A still-view of my room @ 9 April 2012 11.00pm. Monday night. I'm at the 28th of 29 weeks doing my practical at Altera Corporation. Final visit from the supervisor's this Friday the 13th and thus the work on the screen and the 'diary' on the table. To remind me what I need to do. A new thing, the diary. Not used to it at all but I need it because I can't remember all the things that I need to get done and my phone is too tedious to type on. Also, I need a place to write down my circumference progressions and how much I have and am willing to spend on future supplements hah. There are the birthday 'red packets' all over the table and in the box so that I don't have to withdraw from the atm (when I get cashless).
Over on the left side of the shelf is the eye lubricant because my right eye still gets very dry due to sports and mother injury. My two graphic design books, one sitting on top of another flatter graphic design book. I now have three of them, all by Page One. My scrolls are rolled up against the wall. There in front of the printer is the Men's Health Malaysia magazine which is unbelievably engrossing. My Buffalo HDD is in its case there but I hardly even use it now, and I don't know why it's at that forefront place.
Sitting diagonally behind me is a pile miscellaneous books and magazines and newspapers. The four books on top I got using the 1M book vouchers not long ago, the stack of magazines are from the PFS library courtesy of my mum. NatGeo and can't-remember-what. I like NatGeo. Somewhat. There's the James Herriot book about his 'Yorkshire Tales' which my mum swears by, but is (unsurprisingly) uncompelling. At least not compelling enough. The newspaper pullout above all is the Star Rev pullout containing the prices of new cars of all the models sold in Malaysia. That 'yes' brochure is the 4G internet thing I inquired about, as I think it's time I got myself an internet connection in my hostel. Finally there's the MAXX gloves with wrist support that I just recently bought. (I displaced my ligament in my right wrist and I was told (with great despair) not to lift for at least a 4 week period to let it rest and heal). Gone already my mid-year goal of having an 18-inch circumference.
Also, there was The Edge newspaper from yesterday sitting on top of the whole stack of what-reads but I just took them downstairs. Am quite disappointed with the Edge as they seem to (in broad daylight) neglect Penang in their publishing. Again, no surprise.
Till the next snapshot of my life in the free world..
Happy Easter
