clear the clutter

it's official. my room has no more space. food, books, clothes. no more space. i just spent 2 hours making it neater. it has helped. but not entirely. it's still full. i need a bigger closet. i need more storage space.

i walked into martin's room just a few days ago. and i thought he got robbed. seriously. his room is practically empty compared to mine. no wonder he got a shock too when he walked into mine. wahaha.

i think the worst bit of homesickness is over. hopefully so. the symptoms are always the same. feel lonely, slightly depressed, don't know what to do, feel like going home, miss the food, have strange dreams. yes, that was the week before last and maybe last week. it was a bad time. but this week, i'm quite happy.

room's comfy, i'm doing my school work, found a usual hangout (hotpot beside dorm...so good food at reasonable prices), settled in with a usual group of friends (miki and martin...thank god for them), making plans for travel and post-beijing. i'm doing all right basically.

i think webcamming with darian (we webcammed for 9 hours once...madness but very fun. haha.) and skypeing with seb (his webcame spoiled and he simply refuses to fix it) helps a lot. it gives me the dose of my best friends that i need, but at the same time i'm learning to love this place and making new friends.

seb and i were doing some of those facebook quizzes one night. and shockingly, he actually knows me very well (i know him very well but i assumed that i was simply perceptive...wahaha). we could practically fill in each other's answers. i think that's remarkable. when someone can read u like a book and still accept u for all your flaws, that's friendship worth pursuing.

gym count since i landed in beijing: 28. i'm aiming for 80. that would make my membership quite worth it.
