On holiday

My mornings tend to be crappy. These are some of the things that make my mornings suck:

1. Having to wake up, and not being able to. Like, hallucinations-and-sleep-paralysis not being able to.
2. Not being able to get a cab to get to an assignment and thus being late.
3. Being extremely hungry but not having time to eat anything.
4. Not being able to find anything I want to wear.
5. Getting a slew of calls and SMSes while I am sleeping, thus continuously disturbing my sleep so that when I finally wake up, I feel tired.
6. Having bad, panicky dreams about work.
7. Having my mother power up the vaacuum cleaner just an hour before I'm supposed to wake up.

And yesterday, this happened in the morning:

8. Got a call from work while I was sleeping, telling me to go to YISHUN because a man had been hit by a train.

But as the day progresses, it tends to improve. For example, on Monday, I woke up really tired and dreading work, but when I got to work, I found out the bosses weren't going to be around all week, and next week too.

And yesterday, by the time I got to Yishun from my house at Bedok, it was already much too late to catch any of the drama. Life was back to normal. I hardly had to do anything.

In the evening, my colleagues and I ordered pizza just for the heck of it, and had a small party. Then I got to meet Mr Bob. We walked around Cold Storage. I bought a tin of almond powder because the design of the packaging doesn't seem to have been changed at all since the company first adopted it in the 1920s. There's a drawing of a Caucasian-looking woman in a blue dress with roses in her curly black hair sipping almond milk against a bright yellow background, and there are Chinese words next to her. Mr Bob bought Cadbury's hot chocolate powder.

Then we ate yoghurt and pudding with forks.

And today is the start of my one-week break! I skillfully avoided the morning by waking up at 11:45, and now I am wondering what to do with my day. Should I go to the library? Go to Gramophone to look for Meerkat Manor? Watch a movie? Stay home and do my French homework then watch downloaded TV?

The possibilities are endless.
