I desperately need to sleep.




After Design on Thursday, I was expecting a really nice and relaxing weekend, going to Bon Odori, maybe shopping, until someone said to me "Do you know we have a presentation for Building Science on Tuesday?"
"Holy crap, no!" is the answer.
A lot of rushing and sleepless nights again after that. Was at college till evening both days during the weekend, Saturday for accreditation set-up and Sunday to do our presentation. I'm kinda sick of that place. As soon as I graduate, I won't be going back to Cheras anytime soon.
For a loooong while.

Bon Odori 2010 was.... adventurous. We didn't really get lost, which is an achievement. The adventurous part came at night. Also kinda freaky. Everyone knows I'm really afraid to speak of the supernatural, but there doesn't seem to be any explanation on the incident that happened. We were on the way back, at the roundabout and Lyd asked where should she go, so I suggested we turned back the same way we came in so it'll be easier to find the way back. So she did, and then we drove on and on, neither of us noticed anything until suddenly Lyd grabbed my arm and I (may have) screamed her name, and we went up a curb. Quite a stretch, I might add. And the weirdest part? After we got off the curb, we realized that was a one way street, with the traffic coming from the opposite direction. Basically, the road we were on is off the highway and cars turn in at the turning, and the road slowly gives way to 2 lanes. And we were on the second lane.
And we noticed quite a few cars turning in (who may have also noticed our curb-climbing incident because one car stopped).
Its weird, because neither of us saw 'anything'. No curb, no cars from the opposite direction. We just saw a straight road that went on and on. Including CY, I think, who was also in the car. And we were sober, even if Lyd did have 5 cans of Asahi beer.
Freaky much?
Of course, it didn't help when my friend said "Do you know there's a graveyard nearby that area?"
"Thanks, man. As if I wasn't afraid already".
Even now, the both of us are still wondering exactly what happened that night.
