Interesting facts & events

Unbelievable. I just experienced hibernation. Last night i slept at 1.30am after a day of work. I set the timer to wake me up at 8.30. 7 hours of sleep would be enough to last well through a day. So the timer rang, i woke up, but apparently 7 hours wasnt anywhere enough for my body. i instantly fell back to sleep, just as was for the other incidents of oversleeping. i woke up again and knew i had slept long. so i was expecting it to be about 11am. (since long oversleeping period is about 2 hours). and then i checked my clock and to my horror, it was already 2.10pm! I had slept 12.5 hours!! Now that is my best record in my whole life! and i never expected it to happen here on my program, when time is short. Luckily my work today is at 6pm till late. gonna miss the dragon swing party. such a waste.
So i learn, the body does demand sleep to cover for what is lacked the day before.... cause yesterday i only slept 2 hours.

Talking about oversleeping, it has already caused me 3 latenesses. once for class, twice for work. and i was almost late for my orientation, my first day of work, which would have been disastrous. fortunately and almost miraculously, while i was going to take the long walk out to the main road, a taxi drove past on that secluded road i was at, honked at me and asked me if i needed a taxi! wow, it was like God-given. But it did cost me dearly in money. i saw the taxi fare meter jump by 25 cents every few seconds, it couldnt bear the agony to watch it. The fare came to US$30+! just to get from patterson to magic kingdom... ouch.

I had 3 christian books with me brought along to florida, given by Collin, Lifang and Diana. I have been mostly reading 'Serenity' from Lifang until one day i brought it along for my class, but discovering my class was actually 3 hours later. i decided to visit the magic kingdom but i didnt wanna bring the book along cause i had no bag. So i left it in the middle of some bushes outside Disney university. it was a really nice spot where people normally would not go.. but it seemed really apt to find serenity in the middle of those tall bushes!
I went off to have some fun, came back to retrieve my book, but discovered it was gone! some crazy person actually crept through the tiny path between the bushes, found my book and took it! i suspect its the gardener. he must have been really surprised and intrigued to have found such a book there, nicely placed.
What i hope now is that he didnt throw it away, but took it back to read, hopefully be inspired and transformed. I wouldnt know. But God could be working on it.

I have been taking up the hobby of coin collection here in US. not for the different types of coins, but for the design on different Quarters. apparently it was a very recent thing that the US minted quarters bearing designs for each of the 50 states. they were only produced for about 10 weeks and production has now stopped. So for the past few weeks i have been getting and trading coins and collected all 50 states except just one more very elusive Maine, the northeasternmost state. well, i still have 4 months to get that stupid coin to complete my collection.

i totally shouldnt have gone to work and even miss the dragon swing for it... now i got a bad record in my disney record card just because of a bad mix of factors which mostly i couldnt help... when usually 3 people close a topping bar (its really lots of work), last night they only assigned 2 - me and some girl who has never done topping bar closing before. so i was busy doing my stuff and she went to throw away the leftover food, and then later i discovered she missed out lots more food in the coolers and by then the spoilage sheet was already done, reusable food kept and the food waste taken away.
and i made a bad move unknowingly by alerting the manager for advice instead of the coordinators. so he got to see the situation and got really mad just because i brought the food in late, because my assistant missed it out, because she doesnt know how to close topping bar, and because they only put me with 1 other person. and i have to take all the blame just because i have done closing before, only a few times, and it was aways someone else who did the spoilage. the manager really got mad for nothing without finding out the full story and knowing its actually their fault too. things could have been so much better if i called in and went for the dragon swing instead...
