Moving in
Just moved back into hall a few days, and I was pleasantly surprised that my unpacking and clean-up only took around 3 hours, as I vaguely remember the first time I entered hall a year back, it took roughly 3 days. Quite an evident difference.
The initial excitement of having a personal space to call one’s own certainly led to me spending a lot of effort into planning the allocation of items into different areas and especially in the cleaning department. All the drawers, windows, walls, ceiling, and basically every nook and cranny had to be not only dust-free, but wiped with a wet disinfectant cloth. Even pulled down the roughly 5 by 5 m blinds to scrub, such was my thoroughness.
No wonder I incessantly heard comments about my perfectionist nature, I realized thereafter. I went minimalist this time round, doing away with the carpet, air cooler, novels, soft toys, ornaments and whatnot. But of course, the overall cleanliness was not compromised in any way whatsoever. That was the main reason I never considered double-sharing rooms. It is nigh impossible to find another guy that matches my standards. In tidiness and cleanliness, that is.
I guess I have to get used to the concept of having to divide my belongings into my two abodes. It sure is inconvenient to not be able to obtain a certain apparel when I go out from hall just simply because I left it at home. Furthermore, I won’t have the comfort of 2/3 bolsters in which to aid my precious beauty sleep. Troublesome, indeed.
But it’s worth the trouble. It will be. I wish it will. Hopefully.
