:: can't sleep on a saturday night ::

stayed up all night on friday night to watch the acers like jermaine, tinghui and sharon play hockey on saturday morning. the bus had to leave hall for delta stadium at an ungodly hour at 5.45am. initially, i intended to sleep, even if it's for 2 - 3 hours. but couldn't cuz i played badminton till like 3 am and ate supper till 5 am. the journey home from delta was i-can't-remember. everything was so dull. i juz wanted to go home and sleep so badly. so i reached home at 10 am and switched on the air con (i love u) and tucked myself into bed.

the next thing i know, i heard a lot of noises in the living room. tmd. my 3 aunts and my 3 naughty nephews were visiting my grandmother and were talking at the top of their voices and making a din. i was sooooooooooo damn frustrated. i asked my sis what time it was (she was playing maplestory). 1.15pm. omfg. i should've never listened to my dad who asked me to come home straight from delta to sleep. i should've gone back hall to sleep. then when my 3 aunts came into my room to i-dunno-what, look at me? talk to my sis? look at my new room arrangement? i complained that i didnt sleep the whole night and they went out and the house quietened. =) as in, it was quieter. lol.

woke up at 7pm in time for dinner. watched a bit of tv and i decided to juz lie on the bed to watch my brother play maplestory and i fell asleep at like 10pm.

then i got woken up by an sms at 2am. tossed and turned in bed but still couldn't sleep.

so here i am, blogging at 2am. contemplating to watch tv, or to do my readings.

anyways, i'm quite excited cuz CNY is juz around the corner. all the goodies, angbaos, tv, kids, gambling. one thing i don't like is visiting my maternal relatives. i mean, my maternal grandparents and my mum's siblings are fine. i juz hate visiting my maternal grandma's family. i don't even know how to address the uncles and aunties in teochew properly. so i end up feeling that they think i'm a rude person (which i swear i'm absolutely not). it's always the same thing happening. we go to this flat in bedok north, then my dad, bro and me will juz sit at the sofa pretending to be absorbed in tv after the usual happy-new-year-gong-xi-hope-u-strike-4d greeting. imagine like having 30+ pple in a 3-roomed flat. and we all take turns to eat steamboat (which always taste damn good, and the only thing i actually look fwd to do there). other pple would think that "wah, what a close knitted and fun family" but i really don't know the pple there.

i like my paternal relatives though. we all laugh like hyenas, act like kids, even my grown-ups cousins and my aunts. hehe, so glad they aren't going hainan island to celebrate CNY cuz that means they'll come visiting here! =)

ok, i think i'll go watch tv. and eat bakwa. =)
