Studying makes me fat.

Last night I ate:

1. Three huge pieces of KFC.
2. One and a half bowls of large mashed potatoes.
3. Half a plate of cheesy wedges.
4. A huge glass of Pepsi.
5. Three mangoes.

After dinner I ate:

1. Two chocolate bars.
2. 12 Frugurt jellies, one after another.
3. Three pieces of leftover Dominoes pizza.

This morning before church I prepared:

1. 8 hard-boiled eggs.
2. 3 eggs, fried, with 3 pieces of melted cheese.
3. A huge glass of Milo.

After church, for lunch I had:

1. Half a bak-cham-kai (chicken), with two types of rice and soup.
2. 6 fish balls.
3. Yong tau foo.
4. A huge glass of Pepsi, this time with two giant scoops of vanilla ice cream.
5. Milo + Nescafe = Mocha Cocoa Latte (for purposes of staying awake)

After which, despite the coffee, I fell asleep. For two hours.

I believe I shall successfully gain 5 kg by the end of my midterm week.

I’ve been researching for the past 10 hours straight on stem cell research. Even when I close my eyes to take a short break, my eyes see only one thing:

HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh.

This can’t be good.

I wish I could speed read, that’d be a good thing to have. The ability to speed read. And to actually remember what you read. I noticed an article in The Star today about this girl who could read 2000+ words a minute. 2000+ words a minute.

2000+

wowwwwwwwwwww.

And she could remember everything she read. That’s even more incredible than reading 2000+ words a minute (!!!). I, for a fact, don’t remember everything I read even if I’ve just read 200 words a minute. Not that I can read 200 words a minute.

But actually I don’t know. How do you actually time yourself? Do you mark the last word you read before the minute is up then start counting from the first word you read? I think you’d need someone else to help you with this. To tell you "TIME!" then you could mark the last word you read. If not then you’d have to waste time looking at the clock to see if a minute is up then looking back at the words to mark the last one.

Enough of crap. Back to stem cell research now :o(

I’m a sufferer of SLMS. The symptoms are:

1. Constant procrastination.
2. Of everything.
3. Procrastination of even the attempts to stop procrastinating.
4. Knowing by heart all available methods to stay awake artificially.
5. Your body has been programmed to adjust to any amount of sleep, even none, whenever required.

I guess I show all 5 symptoms (I created the list myself, heheh) and I guess I’m just a SLMS patient, then. I’ve been procrastinating my whole life. I procrastinate about everything under the sun. It’s a horrible habit, really.

Like right now. I have to write a 2000-word term paper on stem cell research. And guess how many words I’ve written so far? Zero. And it’s due in 3 days. Muahahah.

But as an expert on SLMS, I’m quite convinced that I’ll be able to get it done in time. As always. Procrastination has never failed me. But I just suffer a lot towards the deadline. I’ll probably get no sleep the night before, and coffee will become my best friend. Regular trips to the bathroom to brush my teeth also help, occasionally.

You might think I’m mad*, but I find that working under pressure actually helps me. The adrenaline helps me think better. I’d rather cram all the work I need to do in a few days of sleepless nights, then waste weeks of preparation only to get the same effect. Like I said, my brain works better. Faster, too. Procrastination works! :o)

(*You should refrain from following my obtuse logic)

To be honest, I have no idea what football is all about. Let me summarise what I know about football:

• It involves a round ball, a field, and two goals.
• To score, you gotta kick the ball into your opponent’s goal.
• It’s called soccer in the US.

Now, let me tell you what I know about the World Cup:

• It happens once every 4 years.
• The last winner of the World Cup was… Brazil… I think.
• *frowns* or was it… Germany…?

Anyway, as you can see, my knowledge of the World Cup and football is so "vast" that it’s "nonexistent". I tried watching a game of football once, I did… (it was more like a live game of futsal) and almost fell asleep (well, it was at 10pm, in my defense). I just couldn’t stand it. It looks so complicated to me. I hardly know what’s going on 99% of the time.

On another note, my week started off being completely unproductive. I would wake up, go to class, have lunch, go home, sleep, wake up, have dinner, go home, play about 30-40 games of spider solitaire, then sleep again. This would repeat itself until Friday, which was the most productive day of the past 2 months for me. I haven’t properly studied since my finals ended about 2 months ago. Like, hardly ever even opened a book. So on Friday, I actually sat down and did my probability questions, read some chapters out of a statistics book, and actually got the work done. OMG. What an achievement!!! :oO

Furthermore, I managed to start my law assignment. (!!!!!!!wow)

On a more sombre note… I saw two old friends. One I saw yesterday, the other I saw today. I didn’t know that time has changed so much. When did saying "hi" become… something to… avoid…?

Or maybe I am just so disastrous at maintaining friendships. I don’t know.

1. I still want to eat chocolate pudding. I still haven’t.
2. Read the Amy Tan novel that I borrowed from INTI library.
3. Look for my missing pink kitten heels. It has mysteriously vanished.
4. S-L-E-E-P

I feel so lazy. It’s 5.33 pm and I have a ton of work to do but I haven’t done anything yet. I told myself I would be hardworking today. I did. I woke up feeling immensely guilty about the way that I’ve been spending my time so far and how I managed to extend my two-week break into a two-month break. I was full of semangat to make today a really productive day. I was gonna be superwoman today. I was gonna be really hardworking.

*sigh*

I feel like eating chocolate pudding. I’ve been craving for it for the past 3 weeks. I don’t know where I can get chocolate pudding in Malaysia. I want to make it. Or buy it. Or whatever. Just as long as it’s chocolate pudding. I want my chocolate pudding!!!

I also like stila products. But I have no money to buy them. Argh. I love their packaging. Why do these eyeshadow things have to be in such attractive packaging?!? (*cries* I want stilaaa)

Because I am too free, I found some pictures of birthday cakes. I remember that I always wanted a Barbie doll birthday cake, it was actually some kind of fad around the time when I was a little girl. But I never got a Barbie doll birthday cake. Just got some plain normal rectangular or circular birthday cakes. Oh well. At least I had birthday cakes.

Those are some pretty and cute ones… I also found some disgusting ones…

Ha ha, a rat cake…

…and a "shit" cake!!!

Ok lah. I think. Clairine… is too free already. I need to pop a "hardworking pill" and start getting productive stuff done! Enough with the cakes and pudding.
