Space to breathe

Ok. Rant time.

a) To whoever left the unwashed pans (containing leftover pasta sauce) and cooking utensils on the stove when I arrived back, you are disgusting
b) To whoever stole my food whilst I was away, you're mean
c) To a certain somebody (won't name names for this..), please don't fornicate in the living room, especially since that's the only access to the bathroom downstairs
d) To the same somebody, don't carry a portable heater with you everywhere you go. Our last electricity bill was over $2500, and the majority of us weren't here for 2-3 weeks
e) To the same person still, please don't take all the chopping boards into your room to cut up weed. Although if it ever occurs to you to return it, I think I'd like to sterilise it before use...

Thank you.

Ahhh, that feels so much better.

Anyway, we have a new housemate - Vivienne! Cindy introduced her to the apartment, so, as part of Jared's deal, she received a free carton of beer! Another girl is moving into the third bedroom downstairs in a few weeks. Finally, the balance between genders is slowly evening out. Girls are so much cleaner! And less disturbing. ^^

Flying north for winter

I'm back home!! And for some reason, it feels colder here despite being located closer towards the equator. I put it down to the humidity [rain...==].

Being in my room is amazing. Not because I see a particular item and feel some connection to it, nor does it inspire a fond memory. Instead, I'm surprised at how SMALL it is. Yes, in comparison to the room that I've inhabited for the last 3 months, my room at home is a baby. Not to mention that my dad's essentially be using it as his study. . .

Empty house

Everyone is disappearing, one-by-one to the far corners of the earth. Only Joey, Stefan and I are left in the house, and Jeff is the only one next door. Myriam and Alex left early this morning for Fiji. Technically, I only lived with them, and I'll miss them because they were probably the most sane ones out of all the people in the house.

...............

Scary movie night was a success despite three people pulling out last minute. I think I might be getting use to horror movies. Because neither of the films seem to have any lingering effect like the 'Grudge' or 'The Ring' did when I watched them a couple of years back.
Thank you Michael and Young for coming back to clean!

The best word in the world: Freedom

It seems that everytime I'm about to rant on this blog about messy housemates leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen or living room, it would spontaneously disappear. It happened again yesterday. Despite the fact that these particular dishes sat there for roughly 8 days.

But on more positive news, exams are finally over, which means just one thing: FREEDOM! For now. Though I'm sure all 120 of us will savour these 3 and a half weeks.

To celebrate our freedom last night, a few of us went to a renowned grill which proclaims that it's the best in the state, and managed to rack up a $325 bill between us. And Michael still believes that it's not the best steak he's had.

Today, the world revolved around basketball for 15 meddie students [WHERE WERE YOU JASON?!]. I'm quite surprised that many people showed up! And my arms are about to fall off.

But the most exciting of all post-exam events should be tomorrow night, which is...... Scary Movie Night!!! I'm sure 1408 would be significantly better than Scream. Can't wait, can't wait!
Loving it here! Though not the weather - still bloody freezing.
