As sweet as home

2nd August 2010

So, what's about the date? Well, I just moved to another unit which is 4 times higher than my previous unit on the 3rd floor. Moving into my friend's place who is also from Miri. I was really happy that time and I felt very excited. Partly because I got to stay with someone whom I know and share the same belief as me though we only know each other here in the university. But most importantly, I can finally inhale fresh air which I was deprived of for that 7 months in my old, sultry room. Leaving the room closed for just half a day gave me that sort of queasy feeling of unease. Most often than not, I chose to be outside in the living room or paved my way to the library to finish up my work. I just didn't feel like staying at home.
*This is the story of the room in the midday.

I recalled the first day when I moved into the room in January this year. I 'donated' my blood on that 'bloody' night. And this went on for 2 days. Throughout those nights, all I did was scratching here and there as both my hands and legs were bitten by mosquitoes! These uninvited guests entered my room through the open windows and all that I wanted was the flow of fresh air and not the scourge of inane mosquitoes! Since then, I didn't open the windows at all. The whirring sound of the ceiling fan annoyed me but I had no idea how to fix it. At least, the fan functioned well enough to 'cool' my humid room.
*This is the story of the room in the night.

Now that I am in a new home, I feel so much comfortable here. This place is like a family home to me. Because my friend's dad is staying with us, my friend and I cook more frequently. I learn a lot from her and we help each other in many ways not just in the kitchen but in building our relationship as friends and church mates. One time I got sick and she told her dad about it. In the morning after I woke up, I saw a box of Chinese medicines on the table outside. Then, my eyes were glued on the piece of note attached to it: 'Michelle, are you feeling better? See if this can help.' Underneath these words, there's an arrow pointing downwards to the box of medicine. I knew it was written by her dad. I felt so touched because they cared for me even though I'm just someone who aren't their family members. The funny thing about her dad was when he told me the one and only house rule. 'NO BOY FRIEND'. I told him I don't have one. But he said, "Soon..." =S
And my friend asked, "Brother le?"
"Brother can..." =D
I felt so happy when I heard that.=)
My wish for them is that they will live happily and staying healthy always even though they are far apart from the rest of the family members who are residing in Miri, my friend's mom and brother.
I'm just so glad to stay with them and this place is just as sweet as home.
God bless everyone in the house! ^^

Free day!!!

It was just another good day
with bright, scorching hot sun that filled the air
as Qi and Michie walked down the road slope
passing by the guards who stood gallantly
right beside the guardhouse through the alley
I felt my heart was flying high, really
'cause I can finally play
to the fullest today
on our way to the university
safely guided by Him, Qi and Michie reached
all thanks be to God =)
Qi entered the exam hall with fame
while I wandered around the place with shame
time passed by without I realized
Qi came out from the hall on cloud nine
"Yay!" I shouted deep inside
and off we went for lunch
a treat to all the good work done.

It was just another good day
with bright, scorching hot sun that filled the air.

Good nights!
