Sleep

It's been three to four days since I've arrived and I've been busy everyday, trying to clean up the new place, unpack my belongings and getting what's necessary for the new place. I slept an average of three or four hours each day.

Thursday night - 3 hours (busy on my last night in Singapore)
Friday night - Caught less than an hour's sleep on the plane
Saturday night - 3 hours sleep (had to wake up early to go warehouse)
Sunday night - 6 hours (had to go for lecture. In the end, I went an hour earlier cause I read the timetable wrongly)

Since I've arrived in Canberra, I felt like a walking zombie - exhausted and drained.

Now that I can finally sleep in (because there's no classes today), I found myself waking up at 6am and my access to dreamland was denied! Worse thing is, I went to bed at 2am! In other words, I slept for only 4 hours!!!!!!!

I'm awake on the outside and tired on the inside. Feeling hungry too but there's no food because I've been too busy for the past few days to do grocery shopping. Most food places are not opened yet.


Even though I'm feeling very energetic now, I know I will feel drained in a few hours time. Think handphone battery; quick recharge = shorter battery life. What should I do?

Try to sleep, knowing that I probably can't? Stay awake and watch some drama? Walk around the streets till I find somewhere that sells food? Chiong to the supermarket the moment it opens? Search the kitchen for food and start my new day? But I haven't slept enough!!!!!

Arghs. This happens when ya body is conditioned to sleep minimally and it sucks when it happens on your 'day off'. ZZZzzzZZZzz

Summer holidays have ended

And I'm back in Australia. Currently on my way from Sydney airport to Canberra city. To all of you back home in Singapore, thank you very much for your blessings and well wishes. Most importantly, for the love you've showered on me. In case you don't know, I really appreciated that.

I'm feeling exhausted and uncomfortable at the moment as I've not slept, bathed, brushed teeth and maybe even poo for more than a day. Still gotta go to the warehouse to get our belongings before unpacking .

On a happier note, Airbus 380 really rocks. The seats are quite spacious, comfortable and reclines better as compared to Boeing aircraft, the plane feels more stable when taking off and during turbulence (think Mercedes versus Kia), it has got better screen resolution with better OS and sound system. The only shortcoming was the insufficiency of toilet cubicles. There's a constant queue in front of the toilet after meals and tea breaks are served. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will strongly recommend A380 to anyone, since it doesn't require any additional cost.

I guess I shall end my post here, as I'm getting motion sickness, probably a combination of uneven roads plus blogging on my iPhone plus techno music plus a serious lack of sleep plus a stomach filled with gastric juice. Shall update again when I've arrived in Canberra.

Take care till then =)

With Love,
Mildred
