Day 6: Sunday, 29 January 2006

It's a Sunday, a rather depressing Sunday. I didn't mange to cam with my family successfully because of internet connection problems. Now when the problem seems to have eased, it's already too late to ask them back online for a chat.

I think I'm too used to my comfortable life in Singapore. I'm not used to living alone like this. If I were in Singapore, not cooking lunch or dinner will not be a problem whatsoever. Food is available everywhere, at all hours. It's a different story here. I have to learn to cook for nothing more but pure survival. Or at least make a sandwich.

Also, I'm way too used to have everything at my disposal. Broadband internet connection, snacks, drink, TV, and other forms of entertainment. The TV here doesn't work. I've already informed the person-in-charge but nothing seemed to have happened. Maybe with television, I won't be as bored as I am now. It is also too cold for me to venture out too far without feeling the effects. Therefore, all my exploration has been kept to place near where I'm staying, which is to say I haven't seen many interesting things.

It's a good thing I'm going to Church later. That will take up at least one hour of my time, and when I reach back, it would be almost ready to get into bed, snuggle under the blanket and sleep the rest of the day away. And when I wake, it'll be Monday, and I'll have more things to do and see. At the very least, I've never felt bored on a working day before.

And hopefully by weeks' end, I would have made friends and would have found some company to idle these unbearable weekends away.

Here's to better days ahead. Cheers.
