I'm in a very contradictory mood right now. For one, I can't wait till the end of my exams on the 19th of May. Then it'll be travelling with buddy Hilz. And I'll be back in Singapore with my beloved family and friends plus all the delicious food. Yet, on the other, I don't want to leave here. I don't wanna leave my professors and lecturers, the beautiful environment, the cosy church, the cute little squirrels, the peacefulness of day.... I really don't.... =(
I hate it when someone eats up my stuff.... =( I really hate it.... Damn. Recently, I just bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's new ice cream flavour, Milk and Cookies. I tried it and I really love it. I'm the kind of person who will savour things slowly when I like something, slowly savouring it with a few mouthfuls everyday. BUT, yesterday, some friends came over to my house. My friend requested to try it, and I agreed. I can still remember her saying, "Just a little bit." Yet, when I went to check the pint in the freezer last nite (while they were eating, I was doing some work), there was only one pathetic bit left, pathetic to the point that I can see the bottom of the tub.... plus, you can even see the melted-and-refrozen-parts.... From a 3/4 full pint to almost nothing left.
My friend said that everyone just ate a mouthful, but there was this idiotic housemate of ours, who just sat there eating... She is the same person who has been secretly devouring some of our food (the one who doesn't share our groceries as well). We find our butter missing, my friend's cornflakes depleting at an alarming rate, even my friend's shampoo.... As the chinese saying goes:日防夜防，家贼难防. How true it is that no matter how you try to protect your property, the thief could be coming from within the house.
I am really upset because I bought this pint at the Albany walmart supercenter which requires a car to get to, and for the nearest place to our house that sells B&J ice cream, the price has gone up! Plus I really really love that flavour and intended to keep it and savour it for a week. FREAKING HELL!!!!!!!!!!! BLEAH!!! I seriously damn upset....
Bah. On a lighter note, something in my email cheered me up yesterday. I received an email from Dr Vesa, my Minor in entre professor. He gave me feedback on the EN105B report I submitted during my Spring Break, saying he really enjoyed reading it. An email all the way from Europe (he has resigned from his position in NTU, although he's still marking our reports). =) He made my day amidst the sadness of my lost B&J ice cream.... Thanks Dr Vesa.
It's really pretty now that Spring is in full force here. If you look at my FB photos, you can see a few pictures of the pretty environment which we have been taking recently. It's sad though that my last week of lessons here has to be spent mugging for most of the time. Damn. But I am trying to fully appreciate and treasure the moments which I still have here. AAAaaawwwwwwwwwww, can someone please slow down time??
Oh and can someone please tell me why am I so addicted to eBay (although not so much recently)? I have bought a few things from there and my luggage is so full already! Someone please just tie me up! Shopping online is seriously addictive. So is playing games. So is relaxing. So is eating B&J ice cream.... ARGH! I want my Milk and Cookies!!! (As you can see, I still haven't gotten over it yet. It's kind of like an accumulated anger + sadness) =(
Please let the time freeze....
- It's ALREADY MAY????
