First time Sudoku player

So we had a late dinner last night, and after that, I didn't want to go to bed immediately to avoid being a fatty.

Instead, I played with my cell. Clicked and installed Sudoku, a game I heard so much about with news of addiction, but I've never played it myself. Neither did I know what the rules of the games were, as all these while I thought we were supposed to fill in the boxes with numbers so that each side adds up to the same amount.

Until I read the rules and regulations, plus a tutorial given along with the game. Gee, that game needs a lot of mind work, I thought to myself.

So I started to fill in the blanks. I was lying down on bed, and fiance was seated next to me with the computer on his lap as usual. Then I think I started talking to myself, whispering the numbers that I was filling in and that brought his attention. He peeked at what I was doing, and asked me about it. Gave him the details, he looked at the boxes and numbers and then he laughed, continued with his own entertainment. He watched stuff on YouTube.

Then as usual, he's my time keeper. After I lost track of time, he said, "I thought you said you're sleepy, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Oh, okay. So I turned off the game, and went back to the usual cell screen that I have. And discovered that my cell battery had dropped to the remaining last bar. Left the cell in my bag, and went to sleep. Zzzzz...

Woke up this morning after some strange dreams. I dreamt that I was at some school, and there were some evil stuff. There were wild dogs, chasing after some particular kids and I had no way to stop them. Used all kinds of methods, but not much help. Maybe just a little, but not much. Bleah... waking up is easier than to dispel those evil creatures on my dream. So I chose to wake up instead. Hahaha!

And yeah, it's late, it's 10.30 now. I better get moving, have an appetite for some half-boiled eggs for brunch. I bet fiance will only wake up sometime after 2 or 3pm. I didn't know what time he slept, I only know that each morning I wake up next to him. That's just sweet enough for me. =)

That number puzzle game and all its kin are horrible inventions!!:P Hard on the eyes...and turn my brain to mush. I would rather spend my time on crossword puzzles. At least with those you feel smart for answering questions and spelling words properly:P

Ugh, just hearing the name of that puzzle irks me. I may have been good at math growing up...but I never liked it:P

Now, if the sudoku puzzles turned out to be some sort of color-by-number thing that you could turn into a picture...THAT might be fun and worth the effort. But, every day....1-9 in every box and row...bah!

^.^ i tried a few times to entice him to wake up early, told him to "let's go buy stuff at the market tomorrow, will you wake up early tomorrow?" he would say "huh" as an answer and then sleep until almost noon. there goes my market plans, no wet market shopping for me.

Wet market shopping? And, will you stop at the third moon on Rigel 7 to feed the Glurpnoids, too?:)

WHat in the world is wet market shopping?

Such an exotic life you lead:) I am looking through a mirror at Wonderland.

I would get up early for you...most likely:P

Hahaha!

Wet market, how do you explain it? It has lots of stalls... one stall selling fresh vegetable, another stall selling fish, another chicken, another fruits... and so many of these individual stalls in a crowded market. And the ground is almost always wet especially near the fish stalls.

It's different from the neat stalls you have at TESCO or WALMART or even Cold Storage.

No, even you won't wake up if you sleep at 4am in the morning. You won't do with just 3 hours of sleep. I meant to wake up by 6.30 and get to the market by 7. :-)

I know what an open market is. And, I have seen wet cobblestone areas with tents selling various things. But, I have never heard such a term as "wet markets". I thought it might be a market where they only sell wet merchandise or sell on the water in boats. I recall some travel show mentioning a market where you assemble your shopping in a canoe while moving from boat to boat.

For you, I might even go without sleep one day:P haha. Oh wait, I work tomorrow. I need to get to bed:P

LMAO!

Yeah, open market. I told fiance "market" and he asked me what it is. So I was trying to tell him "wet market", with stalls etc. And he just didn't quite bother, so I wonder what else to term it. I only know that it's all wet, it's crowded and those fish mongers are always busy with their hands cutting and removing scales from the fish.

Those on water boats are available in Thailand.

Good night! Get to bed, you're in a different time zone. LOL!

Haha:D Ah, so you know of the boat markets then...Thailand...I wonder what part. That has been one of my destinations for travel in mind. But, I have yet to get there.

Ok, now I can picture the "wet market". I can see one that I saw on TV once...in Seattle or some part of California where fortune cookies became Americanized. There was a market for fish and such where the men were dressed in fishing and ice locker gear as they tossed big fish around before chopping them in pieces. I suppose there was plenty of wet ground, and it was messy. I suppose in the Asian/Malaysian variety, there is more exotic stuff like fish eggs, squid, eel, etc.
