I Am Sleepy, Therefore I Blog...

There wasn't GA last night, so I didn't blog. Instead I spend some time doing my homework. Technically speaking, it's really typing out my homework. They were written in scribbles on different days, and I thought its better I "scribble" on MS WORD so that I can re-arrange the sentences, phrases and whatever, whenever I feel necessary.

1 passage of Chinese History; 1 allusion; 1 current affairs news and 1 literature. All to be translated from Chinese to English. I have discovered Wikipedia, fortunately. So some terms and phrases can be taken off the English translation of the Chinese text.

I started typing after DH. So at the end of the night, at about 20 mins after 1am, my accomplished tasks includes 4 typed translated English passages, of which 1 makes sense, and the other 3 are just direct translation that requires revisions and tweaking.

This morning I woke up and felt I needed more sleep. And then I thought of the lessons that I am going to have this week, 5 consecutive days of lessons, 3 evening classes and 2 full days... Brgh. I guess this week will be a tired week for me.

It's been a long time since i blog at work *Shhhh!!* I guess it's basically because I always wake up with a blank mind, and henceforth, nothing to write about during the day.

But then again... I do wake up every morning and some idea will struck and I will tell myself to blog it. But by the time I reachd the office, the thought is gone liao. Floated to somewhere else. So there is nothing to blog about.

I think I can remember today's "theme". It has become a habit of mine to turn on the radio when I wake up so that the house wouldn't be so freaking quiet in the morning. Today, there were two counts when the advertisments cuts in when a song was played. It reminded of the Ch 8 news some days ago. They were reporting some news, elections, I think, or the Mr G incident. Then they want to cut in to the video of the news report. But I guess the studio crew didn't time correctly, and left the newsreaders staring at the tv screen waiting for something to happen.

I love moments like these. Love to watch the newscasters looking at the screen, expecting something to happen.

*Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock....."
Then after like 10 seconds, they realised we are staring back at them.

Then their eyeballs will rolled and look for signals behind the cameraman to see if anybody will instruct them to carry on reading, or wait for the video clip to be played.

They ruffle the papers on their table.

Look up again. Wait for instructions.

Nope, video is not cut in on time.

"We apologised for the technical problem. We will bring you the news later. (Then they will flash you this really big smile) Next, the residents of ABC estate were delighted to hear the news of upgrading...."

It's really fun to watch this newsreader stop talking for a while and look as if they are stoned. Or looking lost. So different from the composed person we see when they report the news.

Oh well, blunders of life always happen. I guess it's fun to see it happened on tv.

*sleepy*
