What am I doing!?

The clock is ticking and with each sound of a tick, the day is coming to an end. Within each period of my time in the facebook and then with my book, I also spent few of my time doing other activities that keeps me occupied and away from stress.

Music is the top priority of entertainment and with facebook, my entertainment is doubled. There is not an hour that I didn't listen to the music of my choice- Dzongkha, English, Hindi. I prefer Rigsar and the recent Dzongkha songs. They are simply melodious that keeps me emotionally attached and sympathetically affixed. With English, I like pop songs, the really fast and the slow sentimental musics. About hindi, it is random, I like them all-old or new, it does not really matter to me.

With each passing day of listening to musics and facebooking, Pasta one of my favorite meal keeps me fresh and alive. I know most of my friends are surprised and I guess even fed up of hearing me say, 'Pasta' for most of the time. But there is no other meal that satisfies me the most. Potato has been my favorite too. So the mixture of Pasta, Potatoes and lemon just makes my day a wonderful one- full and happy. I sound like a kid now. So being in the kitchen is another reason to stay away from computer or from typing my work.

Another day, another new schedules to follow.The Halloween fever again. We didn't have any plan than to stay at home and stare at our computer as usual. But the last minute decision of going to the club made our night an amazing one. The place was filled with crazy party people--some dancing, some drunk, some couple kissing and some busy doing their work in the counter. The main Halloween event was yet to come but still, the ghostly figure near the entrance scared the hell out of us.It was indeed a refreshing night.

One of the craziest thing I recently did was cutting off my front hair. I don't know what my friends felt about it but I was totally out of my way of what other people might think about. Good or bad hairstyle, I will still be me. But we know, how this world works, we can't help commenting on others, including myself.







So here it is, I have cut my own hair- a fringe that will apparently make me look like "You are not Yeshi anymore" type.

Have you ever wondered or thought about like "How our hairstyle can describe people's personality and then accordingly, our appearance changes- from ugly to beautiful and from beautiful to ugly?"

The Recess Week

Every one of us likes holidays and if granted, we would want to have one year holiday. After going to University for about nine weeks, 10th week was a Recess Week for the semester.

Our first two days was a very lazy day staying idly at home. The weather was quite rainy and cold that made us even more lazier to go out of the apartment. Holidays are either treating us real good or making us feel sleepy and bored.

But who has no plans on holidays? Boys were going to meet Bhutanese fellow mates studying in another University in Armidale. They have to travel eight or nine hours approximately from Wollongong.

As for girls, we weren’t ready to travel so far so we decided to go to Sydney which is just one and a half hour train from Wollongong. We went to Opera house and Darling Harbour, the most popular sightseeing scene in Sydney. And not to forget, the girls are fond of shopping and we don’t mind walking around doing the window shopping- It is fun and more fun when we are buying it.

Yes, we had another group of girls going to Canberra. They must have had funs too and so did we see their pictures already uploaded in the facebook after few days. The blooming flowers, the museums and The Parliament House.

As of us, it was a one day travel unlike our boys who stayed for 3 days in Armidale and the other group of girls who stayed for 2 nights in Canberra.

It is difficult to have a proper gathering during holidays because all of us want to visit different places and then the group is automatically divided where the groups visit the desired places.

So now, here we are back to Wollongong from Sydney.

Our rest of the days were spent eating, watching movies, facebooking and gossiping. We were surprised of how we were spending our time at home and then later on, we were feeling good that we were having a good time together. For a refresh, we went to the beach which was nearby our place and we also got to attend the birthday event at one of our Bhutanese families place. The day all the girls from the different group were present at the party and we had a great deal of time gossiping and laughing that filled the silent rooms and moreover, cuddling the little birthday boy who smiled throughout the photo snapping session with each of us.

As everyday is not Sunday and now that our recess is already to come to an end, we felt that urge of extending our holidays. Our mood were swinging from smiling to one another as if like reminding that holiday is coming to an end. It is a usual schedule and the normal thing to tell to friends, “Aaah, I wish we had another week of holidays” which is not going to happen anyways. But Thank God, Monday is Holiday too. It was a Labour Day in Australia, officially the only Government Holiday in Australia.

So, we were happy that we had Monday as holiday after Sunday. Like a kid, we cuddled ourselves into the blanket and prepared ourselves for the next class.

The week was fun but with every free hours here, Bhutan is and was always missed.

A short Conversation

The days are getting busier and you are just so messed up with overloads of works. Then there is part of you wanting to study and finish off the work on time. But there is also another part of you wishing if you were free to move around the space among other girls and boys in the coffee shop. Breathe in fresh air with contentment and just relax. Seriously,you don't need a friend to fight with and you can battle on with yourself; You versus your instincts. All you want is get out of the studying room and create a space for entertainment and you are so close to doing it.

The thought of having fun becomes your first priority when you know that it is not going to yield you anything perfect but deep within, you feel the satisfaction that you did something you wanted to and it feels great. Whatever you are to experience next should be wisely and honestly dealt with.

Okie! You are in the middle of no where stuck between you and your thought; either go home or go to the grocery shop. After few minutes, You meet up with a friend after a month or so and greets you happily.

The same old story begins:
Friend: Hey! how are you? I never see you. Is everything alright? how is the session going? Wanna go to drink coffee or anything you want to.

Me: GREAT! Just done with the class and M going home.[should I be going ?] How about you?

Friend: oh! I have a class again.

Me+friend: oh,Ok! i will see you around again. Good Luck! C-ya [Disperse]

And I won't see her for another 3 or 4 weeks and there she will appear again...continues.... No big deal..no coffee, no tea, no other talk. But friends are friends. They say and offer them to come with us but we seem to be passive and ignoring the company of others and denying the conversation of going for a coffee also.

Honestly! I am dumbstruck sitting on the chair doing nothing but write this note. I should have moved my arse from this lazy chair and gone to drink a coffee. Aaarrrghhh! half of my day is over but I am glad I watched movie in the library only while other people couldn't stop staring at me. I felt weird but I had no choice than to continue my cartoon movie, FernGully!

In the Library

No individual stays idle or bored since the brain continues to work through thinking, imagining and wondering what do to next. With the advanced technology, most people spent their days with with computers but who acknowledges what is happening inside the head of a person and simultaneously with the computer s/he is staring at. Each one of us participate either in profit or non profit activities. Some are studying while some are just reading.

It was right after my 2nd class that I decided to go to the library where student spent their quality time in doing their assignments. It is not compulsory to do so. Library is not just for studying because as long as we get the computer, it’s on our hand to click and enter any website we want to visit during our free hours.

Library is huge and so is the number of students in the university. Sometimes, we get the seats with just one blink of an eye and sometimes, our eyes get tired by searching for the computer and we will have to walk and do two or three round about to get a seat. So today, I did one round inside of the library looking for a computer and hoping to get one without doing another round. This has become the daily routine of everyone of us looking, searching and hoping to get a computer.

Finally, after wondering for five to ten minutes, I got a seat nearby a man. He was busy scrolling up the lecture notes and w exchanged a friendly and a fake smile while my thought was wondering to open and update my face book homepage. No sooner did I sit on my chair, I clicked to face book eager to see the notifications and comment on the status. As I was going through the updates and pictures of my friends, another guy sat on the empty chair and a computer next to me. Naturally, my head turned right, I smiled and then I was back to my work in the face book. He was a total Asian geek with the headphones in his ear and then started to face book. His computer is not so far, I believe it was in Chinese version.

Here I am, sitting in the middle of two guys, one Muslim and the other, Asian Geek. The former one started to snore as in he was busy sleeping trying to balance his bend head as and when his head nodded towards the south. I was laughing from inside and thinking he should leave home if he is that sleeping to sleep in the library in front of other students. But anyways, strangers are strangers and people here really don’t bother despite being in the same University. Anyhow, my face book account is already closed but the latter guy who was face booking started to play with his phones and then left off suddenly.

Sigh! Both of them left the computer and the chair is now empty waiting for other students to occupy the space. I remained calm on my chair and I started to think about our daily life; we are neither busy nor are we bored. In one way or the other, people are engaged in doing some activities just like the guy who slept in the process of reading the notes and then walking off to somewhere and the other, who kept busy surfing the net and leaving off to nowhere again. Similarly, my face book account is closed determined to do the next work or I may stay idle but this is the rare case. We are idle but thinking and imagining never leaves us behind and instead keeps us occupied and entertained.
