I woke up super late again. Argh. I have this nasty feeling that I might be suffering from that disorder from psychology... called 'seasonal affective disorder'. I have the symptoms of excessive sleeping, excessive craving/eating, weight gain. Ahhhh! How?! Fortunately, the only symptom I'm lacking is depression. Anyways, I found this article describing how scientists investigate this disorder using hamsters:

I found it quite amusing that they actually use such funny methods to determine whether the hamsters are sad and depressed. Please don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not a cruel person and I definitely love animals. In any case they're not torturing these hamsters, since according to the article hamsters don't sink in water. So that means they can't possibly die cos they can float. Oh wells, I guess the test might actually just make them more depressed huh. Want to give up but still cannot die. Poor things...

But then, I realised something contradictory about the article. Cos you're supposed to be craving for foods that are sugary, but how come the hamsters 'decline to slurp up tempting offers of sugar water'? And the scientists say this shows that they are depressed. How weird.

If only my desk lamp's fluorescent bulb hadn't fused, I might have gotten some light therapy. And it doesn't help that I can't find a replacement bulb! It's quite lame, but Tesco stocks bulbs in all sorts of shapes and sizes except one that can be used with this lamp, which indicates that the bulb should be a maximum 11W G23 fluorescent one. It was the same in the indoor market when I went there with Poot last Friday too. Even more lame is that Argos, which sells this model of desk lamps, does not sell the bulb for it... despite selling all sorts of other bulbs! -_-''' Unless I want to buy a new desk lamp, which comes with the bulb. Diaox... Okay nevermind, maybe one day I'll go to Homebase and see if they actually sell bulbs, since I got my desk lamp there.

I'm just a bit glad that I'm currently craving for things that I can't really get here, like chicken rice... sighs. Oh actually I could get it, if I cook it. But nevermind, I'm just trying to ignore the fact that I could cook chicken rice here too... I don't need to gain any more weight. Unlike some people in Singapore, cos I just saw this advertisement for weight gain in TODAYonline. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes but on closer look it really was for weight gain... generally targeted at men who want to look muscular, it seems.
