the woe of a sleepless night

i had ice lemon tea during dinner last night
not the canned variety..it was the real McCoy
and what a BAD idea it was

i couldnt sleep the whole night!!
i kept agnes awake with me till 1 plus by talking to her in her room
went back to my room and started tossing and turning the night away
its so not funny. really not funny.
esp when the body is physically tired after a long day

to make matters worse
i had the company of a mosquito in my room that kept buzzing in my ear
and being the only source of nourishment for it around
[the happening esther was cycling the night away]
no guesses for what it did to me..
i had so many bites lah!
including 3 on my fingers..which are extremely bad places for bites
i was changing between my bed and esther's trying to outwit it

and if all that wasnt enough..
my air-con unit started making really weird noises
it was the high pitched sort - the most irritating of all sounds
i was already so cranky from the lack of sleep that i couldnt stand it
so..i just switched it off at 5am and opened the windows
hoping the mosquito would fly out to freedom
but noooo..it would rather keep me company.

surprisingly i didnt do too badly in church today
i guess i probably somehow managed to get very brief snatches of sleep
but i reached home at abt 230 after lunch and all
and went straight to bed till 530
and i shall sleep early tonight

now the new list of drinks to avoid
coffee, teh peng [having it during breakfast is fine] and real ice tea
