Didn't hit 10 hours, but I tried. Wanted to sleep at 11pm, remember, but then I became a guidance counsellor till 0030, whereupon my mum decided to stat chatting to me. Well...she says that in the day I'm studying, evenings she's working, when she returns, I'm about to sleep so this is the only time she has. So...I just talked. Till like about, oh, 2.20am. Forget 830am already. I forced myself up at something like 930. And tried to mug my way through the day.


And the day was (pardon the pun) full of muggy heat. The heat was so oppressive, it was almost like a phsyical presence, some Being whose force and sheer will exerted an actual weight on everything down below. Soon, I started dozing off thanks to the weather. Took a 20 min nap wracked with guilt at not studying and woke up every few mins or so, fearful I'd slept half the day away.


Took 2 cold showers but they only help a little, and neither did my refreshing Milo dinosaur do much except roar weakly at the scorching day as I sucked it dry. In the end, gave up and used my WMD. Weapon of Mass De-heating. I could still feel the heat pressing insistently against the windowpanes, and on a whim even tried to burn my notes with a magnifying glass. But as the aircon was on, and the windows needed to be shut, I decided to leave it for after the A levels.


Had a funny dream the night before. My dreams sometimes occur in the same places. As in different nights, same location. In this case, it seems to be some grimy old white building, but this dream's in the day. Converted industial block of some sort. Spooky and creepy within and without. Can only remember one long room stocked with old mahogany(i think) furniture, and old grilles on the windows. Peeping out there's another building, which looks newer. The ground floor is refurbished and I can see a one-way down into the basement trucks sometimes take. Like the loading bays. not sure if it belongs to IKEA or Courts. Only some big store. Oh, yeah, there are other people in the house with me but I can't remember who. Not family, maybe friends. I'm going to sleep soon. =\
