I and My Problems

Sometimes I bring it upon myself,
These problems that just plague me,
From the zoiked laptop, to the lost key,
I must have brought it upon me.

I don’t know why I called it on myself,
Neither do I know how,
I just know that we bring these things on,
and I’ve just attracted a whole loadsum…

So what can I do to make it right?
How can I possibly win this fight?
Of I and my problems,
When I don’t know what caused them?

For now it’ll come down to money,
Just for the laptop and the key,
And then there’s just the problem of me,
And the housemates I’ve moved in with recently.

They are nice,
And my body’s quirky,
So the toilet’s another problem with me,
And it’s a problem for them too see…

I’m trying to sort things out one by one,
So hopefully I can solve some,
At the moment, I need some understanding,
And some scheduling,
Then hopefully things will be okay,
And I’ll appreciate the sunny day…

So yeah, I’m at University now, in the K-Labs just not going home yet coz I don’t know when my housemates will be done with their classes, but as I don’t know where my housekeys are, I have to wait a bit, and do some reading (which is good), and go back when I think at least one of them will be home to open the door for me.

***

Anyway, today morning I ran into a problem. Because of my weird internal system, I tend to take a while in the bathroom, I try to keep it under an hour, but it can be a task for me. When I wake up in the morning I have to use the loo and have a bath immediately, that’s the first thing I have to do when leaving my room. I didn’t have a problem with that the last semester coz somehow it worked out that I always used the loo either before or after my housemates were done, so I never disrupted their classschedule being in the loo when they wanted to use it.

Today my class was at 10am, so I woke up at around 7am, but I heard my housemates talking outside the door and I figured that they must be using the toilet and getting ready for class so I waited until about 8.15am when I heard them all quiet down and no one was in the bathroom before using it. I sincerely thought that they were all done already since I heard them talking and all outside for a whole hour before that…. But I ain’t blaming them, Perhaps I should have asked, but it looked like no one was there so I could use the loo and bath and get ready for my 10am class.

When I was done, I found a note on my door saying that I was in the bath too long and they had to leave by 8.45am and didn’t even have time to brush their teeth coz I was in there. *Sigh* I felt really bad about that. I sincerely thought that they were done, like I said… So I must suppose that they like to talk and stuff for an hour before getting ready and using the loo… I don’t know, I don’t like starting my day with conversation before even brushing my teeth, it feels rather icky to me… But I can’t blame them if that’s what they like to do, since they get along fine amongst each other.

Anyway, Ieft them a note each apologizing for the morning fiasco, explaining that my system is screwed thus I tend to take a while in the loo in the morning… It’s really annoying even to me, but if I don’t clear my system and have my bath and all, it sorta ruins my entire day thenafter. So it’s important to me as I know it’s important to others.

I also stated in the letter that they let me know what times they have class on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (My class days) so that I can plan my mornings around that to NOT get in their way… Coz I can always go earlier before everyone wakes up and then with the spare time, leave early and use the Library or something like that. At least I’ll be more productive anyhow, and better still I won’t be in their way… I don’t like to inconvenience people. So I hope that today’s glitch doesn’t happen again really. Hopefully they’ll understand from my letter and just let me know when they’d be getting ready so I can either get ready before or after them.

Come Thursday I’ll have a class at 9am, so I guess to avoid upsetting their getting ready I should just get up at 6am and wash up and all so that they can have it between 7-8.45am when they probably leave for the 9am class should they have one as well… I tend to plan to wash up about 2hours before my class starts coz if I take about an hour freshening up, then I have about 30mins to change and clear my room and pray before I leave the house 30mins before class starts… I can alter that to suit them without a problem,  I just need to know their timing as well…

*sigh* I hope that it won’t be another problem on Thursday. I guess next week Tuesday, I’ll use the bathroom at 7am while they are chatting or at 6.30am so that I won’t be in their way again after 8am…

I still don’t know where the heck my housekey is though I know that I had it with me on Sunday. Monday I left the house without a key, but thank God I had left my roomdoor open anyway, and my housemates were home, so I didn’t need it. But now I have to search my room and locate that key or it’s gonna cost me a bomb to get a replacement.

Already, coz my laptop’s screwed on me, I have to get in touch with the Acer Support Center, and since I don’t have my warranty with me that is also going to cost a bomb… *sigh* But if my laptop’s in good working condition after they’ve dealt with it, I will be very happy anyhow, I just want to try and save all the information out of  my laptop first coz all my photolibrary files are in there and I love them and I don’t want to lose them… *sigh*

Anyway, so missing pieces seem to be a thing that’s just plaguing me through the last week…

Also my housemates yesterday complained that they didn’t like the smell of what I was cooking. I was cooking fish, I guess that’s really my fault coz I forgot to turn the cooker fan on that would suck in the smoke ya know… I’ll try again when I have to cook fish again and not forget the fan and hopefully there won’t be a smell to bother them.

They eat red meat and pork, which I just don’t touch because being a Hindu I can’t eat beef, and pork makes me a lil sick if I eat it, so I avoid that… Other stuff like Lamb and all I just don’t really eat anyhow, though sometimes I do eat mutton, but rarely, and definately not in form like ‘lamb chops’… And apparently my housemates don’t like to eat fish and don’t like the smell of it. But I only eat fish and chicken aside from vegetables, so I don’t know how much of a problem it’s going to be in future. I’ll see within the next month I suppose.

Also I dont like the smell of pork and beef, but it’s like 4 to 1 on that so I ain’t saying anything about it.

It’s just little issues I suppose that need to be dealt with… *sigh* HOpefully I can find middle ground with them and just be happy housemates together coz it’s 4 nice Aussie gals and me, the Malaysian Indian Gal…

But what I really do

n’t like is that if I say a guy is cute, they go up to the guy and ask him to the house to say hi. I know that they are happy to pick guys off the street and bring them to the house, but that’s just not the way I work and not something I wanna do or be done to me. So if they do that again, I will complain. If I do really want to get to know a guy, I’ll do it my way. Coz I don’t want people to get the wrong impression of me just coz of my housemates.

Anyhow… I know I’m just bitching a whole load today coz I just wanna get it out of my screwed up system. 🙂

Take care and be well everyone!

God bless

sincerely
