Whatever i'm doing now...i think its detrimental to my health...despite what you may all think:

1. Sleeping at least 10hrs a day is not good because:
a. my body feels sore when i wake up - my neck and my back hurts
b. waking up at 12pm means i usually squeeze in 2 meals a day...some of which arent very good to begin with
c. my brain is getting lazy because i'm not doing anything useful with it while i'm sleeping
d. i lack energy..the more sleep i get the more restless i become
e. the more sleep i get, the less things i do with my day.

So contrary to what you may all think about my bumming...i've over it! Can someone take a day off and spend time with me already? My sister as my only companion can get a bit... boring?

Anyways, due to my increased hours of sleep, i find it really difficult to sleep early at night. I nap at least once a day...usually around 5-6pm (after my daily dose of Passions and Bold & Beautiful of course - dont worry..i am disgusted with myself already).

Then i wake up and if i have to sleep earlier than 1am...i roll around in bed til about 4am. Its not the best feeling. I feel so frustrated cause theres nothing else i want to do at that time.

Anyways, in other news...i'll be leaving for Thailand in 13 days! I can hardly wait. The last few days have been hectic cause i've been searching high and low for hotels that would be close to Thao and Halynh and at a reasonable price. Unfortunately cause its peak season, everything is booked out. I can count about 8 rejection emails from hotels. Luckily Nel directed me to Zuji.com Although not the cheapest hotel booking site around, if your desperate and need instant confirmation at a decent price...this is the place to go.

Every other site i went to... either had crap hotels on their instant confirmation list...or just didnt have anything good available. I was even told to contact the hotels directly as many of the hotels didnt give our the dates between News years eve til the end of January to website agents. With that in mind, i contacted 2 hotels. One replied that they didnt have availability and another replied they could give me a room at $250 p/night... which is ridiculous...cause i originally had a hotel booking at the same hotel before and it was costing me $40 p/night! Talk about markup for the same room. Not only that, but they tried to con me into a "compulsory new years eve gala dinner" which was going to cost $40 a head!!!

In which case, Zuji is my saviour! I got a hotel i wanted from a site that wouldnt reject me, didnt have a compulsory dinner, is close to Thao and halynh...AND at a price that was only $3AUD more than what i "should" have been paying. You cannot believe the relief i felt...for a while i thought Will, Ryan and i would have to crash with Thao and Halynh in their twin room! haha.

Anyways, time to get off my lazy ass and start studying for this DQT test already! I should get my full license before i leave for Thailand...only 13 days away! Can hardly wait!
