I havent tried not sleeping at all for like few months. Most of the time when i really stay up the whole night is when i'm over at chalets and overnight stargazing wif my astro pals. Those are fun and i'm not complaining....haha. This time its due to the proposal i have to do. phew! But at least i got it out to my own expectation. hopefully its to the lecturer's expectation too....
Managed to squeeze in a few winks at abt 7am, but cud not keep my brain really well rested. So now, i'm a bit groggy and light-headed. Was feeling a bit cold too. Hope this is not the onset of being sick.... Will be popping out of the house in abt an hr's time so decided to squeeze in a little updating of my entries.
Mid Autumn Festival (or as some called it the mooncake or lantern fest...) is just ard the corner and i sure can see a lot of vendors trying their might to push in a few more sales of their mooncakes. Usually i dun really like to eat mooncakes, but this yr, i started taking a lot more than previous yrs. Probably because i managed to find a mooncake that i tink was not bad. Not too sweet and not too oily. Okay, maybe the added incentive was that my house was full of these snacks....*grinz* nevertheless, they really taste good wif some flavours like pandan and the usual lotus paste.
What we kids (when i was one tat is) used to do in the family was to hang out downstairs at the blocks and light our paper lanterns wif candles, while the adults do their own hanging out in the house. Sometimes we would join other kids at the neighbourhood gardens as well if our parents were willing to 'go the distance' for us. Now that my cousins and i are all grown up, i find that the festivals are getting less and less meaningful. its getting so commercialized that i dun feel the kind of festive mood anymore. is it really because we r no longer the childish kids we used to be or its just the way our things are being changed so much over the years? Anyway, its still a happy mid autumn to all u pple out dere......no matter wat. As 4 me, i will still continue to enjoy my mooncakes....*yum*
I really lack physical activities......
