What a long day.
It started off with me waking up to a nice cold morning
All alone in the house,
Made me not feel like moving out.
But procrastination aside,
I just had to move this lazy butt out to NUS to use the com lab to prepare the posters for union ball tomorrow.

Got frustrated that cos at the 'learning centre' there,
the guy in charge is either totally unfriendly, or just disinterested.
I asked for help with my totally-cannot-make-it Photoshop skills
but he just seemed so stoned and stood so still behind me
Until one kind soul came along and really helped me.
As in, literally took the mouse, explained printing procedures, lent me his cashcard, checked on me during intervals to see if i was coping.
This is help when some computer illiterate needs it.
I am so thankful for his help, which came along a good 10 mins before the lab closed.

And I was famished, caught in the rain, and grumpy cos only me and another girl were gonna be at the matric fair preparing.
Grabbed a subway, toasted, extra cheese, topped with a medium cup of coke
Felt so good :)
Talk abt me being a glutton.
Good food can cheer me up anytime.

And so, slogging began... from 3pm to 11pm... actually, 1am.
Judy, the girl who was me, had to leave at 11pm and i had to let her go though i needed help cos she stayed in pasir ris. (read: miles and miles away)
Thank goodness i had already asked my bf down for logistics support (buy dinner, drinks, listen to me grumble, make me laugh, help me set up the booth)
And so by the time it was 1am, it was just me and him in the matric fair. and a couple of others.

I know he is very very tired after a long working night at mos and i really really really appreciate all the effort he takes to travel down from bedok.
and being the sleepy person who can sleep anywhere, standing up, vertical, horizontal...
i thank him for being here for me always.
thru loreal competition, thru my publicity work that i rushed through the night, thru the exams where i mugged until 5am and he waited to send me home, thru all these when he had very little time.

and now after sending me home and waiting for me to complete my work for tomorrow's matric fair,
he has fallen asleep right beside me
his long eyelashes shut tight
sleeping peacefully like a baby.

Thank you my dear.
I can never thank you enough :)
