped meals I haf, it added up to a day of meals~~ muahaha~ think I really crazy... never eat for a day.... oh yes last night I also finished the charity stuff I promised to do since last hols~ so I feel super happier than the previous days~~ as though boulders are lifted off my shoulders. at least for the moment~~
you sound like you fighting war in ur house.. no time to eat? Cannot skip meals lah... not good for your body... it will become a habit if you dun take note of it.. And eating is the best form of relaxation... at least I always look forward to meal times.. :o)
Enjoy the last few days of hols! before you disappear into ur work again... ...
haha time running out mah~ in fact when i engross in something, i'll do until no day no night one~~
yar it's already a habit le... but i'll try to change la~~ hehe
maybe u need the microwave more than me leh...then u can cook stuff anytime. but seriously find alternatives like bread which are handy food. make them your essential pack-in item lah, like my umbrella.
hmm.... bread... at that time no bread mah, only got cakes leh
