I have been busy since 730pm. BTW, now it is 1010pm over here. This is what i did.
730pm. Fried chicken wings and fish
800pm. Cooked fish finger and crab sticks and rice
830pm. Dinner
900pm. Mopped the floor and stove. Oily from the frying
930pm.Shower
945pm. Ironing my clothes that i have washed over the weekend while watching tv
Looks like some household chores by some typical auntie. Thank you, every weekend i morph into some auntie and god damn it, the food that i prepared today was quite horrid. Plus all the oil. I dun believe i can't master cooking when i am adult armed with a Bachelor degree ( as if there is any connection between the two)
Well, at least there is beer beside me as i blogged about my life. See living alone in a foreign land is not as glam as you all think man! Yes, i enjoy staying alone for now, the independence, the drinking parties in my apartment, but i dun think i enjoy the cleaning part of it. For the very least, i have conquered clearing those food waste stucked in the sink. Still got all the hair that i caught by the bathtub hole. Till now, i still have to use toilet paper to dig it out (Disgusting!)
My friends have this idea that i am no longer homesick as i have expressed my desire to extend my stay last week. Yes, it is true that i am not that homesick as my first week in Lithuania, but i still feel homesick as well. I miss orh lua, my friends and most importantly my family as well. My family called me yesterday and my mom commented that i have been in Lithuania for one month exactly. I agreed and said "oh, yah very fast hor". My mom didn't reply to my comment. It struck me that probably my mom doesn;t agree with me that time passes very fast in my absence. She is probably worried sick about her dear son living 9000km away from here all the time.
And when i was on my way back to the mall, i saw a mother and her kid walking to the mall. Out of a sudden, i felt a bit homesick. As independent as i am, i feel the urge to go back to Singapore and go shopping with my mom like what i have seen in the mall.
Today was also the day where Kenji, my junior in university flies to Japan for his exchange programme. Lucky him! Japan is nice, though i have not been there before. Well, Japan is in Asia and much closer to Singapore at least! Weilong told me Germaine cried. I guess it is normal, a few months is not that short and having your loved one away from you is not easy. But no one cried on my departure! i am sooo envious heck lah! But on the other hand, i feel better as well. When u are single, you dun have to worry about your other half and let him or her worry about you as well. Just like now. I have less one person to miss and lead my carefree life, not bad to see things in a different perspective.
Looking forward to my pay day on Friday!
