i am NOT intoxicated, hah!

today was (mildly) eventful.

pe first thing in the morning - 2.4. and that, my dear friends, was the last time i will ever run that distance again. i don't even care about my timing, as long as i don't have to re-take it. trying to get sumin and huiying to keep running was even more tiring than running itself, and they eventually forced me to run on ahead. caught up with mari and heavy-breathed (heh heh =D) behind her for the last two laps. my heavy-breathing, which sounds stalker-ish at best and homicidal at worst, is greatly enhanced by my general breathing problems, hooray.

oh. and even more significantly, sumin told me that i might get water poisoning if i drink too much water. now, i agree that i do drink excessively (plain water, i mean) for someone who doesn't move around much. but come on, water poisoning? so i laughed in her face until she pointed out that too much water might mess with the salts in my bloodstream, and then i started feeling tingly and numb and weak. just before 2.4. oh, joy. and i kept thinking about it while running. and continued thinking about it all day. even as i emptied my 1 litre water bottle and filled it up and emptied it again (i ran, sweated like a pig, and thus it's okay). so i came home and checked online. apparently water poisoning does exist. and i don't have it. because i don't drink large amounts in a short amount of time. tadah. the only symptoms i exhibit are confusion (often followed by unrestrained and non-stop giggling as i topple off my chair) and frequent trips to the washroom. hahh!!

and because nanz threatened to blog about it, i shall beat her to it so my version gets read first. we met. i ate. actually, i ate the huge crouching tiger hidden bacon thing from breadtalk. by myself. in public. my appetite is an embarrassment. i would have eaten a bowl of cup noodles after that, but nanz refused to take me up on the dare. you can pretty much guess what it involved.. *coughrashescough*

did random stupid things after that. like smile to myself without realising it. and i kept catching random people's eyes. it's quite scary to think that i might be doing both in total oblivion. which i probably am, but oh well. random stupid things also included getting my shoelace stuck in the escalator and nearly falling on my face when i attempted to walk off, and almost toppling off another escalator backwards because my bag was too heavy. i am nanz's little bundle of joy =D

nobody wants to eat dinner at home now because my maid cooks awful food. but because i don't really want to tell her that, i just don't come home. same goes for my sister, i think. my mother's more blunt - besides, she pays her. and my father, being the richest of all, can afford to eat out. i suggested that we eat fruits for dinner every night since she can't do anything too terrible to fruits. i don't have quite enough moolah to eat out so often. and she also mended the ventilation holes in my shirt. =( with darker thread than that of the actual cloth. =( =( if you thought i looked poor before, with holes at the back of my shirt, wait til you see the mending. it looks third-hand. but i can't really blame her. she must have felt pressured into going on a mending-spree, what with my clothes miraculously springing tears all the time.

i just realised i do drink a lot of water. even my d/p is of me drinking water. i suppose i shall henceforth be known as mello the camel-at-a-well. the pls used to call me mello the clumsy pelican. as we were saying today, i looked just fine in the long blue satin skirt way back then.. but only when i stood still. the moment i started walking, i tended to step on my hem, curse loudly, hold it too far off the ground and stomp off.
