monday~

today was a perfectly nice day spent at home=).


i really love my home alot. my peaceful haven. maybe that's why i can't tear myself away from home and stay in the hostel. had bad vibes about staying in hostel after visiting eve's hostel room. maybe pampered me is too used to my huge bedroom which used to house three girls until my two sisters got married off. and having a bed and a study table in one room is really a bad idea for me. cos the bed will just become my permanent home while the table will be left abandoned in a cloud of dust. haha.. visited xt's hostel last week and once you enter her room, you don't immediately see the bed facing you, instead there was this board at the front (which i ltr on concluded is the bedboard actually, ie her head will face the door direction rather than legs), so the room seemed less exposed. she brought me arnd the other places of her hostel, the laundry room, pantry and the rooftop! the rooftop had a makeshift swing! i love it! it's the kind of swing which is made up of a flat plank and some thick ropes holding up the plank. i love swings=). well and the sun was setting as we swung on happily, kicking our legs high up in the air, with bird flying across the orangey sky. picturesque eh? haha.


maybe i'm just the lazy kind of person who will be as dependent as i can, for as long as i can. sigh. all the more i should drag myself out of the comfort zone and try out new things and be more independent. hmmm. but i think i will despair and fret over the whole process of uprooting my life from home and stuffing all of what i need into one small hostel room. there are soo many things to consider. laundry, meals, clothes, entertainment, things i might suddenly need etcetc. plus other things to cope like next door neighbours, hall people, hall activities, hall politics(danger of entering black list if deemed too much of a mugger slash wet blanket), having to entertain people 24/7 cos there is no such thing as "i need to go home! i live very far!" or "i'm going home. bye!" or pretending to be uncontactable when you're only a few doors away.


haha. as usual. i digress. anw, spent a really peaceful day at home. woke up at 10am, watched tv (v old show! ka fei wu) while eating breakfast, read ytd's Sunday Times (amazing huh.. haven't read through a full set of papers since eons ago) and cut out an article that may come useful for socio term paper, read a book which i left lying arnd, sat down for a minute or two to puzzle about chinese term paper, had lunch, and finally sat down to switch on my lappie. lappie started up with that obnoxious loud vooming sound and took its own sweet time showing me the "Welcome" icon before it was finally ready. got online and started doing everything other than doing my term paper. grumbled to ky fr a while, crapped w sh fr a while, got on the online scrabble website i saw in Sunday Times earlier and started racking brains over scrabble. why did i turn to games that make my head ache more? *shrugs* but it was really fun as well:). tried to find puzzzle bobble online but ended up in alot of website with games to download but not FOC=/. (cos fyi, lappie has NO games in it at all. nil. zilch. nada!)


got down to serious work at 3.05pm. typed, backspaced, stoned, flipped papers, groaned, popped in and out of kitchen, drank water, made several toilet trips, typed somemore, started to count the number of punctuation marks i had on the term paper (cos the stupid word count counts chinese punctuation marks as chinese characters as well), typed, got confused, resisted temptation to call someone to rant, typed, minus-ed all the punctuation marks i had in total, went for dinner at 7pm.


sighh.



minus-ing all those punctuation marks, i had about officially 3000 words. word limit is 3500 words. i have yet to include an introductory para for the first chunk of the term paper, developed on 2 points on the second chunk, further exhaust brains to derive new points for the first chunk.


after dinner, started up lappie and started chatting happily with sh, eve and yt on msn. got pretty high chatting with my nice lovely friends=D. friends are wonderful destressing machines, you know:). haha. got offline arnd 11pm. crapped with ky and yun fr awhile on the phone, crapped with my brother fr awhile, and decided to get down to reading hong fen for chinese studies tutorial tmr.


then i got distracted and started blogging.


wellswellswells.


i like my nice comfortable monday=). which is coming to an end soon! in 15mins. and a long week looms ahead! with stress levels shooting up as friday draws nearer! boohooo. FORTY PERCENT of my chinese studies module's fate will be sealed on friday!


p.s. i have a big red pimple in the middle of my nose and it has been stuck there fr ALOT OF DAYS. sian.
