if life is mostly play and little work

we had a horrible day today. slept at 2+am and have to wake up by 6.30am for 02206 lab. and the lab itself was a disaster. not that much of how difficult the drawing of graphs, euler diagrams and what have you are, but operating in the linux system is simply mind-boggling. in two hours we figured out how to print, and we did it the cheapskate method by using the 'print screen' fcn. all of us skipped the lecture after it to catch some sleep.
the day went through with intermittent sleep and study. and when i finally regained enough energy we went to bldg 308 to play chatek and pool. those few hours were good. it helped me forget the stress from the morning's lab. we played hard, laughed and choked, and enjoyed well.
how i wish life is always like that. with a larger dimension towards living than surviving. when play means play and work means work, it seemed to me that even as the hours spent on work is long, the time at play has sufficiently eased my tensed brain. i've never felt so good, coz usually through the semester in nus i've never given mr 4ghz a break. and after exams i neglected him and let him rot away. right... so now i'm gonna give mr 4ghz some brain food (sudoku!) before i let him rest. :p
