Woke up at 5pm today.Then went to bath and ate some titbits while slacking away in front of the tv. I forgot that today is a sat coz I was eagerly waiting for the 7pm show, Lao po da ren. Very nice show! I came back from work at 10am this morning. I have started my night shift 8pm to 8am consecutively 2 days since thursday. I am soooooo tired and restless. Tho tired I still want to blog about my first taste of staying awake thro the night.

I was very excited about it on the first working night. That mrn I went to sheng siong to buy a small size toothpaste, shower foam, nestum cereal, milo, tea and panda biscuit etc. I also prepare my contact solution and facial cleanser. I reaslised I miss out one very impt thing--a cushion or sth furry that is soft to hug to see me through the silent night. I reaslised I miss out one very impt thing--a cushion or sth furry that is soft to hug to see me through the silent night. I feel as though I am moving house which is quite true when come to think of that. ssmc has become my 2nd home coz I spend more than 12 hrs there in a day.

My first night was quite terrible for me coz my eye started tearing from my non stop yawning and my brain started to freeze around 5am. Too bad I dun drink coffee. I stay awake purely thro my strong determination which doesnt work every well. So I went to brush my teeth and wash my face hoping that it can freshen me up and last for the next 3 hrs. It works BUT only for the first 10mins.. My yawning become more and more jia lat and I know I have reached my tolerance. I was totally knock out at 6.30am. I should learn to drink coffee.

Becoz of this I have learnt from my colleague that having sufficient sleep in the noon is very crucial. So from now on, I make sure I am in bed from 10am to 5pm. Before my first night, I only slept for one hour in the noon. Thats why I can only last until 6am in the morning. The second thing I learnt is the importance of power nap. I tried that this morning. I rested my head on my desk and slept for 20 mins, and when I woke up I am rejuvenated. It is very effective. After work I can still go around chit chat and play jokes with my colleagues.

I hate to eat late night supper yet...I am eating it for consecutively two nights when the clock strikes twleve midnight. It feel so disgusting and guilty to load my stomach with solid food and gave my liver extra work to do instead of resting. I dun wan to eat in the first place but somehow I start to feel hungry. If I dun eat my supper, I know I will definitely feel hungry later in 2/3 am. So I went reluctantly..and soon I got the habit of eating supper. I got more hungry when it is 6am in the morning. I think I couldnt get used to this eating pattern coz I lao sai after that. My stomach still feel abit bloated and uneasy until now. =(
