Zombie Antidote

Nap time taken yesterday: 1/2 hour.
ZZZ time yesterday: 4 hours.
Battery level today: Super Low.

Had a late night yesterday catching up on our leisure time on a week day. Mr. Dragon, my other half, is a late bloomer entrepreneur. He's sprinting in the rat race trying to make up for the lost time. Thus, every second we spend together without falling asleep is priceless.

Watched "Dawn of the Dead" midnight movie on our very own mini Cineplex at home yesterday. Got a set of home theatre as our wedding gift. =) Long live my little brother in-law!

The movie was about the government experimenting with a kind of drug or virus for warfare purpose. Somehow it got out of hand & turned the residents of a small town into flesh eating zombies. The show was ok-la. Not too scary but it kept the suspense running. I think it's better than "The Grudge 2" because it managed to keep me awake (watching the show from the gap of my fingers covering my eyes) till the end of the show, which was way past my bed time. My favourite part of the show was how the still-human residents spent their time hiding (more like indulging) in a shopping mall from the zombies while trying to figure out a plan to escape. Ok, before this post turns into a movie review, I had better move on. Sorry, got side tracked.

This morning, I woke up a zombie myself. Had difficulty going through the usual morning routine of brushing teeth, washing face, dressing etc. Well, I got through brushing my teeth, alright but I think I had washed my face twice and I only realised that I was holding a bottle of talcum powder instead of my food container only on my way to the car. This was in addition to my mum's consistent reminder to take my food container with me to work. Geez.....

I realised that this zombie needed a quick kick on the butt before she embarrasses herself in front of her colleagues later. So, I quickly downed my last bottle of good’ol zombie antidote, a.k.a. Brand's chicken essence, for an immediate energy booster. Maybe it's really all in the mind but I did feel energetic the whole day today. Not a single yawn was sighted.

Note to self: To stock up on zombie antidotes.
