Thanks to Saturday Night Fry, I now know that one of my favourite ringtones on my last phone (called "Walking Around" on the phone) is really the main theme of the Alla Turca from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11, making this also the first Mozart piece I like. So it goes!
Oh, also: I have a guitar now. Yay me!

Rather ill-advisedly tried to do everything all at once - chill out, tidy room, and backup computer. Just finished backup, room is thirty percent done with no obvious signs of imminent completion, and chill out - ha, ha. And now I own my own television. Good heavens - when did I get so mercenary? Let's see how tomorrow goes; who knows, it might even be worse!

I'm loving this, in case I forgot to mention this before. I stopped just now and looked out from out my two windows, and the view is so splendid it makes my heart ache. My bed is perfect: right length, right height, right width; right degree of softness even, perhaps. My table is going to be at the perfect height beside it. There's ton of space to be used for dunno what, TV or XBox or whatever (after I get rid of my boxes, I guess). There's plenty of wall for posters or signs or whatever. And my wardrobe should fit my books and clothes and whatnot really well. Yay!
Seriously, I am really enjoying this. When I grow up, etc.!
Now: to slowly unpack and organize, to get back on track with life in general and grad school in particular, and to start all the extracurriculars, etc. But for now, to curl up in m bed with a Saramago will be enough for me, kthnx bai. Indeed!
I like being happy. I guess it suits people to be so.

From Tiong Bahru MRT, as it turns out. Seriously, how cool is that? Loving my new smartphone. Yay!

Managed to hit high scores on all three heavy duty activities:
The house hunt ended up quite surreal, with me ending up forty minutes early (as it was rescheduled thirty minutes later than expected five minutes after I found an available cab on Science Park Dr, a feat on par with one of the minor miracles), resulting in me wandering around our somewhat dingy prospective neighborhood. I knew this would be a nice place when, apropos of nothing, my old friend the SBS Transit Bus #33 showed up out of nowhere. My phone was dying, so I kept turning it on every fifteen minutes and pleading with my agent to give me an address, which she boldly - and baldly - refused to do. She turned up ten minutes late, and then drove me the three houses away to where the place was, whence we waited twenty further minutes until the landlord's agent showed up. Then, it turned out that none of the lights were working, although all the airconditioners were; bizarre, yes, but there you go. I viewed the house by candlelight (or, to be precise: the light of four handphones). Tomorrow, Ifty's going to go check it out, and then we'll know.
Either way, the hours until Ifty reports back are going to be somewhat low-key, and - man oh man - if we go for it, all that massive tension will evaporate and be replaced by the tension of work. Ah, the relief of having only one crazy obsessive thing to worry about!

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
