A (Somehow Surprisingly) Tiring Weekend

Hi guys,

This weekend has been awfully tiring for some apparent reason. Perhaps because so many things happened at a time that could have drained out my energy levels, like the wedding. Cheryl's and Daniel's weeding. It was nice and all, though I did feel that the speaker (Dr. Tow) who was supposed to give the exhortation to the couple, made it more of an anti-homosexuality sermon; a sermon completely irrelevant to the couple who have already made a proper marriage... I don't want to comment much about it at this point (cos I don't feel like giving off a hostile vibe at the moment).

Then it went on to the evening dinner, where I had to emcee along with cousin Kenneth (him doing the harder, Chinese version). Of course I thought it would just be a going over of scripts but silly me, this was a big event with a dinner and items by other people other than me. Thought it would be like a poly project presentation, but it was not to be. However, I did relearn some things I have forgotten, like not to write a script on cards, but to write point forms since it works better for me. Too late, so I had to adapt here and there, but overall it was fine. The flaws are only visible to the creators, while everyone else was giving me unjustified praise. It was a learning experience.

By the time we reached home, it was already close to 12am. I waited for my turn to use the toilet and whilst doing so, felt so tired that I had to take a nap. So I eventually used the toilet at maybe 1am (it's all hazy here) and then went to sleep.

Woke up to a splitting headache at around 730am. The headache's epicentre at my right side and; shaking my head, the pain extended to the lower central parts of my brain. Subsequent shakes of the head weren't so bad though... dunno why. It eventually got better the rest of the day but I was mostly relatively drowsy throughout the whole day.

I had better go sleep now. Nice to have a change of weekend. Back to normal now... oh wait, next weekend might not be so normal. Agh... I feel both anticipation and dread, but mostly anticipation. :)

More Blahblahblahs

Today I ate Japanese food, not too bad for its price but well, I don't get to eat it a lot so I savour every moment anyways. Buffet. Just stuffing up as much as possible, but I couldn't eat as much as I thought, somehow. I blame it on my sore throat that seemed to have developed in the morning and my eventual sneezing and blocked nose. At least I'm keeping it in check, but I hope I don't get sick tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will be flying in a Chinook for the second time! The first time was last Wednesday. Fun ride, though the occasional dips were rather uncomfortable. Still, it's a nice ride. When you're riding in one, you realise how fast it can go. When you're an external viewer, somehow it doesn't look that fast. Haha, I sound like I'm talking about relativity, but in the reverse (I could be wrong; I'm not entirely clear with my understanding of relativity).

And now I have other pressing matters to return to, like sleep. Oh, yeah.

Oops! I did it again.
I forgot my blog.
Got myself to blame.
Oh baby, baby
Oops! You thought I was dead.
Somehow lost my hay-ay-ay-aed.
I'm just that amnesic.

I keep thinking of more. Help me, I don't want to make a full parody of this song, and I don't want to sing it if given the choice (Erinn is probably right, I may end up singing it, if I can... hahaha)!
