Sleepiness

I fell asleep walking yesterday, even jumping too. I woke up this morning, feeling like I had a serious hangover, but I don't drink and not even reaching the legal age just yet. Exhaustion has consumed me and beat me at its best so far. I think it must have caused by the terrible headache before I went for the Spelling Bee. Anyway, the Spelling Bee was so depressing. Phoebe and I were separated into different groups.

Like I said before, I'll tembak the word if I don't exactly know what it is. So, my first word was "synagogue". First impression, the big question mark above my head. Within 60 seconds, I had to figure out how to spell it. Among the 15 attempts of spelling it within a minute, none of it was correct. The team's first round was rather unlucky or as Cassandra called it, "We were being scammed". *haha*

The next word, was what would you call it? Grotesque? I mean I know the word but the man who pronounced the word was totally off. Thanks to the definition, at least I capture a brief glimpse of how it should be said and spelled correctly. The last one was not too bad, "acquisition", but I kept on hearing the sss... sound behind. Assuming it was plural, I kept on spelling with the 's' behind but I just gave up in the end, and cancelled off the 's'.

We had to go for the tie-breaker which was perhaps the nerve-racking thing ever. As the stupid Michelle, I went and sat in the front. Twiddling my fingers, knowing my name was last on the list in their hands, I was extremely comfortable where I was. Then there was the B0035 ringing through the hall, and suddenly my name was being called out. I got the first word wrong anyway, and the second word, "finesse" correct. In conclusion, we did well, almost the whole team went into the semi-finals. Hopefully, the next one wouldn't be so hard and they ought to get people who can pronounce better.

And oh yeah... it's durian season. So check out a durian stall soon or you'll have to wait another year for heavenly delicous durians.
