For the first time ever, I am NOT glad to receive a text from Mr Redz informing me that there is a deadline extension for our final project (due Monday). I would have preferred to have it over and done with this weekend so I won't have to go back to college for another week or meet other.... acquaintances.
Ahh..!
My latest project is trying to refurnish my room. I'll probably do it when I have time the next 2 months. It's about time I moved back. So I was thinking maybe if my room looked better, I'd actually want to sleep in there. But here's the real problem: I can sleep alone, yes. I can sleep in the dark, yes. But sleeping alone AND in the dark? Hell no. I can only handle one situation at a time. Sadly, my father remains unsympathetic. At times like these, I wish I have a sibling to share a room with. I really like bunk beds... but they are useless when there's only one of you.
Drew a plan of my room on CAD and trying to rearrange everything I have inside. And I realise, I hate the shape of my room! It limits.... the placement of my furnitures. Especially the bed. I can't put it this way or that so it just sits in the middle of my room (taking up majority of the space), and I'm forced to work around it. Also, the colors of some furnitures don't match. I'm not sure if Dad would consider that a reasonable excuse to let me get new ones.
Plan A - I am considering getting a smaller, kid-sized bed <--- that is how desperate I am. Just so I can stuff my bed in a corner. Or a sofa-bed. Its kinda funny to think that the main concern for my bedroom is not my bed, but rather how many bookshelves I can fit in.
Plan B - Or maybe I can get a loft bed. That would give me more space for my desk and (additional) bookshelves (The current one is bursting with books, they're practically on the floor) and tell Dad to take off the ceiling fan if he's so worried I'll accidentally behead myself. I can do with a stand-fan.
Plan C - Get one of those Ikea beds with built-in shelving and storage underneath. But they cost a bomb and I won't have anything left to buy my new bookshelf which, admittedly, I need more than a new bed right now.
Plan D - Seal off the toilet door. It really IS in the way. Every time I want to shift something, I have to bear in mind to keep a clear path from my door to the toilet. If I seal it off, I can also keep the occasional creepy-crawlies out. Ugh.
Plan E - What am I doing refurnishing my room when I an planning to move to Singapore after finishing Uni? In a weird way, I do think that I try not to leave any lasting.... impressions because I'm worried I'll get too comfortable to think about leaving.
Talk of birthdays and me asking Lyd to bake me strawberry shortcake, it was then I realise a quarter of my life has nearly come to pass. And I still haven't done anything in my to-do list. I'm afraid.
