Wake Up Wake Up On A Saturday Night

Now Lifebook asked us on Friday if we were gonna be free on Sunday morning. Or Saturday night. It's a tad blurry now. Just that he was to fetch a certain Expatriate Elf to the airport and asked if we wanted to tag along. What time was Lifebook leaving to fetch the Expat Elf? 4am.

Great. At an hour like that we could approach it from two ways: either we could sleep in early, so that we could get enough rest before accompanying them to the airport, or we could stay up till 4am and sleep after we get back from the airport.

Heck, we're a night owl. Of course we opt for option 2.

We'd used to do something like this during our uni days, especially during the exam weeks - we'd sleep in the afternoon, wake up either during dinner or by midnight, then slog through till morning, breakfast with the housemates, head off for the papers, then come back and hit the sack. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Well anyways we didn't think we would have been able to wake up at 4am. Much easier to stay awake. Kept ourselves busy with a Ramlee burger and Batman (whoa, Michael Keaton was so young!) till Lifebook showed up. Then it was off to pick up the Expat Elf.

Who, heh, had only a couple of hours sleep prior to our arrival and thus was more like a Zombie Elf. Well at least he could sleep once on the plane.

We ended up nodding off in the car until we reached KLIA - and after the elf gets his boarding pass we headed to McDonalds. We were craving for french fries during the whole trip somehow. But we were told that they didn't have fries then, only the breakfast sets. :S Can you believe it? No fries. Nada. Nix.

It's rather a first time that we weren't happy having hash browns. Even as we write this now we're still thinking of fries.

Anyways after seeing Expatriate Elf off, we crashed in Lifebook's car. Could not just stay awake for long. By the time we were out of his car we had a slightly stiff neck. Dragged ourselves to bed and had a good 8 hours of sleep. Guess we're not young anymore to pull off lasting an entire day without sleep.

Good thing Lifebook slept before driving us all then. We wondered how did the Zombie Elf do then. Maybe something like this might have happened on board:
