The Devil Wears Power

For some time now, I realise I've been manipulated by a creature I don't have a name for (or rather, I refuse to give acknowledgement to). And it's taking charge of my life instead of me.

But I guess I better clear the haze up in case you think I've been possessed or something similar.

Choi choi choi. Tai Kat Lai See.

This devil without a face is in fact a combo of procrastination, laziness, weakness and everything little thing that antagonises my efforts to be industrious, productive, and erm, wholesome.

Ok, take Thursday for example. I said I was gonna go to Crwys+Albany Road to do only 2 things, that was to send my jacket for dry cleaning and go food shopping at Tesco's. But surprise surprise, I wondered into Peacocks, Woolworth's and those nice little shops at Central Road, and ended up spending money and wasting time for something I don't need!

And when I was at Tesco's, I promised myself I will only buy healthy food this time around, but hey ho, the 'buy one get one free' Doritos offer was too much to pass so I greedily stuffed them into my basket. On my way to the check out counter, I couldn't resist those lovely strawberries at the fruits aisle, so I decided to buy 2 boxes.

Looking across the fruits aisle, I saw the dairy section, and a fattylicious thought struck me.

I could have it with cream! That would be heavenly, wouldn't it? You'd think the image of my arteries being clogged up would have kept me away from it but ha! Temptations have a way of blinding even the most sensible of souls. I now understand why some of my lecturers continue to smoke even though they know the hazards that come with it.

It's all to do with WILLPOWER baby!

Usually, when I'm walking alone, I'd think of songs to sing in my head that would make the journey less boring, but the entire walk back from Albany Road that day was filled with only one thought...

"When is the best time to have my yummy dessert? Tell me Quando Quando Quando!"

Sigh...

Then yesterday, I had plans to do up my notes on histamine and asthma, but upon seeing I have a new DVD dispatched to me by LoveFilm, I couldn't say no. Failed miserably to contain myself so I spent the evening watching Miss Congeniality 2, which was quite good as far as sequeals go. Found it funnier than the first. Ok I know iMDB users only rated it 4.8, but I don't like to trust that website because come on, they rated the Godfather 9.1. How extreme is that? Ok fine, I've not watched the whole film but I fell asleep in the first 5 minutes so that is a testament of how "good" the movie is in my books.

Haha, as if watching the movie hadn't make me feel guilty enough, I had my 'strawberry with cream' dessert to go with it. What a double dose of sins!

Oh dear dear. This has got to stop.

Like what Gracie Hart says, "I need to wake up and smell the machiatto".

I really do.

And I'm not going to give it to the devil. Anymore!
