Practicalities of life

Hmm.... just realised (actually it sort of hit me) that my danish delights blog could be linked here thru my profile.... lol.... how clever of me.... blueh

But wat the hell... just wanna write about some stuff..... i'm not exactly in the best of moods now...

Well well.... how should i start.... Ok, let's talk about living in a container. Actually, on a positive note, I'm kinda glad that my container is not the party sort. I know this sounds farnie cos who doesn't want a party container!! I guess there are times when one just wish to have some quiet time after spending a day outside socialising and schooling. So I guess these are times when one wanna have a peace of mind. For this I'm thankful.....

But then again, there are times when u wish your container is sort of wild and happening!! you know.. like every now and then all the pple get together and have a drink, with loud music... basically chilling out.. tt sounds real cool... For instance, I heard that Abel's container is the "party" container.... sounds like a whole lot of fun man! yea.... but sadly my container is not.

2 spaniards, 2 sporeans, 2 PRC, 1 korean, 1 polish and 1 dutch i tink?....... ya all guys except for one.... yea all guys... haha.... i guess it's not called a technical university for nth! anyway.... things were fine from the start... the kitchen was clean.... and the 6 ee pple would always come to my container for meals.... but after 2 wks... I'm beginning to feel that the spanish pple aren't exactly happy that we keep coming here to cook everyday for lunch and dinner.... I guess it looks like we are taking too much time and using up their share of the kitchen... you know wat i mean. And they tend to talk among themselves, spurting out "singa...." in their conversation every now and then... hmmm.... I won't know whether they are talking bad abt us or wat.... but c'mon, y do they keep talking abt us all the time! It gets kinda disturbing ya?

Hmm... anyway the thing's sorta resolved now... cos we no longer cook in my kitchen and I've started to "sweet-talk" them... so we're fine now... phew.....

And.... ya.... the cooking so much stuff for everyone every day is quite tiring as well.... lemmi put it this way, as SY said..... (2-3 hrs to cook for 6 or more people ) X 2... is like 6 hrs of our life everyday.... hmmm.... i mean its really nice to get tog everytime and have our meals tog.... but i guess this presents its own problems as well....

1) many pple means larger portions, means more dishes
2) we only have small pots/pans which means it takes double the amt of time
3) splitting of bills
4) other pple from the container might wanna use the kitchen but doesn't have enought space

I hope I'm not getting too particular but..... well.... this is how i feel..... i don't mind the 6 of us only.... but recently.... erm..... sigh....

Rumours, hear-says..... are really unhealthy at times... esp when u haven't even met the person. I don wanna be biased.... I wanna be nice.....

Load off my chest..... phew!

i know what you mean by cooking for many people. that's why sometimes it's easier to eat separately. so maybe you all can arrange only weekends cook together, weekdays settle yourselves. and sometimes, can go out for dinner also!

like me and merv. every monday go eat fast food. lol. =P
