Clock's hands, a belated birthday gift and my well-deserved award!

Clock's hands, a belated birthday gift and my well-deserved award!

Have you ever realised that the clock's hands literally seem to crawl when you've got your eyes locked on it, waiting to escape an absolutely boring class? And those very same clock hands fly so fast the minute you turn your back and get caught up in doing something?

Last night after finishing my law homework at 12.40pm, I decided to play o2 jam for a while. And I told myself sternly, "No more than 10 minutes, then I must stop and go to bed."

As you can probably predict, that 10 minutes did not remain merely 10 minutes. The next thing I knew when I checked the time, those 10 minutes expanded into 40 minutes! I went, "Damn, I'm going to fall asleep in law class tomorrow." And to top things off, my air-conditioner decided to throw a tantrum (probably because I overworked it. =p) and I just couldn't fall asleep. I think I finally dozed off restlessly after 2am.

Cze Wien came over before college to drop off my birthday present. Although I was running late for class, curiosity won out and I decided to open the gift. I was pleasantly surprised to find that in the box was a.....

PINK TOP!!!

Thanks a million for the lovely pink shirt, Cze!

Later on, I realised something rather interesting. Normally, my friends would normally get me stuffed toys, jewellery or books. But this year, not one, but BOTH of the birthday gifts which I received from my friends turned out to be tops. What is the probability of my friends getting me two tops in the very same year when they have never gotten me one for my birthday before? You do the math, I'm bad at stats.

So since I got 2 tops this year, does that mean if I receive 1 diamond necklace next year, can I expect another diamond necklace too? Hint hint...=p

I think I deserve an achievement award for today. I bet you're all dying to know what I did. And no, I didn't fly around wearing red underwear outside while saving the world from destruction and neither did I discover the cure to cancer. What I did today was...

Not falling asleep at all for 4 hours of law classes with less than 5 hours of sleep without the help of any form of caffeine! And to save you the trouble of asking, no, there was no drop dead gorgeous-looking guy that I could stare at to keep me awake!

So there, don't you think I deserve an award? Hehe.

My voice still sounds weird and terribly strained. And I'm disgustingly sick. I cough so badly that sometimes, my stomach muscles clench like I'm going to hurl. Its a good thing I didn't eat much today, if not when I cough badly, the remnants of my undigested food would probably spew out all over the unsuspecting and hapless victim next to me. And that ain't gonna be a pretty sight. Haha.

Nah, I'm just kidding. Don't get paranoid and run away at the sight of me. The worse I've ever done today is just dry-retching.

Must stop rambling on and on and get on with my unfinished stats homework so that I can calculate the probability of me getting 2 diamond necklaces next year.
