关于“鬼压身”的科学解释
人在睡觉时，突然感到仿佛有千斤重物压身朦朦胧胧的喘不过气来，似醒非醒似睡非睡，想喊喊不出，想动动不了，人们感到不解和恐怖，就好象有个透明的东西压在身上，再加上配合梦境，就被给了个“形象”的名字——————鬼压身。其实，这在医学上叫”梦魇（音眼）“
同做梦一样，梦魇也是一种生理现象。当人做梦突然惊醒时，大脑的一部分神经中枢已经醒了，但是支配肌肉的神经中枢还未完全醒来，所以虽然有不舒服的感觉却动弹不得，这时，如果有人叫醒他 或推他一把，梦魇就会立即消失。

Last night, after an overdose of caffeine, I was feeling brightly awake and unable to fall into my usual slumber. Tossed and turned several times until I finally hypnotised myself to sleep by pretending to. I would describe it as 'plastic sleep'. I felt my eyelids were transparent. I was having difficulty breathing slowly - just a level before I gasp for air - and controlling my racing heartbeat. When I thought I fell asleep, I felt my eyes were wide open. It felt like I was under a plastic blanket. Uncomfortable, warm, bright, hard, fake.

Sometime into this 'plastic sleep', I heard croaking sounds. I battered my eyelids. I was no longer pretending to sleep. My ears perked a little. The croaking sound was from my sister's bed. It went "Earhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...." in a medium low pitch continuous drone. It dragged for really long (probably 30 seconds?) before I decided to shout to my sister.

"Oei, J. What are you doing?"

Never before in my life, I saw my sister jumped out of her bed instantaneously.

"I was waiting for you to wake me up! I couldn't move! I was trying to shout very hard!"

Then she described her ordeal which turned out to be sleep paralysis.

Thankfully I had an overdose of caffeine, so I reduced her pain by maybe 15 seconds.

I went back to sleep at 3:45am after popping a multivitamin. After 3 hrs of sleep in 24 hours, I am now still bright and awake.

Farking caffeine.

Meeting his church friends

The thing abt churches in Singapore (or the US) is that they give me the creeps.
With the Glossolalia thingy, it almost felt like chantings at temples when the bomoh does some kind of ritual. Not to mention the healing and faintings and 'mass hysteria' that I saw. Scary.

I'm not against the religion. What haunts me is the way they murmured the language with hands held high in hundreds, in an enclosed and huge theatre, with probably no idea whether they have really mastered the holy language, but looking so holy, eyes closed.
They even tried to be too friendly to me when I was first introduced. I immediately backed away. Besides, after the hands were down, they didn't seem that holy, after all.

When I was in church school at 5 years old, churches were more peaceful. Holy. Quiet. Nice.

When he mentioned that he wanted me to join 2 of his church friends for dinner (for his belated birthday dinner), I was instantly defensive. I was rude and told him without hesitation, in sarcasm, that I was worried they would speak tongue language in front of me. He just laughed it off. I told him, I'm scared, knowing well that he will likely think it is the work of the devil in my mind.

The dinner went well, though. I put my mind into the delicious Korean fare and tried to be as friendly as I can, though I could have been more chatty.
It was tiring.

In fact, religions scare me. They result in dispute, conflicts, and sometimes, war. They put demonic images into my mind and force me into mental compliance. Yet, I adhere.

I feel cornered, sinful, bloody, even though there are more sinners out there. I am but, just one of them.

I dislike.

I managed to help mom clear up the final dump of clothes and ironed and put them away into the shelves just before the reunion dinner.
What a feat. I cannot be a housewife for sure.

We had high cholesterol steamboat (90% seafood) + yu sheng + abalone + chicken curry. Gosh! It was so filling I fell asleep 10 mins into digestion.
When I woke up, I was beneath the God of Fortune poster, on the pink sofa.
And it's already CNY 初一!

I kinda busted my budget by 10 folds this mth due to the CNY, lack of bonus and the present for my fiance - a trip to Krabi.

I'm digging into my precious savings and I feel my heart break into a million pieces. But fret not! I have confidence that with my savings and money attracting powers, I will positively and legally be rich!
