2:30 AM


This is a blog entry in response to Charlene's 大年初一post.

I like sleeping. That is a fact I cannot deny. Then I guess the term opposites attract also come in play when talking about individuals' sleeping habits. Cos Charlene Tan DOES NOT LIKE SLEEPING AT ALL! This is a rather big difference for me, whose friends mostly love sleeping too. Anyway. She's still in the midst of adjusting her internal clock to Swiss time (hey! that's my blog's name! ok random.) and complains of tiredness and non-hunger at the weirdest times - say, 3pm for the former and dinner time for the latter. I'm mostly fine already, except for getting tired earlier and still getting shocked by the fact that the sun goes down very early (5.30pm or 6pm).

But that's not really what I was getting at. She woke up at 6 freaking am this morning and started clattering around. Now its almost 9pm here and she's really tired, cos her body still thinks that it is 4am (which is sg time). And its quite cute to see her wandering aimlessly around, actually with stuff to do, but which she cannot for the life of her remember. She now has this blank look on her face and takes to muttering to herself while she sits at her computer. And her thoughts have this disconcerting way of taking great leaps all over while I am still lagging in her wake and trying to catch up.

I think its rather hilarious, the way we interact, and its like a setting in a comedy. Sometimes she has almost no response to my questions at all, and sometimes she really starts getting agitated over very small comments I make.

Example:
Me: Charlene are you ok? (admittedly i have asked this question many times, cos she always forgets rather obvious things, like the fact that she just packed an item)
Charlene: Don't ask me whether I'm ok! Of course I'm not ok! Ask me that question again tomorrow and I'll give you another answer.
Then she falls silent and resumes calmly going through her things.
Me: ROFL

I guess when people are tired, they tend to have funny quirks, and I probably have them too, but this is really too funny to pass up not blogging.

I better get back to planning our Munich trip (which is tomorrow) before she kills me with the murderous stares that she has perfected. Will not appear online till maybe Monday night, so till then, everyone take care! Pictures will be up on my photo links, rather lazy to wait for stupid blogger to upload them. :D
