i think i am never really good at dealing with awkward situations... when someone close to u becomes even more distant than people u have just met, it just feels wrong. but i guess some things will improve with time? sigh i really dunno...=(
bought a little table from ikea today. wanted a swiveling chair but then sadly they were out of stock... now my room is actually quite qi2 quan2 but actually on the verge of getting too cluttered... i actually feel like i am starting to overdo things. like walls are covered with too many pictures... adding too many things to my room.... dunno perhaps it subconsciously reflects my hope/desire to really belong to this room... and hopefully to this house. hopefully today, with 3 diff ppl cooped up in their own rooms almost all day, with nearly zero interaction, won't be characteristic of what is to come this sem...

yay nice guy at honda helped me remove a scratch from my side door... though it's still slightly visible, most of it is gone! shopping around for 60000 mile servicing but havn'et settled for any. today was spring cleaning day for our house. actually pretty heartened by my housemates' cooperativeness haha in cleaning. so our house at least looks decent now... kitchen is organized, living room is not in the mess it was in when i first came back... fridge and oven both cleaner too =) haha and actually cooked my first meal with my housemates... xiaotian didn'dt cook cos he had to help his buddy. haoren cooked xian yu chao dou ya. weixiang fried fish and a whole dish of vege (broccoli and cauliflower and carrot and mushrooms) and actually i was secretly amazed cos many guys i know aren't so vege-loving haha. i made my old walnut prawns and tried out this bah kut teh mix which according to them is too 'potent' and may lead to nose bleed. i guess it was just too concentrated... somehow time flies even though i havne exactly been bumming around. like today. it just flew past. before i knew it it was dinner. haha perhaps cos i have gotten into the habit of waking up at like 1130 am everyday... better start sleeping earlier soon else i'll miss all my classes next week..

had an interesting evening + night hanging out with my housemates and some other ppl....somehow i feel like i should be more open.... cos they are actually rather nice ppl. i think previously i somehow just told myself hmm ok... i am going to feel like quite weird cos i dun really know them... but i guess sometimes u need to make the first step to try to get to know them. or just make the effort to step out of my comfort zone and stop being too AS and hang out with them to see what they actually do.. haha. they are just really different from my batch guys i suppose. spent half the night watching them and other ppl in their batch playing streetfighter or dunno what tv game.... then i actually learned intermediate skills in mahjong... wah nobody ever taught me how to calculate how many tai2s i make with my tiles till tonight. haha i am pretty amused. but of course i still didn't give in to the occasional egging me on to drink a little... on the way home in xiaotian's car the four guys were joking how he should pull the brakes and attempt to turn the car?! hmm wonder if that is what many guys do... dare their fellow pals to perform dangerous tasks?! anyway am quite amused... though in a way i was out of place, i dildn't feel as out of place as i expected myself to be... =) ha, wonder what awaits me this semester.
