Sleepovers at 18 and 21

Had a sleepover at Ling Yue’s house with Clement few days back on Wednesday/Thursday. Let’s just say I’m utterly disappointed in myself. Times have changed and I’m not even kidding when I say age is catching up with me.

Let’s do a comparison to my last sleepover with friends aka the two times we were at Mark’s house during TEP, on August 27 and October 21 in 2012. (wow has it been that long?)

Sleepovers at 18 Sleepovers at 20
No problems staying up all night, refused to sleep First to surrender and K.O.
Only slept when I went home the next day Slept at 4am+ after a few hours there
 Finished 5 movies and played some games  Finished 1 and slept through the other 2
 Nothing extraordinary I think
 Only woke up more than 10 hours later
 It was 10am when I reached home
 It was 3pm when I woke up

We planned to have a BBQ at Ling Yue’s condo but didn’t manage to book a pit. So we downgraded by planning to have pizza except that nowhere has 24-hour delivery. So we downgraded again to McDonald’s plus chips and wine from NTUC hahaha.

Watched Hello Stranger which Clement said was nice but Ling Yue and I kept dissing it. I remain horribly unimpressed by most romantic comedies and this was no exception. The characters were so annoying and wishy-washy!

Wanted to see Pee Mak (which I loved because it made me both laugh and cry so hard) but couldn’t find it. Watched some videos and I was in stitches from laughing so hard because of how Ling Yue ripped everything apart.

Settled on another Thai rom-com called 30+ and On Sale after that. About 10 minutes in, I told everyone I was going to bed LOL. Clement and Ling Yue went on to watched My Sassy Girl (Korean version, which I loved as well) before they called it a night.

They took a photo of me and said I was all sprawled out like Patrick from Spongebob.

Okay I’m simply overworked because I’m sleeping too little as usual and I’ve been doing triple my usual workload this week. Plus I had alcohol this time. And I wasn’t watching anything scary to keep me up.

I don’t think I’ve fallen asleep in theatres this year yet ok!! Cos I don’t go as often as I used to so I only watch the ones I really want to see. But even when I do fall asleep, I’m pretty sure the movie is to blame for being boring. Not me!! Action movies with all the loud sound effects included i.e. Man of Shit.

Had lunch and dessert together before we parted ways. I guess it’s nice that we all live in the neighbourhood. And I’m glad we could do something like this together as a mid-week break since all of us are weekend workaholics.

Back on the subject of aging… I’m really not kidding!! I’m so easily tired nowadays, I’m getting fat, the conditions of my hair and skin feel like they are deteriorating everyday. If you noticed, I don’t even post or take selfies anymore -_-

But okay, it’s been a pretty good week with some good news even. All will be revealed in good time 😉 Sigh I’ll be working tmr while everyone else is watching NDP 🙁 Andre wanted to give me tickets T_T And did I just use 3 emoticons in 1 paragraph.


Sleep, shock, sian = Sunday

I got a shock when I woke up at 2pm today because I haven’t sleep in till this late for ages. Then again, I haven’t been sleeping at 6am in a while since my stamina is like crap now. Mostly it’s been 3am+ to 8am+ (and 11am+ for weekends).

Everytime when I’m not working the following day, I tell myself that I’m going to party all night with my laptop and I even look forward to it. Except on those days I conk out earlier than usual… like 8pm kind of earlier than usual. And then it’s the opposite for when I have to work: Tell myself I’m gonna turn in earlier but it never happens.

Sleep is complicated.

Finished another manga yesterday, planned to watch something before going to bed at 3plus but I ended up browsing Hana Yori Dango blogs till it was much later. When I finally reached my bed, I watched two episodes of Meteor Garden. Finished Season 1 this afternoon!

I swear I am so fucking obsessed with this fandom. I need to watch all the other anime, drama and film adaptations. Hana Yori Dango is perfection.

I’m like in the manga phase now. Haven’t read anything from Fictionpress for ages. When I am in one of my so-called phases, I have no ‘feel’ to do anything but whatever I am into at that moment hahaha.

To be honest, all mangas are the same and all fics are the same. The same type of male and female characters, the same kind of love triangles, the same obstacles in the way relationship’s way. It’s like they all follow a structure. But even then, I can’t get enough of these guilty pleasures.

There aren’t many things that I feel super strongly about. Delena is like on this crazily high level on a pedestal because I feel so passionately about them (Vampire Diaries too but I think that’s also partly due to loyalty since the show’s plot can be pretty shit at times).

Hunger Games isn’t too far below. I thought I was over it but I cried while watching an old TV spot on YouTube few days back, hence the tweet above. Sometimes, things just stick with you forever.

I enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars, both the book and film were good. They even had me first cry at the same scene. But maybe because I didn’t fangirl over it with the Tumblr fandom unlike the above two (which I followed during the years I was active on Tumblr), I wouldn’t say I love it? It’s touching and it made me cry a lot, but I don’t feel that attached to it.

But for the few things I do feel an intense amount of love for, it’s like…

Watched Tarzan (2013) which is like a shitty combination of Disney’s Tarzan and Avatar earlier this afternoon too. On a regular weekend when I don’t leave the house, I can actually watch four movies in a row. That’s what I keep wanting to do nowadays. Didn’t get a chance to yesterday or today though.

Had to start on this blog advertorial which I accepted because it didn’t require attending anything (I have been getting so many invitations for blog events but I didn’t accept any because of the time clashing or think I could commit)… Nearly finished so that’s good.

Then I spent another hour preparing stuff for work tomorrow. One more week of work before I am going on three weeks straight of well-deserved leave (gotta clear all our leave by end of August) so yay 😀

And now it’s 11pm which means the day is ending. Super sian Sunday. I’m gonna to stay up till it’s ridiculously late, do ridiculous fangirl things, and wake up feeling ridiculously crap.

Okay? Okay.
