same old...same old...been meaning to write a new entry a while ago..but busy getting used to a new environment..well, not really 'new' new; it's kind of a visit to the past..way back like almost a decade ago: HOSTEL LIFE......
oh yeah, i'm no longer a working lady for the next 2 years(insyaAllah), so hello to being a student!at first i was sceptical about living in a hostel after comfortably living in a rented house..but then here i am in a crappy room, making myself comfortable....
the first day i got my room's key, went to check it out..it's a 3rd floor's twin sharing room..semput!~my roomate wasn't there on that day..while stepping in, i almost cried looking at the thickness of dusts everywhere..they're like inches of dusts under the bed, in the metal cupboard, and around the study table..well, didn't i mention that the person i replace left the room only a few hours before i came in??the room was like being left for yearsss!!!my mom laughed looking at my expression..then she was wondering what my roomate will be like..she guessed that my roomate would be chubby and fat; she peeked at some hanging clothes and saw the size: XL, then she saw some boxes of biscuits under the table..haha, so funny la...
so that night, i decided to sleep over at my friend's while thinking how i should start cleaning my place..the next day, came to a meeting then off to KL, still wondering what kind of roomate i would have...
on the weekend, i decided to pack up my stuff and drive for 5 hours to the university..met my roomate for the first time..my mom's guessing was not true..my roomate is just about my size, and she's a nice person too..i'm glad to have such nice roomate :) ..so then i started cleaning up...so surprised about how thick the dusts were..it took me like 3 hrs to get rid of them..it went with lots of sneezing and itching on my skin..felt like i'm breathing normally again after the cleaning session..then it took me almost an hour to unpack my stuff...then a hostel life has began.....
funny that i'm able to wake up very early everyday...and, not owning a washing machine here, i'm able to wash my own clothes...what a surprise..it's a great workout as well..i'm also trying to discipline myself, setting up 9am-5pm Mon-Thurs as my study days..while weekend Fri-Sun...glad having flexible time here since i'm doing research; no class at all..so need to plan each day on what i should do..i also need to set goals for each month, so that i could take a week leave each month if the goals are reached in 3 weeks time...hope that i can finish up my studies in two years or less...fingers crossed!!~
