Coffee, anyone?

Total blurnessI'm supposed to be sleeping now but I feel bad for Agito 'cause he's still colouring the storyboard. Should I sleep or should I just stay awake so that he know that we're not abandoning him and leave all the work for him to do? I seriously don't know.
This must be one of the most fucked up days in my life. I woke up late this morning and Vincent had already left. Alan's still there, so to not make him wait any longer, I didn't shower as I usually do in the morning these days. Thank God I wasn't sweaty.
Late for class, again. Natalya was being boring and sarcastic as usual, though I think she's trying her best. Many people dislike her, but I'm just neutral towards her. She's not a bad lecturer, and she knows her stuff. That's quite adequate, actually. However, I could hardly open my eyes, partly because of Natalya's boring ranting, and partly because of E-theatre's ridiculously cold temperature. It's so cold that it probably works better than cryogenics. If you've got a terminal illness and want to freeze yourself hoping that one day humans would unfreeze you to treat your illness when they've finally managed to find a cure, the E-theatre maybe the cheapest way to do it.
Half way through the lecture she gave us a 10-minute break and we went to hang out in FCM Cafe as usual. I didn't eat anything because frankly, the food there sucks big time. Besides, what kind of food can you enjoy in 10 minutes? Well the rest of the class was boring also, but well, I managed to sleep through most of it so I've got no complaints.
After that was Digital Animation. We were asked to do the tutorials, and I did it. However I was stopped my Tariq because he wanted to demonstrate something to us. To be completely honest, I slept through that as well. It's not that I didn't want to listen. If I could, I would. Cross my heart and hope to die.
Lunch was probably the only good moment of the day. I was hoping to eat some decent Chinese food at the bus station but Kenny, Gary and Agito wanted to pay their fees so Vincent decided to eat in one of the HBs. Seriously, the vendors in the HBs can't cook for shit. The nasi lemak or nasi beriani in HB2 were probably the only proper food you can get from the HBs. Everything went OK, though, and I guess I had a rather nice chat with Vincent about the accident. Yes. Again.
After that it was time for Media Production Process. We're having a quiz today so I thought that it would be great because all we need to do is to finish the quiz ASAP and go home. Creative Studies class was miraculously cancelled. However I got a shock of my life when Ghaz mentioned that the quiz would take place after Woo Ming Jin's lecture. Lecture!? Are you out of your mind? Fine. It wasn't much of a lecture anyways. He just played 2 documentary films on the screen and I, as you probably would have guessed correctly, slept through it, once again. The quiz was quite difficult for me but I still hope I get good grades for it.
Well, after the quiz, there's nothing else. Time to go home and sleep. BAAAAAAAAAA! Wrong!!! Right after I reached home and was settling down, I recieved a call from Ling Yee. She said she's got a car (which actually belongs to her friend) and she needed me to drive her to Putrajaya because her driving license was expired. Well, maybe it'll just take a short while, so I decided to help her. All she wanted was to go to Putrajaya to do a research on motorvehicle insurance. I waited at Cyberia's roundabout, wondering what kind of car I would be driving her to Putrajaya in. While I was waiting several cars passed by, including a Gen 2 (which I had no interest at all in driving), a Satria Neo (which I would like to try), and a Mini (which made me beg the heavens above for it to be the car I'll be driving). I wish I could tell you God was so pleased with me that He granted me my wish. I wish I could tell you that. But reality is no fairy tale. I drove off with Ling Yee in a blue Wira.
We went to the MNI insurance company in Precinct 8 of Putrajaya and she asked for my help to interview one of the agents there, which I unwillingly did, because I'm a nice guy. After that we went back to Cyberjaya but Ling Yee was hungry. So I drove to Ming Chu where I had prawn mee. I wanted to get my regular dose of loh mee but that guy who sells it was having his dinner, and being the nice guy that I am, I decided to not bother him. The prawn mee was OK, but not really satisfactory.
I reached home at around 6.45pm, which was the time I decided to take a nap. Rong and her housemates were going to go out at around 7.30pm so I thought I could rest for a bit. I was just about to start dreaming when Ling Yee called again and asked if I could help her reverse the car because she didn't know how to do it. Sounds fishy but I went to her aid once again because I'm just a darn nice guy. She asked me to drive her to the roundabout where she'll take over the wheels and drive to campus herself. However she showed signs of not knowing what the oil pedal is for, and how to release and handbrake, so I decided that I should just send her to campus, and walk back home after that because she had to leave the car in campus so that her friend could drive home later. What choice do I have but to depend on my legs to carry my big fat ass home?
I got back and found out that Rong and her housemates will go out at 8pm. That gives me a window of about 10 minutes to shower. 15 minutes later, I was driving towards Ming Chu... again... We were going to Jusco, actually. We had dinner at Sushi King, wherein I discovered that my chopstick holding skill was totally crap. Even Aishah could hold it better than me, and I feel truly ashamed of myself. I had chawanmushi (sorry, don't really know the spelling, and don't give a fuck anyways), and some Unagi while making a joke of myself. Rong and Co. bought a cake for Rusdi, whose birthday is today, while I bought a bottle of Sunsilk shampoo. Rong said it would cause hair loss. I don't know how true that piece of information is, but as usual, I don't care.
I came home feeling really tired, and just when I thought I could just have a rest and start doing the storyboard, Heidi called, and said she and Jacintha would come in a short while, for the meeting for the Creative Studies (which Khoo calls "CS" and reminds me of Counter Strike), Creative Communication (which he calls "CC" and reminds me of Cyber Cafe) and Internet Application (which he calls "IA" and reminds me of Intelligent A... er... Bah! forget it) assignments. They were kind enough to let me do the storyboard while they make a mind map for Creative Studies. I finished up my part and let Alan do the rest. Agito would be the one to colour it, we all agreed. Kong came back for a short while and before you know it, he's already having a meeting with Zhou Gong.
After the meeting I rearranged the mind maps that we did and created a presentable copy for tomorrow's possible presentation. Meanwhile, Khoo, Heidi and Jacintha did the creative communication's advertisement thing. I'm glad that the 4 of us work quite well together. Around that time Agito came back, so I asked him to find a way to scan the storyboard into his PC and start colouring, which he refused to do. Kong did it for him, though, so I feel that I should give credit to Kong here. So Agito has been colouring the storyboard till now (I'm not sure if he's still awake but right before I started writing this post he was still awake and doing the job we assigned to him).
Nothing seems right today, even though it's not entirely bad, I wouldn't say it went well at all. And I'm feeling so freaking sleepy right now (oh my, it's 5.13am already!) I'd probably think of skipping tomorrow's class. Right now I'm going to go check on Agito and see if he's OK, but after that I'll just sleep and whether or not he finishes the storyboard, it's out of my hands now. What the hell is wrong with me today anyways?
p/s: In case you haven't noticed the question I put in my YM status, read this carefully and if possible, give me your answer, I'm interested to know:
"If someone you love has a terminal illness that you might be able to cure with enough time spent on research, would you spend time looking for the cure or would you rather spent time with your dying loved one? "
