Life's like that
Last week was quite a hell week of lab for me and Junxiong. Imagine reaching the lab by 7.30am and continuing all the way to 10 to 11 pm. Not that bad rght? Repeat that 8 times almost in a row and add in lessons. Still it's not too bad but when labwork infringes on sleep in terms of wacky dreams that has me repeating a string of numbers (these were values for the concentration variation I had to perform in one of my experiments) ala LOST....you know you are REALLY a lost cause. OH oh...and add culmulative sleep deprivation to the formula and what do you get? DARK EYE CIRCLES (okay...granted they were kinda permanently stuck on my face since PSLE), 2 horrible mouth ulcers. One of which is a major aphthous ulcer that caused my cheek to swell out for about 4 days and gave me a throbbing headache. The other mickey mouse mouth ulcer was more tolerable but still a pain as it was on the lip...no more chili =( sobs...
But as they say. when it rains, it pours...1) All the ulcers were on the left side of the face [check] 2) The headache was on the left side [check] 3) The pimple IN the nose was in the left nostril [check] GROSS rite? Cant breath properly so must breath through the mouth for a while. Luckily this cleared up in about a day. 4)The monthly red tide swept went I was just starting to feel better [check] 5) Accompanying cramps, listlessnes and general irritation at the world [check].
BLAH........
To top it off, yesterday (SUNDAY, 21/1/07) was my 1 YEAR anniversary with Demin but we were both kind of home bound. What's worse was that both of us seem to have forgotten all about it. =(
Saturday morning (20/1/07)
Demin was staying over as usual and we were in the bathroom talking while I was getting ready...washing face or something.
Me(slyly): Hey, when is our anniversary. [I forgot if it was 21st or 22nd but I knew it was close]
Demin (even more slyly): WHEN is our anninversary?
Me: 22 Jan!
Demin: You sure?
Me: YA...(actually I'm not but I cant say that right...afteralll girls are supposed to be good with this kind of things)
Demin: You forgot! (
fake sobbing)
Me: Then when is it? 21st?
GROAN I'm pathethic...
Come Sunday...
But I have double standards when it comes to these things....I was going on about how our anniversary was such a non-event...where is the romantic dinner? Candle lights? Cuddly soft toy? THE WORKS?? Bring it on!!~ Where are we going....blahblahblah....Demin was saying, that it was only a 1 year anniversary and we would have the rest of our lives to be together. Conclusion: He didn't plan anything.
Then I think PMS kicked in cuz I was acting out. Was just unhappy. If he bought me something now. I wouldn't be happy either cuz he didn't plan it. I would rather he plan but didn't buy....meaning he'd at least thought about it right? Typically girlish reason which I subscribed to at the moment. As usual, he got irritated at me and was giving me the silent treatment until I cooled down. But he just doesn't get that the silent treatment make me EVEN more angry at him and I definitely WON'T cool down. BISH. But luckily, he gave it to me and much later he admitted that he had forgotten about it too. THERE! I knew it!~
Ohhh but I got back at him later when we were playing games on his computer. He's always either playing Warcraft or Maple story on his lappie and I'm left to my devices...which would always be figuring out how to drag him away from his laptop. Most of the time, I succeed =) But then later he'll give me tis mournful look about wanting to game....then I'll be like, " OKAY lar!..Go..go..." And the cycle repeats =).
But this was supposed to be our anniversary right? So we should do something that involves us both. Demin suggested sleep......BLEUh......Then I had an idea about playing a game together. I like this game he had on his lappie....can't recall the name but it involves building aspects of the city, manufacturing fighters like Magi, Archers....blahblah. Anyway, I had the beginners luck. So much so that he was begging me to faster kill him off so that he could restart the game. At first we were fighting each other but the thing is he can't really hurt me or I'll really hurt him in real life. In his words, "I value my life".
So that is the real reason why he wanted to team up with me instead of against me. =)This time, I still had beginner's luck but we had to stop playing halfway as the next day he had to work. An unconventional way to spend my anniversary but I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe like what he said, " I'm already spending time with you...Isn't that enough?" is so true.
Love you deardear.
