Spinning: The Cardigans - I Need Some Fine Wine, and You Need to be Nicer
Just came back not too long ago from a really enjoyable coffee session with the coffee kakis Rach and Elke. Spent that time catching up with them on wazzup in their lives, and various other interesting topics.
It took me much effort to grab the chance to use the computer at home, because nowadays the siblings have been hogging the computers, and have hinted in more ways than one that they "need more privacy". So I have to bugger off and go find something else to do. It's been really awkward sometimes, especially when their other halves are over in the house, because then they would be in their rooms. It'd be rude therefore to barge in and hang out with them, and not to mention plain uncomfortable. Unfortunately I share a room with one of the siblings so it's sometimes unavoidable. Guess that's another reason to encourage staying in the hostel at University. I don't mind sharing rooms, it's just that I sometimes feel so out of place and no place of my own to retreat to when there are guests. No wonder I've been dying to get out more.
Well I did mention that I 'bugger off and find something to do', and in doing so I've recultivated the habit of reading! I used to be a really avid reader in my childhood days, reading for at least an hour or 2 before I went to bed. That habit sort of died down in Secondary school, and in college my book collection was limited to, what, my Literature books? Very sad I know, for a Lit student. But it's not too late, I hope, to resume this ex-hobby of mine. I'm now reading the Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, and it's a pretty OK read, save for the confusing vignettes that jump around A LOT. The book deals a lot with time travel (doh!), so at first I was trying so hard to make sense of things, but failing. Maybe it's because I'm conditioned to the fact that Time is one-way, and that it never travels backwards/too far forward. Then I quit trying to reason and make logic out of things, and the book became more entertaining.
Oh dear, I'm rambling. Its just that I have so much to say, but haven't got the time to structure this properly. Sigh. Guess I have to wait till I get a laptop before I can use it at my own whim.
