University Level Personal Hygiene

Now it's a generally accepted part of a struggling povo university student lifestyle that your staple food is probably Mi Goreng, the hours you're most alive are actually around midnight, and you probably run on energy drinks so much that your entire bloodstream is actually guarana and caffeine. Never have i thought it to be so extreme that my actual method of brushing my teeth is chewing Wrigley's Active Gum.

In any case, since i last updated not much has really happened other than my poor personal hygiene, in fact, i figured since i sweat so much i didn't need to really take a shower. Just kidding of course, but i don't exactly have a place quite just yet and the motel shower is probably the dodgiest thing ever since one of them has no lock and the other is shared by the 13 other guests, i have to take showers at my friend's studio during the day.

So what can i honestly say i have learnt from my three days so far - that 24 hour convenience stores are a miracle when you are hungry as a university student and i would pay $7 for the last five hour old pie that's salty as sand just to satisfy my hunger. As well, i have learnt that you can find yourself drinking with the strangest bunch of people - a 37 year old German engineer, a 23 year old Singaporean university student and a 26 year old Italian marketer. Oh and of course, i have learnt that red wine is actually not that bad especially when free. Other than this though i have not learnt much else.

It's weird to think that in a few more days, i will be learning again, something that i have not done for months and while i feel like i am willing, i can hear a faint whisper in my mind screaming "nooo!" like one of those Hollywood scenes in the train when the person just discovered some sort of major misfortune to his loved ones. I suppose we shall see when it all happens - i mean everyone across the country will be experiencing the same sort of problems so it should be alright.

Sleeping without a shirt not because it's too hot but so i don't sweat in it so bye.
