Monday Blues

"I hate Mondays!", a quote from Garfield. i can truly feel what it means by now. i hate mondays, only because of this semester's timetable. i have a morning class at 9am, which means i have to wake up at 6am and leave home around 7am just to beat the traffic jam in order not to be late for class. worse still, i usually stay up quite late on sunday night due to various sports or tv programme being aired at the most bizzare hours.

yesterday, i went to bed at 1.30am as i was watching the All England finals. i must say that the Malaysian pair of Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong did really well to win the title. their partnership is only 6 months old but their chemistry is superb as they cover for each other well. in the 5 tournaments they have entered so far, they emerged as champions in 3 of them and reached the semis and final for the remaining 2. a very impressive statistics indeed. hopefully, they can keep our national flag flying high in other competitions.

since i didn't get enough sleep in the previous night, i was particularly sleepy in class. my mind couldn't think right and i felt as if my soul has left my body resting in somewhere else. then, i went to the Career Fair held in the Great Hall. not many booths cater for CSIT students as most of the companies are looking more for engineering and business students. later, i attended a talk by this company called Xyratex. i was interested to apply for a job there but was put off by the company's location, which is in Seremban. while i could finally get out of this jungle in semenyih, why would i jump straight back to another jungle in N9? it just doesn't make any sense...

after class ended at 4pm, rushed back to my room to get Seek Yin her reference letter. My coursemates and i then executed our grand plan of giving Alvin a belated birthday surprise. i somehow managed to lead him to the pool side when Shidi and Emil pushed him into the pool. Sam was the mastermind behind this plan as we made sure that he didn't have his phone and pendrive with him when he fell into the water. Ling Wei was there to capture the whole process and she said the clip shall be featured in Youtube soon! there were some moments that may cause him to suspect something amiss but luck is on our side when everything falls into places. Well, happy belated birthday, my dear son!



then, i saw friend playing squash. haven't seen her for a really long time as she hasn't been attending the training as usual. had a chat with her and then decided to play for a while since it was already 5pm. the coaches came a little late and we started playing by rotation. as my coach has taken back the usual racquet that i always use, i couldn't find a comfortable grip with other available racquets although some of them are way costlier. i didn't play well as i was not in form at all! that friend of mine is still as sharp as ever. i may not be able to beat her if ever we should meet in a competition. this is reality check! maybe i shouldn't play on mondays as i was freaking tired after the game. i definitely need more sleep!!!

i have had two monday blues for two consecutive weeks. please do not make it a hattrick!
