// screwed body clock

I went shopping with my mum on Saturday. I went to Heeren while she went to Centrepoint to get her multi vitamins. After I was done, I went over to meet her. In her basket waas two bottles of her vitamins, FOUR bottles of evening primrose oil and one or two bottles of this memory shit.

I don't know why she buys so much evening primrose oil when we still have loads at home. My sister and I don't eat it cause it stinks. (ok, there's no smell lah. Its just too much of a hassle) Then when that time of the month comes and I complain of cramps, she'll give me a long lecture on why I should eat those pills.

Ok back to my body clock being screwed. Those memory pills shit right, they're supposed to keep you alert and perhaps boost one's lousy memory. They're not meant to be eaten at night cause if you do, you'll be awake all night. I sniggered at that fact cause I never believed in this memory boosting crap. So I decided to test it out yesterday.

Not meant to be eaten at night right, fine, I ate it at 6pm. Hohoho. I didn't feel anything la, damn those pill producers. So I was studying all, enduring those stupid cramps, till the cramps got worse and I HAD to sleep. I went to bed at 9pm. And guess what? I COULDN'T SLEEP, DAMMIT! I tossed and turn through all 360 degrees, yo. Still no sign of sleepiness. I was mentally alert. (ok guys, say goodbye to coffee. Hello memory shit.)

It was pure agony yesterday. When I most needed the sleep to escape the cramps, I couldn't. So when I finally lulled myself to sleep yesterday, thinking about birds and butterflies and what nots, (I reckon that was about 11pm) my sleep was rudely interrupted by my SISTER TALKING ABOUT WATERMELONS IN HER SLEEP! GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. I attempted to talk back to her, and she replied some nonsense also. Hahaha! I switched on my phone, it was 3am. Wow, thanks man.

Then when I finally got back to sleep again, which was at about 4, I had wierd dreams. I dreamt that Ms Kwan was our chemistry teacher, Thinesh was my classmate (and had authority to enter the girls' toilet), Marcus was our new physics lecturer, Mr Wong taught us GP and he was the principal of SAJC and lectures were conducted in the cafe. Wah thanks man.

I woke up again, and it was 6am.

The next time I'm eating those pills, I'll eat them at 6am.

Scared already.
