library

10:52 AM
me: would you by any chance know what's the limit for the number of books we can borrow out of the library?
maria: err, NO. i don't go to the library.

me: do you know how many books we can borrow from the library?
owen: no.
me: argh! why doesn't anybody know!
owen: because nobody borrows that many books at a go?

me: can i just ask how many books we're allowed to borrow at a time?
librarian: are you an undergraduate?
me: yea?
she: oh, about 300. *smile*

ARGH. NUS only lets us take out 4! or is it 8! i've never heard of a library that lets you take out 300 hundred books. i think the disincentive to borrowing is the fact that you seriously have to HUNT for books here. they're all tucked away in various nooks and crannies. but it's nice, it is (:

things my mother would never believe of me but will be glad to know.

2:26 AM
1. i eat cashew nuts. i now know how expensive they are and i now know that they taste good. and they have fat content.

2. i wake up everyday from between 6 and 7 to study. on days i sleep past 3 i wake just after 8. after 9 and i am unproductive the whole day.

3. i voluntarily clean. i do the dishes, i sweep and vacuum floors.

4. i fold my clothes after doing laundry.

5. i do not throw my clothes on the floor (i just hang it in a vaguely disorderly way on the bedpost)

6. i can cook. with enough variety to satisfy my appetite.

7. spinach is not that bad after all.

8. fruits ARE good for you. so i eat them.

the most intelligent sentence i heard all day

12:42 AM
'and she was like, you know, like, i don't know...'

people actually talk like this! i'm thinking if you don't know and your friend knows why don't you just ask your friend what she was LIKE.

game theory

1:53 PM
it's everywhere. after a concentrated encounter with game theory (and the professor) over the summer and encountering it in random econ classes everywhere (even anthro classes for that matter, it has now decided to live with me.

doing the dishes, cleaning the toilet, vacuuming the floor, taking out the trash - are all game theoretic scenarios. you know it has to be done, but you don't want to do it. you'd rather someone else do it. then the waiting begins. the dishes are left in the dish washer for someone else to put away, the coffee stain has to be cleaned but by someone else, the kitchen has to be swept but you don't wanna be the one to do it, the dishes pile up in the sink but of course someone else will clean them up.

you wait. until one person breaks.

the floor's been swept, the dishes done, the clean ones put away.
i think i'll vacuum the carpet friday. it's filthy.

deepavali

12:31 AM





2 weeks before deepavali, i thought wth i'm in the states, i shd do something vaguely deepavali-ish but not bother too much. then the week of deepavali it slipped my mind that i had something to celebrate because of horrid horrid exams. but when the weekend hit, it was wonderful.

i am surrounded by such awesome people. prayers, food, the company! and dancing! it was so fun (: and i ATE. i don't think even in singapore i'd have eaten this much. i popped sweet after sweet, practically licked a bowl of some sweet creamy thing clean. and i usually don't even like sweets.

i missed my mum's vadais, though. no one can beat that hahah.

and at first i thought wth, i'll have deepavali with the family again and then i realised that it was essentially the last deepavali in that house! i'll never have another deepavali in 42 grove drive.

i think my mum was terrified that i'd have a sad and lonesome deepavali all by myself in another country. i don't think so. it was SUCH a memorable weekend. i'll definitely remember this deepavali.

and last year's too, of course. (:

good and bad

12:13 PM
so i rant about the double-standardness of indian men.

do you know there are 2 categories of indian women? the good (the ones you marry and bring home to your mothers and will make perfect daughters-in-law as well as deepavali palagaarams) and then you have the bad (the ones you want to date for fun but know that there's no future but what the hell it's fun).

let's talk about the bad. the bad have certain characteristics:

1. wear short skirts and shoulder revealing tops to school
2. put scandalous pictures up on facebook:
a. with other men, albeit platonic.
b. carrying a bottle of beer
c. carrying shot glasses
d. in swimwear
e. pictures of happiness taken in clubs
3. use vulgarities
4. go clubbing
5. drink, talk drunk stories
6. study abroad (india not counted
7. have had more than 1 relationship before 21

i don't think ANY of us are marriageable anymore. tragic.
