Home Alone Day 1

I am known to be such a lazy bum. I'd rather stay in bed all day long than going out sometimes. Sigh.

On my first day alone at home, I had a few things on my list to cross off which are:

1. go to Scotiabank and change home address
2. deposit the money that I've withdrawn the other day
3. visit the donation box and drop off the unused boots
4. go to the bookstore to check out books

I managed to cross off every single one except number two because I forgot to bring the money... Uh, I'll do it some other day then.

I went to the bookstore and managed to bother Snowbell. HEHE. He was under the table, on top of some boxes, trying to sleep. Being me, I tried to pat his head and feet and he welcomed my gesture by giving me presents to take home!

Ohhhh, and on my way home from school, I saw three other cats!
Cats bring me happiness. :3

Home alone

The title says it all. I'm all by myself for the next two months and that's that.

It's a mixed feeling. I'm scared and at the same time, excited. I'll be all alone, with no one else but I can do anything I want, whatever and however, and no one will come to judge.

But uhh, I don't like this.

I know I'm being a brat and all, but I just had to. I'm trying so hard to understand but I can't help myself. I want to whine but I can't and so, I'm upset.

I don't like this. T_T

Dreams

If I am not an engineer in the future, I have thought of a list of stuff that I would do, or might do, or could do to generate income.

1.Recycling Shop/Company

This is my most ambitious dream that I can have, I think. It is to establish a company that is in charge of the whole recycling process. I am assuming that Malaysia does not have a proper organization or body that manages this part of waste process because to recycle takes so much effort to be done. I would like to be one (insert laugh here) to ease the process for each person. To recycle would be as easy as throwing away another piece of garbage. 

The recycled products would then be used to manufacture recycled stuff (duh) like papers and pencils and whatsoever. In order to encourage people, they would get points for every specific amount of recycled papers/bottles/cans. The collected points can be used to redeem stuff in the future (if I were to make them send the recycled stuff to a specific location). If I were to pick it up at each home, uhh, haven't thought of that... 

2. Lifestyle Cafe

This was my plan with Ninie. We would open up a cafe for people to hangout or to meet up with old friends. We would make a reading corner which includes Ninie's graphic novels and my story books for people to sit and read while waiting or whatsoever. It would cater to young adults and adults in general. It would be a chill but chic cafe, not like a mamak one.

We would serve pastries and desserts, with nice and well-mannered waiters and waitresses. A lot like Kaoru's Cake House. I think we got the inspiration from that story... So dreamy.

3. Classified Website

This was inspired by kijiji and craigslist, obviously. I spent a lot of time using these websites to search and look for apartments and used stuff. I used it for selling stuff too. It is pretty reliable and somehow, I don't really like the layout of mudah.my. I found it to be so complicated and messy. It should be more organised, more categories and such. Maybe it's just the OCD me talking.

4. Lifestyle Website

This was of course inspired by blogs I have read. It's so rare to find blogs with clean and pretty graphics and layouts from Malaysia. The blogs I love are mostly simple but still provide me with vivid images and photographs, easy navigating options too! I am not a good writer but hey, in the future, it would be nice if I can at least see people that writes decently and creative enough from Malaysia even though it's not me.

 Those are the ideas that I have for now. I'll think of more when I daydream in the future. XD

Laundry

Ever since I came to Canada, doing laundry was my favorite chore.

It is so easy to be done with it. Pop in the clothes in the washing machine and then to the dryer. All I had to do was just push some buttons and fold them after. No standing under the scorching heat = love.

After we moved to our new apartment, not anymore! I thought it would be fine to have coin operated washing machine and dryer but it is not!

I hate doing laundry now. The dryer eats up a lot of my quarters and still did not dry my clothes fully! It doesn't help that I don't use cash and hence, the scarcity of coins.

Now my room is full of damp clothes everywhere. I hung them in the living room, behind my door, behind my closet door, on the pulled out drawers, on the laundry basket, on the chairs, on the floor...

Uhhhhh!

Class

Summer school started two weeks ago.

For now, it is safe to say that I have not fell asleep in class. In fact, I paid real attention and actually took notes! Yeah, I didn't really jot down anything for the past few semesters sometimes.

I am loving my Engineering Economics class. My professor is so funny and scary at the same time. My classmates are very creative people too. The professor has a few rules and one of them is to not be late for class. The excuses people came up with are just so honest and funny.

Prof: Why are you late?!
Student 1: I parked further than I normally park.

Prof: Why are you late?! You are always late for class!
Student 2: No, I was never late.
Prof: Fine. You never know.

Prof: Why are you late?! This is the second time you're late for my class!
Student 3: No, this is my first time...
Prof: Did you tell her to tell me that this is her first time if I were to ask why is she late?

Prof: Why are you late?!
Student 4: I just got into town.
Prof: What do you mean?
Student 4: My plane just landed at 2. I can show you the itinerary if you want.
Prof: No, I don't care about your ticket. Are you telling me you flew here just to take my course? Do you do this every time? This is the newest excuse I've ever heard my entire life.

These people keep me awake in class.
