Nocturnal creature.

Hello! It’s presently 4.26 A.M. now.
Didn’t find anything amiss with the previous sentence? Go back and read again. Notice it now? Yes, you’ve read right. It’s 4.26 A.M. now.
No assignments, no exams, no whatsoever. So what the heck am I doing up so late? I have no idea either. The only logical reason being that my biological clock is way beyond screwed.
Gave my hair a wash just less than half an hour ago, in the wee hours of the morning. Mum is sure to nag should she find out - because she feels that one shouldn’t wash one’s hair too late in the night (or too early in the morning?) otherwise one would fall sick easily.
But I couldn’t help it.
Today’s weather was just absofuckinglutely terrible.
Scorching hot, humid and windless. Air was still, apart from the occasional slight breeze but the latter was few and far between.
My short, still-cannot-tie-a-proper-ponytail hair stuck to my neck in thick, wet clumps. Yes, sweat. I didn’t have the luxury of being able to drench myself in soothing, cold water throughout the entire day.
The air-conditioned school building gave little reprieve. Because even though it was much cooler, sans bright sunlight, the perspiration evaporated - resulting in extreme stickiness. I’m sure most people out there will know that feeling all too well.
Even just now - in the night where it’s substantially cooler.
I holed myself up in my room for most (does 99.9% still count as ‘most’?) of the evening with the air-conditioner running. However, when I headed to the kitchen for a snack (breadsticks, yummy!), the warm, humid air hit me like a knife. And do note that this was at 2.00 A.M. in the morning.
Oh, anyway.
A small family of mosquitoes decided to make my bedroom their home, and I’ve been a valuable food source to them during the past few days or so. My legs are now covered with huge bites, some of which are beginning to swell.
Alcohol disinfectants prove to be very useful at this time due to their antiseptic properties - killing all the possible germs those mozzies could have possibly jabbed into my leg and also, the stinging sensation that results from rubbing said disinfectant on broken skin (caused by incessant scratching) drowns out the itch entirely.
Meanwhile, I’m seated here waiting for my hair to dry before I hit the sack. No, not to sleep - but to curl up with this book that has been calling out my name for the past two days.
I’d only go to sleep at 5.30 A.M.
Yes, my clock is that screwed. I’m officially nocturnal. Should I go become a part time owl and piss the shit out of my neighbours? Hoot. Yay.
Glances at clock.
Oh, it’s 4.41 A.M. now.
Good night, folks. And I hope for better weather tomorrow. (Or later today?)

You’re not the only one with a screwed biological clock. I sleep at 5AM over here too! We should switch countries, that way I would be a normal human being in Singapore, and you’d be a normal human being in Toronto. HAHAHAHA.
Man, the whether in SG sounds awful right now. Perils of living on the freaking equator. Ah, I know that all too well. Thank God I managed to spend for years freezing my butt off over here. I also spent one summer here and it’s.. quite strange. In terms of temperature it’s scorching, reaching 40 degreed celsius. But it’s nowhere as humid as in Singapore, so you feel the heavy sun rays on your back but you’re not sweating at all. It’s kinda strange and dangerous too, since you don’t really feel the need to drink lotsa water while you are dehydrating in the sun.
but you know what? everyone does their best thinking in the middle of the night. HAHA
“Mozzies” is seriously too cute a nickname for those damned mosquitoes. You can’t easily escape the heat, but I do hope you at least get rid of the mosquitoes soon.
Now I wish it would just stop raining over here, since I need to do, like, 2 huge loads of laundry. I’m about to run out of clean clothes…
Although I’d love some hot (read: warmer) weather now, I hate the hot weather we’ve had in my country in the past few years. I hate mosquitoes. What I do when I get a mosquito bite is putting Viks (or Vik in some countries) on it (eucalyptus… stuff. you know, the stuff to put on your chest when you have a cold?). The mosquito bites go away in no time. :D Going to sleep at 5:30 in the morning is waaay too late/early! Perhaps it’s time to change your clock? :D
