A home Away from Home
11:37 AM
When life gets unfamiliar, all you can do is make the best out of it....
After some good probing from the mother, I have decided to put up pictures of my room (....regardless of how messy i still think it is).. You should know that this makes me feel somewhat exposed... Whatever the case, I still feel pretty cozy in this quaint little room that I now call home...
I had my first politics class today. And it was everything I expected it to be. I suddenly feel this urge to watch 300. It was all about Sparta. How war was such an important element of life back then. I suppose it was just the beginning of everything I was about to learn in the next few months, but I was intrigued right away. And happy, that maybe this was just one of the better decisions that I had made. The past few weeks, post enrolment, I was still in a daze, tryin to figure out if my choices wouldn't spark my interest... I'm pretty glad that that's not the case...
Met up with Su Lyn after lunch and once again we took the streets by storm. Walked to Foodtown, nearer to campus where I stocked up on food... I hope I don't finish it too fast.. I've developed a larger appetite, thanks to endless walks and colder weather... Oh, and apparently, also an obesession with milo powder!! Seriously, stick a spoonful into your mouth and let it melt! Heaven!
Anyways, my outings with Su Lyn are always fun fun fun... She invited me for dinner with her and Queenie on Friday but I had to turn it down, coz am supposed to be cooking with some of the residents then. Fingers crossed, our meal tomorrow will be safe to consume.
Been going for morning jogs at the domain pretty frequently. If I'm lucky, I get to catch the sunrise, which, honestly, is an awesome sight! The jogs also help me channel my pent up energy. The craggy tracks are refreshing to take on. Now, if only I could get my Ipod to work like I want it to....
Thinking of walking to the harbour tomorrow by myself after my stats class to get some studying done... The view of the sea and the wind blowing against my skin sounds very appealing... And the walk will do me good too..
Other than that, things here have been moving pretty slowly... Lectures are so huge that it's impossible to find any friends in them. I got to know yet another Malaysian who's in both my econs and psych classes and we've been hanging out, but most of the time, I prefer to keep to myself during lectures... It helps me focus more too. I believe that finding good friends takes time (...despite my need for affiliation, as quipped by Cassie) so I am not stressing the small stuff.

There's my feature wall, the most fav part of my room, I have a piece of everyone back home with me here....
That's my rather messy bed.....
And the desk with laptop and the works..........
Fridge by the window.....
Closet and room door.....
And the inside of the closet.....
