Distorted sleeping patterns

You know age is creeping up to you when

1) You wake up routinely before the alarm clock rings
2) You feel extremely sleepy in the afternoon and just have to take a nap
3) You feel very awake at night and feel like writing a blog entry

Not the most perfect formula, but definitely works for me. A sidetrack, 34 swine flu cases in MA!!! The spread actually looks alarming now and hopefully MA will not be listed by Singapore as a State as a swine flu-affected state.

A further side track. SM Goh is down with Chicken Pox. While it is a nice opportunity to educate the general public that it's caused by a virus called variella zoster, which upon recovery remain dormant in the body and may come back later to induce shingles (yes, shingles is not a STD...), it beats me up, down, left and right why it deserves a slot in the 5 pieces of headline news on Straits Times online. Again, not that we are not concerned with someone who did and by the creative title of SM, still doing great service to our country, but having chicken pox = headline news???

25 days to Singapore: It's nice to imagine taking the long-haul flight on SQ. Think about all the movies you can watch, all the interesting food served up to you, and all the Singapore sling you can drink. Other than the risk of DVT, life will be a bliss if it's like a long-haul flight on SQ. You know for sure you are reaching your destination and you can have lots of choice from menu to movies.

All right, back to working on the last piece of homework for a sucky class this sem. Nice to learn about different kinds of drugs doctors use to treat cardiovascular diseases, but the class is too much of a pain to go through. It's amazing how much difference instructors can make on the quality of the class. Teaching is truly a calling, not suitable for all.
