new housemate smokes

Study study study

And to think I can walk out of my room to get some air. NOT! The whole place smells like cigarrettes now. The living room, the kitchen, the toilet!! It's confirmed. New housemate smokes. Evangeline has confirmed that I am not being paranoid!! Only place that smells alright is my room. But soon, the smell will diffuse into my room. From high concentration to low concentration ma..... I think I should cellotape my door or something, stuff towels at the bottom.

*sigh* Why do I have such sensitive nose? The smell is very strong and distinct to me. I don't like it at all. When I walk out from my room, I try to breathe minimally. The smell just makes me feel like throwing up, dizzy and uneasy. This is pretty depressing. No, I am not over-reacting. I shall be suffering from second hand smoking for the next two months. I can't wait to get out of here now. Ohh man!! My lifespan have definitely been cut short. It actually makes me really upset/depressed/helpless and.......... i'm tearing now. That's how bad I feel towards this. urghhhh..... Never have I thought I would be living with a smoker, even just temporary. I'm ok with people smoking, I do have friends who smokes, but as long as I'm not around when they smoke, it's all good. Getting into a smoker's car is also alright. Sure there is the smell but it's just for a lil while. But waking up, walking out of the room and smell ciggies to start my day????? Not pleasant, not pleasant at all.

My body is already suffering from unhealthy diet due to my excess eating in sweet stuff, high sodium intake, simple sugars, cheesy stuff, high calorie but low in nutrient food, fatty food, lack of vegetables ... I do not want it to suffer more from second hand smoking. It's already suffering from the pollution in air and the occasional second hand smoke along the streets when I couldn't hold my breath in time when they exhale. And now, add on this housemate who smokes, my lifespan is definitely even shorter! Ask me to just change my diet to compensate it? Forget it! It's like asking a smoker to stop smoking or even worst. Besides, I am starting to eat a wee bit healthier now. Eating more veges, fruits and drinking more water to cleanse the body coz mummy ain't here to take care of me. And taking a nutrition paper this semester makes me watch my diet a wee bit more. But still, I know it's not enough since I still eat all the pastas and cheesy sauces.

Two more months. Two more months and I'm out of here. From now on, it looks like I'll be eating and studying in my room. I'll be spending less time in the living room and kitchen. The apartment isn't my territory anymore. It isn't my home. I only have my room now to call home now.

This is just part of lifeI guess. Only two months. Only two months. I can go through it. Will just look at it as part of life. One of life's lesson - Learning to be more flexible and living with different kinds of people.

More importantly, spray it in her presence to show my unhappiness. Lolxx! My daddy can be quite cheeky :p but smart!!! Time for shopping this wknd then. Haha!! Charcoal and spray.

SEE!! That's why I regretted picking up that packet of cigarrettes and gave it back to that stupid smoker last year!!

BWAhahahaha.. ok, that was random.

Anyways, yeah is it even allowed to smoke in the apartment? Maybe you should get someone to translate the whole document or talk to the management of the apartment or talk to that girl or guy. OH btw is that person hot? Nice person? Friendly? From where? omg.. why am I even checking out that person.

Ohk, tutalu.. I'm goin study. exams is driving me nuts as u can see.

mmm.. yea.. check la.. i think sometimes indoors not meant to smoke leh.. should have rules against it.. if your other housemate also don like.. then it's kinda 2 vs 1? just compromise kua..
