Think...

As i type, the sound from a Japanese dvd plays in the background. What's new... Noise pollution as you guys call it. But i'm not doing any work so I shan't bother. But doesn't it suck that every waking moment that i'm in the room ( which is really little btw, considering i've been getting home at 12 for the past 3 days), the sound from tv or the comp permeates the room. And then at times like these, when my mind wanders... you know what silly things i think of, how nice i't d be if i have a bf, i could choose not to go back to my room! (Okae, stupid random thoughts, see what stupid things i think of! )Gah... i've resorted to staying in the library to do my work and i'm actually glad when i have to stay out late like the past 3 days cos it means i wouldnt have to hear all the sounds. I dont know if i'm a sound phobic or what okae. At the end of the day, sometimes all you want is a little quiet... even if you're not doing any work. Personal Space. Don't get me wrong, i'm not upset or anything... cos i've been there, done that. And as i've said, i'm really alot busier this term... that's why i've been out so late so often. I was this close to getting a single room, but the guys who negotiated the deal with me havent gotten back to me yet, and it's been quite some time so i'm not depending on that at all.

Anyway, i just ate the most horrible fish ever. Didn't know i'd be eating out so often this week.. so i left one slice of salmon in the fridge.. and today's the last day before it expires so i hurry cooked it. Despite the amount of butter i added and all the garlic... wah lao... it still tasted so bad... like the about to rot kinda taste. Gross man! What a put off... hope no diarrhoea. Yucks...

OH yeah, i watched Munich a couple of days back and it's a great show man! Go watch it if you can ;)

Work yesterday was fun! I'm 60 pounds richer now. Hurrah! mingling with all those guests... hahah, and they took a real interest in us cos we're students. And quite a few many of the guests were LSE alumni. Yeah... see how they all go on to be successful people. I picked up a piece of advice from Colin, this Singaporean LSE alumni guy that we "worked" for. The moment you get tired of what you're doing, move on. You have approximately 40 years of working life, don't waste your youth. Which was probably what his wife was doing... she was a corporate lawyer in Silicon Valley before she came to London and decided to call it quits... and she set up a catering business! They are a really lovely couple!

Sometimes, i wish i thought more about life. Like the meaning of life. hahaha. I do, when i think that, then i'll think of weird random thoughts like hmmm... what's the big deal with tolerating a room mate. Yeah, myopic thoughts like these... So... what's the meaning of life. What the heck am i doing in London. Hmmm.... i'm seeing the world, i'm doing my parents proud, i'm learning more about myself as time passes. So, what's the meaning of life? i'm not suicidal ah, please. Like those drama tcs shows that show ppl committing suicide cos they can't find meaning in life. Sometimes, i wish we all never have to grow up! Bahhh
