noisy mornings.

I've been really complain-y and yet still feeling a sense of generic enthusiasm.

Today is a good example to illustrate all that I've mentioned.

I haven't been sleeping well these days cos I'm prone to getting disrupted sleep despite the long hours of sleep. I tell you I was so mad with my sister as I've got woken up by her AGAIN in the morning (when I'm still not supposed to wake up yet; haven't slept for at least 8 hours). I tiptoed towards the ceiling fan and on it (OBVIOUSLY SHE HAS OFF-ED IT AGAIN! when the sun was shining so brightly such that I could hardly maneuver myself to a spot on my bed that feels somewhere less than my body temperature). And then I immediately fell back to my bed and tried so hard to go back to sleep.

BUT I COULDN'T. you know the feeling when your pupils are just staring at the capillaries-filled inner walls of your eyelids? and then the eyeballs just feel so big, heavy, bulging and BORED. NO DREAMS SET IN to make me feel relieved that I'm finally sleeping. so my pupils have to look at the pink stuff till I sleep. and when I started to feel a little more spiritually detached from the reality, THERE HAS GOT TO BE A SPECK OF DUST THAT TICKLES MY TOE. I scratched the tickled toe with its counterpart while my eyelids are closed or otherwise I'll be fully awake once my eyes receive the sunlight.

ANW, MY SISTER IS SUCH AN ELEPHANT. The room goes into an earthquake whenever she wakes up and prepares for work. I have no idea why does she need to make so much noise in the morning; BECAUSE OF HER! I COULDN'T HEAR THE BIRDS GO CHEEP- CHEEP ANYMORE !!! she had to spray a thousand and one things and made the room smells so strongly. It isn't a bad smell but then I started to sneeze AND SHE, AS WELL. but the problem is, she seems to have endless mucus so she gotta do the sniffing thing all the time ( it happens to me too when my rhinitis work up).

This is not the worst part. What's the longest preparation a woman will take before she goes out? YES . MAKE-UP. OH MY GOODNESS. I can't explain how noisy can that get and I don't think this is a common occurrence, unless you dont have a proper dressing table. She places her make-up items on my bed (the mirror is inside the cupboard which is beside my bed) while she does her make-up. So can you imagine? rummaging through the items at my ear-level? You go and try la. play with your pencil box, filled with pens of course on your...*thinking of the grumbiest stereotypical member in the family* granny's bed when shes sleeping ! see whether you will get scolded anot.

I didn't want to pick a fight with my sister early in the morning cos firstly, I will waste 1hr of my time when I could have fallen asleep at oblivion with my best efforts and secondly, she may be late for work or cause her to have a bad mood at work or jinx her for the rest of the day then she gets bullied by her boss again (her colleagues and boss are like so troublesome people).

So I cancelled my lunch with Shuyi since I really needed more sleep. I decided to proceed with my plan on cooking fried rice for lunch anw but then I'll be delivering to granny instead (she lives at bugis). It didn't taste too good lar but at least I was happy cooking it but in the end I was quite paiseh to present to my grandmother. so..

I'M COOKING PASTA FOR MY NEXT WEEKDAY LUNCH!
