29 May - Fellowship of the Ring (Day 131)

Finally I had the luxury of sleeping until 10am. And after a week of hot weather, it started to rain again in the morning. In fact, it had rained the entire day, all the way till night. The weather was back to normal again, as predicted by Mr. Giant. I tried installing the pirated antivirus software which I brought along because the original version which I had, had expired. I can only install the pirated one after I had uninstalled the old version. However, after uninstalling the old one, the new one still failed to install and hence now I had no antivirus on my PC. Damn. I remember I once “scolded” Alsa for not having an antivirus on her PC while fixing her computer because it is fatal to do so; esp. when connected to the school network. Now I am stuck with the same situation. Hope that the IRISA network is safe.

I had bread and canned tuna for lunch. This canned tuna was my last canned food brought from SG. In fact, I had finished everything I brought from SG, the food, the shampoo, body foam, toothpaste, Milo, etc. The afternoon was spent watching LOTR 1 which was my 4th time watching it. And it took me the 4th time to get less excited. This shows how good the film is. I also had my room cleaned up which took quite some time as I had not clean it since 3 weeks ago. Busy over the past few weekends. As it was the last Sunday of May, I began planning the activities for June. Last 18 days. I also did some calculations on how much I had spent since Day 1 till now. I had spent almost 3000 euros, which is about 6600 SGD. And I have saved about 900 euros, which is around 2000 SGD. However, this computation I kept on my excel sheet doesn’t tally with what I have in my bank. I still have one more month of allowance but I guess a bulk of that would be spent in Germany.

The remaining days in the office would be quite boring and slack. And I feel a bit of complacency settling in me as I wait my days out. It seems like the old self of me is coming back. I guess I have to constantly remind myself that since now I have changed quite a bit, I shouldn’t let loose and return to my previous self. I should maintain my good form here and carry it on to SG…
