oh wellz, didn't go to the doctor in the end... i received an sms from sebrina informing me that my ex-tuition teacher's husband has passed away. was a little taken aback, but i recovered pretty quickly because i knew that mr chai was diagnosed with cancer last year. and according to shufeng the doctors couldn't remove the tumors in his brain as it was too deeply embedded. so i guess it was more of a terminal kinda illness.after knowing about mr chai's passing, it kinda spoilt my mood for the entire day. kinda mellowed me in a way... then i starting thinking. life is so short, so unexpected. mr chai's case was pretty sad because he wasn't given at second chance. he was diagnosed in approximate august last year, and since then his condition has been going downhill. but in a way, his death wasn't sudden, so it gave the family time to brace themselves for the worst. huimin had a friend whose neighbour's dad passed away suddenly one night. blood vessel in brain just burst. no chance to make arrangements. so.fuckin.freaky. you can never tell when it would happen to your loved one.
i attended mr chai's funeral on thursday the 2nd of march after work. and because he was from ngee ann poly. not a lecturer; he works in the IT department. he's the mastermind of the e-learning platform in schools. very talented IT personnel. so anyway, as you all know i'm from the IT department as well, i met a couple of my lecturers there. coincidentally two of them were pretty close to me as they were my academic supervisors for my internship. but only one of them was my direct supervisor so i had a chat with him for a while before the service started.
pretty cool, he gave me some directions in life... now i shall work towards being an IT consultant. he was like making me promise not to stay in programming cos he knows it sucks as well. haha!! he said the life of a consultant is pretty interesting, and information systems will bring me one step closer to becoming one. so there!
oh btw, i'm going to KL this friday with Red Bull.. my team leader says i'm really lucky to be going even though i've been in the company for only two weeks. there are girls who have worked for a year plus and they haven't gone on a single overseas trip with the company. muahahaha... Formula One Racing at Sepang!! so excited. can't wait!

another day at work yet again... didn't have a problem waking up this morning though. guess it's mostly due to the fact that i wasn't even asleep. haha. no prizes for guessing what happened again last night..
i'm at my wit's end. my self-remedies of
are not helping me get to sleep!!!!
the alcohol method only lasted 4 hours. bloody hell. slept at 2300hrs, woke up at 0300hrs only to discover that the effects of my drink has very well dissipated.
toss, turn, toss, turn.
think, think, think.
*clap clap* let's welcome the return of the "pressure-cooker" headache!! that was 0415hrs.
toss, turn, toss, turn.
couldn't take it anymore at 0500hrs. went down to take my headache pills that were prescribed to me when i was still working at KP*G.
effect was great! my headache disappeared, and for the next two hours i slept pretty well. the best i've got since 2 weeks.
so i thought to myself: hey, the headache pills are goOOod!! maybe i should take them again tonight
so come tuesday, i was tired but i still went out for supper. came home, took the pills and slept all the way till next morning. i was convinced.
come wednesday, i took the pills again. but alas, i was awake for the whole fucking night. came to a conclusion that i managed to sleep yesterday only because i was so exhausted i didn't have the energy to think so much. basically my body is darn tired but my mind is kept awake due to the crazy amount of thinking. now i know how liz must have felt. YOU CAN'T BLOODY STOP YOURSELF NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY.
i've made up my mind. i shall make a trip down to the doctor's after work today. get some sleeping pills or something... anything!! i want my sleep already... =(
