I need to learn how to cook. It's been almost a week now, and I think it's safe to say that I've spent quite a bit of money on stuff that I could leave without. Actually...I was only referring to the start up cost it took to live here, but that's enough to get me thinking about my cash expenditure. On top of this, I've been reading my econs and accounting, and well...let's say for a commerce student studying about finances, I'm not taking mine into control. Hence, I need to cook. I know the place I'm staying at, is supposed to provide food, but apparently it has been privatized and tonight, they had a function and weren't selling food. Which made me realise that I cannot depend on someone to provide for me basics. Of course, I should have learnt this from Singapore's history, which is probably why they made us study Social Studies back in school.

Marcus taught me how to cook chicken rice, and I know how to cook spaghetti, so Monday's task is to get pots, food, and printing paper to start printing lecture notes. I've barely started some light reading, and people around me think I'm studying too hard. The clock is ticking...does anybody have any idea how fast time is moving? Maybe it feels faster here, because the sun sets at about 8, and when that happens I think it's 6. My daily routine for life starts next week, so I hope that goes well...
