Awake for 27 hours.

Yesterday was a crazy day.

Was awake for a whole 27 hours and my plan was to fall dead on the bed once I reach home.

But nah. That didn't happen. Ended up feeling more energetic after washing up. Oh well, finally decided to hit the sack so started reading my novel "The Human Stain". I usually read before going to bed. Anyway, I haven't finish 2 sentences and I started to feel real sleepy. So zoned off at last. After a freaking 27 hours.

The last time I was awake for more than 24 hours was during seconday school. I think I went out at night and went to school the next day. Then after school accompanied my friend to somewhere. Still remembered me feeling all cranky while waiting for her. Geez.

Anyway, saw Christine on the train yesterday and chatted with her. What she said made sense and kind of drilled itself into me. And yeah, why am I doing all the things that I'm doing now? I guess I should change.

Speaking of change. I was thinking of this the other day. What if I treat 2006 as an "experiment year"? I'll shrug off my rut and do whatever my "righteous-self" tells me to do. You know how sometimes there's this little voice inside your head telling you what is the right thing to do and stuff. Yup. That kind of "righteous-self". And if I were to do that, will my life actually be better off?

Perhaps I should try it. No lost anyway.

Oh, I've finally started on those things which I have always been wanting to do. Finally registered myself with National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). Now I'm just awaiting for the activities to start. I've actually set my eyes on a couple of activities already.

Last year when I was having dinner with Jerome at Shimizu, I told him that actually I'll love to have a life whereby I have many things to do. A life whereby everyday is spent fruitfully.

Going to school from Mon-Fri. On Saturday morning, go for Pilates class and in the afternoon, go visiting at Elder Care. Then Sunday will be spent at home cleaning up and packing.

And he told me: "Why do you want to give yourself so many things to do and be so busy?"

Well, I've no answer to that. But that is just the kind of life I like to have.

So now, I've finally taken the 1st step out by registering myself with NVPC. The 2nd step will be to get myself enrolled into a Pilates class. Been doing some research, but I'm kind of confused over which fitness center or studio to enroll with.

Hmm. Thinking, thinking.

Anyway, kind of tired now. Only slept for 12 hours after being awake for 27 hours the day before.

Gonna go do LI now and go plonk out.
