At 5am yesterday, I found myself sprawling in the hallway with a pen in one hand, forehead in the sketchbook and my lips wet-kissing my own writing. I could not remember falling asleep. Who can, anyway. But I remember being attacked by the overflowing-ness of my ideas around 3am as I was getting to bed.
.
Since I simply could not get settled, I got up, grabbed my sketchbook and my Pilot G2-07, and just sat where the light was left switched on – outside the kids bathroom. The door was left open as well so Edrick could find his way there in the middle of the night. To get myself comfortable, I laid down on my tummy. And I simply started writing.
.
The next thing I knew, there was a pressing pain on the side of my forehead. Sure enough it was the weight of my sleepy head against the binder ring of my sketchbook/organizer. The first thing that came to my mind was a song from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, that is Ladki Badi Anjani Hai.
.
If that wasn’t strange enough, get this… the first person that came to mind was Hans Isaac. How’s that for sleepwriting? I must have climbed Kilimanjaro with Hans and rolled down the mountain. I probably rolled away waaaayyy too far and landed in the hallway, in this place on Pokrovsky Hills. As for Hans Isaac… uh, could that be him waiting for me in bed?
.
I need sleep.
.
I need a lot of sleep.

Questa è Enida 
Kuat verangan nih.
It could get worse. It could be Saiful Apek with Gaga’s Bad Romance.
Muahahahahahaahahahhaah! Nothing worse than a Malaysian nyonya gelak so besar like pontianak harum sundal malam di pagi hari di Bukit Pokrovsky sampai her Finnish jiran ketuk dinding suruh diam. Muahahahahaah. I miss listening to Saiful Apek on the morning radio in KL!
Euwww…is this what insomnia can do to you? Hans Isaac with Shah Rukh’s song?
Hahahahaha. Actually it can do more than that. Like this morning, it was a duet between a nyonya who bangun pagi to siram pokok bunga and Hugh Grant, singing “All I wanna do is find my way back into love…” with a watering-can in the nyonya’s hand, and Drew Barrymore giving them an evil stare from the corner of the nyonya’s backyard.
Insomnia is the sole cause of dementia in my case, Angie.
