a blessing in disguise
this morning i was totally gripped with fear to realise that i actually woke up at 9 plus am....
the thing is i am supposed to meet my prof at 9am this morning to let him see my second draft. and because i (very fan jian-ly) decided to include the second model into my fyp only on this monday, i was really rushing to complete it, with all the lectures, tutorials and project discussions.
then yesterday, i broke my own personal record by staying up to complete my fyp overnight ( I only stay up overnight for fun like at stayovers usually =p). and despite pia-ing from 9pm until 5 plus am i wasn't able to finish it, but at least it looked decent enough for my prof's eyes.
then i was thinking.. hmm.. i could still take a nap until 7am, even for just one and a half hours. so off i went to bed and when i woke up...... its 915AM ALREADY.
I really was totally stunned. and then suddenly i felt very very scared. cos my prof actually had something on the whole day (at jurong island i heard) and yet he wanted to spare some time for me and i actually didn't turn up. and wat's worst, it's because i overslept!! =S
I quickly tried to search his handphone number but couldn't find.. so i turn on the comp wanting to email him... and guess what
in my inbox lies his email.. sent at at 855pm... to cancel this morning's consultation.
wah.. i really felt instant relief. imagine what he would think of me if i didn't turn up for a scheduled meeting without prior notice and that he had squeezed in the meeting in his schedule because he had to rush to jurong island after that. heng ah~
and then the realization that i needn't have worked so hard yesterday night haha...
two "funny" things in this whole scenario:
1. i did check my email consistently ( coz i had asked my prof something and thought he might reply even after office hours) until 8 plus pm when i started real work. and he sent me that email at 855pm =S
2. the reason why i couldn't wake up in time was.... i set my alarm at 7pm instead of 7am!!!
so the moral of the story is
if you need to wake up an hour later for an important meeting
don't sleep.
