I hate long weekends

Or should i say, i hate the first day back to work AFTER a long weekend.

That will be today. Yes, today. It's a lousy day.

Working people don't get Monday blues for nothing you know. And for me, today is bluer than any other Monday because it's THE Monday after a four-day rest. So for a color bluer than blue, i'm having Monday dark-blues today.

And the dark-blues are made up of sleepiness, laziness, and shiftlessness... or simply, xianess.  

I had difficulties falling asleep last night. We've anticipated a heavy traffic jam at 2nd-Link this morning and hence had decided to leave home earlier. I made a point of turning in early last night so as to get enough beauty sleep; yet, i tossed and turned for hours in bed, unable to fall asleep. This was probably the result of four consecutive days of sleeping late and waking up late. My biological clock was screwed.

Biological clock is a strange thing, especially for a lazy bum like me. It's always easier to adjust it to sleeping late and waking up late than the other way around; it's always easier to adjust it to lengthening sleep than shortening it.

In addition to the lack of sleep, the traffic jam this morning was terrible. It took us about 45 minutes more than the usual days to clear the checkpoint. We left home earlier but reached Singapore later than usual.

It certainly didn't help too when some selfish smartass drivers thought that they didn't have to queue up like anyone else and simply cut in the line from the third lane. I simply HATE HATE HATE these motherf*ckers... i have more nasty names for these asshole that certainly warrants a post on its own. So i'll leave the ranting to another occasion.

The next long weekends will be X'mas and 1-Jan New Year, happening one week after another. Sure i'm looking forward to the holidays, but not the days after the two long weekends, both of which will fall on Tuesday -- two Tuesday dark-blues ahead. Oh darn! I think this is something like after gorging ourselves with mouth-burning spicy food, we gotta put up with the unpleasant burning sensation at the anus later when shitting. Sorry for the crude analogy as this is all i could come up with under such dark-blue mood. Perhaps someone can provide a better one.
