just woke up after an entire day's sleep
i feel refreshed!

the last few days, i haven't really gotten much sleep
and yesterday -haha- yesterday was the absolute worst!
the 12 hour writing competition thing

school ended at 12, so i went home soon after borrowing a laptop from the school library
met andy along the way: other students don't even have to go school! unfair! *sulks*
anyways, got home, took a shower, then went out again at 4.30 to meet mum and dad for dinner
unfortunately, a traffic jam meant that i only reached potong pasir around 6.45,
so i bought a mcspicy meal, ate it in the car, finished an entire burger and fries in 12 minutes
and went to the meeting place
i could have come late! darn, totally didn't know
but at least i'd had dinner

anyways, the first four hours was slow
i had a story, just no idea how to make it into writing
if it had been a movie-making thing, i'd have all the ideas ready
but writing... i'm not so good at that
i bet mine's probably the worst prose entry...

we were ginven all these clues that we had to fit into our stories
made it harder

at 11, we had supper on the tracks
candlelit canadian pizza supper under the stars
we rolled around on the tracks after eating, gossiping, mostly
it really was nice lying down, looking up at stars

but 12 o'clock came
and we had to go back to our writing
from 12 onwards, i just sat in front of my laptop and typed away through the night
others went to sleep around 3, 4

jeremy, that drunk bastard, went to sleep the earliest
and woke up the latest
bloody thing made me so jealous, just snoring away in the corner while i had to stay awake and write
huhh

i had a nap from 5.30 to 5.50 thereabouts
and went back to typing
i tell you, my story must be the most boring shit ever
it's science fiction, and not really very well written
i just put in words for the sake of putting in words
boringgg...

anyways, showered after the thing was over, around 8.30
and went to mcdonald's for breakfast
mcGriddles! yum!
and i was like dead by then
hung around with rachel for a while
then took the bus home
i slept almost the entire way home on 966
got off the bus, lined up for bus 912, fell asleep while standing up (really!)
took the bus, slept all the way

then i reached home around 11.30
immediately fell on my parents bed
and didn't wake up at all till 8.30
it was so, so, so nice to sleep

still tired
maybe i'll go to sleep again
haha
good night!
