It is now 0700 and I cannot believe that I'm already awake. In fact, I've been awake since 530 this morning. Why? I think my body clock has completely screwed up. I think I slept around 1145 hoping to take a nap and as a result, ended up sleeping (with numerous interruptions by the alarm clock, the phone..) until about 5am this morning, upon which I just lay in bed and then decided to wake up, have some brekky and, yes, attempt to study. I'm really sleepy now but if I fall asleep, I'll probably miss the bus to bp and I'm out of groceries! I realised that sandwiches with yogurt and a fruit make a very nice lunch. :)
I went to donate blood yesterday! They don't inject anaesthetic into the skin to numb the area before they insert the fat needle in. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much when they punctured my skin, but now I have a small 16G needle hole around my cubital fossa on my left arm. hurhur. anatomy. ah well. It was a bit weird because when I sat up, I felt slightly woozy and when I was walking to the table to get a drink and some food after I finished, i felt quite light headed. I'm proud to say that I didn't pass out, so yay for me :)
I made claypot rice the other day! Actually, it was claypot rice gone wrong because I don't have dark soy sauce so when I opened the rice cooker, the rice was all off-colour and looked very dodgy. To add on to that, I threw in carrots and xiao bai cai because I was too lazy to go down to the kitchen and cook it, so all the water from the veggies came out, causing the rice to look slightly mushy. The chicken tasted really good though! I think I marinated it quite well -feels proud of myself- on a whole, it looked looked like crap, but food is food and it tasted good :) today I will cook.. rice and chicken and xiao bai cai (my staple veg) and an egg. woohoo. I'm such a good cook.
Oh yes I forgot to mention! Yesterday when I was donating blood, the nurse was looking for my veins, so after she put the tourniquet and asked me to pump, she said, "you have really good veins for someone so small" and that statement totally made my day. :D I was just lying on the bed grinning to myself. hee hee. -feels happy- take that woman-in-orchard-road-who-told-me-my-ideal-weight-is-47kg
Rightey, I think I'm going to go for a walk. I need to exercise! I played badminton on Wednesday, and it was very fun! At first it was just zx, sy and myself. So we rotated playing 2v1 and it was super tiring, but it felt like a very good workout. -beams- hm.
will blog more another day. :)
