Flat Woes with No Toes
Dear friends and family in Malaysia,
Hide your chocolates, clear your schedules, and prepare yourselves for the upcoming event of the year: Da Fi's homecoming! *resounding applause and cheers* Will be back in December, wee~!
Meanwhile, I've been busy packing my stuff cos I'm getting kicked out of my flat soon. It's been really interesting this year, flatting with Iraqi, Japanese, Chinese and Kiwi people. Some of my flatmates are hard out party people, and it's been hellish having to put up with their lifestyles.
Nevertheless, I've come to realise that it was a blessing in (VERY heavy) disguise. For example, the alcoholic Iraqi guy gave me some of his law notes which turned out to be pretty useful during my exams. So if you're living with the worst flatmates ever, try and look to the bright side... at the very least, you know that for next year, it can only be better!
Just to let you have a taste of how horribly disgusting our flat was, here's a letter our dear residential manager left on our noticeboard (i don't like her much, bleh):

Flat 38
Everton Hall
Today I came with Kevin to check that the stuff in the lounge area had been removed.
I am disgusted by the state of your flat. It is filthy. Earlier in the year we had complaints of rats in and around your flat. I am not surprised! Looking at the amount of food and other rubbish in your kitchen, any self-respecting rat is going to have a fantastic time there without any effort. We shall not do anything more to get rid of vermin should they decide to move in.
Be aware that commercial cleaning charges are likely to be around $300- $400, possibly more, to make your flat habitable at the end of your Resident Contract period.
I suggest you sit down at a flat meeting and decide NOW how you are going to address this issue.
Sincerely,
Jane Rendall

Sorry, no photos in the near future cos I can't find my camera cable... Oh well, don't think you'd want to see a real photo of the rat anyway...

The Drastic Decision
To me, study=snack time. For the past month, I've been living on a diet of chips, roasted nuts, and of course, chocolate while preparing for my exams.
I absolutely have to have something to munch while I'm reading. My justification is that munching increases your saliva output, which somehow gets more oxygen to your brain (I forgot how... but i swear it's scientifically proven!) I have also discovered that the frequency of my hand-to-mouth movement increases exponentially with my stress level.
Unfortunately, the benefits to memory retention by the increased flow of oxygen has very major side-effects to other parts of my body-- it's making me puff up pretty rapidly, and presumably not with oxygen...AGH! I can't even fit into my tight jeans anymore, and my rolls of fat are leaking out of the top of my jeans..

Nooooooooooooooooo~~~
As such, I have resolved to go vegetarian for a month starting from the day I finish my exams (2 weeks from now)! You know what the best thing about diets is?
...
They always start in the future
...
And I just realised that chips, nuts, and chocolate aren't forbidden for vegetarians...hmmm, this does NOT bode well for the diet
