And so as I expected, I had nothing to do all day today. If not for a short lecture at 2:15pm, I would have packed up my stuff and just left the office before my lunch break. I was getting dirty looks from my colleagues when I told them I had finished all my work whilst they were still struggling with theirs. Hey, who asked them to take their own sweet time to do theirs in the first 2 days??? Hence, I sat around looking bored and made small talk with random people (like Mr. Hot who flashed me another dazzling smile - someone should make those illegal) and left immediately after the lecture (another round of dirty looks came shooting my way). It's probably the last day I'll get to leave so early because from tomorrow it's hard core all the way. I better enjoy it whilst I can.
People can't understand why I love to leave the city early and go straight home. Besides the fact that I am tired, home is my sanctury. Although it doesn't look like a home to most people, because it's just a large room, I call it my home because it's my safe haven and I'm proud of it. Every single thing in my room is a reflection of who I am. It's looking a little emptier than usual because I brought some stuff back to Singapore, but it's still very comfy and homely. My friends usually hang out in my room and I love it when they do because I can play host and take good care of their every need. I inherited that trait off my mom and aunt, by the way. They are excellent hosts and throw awesome parties. Our guests always leave happy and over-fed *lol*.
This is a picture of what my room back home looks like:
It's the majority of my desk but not the whole thing. It looks untidy but I assure you it's very organised. You don't want to see my sister's side of the table.
I do miss my Josh stuff and my soft toys and wanted very badly to bring them back with me but it's just stupid to keep bringing them back and forth. When I find a permanent place for myself then I will bring them with me.
I will have to do a massive clean-up of my current room. At the moment it looks messier than normal because I haven't had the time/energy to get organised.
Got a disgusted call from Syl because I told her since I was in the city and ended early, I might as well shop around. And she was like, damnit I still have to go to work. And I'm like hulo, unlike you, I have been waking up at 6am everyday and she had the audacity to tell me that she slept until 12pm!!! Then again she probably slept late and I slept early so we probably got around the same number of hours. But the thought of sleeping in is just nice.
I realised that I have been cultivating some good habits which I had forgotten about for a long time. Like waking up early and sleeping early. Like having breakfast. I haven't done these things in eons and suddenly I'm forced into it - it's not that bad after all. It may be worse in winter when I have to get up at 6am and it's like 5*C. We'll talk about that when the time comes. At the moment it's so frigging hot it looks like there's not going to be a winter. I can't believe it's going to be 38*C tomorrow...that's much worse than Singapore!!! It's supposed to be autumn!!!
Yinny was Joshing around @ 2:03 PM
