hahaha.
I called 3 people to convince me to get my fat arse out of bed! haha.
The conversation with Adeeb was beyond epic... went a little something like this.
Kim: Deeep.... Tell me I need to get out of bed please?
Dweeb: (pause) Kim, did you know that you can die from sleeping too much?
Kim: Oh My Gosh, shit, why did you tell me that! Death by Sleep? I would totally do that.
We promptly launched into a heated discussion on Death by Sleep and it is settled. If we flunk our A levels, we will pool all our savings together, rent a nice place, buy a nice bed (tempur ftw!) and sleep our lives away! So following our crazy discussion, I was wondering: Could it be possible?!
Look what I found...

Sleep less, live longer?
Increased Death Rate Associated
With Sleeping 8 Hours or More
Although it’s a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a significantly increased death rate compared to those who averaged 6 to 7 hours.

Oh wow. I'm doomed for life. Especially at the rate 2010 has been progressing. Talk about becoming tedious. I seriously am not looking forward to waking up at the unearthly hour of 5 am! I hope I can wake up.
Yesterday night was good. Really proved to me that unwinding with certain friends can ultimately make me feel a lot better at the end of the day. I think it really made a difference, connecting with someone I never thought I would... I'm really thankful. Plus with vocal today, I feel lighter (though my throat is considerably sore now :P).
Someone quoted this to me recently, I just thought I should share:
Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Somehow, it reignited my dying flame.
I guess we just need the truth to be put out in front of us. Only then, we can move on with our lives. My hole is filling, slowly by surely. I'll get there someday. Least I know that now.
We'll get through 2010 guys, we just gotta.
