8.14am on a Monday morning. Do not have to go to school anymore! Yay!! Haha...but it is sorta bad too, because I'll just sit at home and basically rot the whole day and stuff myself with food. Still, I like the feeling of not having to go anywhere if I don't want to. The ground is covered in snow, thanks to 1-2 days of snow...and you all know I'm not such a big fan of snow (not once December ends, anyway)..ok, I'll have to go do grocery shopping later, but I'm only going after noon. Why? Weeeeeell, some idiots decided to play "destroy the letterboxes" again. I don't think it's personal, cos it's always different ones which get damaged, but I hate it cos I worry about my mail...and I'm due to receive some stuff in the course of the week (if it didn't already come on Saturday and get stolen by the vandals). This is at least the second time...could've been more, but I try to suppress unhappy memories. Oh blah...I wonder why people have to destroy other people's property...what on earth is the logic in that? Especially things belonging to people whom you've never met and who've never done you any wrong. Man...

So anyway, I will have to wait till the postman comes, in case I get any book/parcel deliveries...because if the Hausmeister doesn't repair the letterbox by then, someone might steal the notice and collect it from the post office "on my behalf". I am not very happy that they don't check your ID most of the time...I mean then if I got my hands on someone else's delivery notice, I could go collect it and no one would check! And that person wouldn't know that he never got it!

Am desperately trying to finish reading my stuff for the Anglistik Zwischenprüfung now. Spent yesterday reading a Grammar of Singapore English, edited by Lisa Lim. It is so detailed man...and what the hell is "Voice Onset Time"? I think I'm pissed off cos I know so little...I feel desperately inadequate. But it's really interesting to read...apart from some weird terms and crazy diagrams, which I don't understand. I'm kinda behind schedule though. I planned to finish reading it yesterday, but I'm only halfway through...well, at least it's interesting! :D Have to be optimistic! I'm just worried that I won't remember what I've read...which will be such a pity, cos it's such interesting information!

Cooked chicken rice yesterday...man, I love the smell...it reminds me of home! The rice was kinda gooey, but it still tasted fine!

I found some bugs or baby cockroaches in my room yesterday. Ugh!! I killed as many as I could, but most of them got away! Man, I am gonna KILL them if I ever see anymore...I HATE the idea of a cockroach-infested room and if it means being cruel to cockroaches, I'll do it.

Ok, back to work!
