Sleep, sleep, sleep

*Yawnz* I'm so dead tired and the only light I see at the end of the tunnel is my trip.

Just concluded a deal 2 days ago, and immediately started working on another. This one's much more complicated and the timeline is so much tighter. Was suppose to deliver my 1st draft in 2 days, which I did with the help of my supe.. Working to finalise it over this weekend so that it can be delivered 'up' on Mon and obtain the requisite approvals for submission to the approving heads latest by Tues. Come Wed, presentation to these approving heads and to convince them to be on your side... Still wondering if I'm presenting or is supe presenting??

This is on top of the usual work that I have to do. I've got another 3 credit papers due on 20th as well. Haven started on any. Presentation of the REIT research is also on the 20th. Then its discussion of plans and ideas to hit the budget on 21st. MOST IMPT OF ALL, I'M FLYING ON 21st!!!!

Including the weekends, its a 'cool' 12 days till 21st. 1 deal, 3 papers, 1 presentation, 1 discussion.. Not forgetting I've yet to figure out about the part of my trip where I'll be travelling alone in Netherlands. Let's just hope I don't end up stranded on the streets and can make my way back to London in time to catch my flight home.. lol..

I was asked if I wanted to schedule another presentation on 21st.. I violently dismissed the idea, not when I'm so unprepared for my trip and really, I can't work overtime on 21st or I'm going to miss my flight. But looking at how things are progressing, more likely than not I'll have to take 21st afternoon off (die I need to go in to work in the morn) to settle all the last minute stuff for my trip, including packing or I'll feel damn miserable on an 18-day backpacking trip without the essentials..

Life is just so interesting. Everything has to happen at the same time.. Sleepless nites till I hop on the plane... lol... nw, here's the reason why I can sleep through a 13hour flight...

On another note, I was super 'suay' (unlucky) today. The bus-stop is a good 10-min walk from my place and I usu have to wait about 7-10 mins for the bus. This morn, I happily waited at the bus-stop and just when the bus came, I realised my wallet's missinG!! I panicked! One, its a coach wristlet, two, I've got quite some cash in there, three, I have a receipt of 300 bucks to be claimed, four, all my cards are in there... So I took the 10-min walk (7 tis time cos I was running late for work) back home. Wallet stared at me from the table. Arrgghhh.. why so forgetful?? Another 7-min walk back to the bus-stop.

As usual, I slept on the bus... only difference, I almost went off to Timbaktu... I didn't manage to wake up like I always could.. Thankfully for the kind soul next to me who woke me up... I'm so grateful!!! By the time I got to office, 915am.. =\
