Disturbed sleep

Lately I can’t seem to sleep late. Even if I sleep around 12am or 1am, I will tend to wake up at around 7am in the morning automatically without the assistance of an alarm clock. Is this the sign of getting old, or is my body tuned as a biological alarm clock? Why now? Sigh..

I wake up early, had breakfast and then sit down to watch shows I downloaded overnight. At about 11am, I will crawl back to sleep for around 2 hours. This is bad, but no matter how I try, I still wake up that early.

Last night, I woke up at 3am to use the toilet, I think probably from the water I drank before I sleep. Then at 4.30am, UKgal called. Her grandfather had just past away and she was sobbing, asking me whether she should come home.

I told her to check with her parents. In the end, both of them told her not to come home cause her grandfather also said so. Thing is, she was quite close to her grandpa.

Speaking of grandpa, I found out something interesting about a close friend of mine. I was over at her place re-installing her laptop when we talked about her grandpa. She told me her grandpa was really really rich in the 70s and 80s. He was dubbed the Abalone King of Singapore. He owns 16 banks and stayed in the prime district. However, all was gone when he loan money to people and these people didn’t pay back. In the end, the loan was defaulted and he ran away to Taipei. After residing in Taipei for 3 years, he was caught and extradicted back to Singapore and sentenced to jail for 10 years.

Now the grandpa had past away. Interesting thing is that this was produced as a tv show on local TV a while back.

We were discussing whether if she would be the same person if her grandfather still had his fortune.
