good morning good morning!

My, i am up bright and early this morning! That's relatively unlike me. So what happened? I had to send my brother to school and so by the time i brought him there and came back, i was too far awake to go back to Zzzland.

Oh, im now down to 4 more papers and i'll b home free!! Great, isn't it?

I just came to a realisation when i was lying on my bed (yeah, why do i always think stupid things when im supposed to be sleeping?!!! Anyway...) that actually sleeping isn't such a bad thing. You may say that well, everyone knows sleep isn't a bad thing so what so earth-shattering about your discovery? You see, i had always thought that sleep was a major waste of time. But now..i think differently. I shall now proceed to explain why.

As the best story-tellers say, start at the beginning. Well, I used to be an early bird. Maybe it was because my biological clock had been programmed to wake me up faithfully by 6.15am everyday so that i could get to school on time (hey, i was seldom late for my 7.30am morning assemblies hor!!) so i naturally would wake up early on weekends and public holidays. And i couldn't imagine why anyone would want to spend a good part of their morning sleeping! Why, i always felt that there were so many things to be done i.e. watch cartoons, eat breakfast, read newspaper. Or even go for a morning walk. What i couldn't understand was, how could anyone sleep till 3pm the next day? Or take super long afternoon naps in the afternoon (duh!). I thought these people were boring (cuz they had nothing better to do than sleep all day) and weird (why sleep in the day when everyone is up and about? There's so much shopping to be done, places to go, yada yada yada..)

But now, i think otherwise. I think that have the ultimate lie-in on a hot afternoon is the best. Afterall, the places can wait till nightfall when it's cooler and funkier.

But really, i think its because i have too much time on my hands now so i have become lazy. I mean, what's there to do by yourself (don't even think of anything naughty) when your friends are either at work or at school and only finish in the late evenings? Afternoon TV programs are no-brainers and my pet hamsters themselves sleep in the day. Can't call anyone to bother them, lest i get them fired from their job. And going online gets boring after a while. So really, sleep's not so much as a necessity, but rather something to do.

That kinda led me to wonder, would a prolonged period of late mornings, brunches and long afternoon naps become so ingrained in me that i would reject an offer to hang out in the afternoon in the future??

MY answer? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! How? I think i am gonna get me a hobby or pick up something new. I guess that'd do the trick!
