Permalink: https://escapist5.blogspot.com/2006/09/what-defines-your-life.htmlLife is without a meaning until someone comes along to lend it meaning.
I've found her. Last week, we celebrated our one-month-old relationship. I know this sounds lame but she means everything to me. I just can't imagine how I managed to spend my first four months here without her!
But, every relationship has its ups and downs - you just don't know how long it will go on. Finding a balance that will maintain the relationship is more delicate a business than flying a kite - hold her too loose and she'll slip away; hold her too tight and she'll, well, still somehow slip away. That, frankly, is what I fear the most.
A few days back, she suddenly became cranky - whenever I typed the letter "b", it refused to appear.
Fearing the worse, I thought the keyoard(sic) was going gaga due to the fact that the laptop - often eing(sic) left switched on overnight for illegal downloading - has decided to reel(sic).
Holy Christ! How can she just do this to me! Not longer than a month and our relationship is starting to fall apart! No! That's too cruel!
But, just like every couple, we made up sooner than you can say "forget-about-her-and-go-find-another-girl". Hah! That afternoon, everything became alright again! That's when I realised how important my Toshiba Dynabook CX/875LS is to me. She defines my life - I can't live without her.
Come to think of it, life in this 3m x 4m room is no better than being confined in a sealed-off chamber; or having a crappy commercial jingle playing indefinitely in your head. In either case, you just feel like cracking your head open.
Now I know why the study table (together with the book shelf) is bigger than the bed. That's how the evil people who designed this room want us to define our lives: spend more time on the study table than in the bed, you lazy bum!
Geez, you @#$?! You're going to hell!
Uh, sorry. I got off from the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Anyway, I was trying to say that most people here in the dorm define their lives by studying, especially the V-mese (not mentioning the nationality lest I get charged for discrimination). Heck, those book-muching zombies... They study more than they sleep!
Me: I notice that you prefer to buy bento's nowadays. Not cooking anymore?
V-mese: No time. Have to study.
Me: Didn't you go anywhere during the holidays?
V-mese: No. Was studying.
Me: Huh? You just woke up?
V-mese: 'Cos I studied till very late last night.
Study. Study. Study. Crikey!
And there's one V-mese who lifts off his mattress and sleeps by covering the wooden planks beneath with the futon. "It's too hot," he explained. But, here's what I heard from a sempai from Osaka.
Curiously, it seems that the V-mese in Osaka do that too - so that they don't fall asleep in the middle of their studies!
Phew!
What defines your life? Studies?
Heck, get away from me, you zombie!
