I Can't Sleep..

That, is an oxymoron in itself. When combining 'I' as in me, as in Aina Farzana Ismail, with 'can't sleep' which is the predicate, you get a hilarious statement.

Okay enough la. Malas pulak nak merepek.

My female classmates in 5SC1 were assigning people to their animal counterparts a few days ago and mine's a.. sloth. A sloth.. At first I thought they were telling me I'm like a "sleuth" and I was like oh okay sounds cool, do you mean I'm like a detective or something? Rupanya SLOTH. I took a minute to react to that because I was trying to remember how a sloth looks like. I know they hang from trees and sleep a lot. And a lightbulb came to life in my head and then I was like, are you people saying I'm SLOW? And Nad was "No no, sebab you relaxed je". Hah, nice try woman. :-D

So I googled "sloth", and these are apparently, all me.

The sloth's taxonomic suborder is Folivora, while some call it Phyllophaga. Both names mean "leaf-eaters"; the first is derived from Latin, the second from ancient Greek. Names for the animals used by tribes in Ecuador include Ritto, Rit and Ridette, mostly forms of the word "sleep", "eat" and "dirty" from Tagaeri tribe of Huaorani.

(the last sentence is where I said wtf)

Sloths move only when necessary and even then very slowly: they have about a quarter as much muscle tissue as other animals of similar weight.

It had been thought that sloths were among the most somnolent animals, sleeping from 15 to 18 hours each day.

(HA HA)

While they sometimes sit on top of branches, they usually eat, sleep, and even give birth hanging from limbs. They sometimes remain hanging from branches after death.

(Very amusing, the last part)

Oh and "slothful" is a valid adjective. But don't try to use that one on me. Hah.

P.s.
You have to admit, this one's kinda cute.

P.s. Apahal semangat sangat sampai letak gambar ni?
