As per the title of this post, I CAN'T FUCKING SLEEP!!! Its 6.30am.Tried to stay awake yesterday till about 6pm London time but unfortunately, lying on a leather couch isn't exactly very conducive for that. Luckily I woke up around 9pm, had dinner (also known as tea here...weird) and then went off to sleep again. Unfortunately, I woke up at 4am to the sound of my sms tone. "YOU HAVE A MESSAGE!!," it blared. Fuck, should have remembered to switch that off last night so that the people in Singapore don't wake me up while I'm trying to get some shut eye. But it was from her...Bloody hell. Did she not know that its 7 hours behind here in the UK? Ouh well.

Seeing as I can't sleep, I'm back in my aunt/cousin's home office, typing away on this post for the pleasure of my reader/s. Lucky you, you pampered bastard/s. Another post for you to read at my expense. My arms still feel like lead after yesterday's training. My aunt/cousin has a trainer that comes by her house every Friday to help herself and her husband, keep fit. Talk about living the life of the rich and famous man. The routine includes a bunch of press-ups, short runs, a bit of boxing and for me, skipping. All of which lasted for about an hour. I must say the boxing bit was quite fun. Could envision myself doing that back in Singapore. Maybe I'll sign up with a gym . HAHA....as if.

I have been reading this book entitled "Where God was born" which is like going on a fascinating journey to the origins of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. I don't know how much of it I can believe but I guess it can't be wrong to read something which uses the backdrop of religion to hype the archaelogical aspects of it. But I AM getting confused with all the terms and specific references to the Bible. Now, as far as I know, the author is a Jew. Thus I am not quite sure which Bible he is referring to. From a Muslim standpoint, the Jews use another book called the Torah, the Christians use the Bible (the whichever version that is) and we Muslims use the Quran (pronounced as Kooran, only one version exists, apparently). But excluding the specifics, the author writes stuff which is relevant, at some stage or another, to the believers from any of the 3 religions. Not something new for me. Islam, being the last out of the 3 religion sto start, has the benefit of hindsight. Thus stories, poems in the Quran, did indeed mention the prophets that exists in Judaism and Christianity. Before I get carried away with this track of mind though, I think I better stop. I, for one believe that religion should be a private matter to be discussed privately in order to prevent mass misunderstandings. Thus any discussions about religion should and will be kept out of my blog. Unless of course I'm talking about the gribes I have with mine. Don't even get me started on that one.

Anyways, today will be another chilled out day. I reckon I'll be heading into London to do some sight-seeing. FUCK! I just realised I have forgotten to bring my digicam. But I still have my trusted nano ipod and books so I guess I'll be alright. Hopefully find some adventure along the way. Unlikely, but I do hope..
