I've been awake for the past 50 odd hours and last night was one of my best sleeps evar.
Feeling woozy and light-headed with the tendency to fall asleep just about anywhere is quite amusing. I foresee this happening a few more times before the end of this academic year.
Wonder how the SAS guys do it... 7 days with no sleep?
Superman.
Say hello the next time you see a scruffy hair Chinese dude in black lolling off in a chair while sitting with a book open in the library.

When dinner has settled comfortably
Today was a good day... one of the better ones I've had in awhile. I woke up a couple of minutes past 8 this morning a shivering wreck. Outside temperatures plummeted to 4 degrees C while I was in dreamland, it seems. Oh I haven't turned the radiators in my room on as well. Winter has well and truly arrived... or not, as the rest of the day turned out beautifully sunny and almost bearable.
Oh well.
It was a good start though, having woken up early enough to wash, make breakfast, enjoy a good cup of tea and leisurely make my way out to my uni's Learning Resource Centre (fancy schmancy name for 'library') for a group meeting for my Vehicle Engineering Design module. That went pretty well... me having been assigned to do the framework of the written report as well as some bits of CAD modeling. No one ranted and no one whined. One did complain from lack of sleep as he was busy screwing the brains out of a bird throughout the night.
Random. 'Bird' is a British euphemism for 'chick' or 'leng lui' but back in Malaysia, its just another word for aunties and ladies to refer to your penis.
Anyway! After a detour home to take a dump, I then proceeded to my lecture on thin plate bending theory. On rare occasions, having your brain bombarded with differential equations of the fourth order isn't completely bad. Very rare occasions I must add. I dropped by the Formula Student lab after class and 'took' a wheel off one of the racecars home with me... under the pretext of 'measuring the piece'. *cough*
So now there's a shiny 3 piece wheel with tired Avon hillclimb slicks sitting behind me against the wall. Mmmm... shiny.
Oh yes... dinner.
Courtesy of half a jar of Tesco's Finest Thai Green Curry sauce... which was everything but spicy. Still nice though. I liked my own dinner.
After-dinner Googling led me to Ahma-san's (of RE-Amemiya fame) personal blog and a site called Motoiq.com... which inspired me to come back to blogging (read: write crap for no one in particular to read). We'll see how long this stint will last this time round.
As a treat, I'm going to bed early. Tried to yesterday, but ended up falling asleep at five.
I must be hated in dreamland.
Oh well.
