Heavy body and mind...
Well well, finally saturday marked the end of the first week project... friday i did not sleep a wink and had stayed back in sch..... saturday morn was presentation at an LT and i saw that many ppl were sleeping while other grps were up there presenting... lol!
At abt 2 pm, the presentations ended and teachers told us we need to prepared the second project that is coming right up straight from monday onwards... wah kao... no rest lor. After i return home, i took a rest and knowing that I'm going out later with my jc frens, I dun think it is wise to take a nap first.... cos i may never to able to wake up on time. so i watched inuyasha to make me occupied and awake.
Haha in the end was abt 1/2 late.... i met up with them at pastamania, and later ed came. Only me, jo, ed and yk went to watch "Charlie and Choc Factory". The show quite funny and kiddy at some parts. abit scared to eat chocs le... lol...
Later we went to find ah ba in Modestos and there we had some chatting and eating or drinking (for the guys) until soo late at night. Jo went back first while i remained there... After red wine, ah ba called for white wine.... wah, i think they went broke after that... lol, anyway i get to taste abit of the white wine.... yucks, not any nicer..... lol think drinking is definitely out for me...
we tokked alot while for one period of time i was so tired and dozed off at my chair. den woke up again to chat abit. We get to share some health tips.... actually i am the one who learnt some from ed and ah ba. Me and ah ba shared our 'fainting' experiences and they really scared me alot by wat they said.... They say I'm really in dangerous condition.... with my low blood pressure and the overstressing of my mind and body... i can get into coma according to my past experiences.... ok, i think i am going to heed their advices to get some health tablets... esp those for Iron etc..... eeek~~ Abt 1 plus, we decided to go back. Ah ba was feeling the effects from wine already.... and yet he offered to sent me home up to my doorsteps. Thanks ah ba!! Now, this is wat i call the acts of a father. lol! ^^
This morning woke up at 2 plus in the afternoon... lol~~ tired sia... i feel my head abit heavy still (of cos not becos of the few sips of wine) So in the end i didnt went out with them for today's fireworks. Also i know i still haf the last bits of the project's report to do. haiz.... sad.... start of new project....... haiz......
at least u decide to rest lah..heh..if the project gets too tedious, enlist some help? i offer free research for any data services...haha...not like got any use.
