the cure

living with someone you hardly know is complicated. to tell you the truth, i had all sorts of problem when i first came to RIT. i was destined to be in the same room with Hawa, a girl i just happened to know because she was my classmate back in INTEC. she's nice. but the thing is i never had a 'friendly' conversation with her. we talked when there were things to be talked about. i was a bit nervous at first. i thought i was not gonna make it. i mean, to get along with her.

i know we're cute. thanks. erk

first year - i didn't know her and she didn't know me. not that much. but i guess we made efforts to get to know each other better. she wasn't that talkative compared to me. and if i say i was NEVER annoyed with anything she's ever done, that would be a lie. and i knew she was annoyed with me either. she could be ignorant sometimes. and i hate ignorance. so yeah...but later we both started to understand each other better. much much better. it's enough said and done, i guess. we survived the first year!

second year - we lived in Riverknoll, our so-called small-but-enough-to-fit-20-people apartment! it was lovely. and we had thousands of irreplaceable memories. i started to rely on her. and we had a lot of girl talks. we changed stories and opinions. let alone the gossips!! hahaha but!! i had this one attitude which i love the most - kurang rajin. not malas okay folks. just i wasn't in the mood to cook for most of the time. i prefer to be the husband and she's the wife. say i went to the market and did the groceries and she cooked and take care of the house and kids. erk we haven't had any kids so far but we'll see how it goes. mind the craps. but once i was high, or say in the mood for cooking or baking, i'll do it lah. it's kinda hard, really. but i did catch up! yeay me.

present - i still feel bad about this but! i LOVE my attitude. maybe i should change it. i hate when i become all sluggish, and turn my lovely but OLD apartment into something i couldn't recognize and i barely can see the floor *exaggerating*. but i do the cook! and the dish. and taking out the garbage as well! but i leave the toilet part to her and i'll do the kitchen. hihi well, yeah. Hawa loves cooking. but i can't let her cook for us all the time. what would she think about me. and that would be UNFAIR enough for her. we live under the same roof. so i should not be that....selfish by letting her do all the works (sounds sooooo office girl thingy. yikes!). what i like the most about us is that...we've understand each other much much much muchhh better. what happened in the house, stays in the house.

am so grateful to have such a roommate. and we don't wanna add any other kepala cos dealing with many many heads makes us pening (for a long term roomies-relationship. i know theres no such thing as roomies-relationship. but whatever.). i mean...i'm used to live with just the two of us. i'm comfortable with this. and i hate adapting.

whatever it is, love your roommate(s) with the best that you can. don't RUN if you got into fight (with them). face it and deal with it. most important is to be understanding and responsible to what you are entitled to. do your part. and be FAIR.

fair enough. i love my roommate. and nicer is, she won't even read this post. *sigh*

what do you think about your roommate(s)? ask yourself.

got works to do.

later!!
