late into the night, early in the morning. no matter how you look at it, it's still dark outside. 2.24am, folks.

unrelenting rain beating mercilessly down onto the windows of homes, where most people are in deep slumber. in one of these houses, however, a lone figure sits in front of the computer. the constant sound of typing rings throughout the room as the winds continue to howl outside. leaning back onto the semi-soft, red computer chair, JY is unleashing his language prowess onto the poor, defenseless blog, as a revenge for being unable to release any of it during the past month. that's right folks, it's been a month since the O's ended.

some people, well, most people, have gotten jobs for themselves. some work in fast food restaurants, some in cafes, and others as telemarketers or shop assistants. some prefer sitting at home, enjoy the bliss of joblessness, while others are at home, bored out of their skulls and praying for a job. i, would fall into the latter category.

while some may argue that not working is like a daydream in paradise, those that are jobless beg to differ. well, as the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.

thus, i have agreed to accompany a friend who happens to be born two hours later than me (yes, i love to repeat that fact) to town for a job interview. actually, i didn't agree, i begged asked her to let me go with her. so, gonna meet her in approximately... 8 hours and 30 minutes, which gives me less than 6 hours to sleep, since i need to wake up early to make up for all the time i would waste lying on my bed, reading the paper, staring blankly into space, etc...

having prayer meeting at church after that. and after that, may be planning to visit a friend who's not doing very well at the moment, but it's just a plan. don't know if i would have time to, or even if that friend would allow me to go down at all. sigh. one step at a time, JY, one step at a time.

sidetrack: why do i keep saying JY instead of my real name? two reasons.
1) i'm too lazy to type out the whole thing.
2) i don't really like my name.

feel awkward just saying it aloud. have been ever since i could remember. wish i could get baptised soon, then i would get an english name which i could choose for my own :) of course, that's not the only reason i want to get baptised, but that's a whole new thing altogether. guess i'm too angmoh-influenced for my own good. another thing i don't like about my name is that NO ONE FRIGGIN SAYS IT RIGHT UNTIL I TELL THEM. and even after i told them, they find it too bothersome to say it properly. for like, 4 years in primary school, i had to live with people calling me "jin you", just because my form teacher got it wrong. you may say, but i thought your form teacher changes every two years. well, this teacher got everyone to say my name as "jin you", and unfortunately some of them followed me into primary three, where they insisted to the teacher that that is how you pronounce my name, making my teacher who, incidentally, got the "yu" part right but called me "jing", repeat the whole affair all over again. thank God for the chinese, un-angmohed teacher in primary 5, who got it right, i think.

was supposed to be in school at 11 to help mr tan set up the computers, but i overslept and woke up at 11:18. turns out gab and kok didn't go too, one having a swollen eye and another still sleeping respectively.

in the end, i didn't go. rained like heck for the whole morning, and the afternoon, and into the night, and now it's still raining. what the heck is wrong with the weather. ah well, it makes for good sleeping, which would contradict the fact that i'm still up and about. well, not really "about", just, you get the picture.

so why am i still up? 3 guesses why. you there, with the pink shirt, pink pants, pink shoes and pink hairband! what? no, it's not because i'm watching tv. any others? how about you, with that pathetic look on your face! wrong, i'm not chatting with anyone. anymore takers? you, in the white shirt, sitting on the red computer chair staring at the screen and typing out into this blog! correct! i am watching naruto!

episode 116-117 now (it's a 1 hour special). slow progress, compared to my record, but my bro's been using the com all the while, so i couldn't watch much.

crap, nothing else to crap about now. guess i'll just go back to naruto.

cya
