what staying in hall has taught me

Definition Hall
a hostel with lotsa activities.

Today I was just reflecting on what I've gathered along the way during my stay here in hall... this is roughly what crossed my mind:

1. I learnt how to wash my clothes using the washing machine (courtesy of Yan Ying and Li Shan)
2. I learnt how to eat food that's not fantastic and convince myself that it's quite ok
3. I learnt how to eat very little or simply no rice (courtesy of Ching Yin and Pearl)
4. I learnt how to get rid of a small lizard (absolutely horrifying experience since I hate/detest/loath/abhor/you-get-the-idea lizards)
5. I learnt how to get rid of beetles (courtesy of Pin Xiu)
6. I realised that I can survive with lousy toilets as long as there's hot water
7. I realised that I drink alot of water... like more than 2.5 litres a day
8. I realised that I love fruits
9. I realised that Old Chang Kee and New Zealand Ice Cream are dangerous forces
10. I realised that I love swimming more than running, although I do still like running
11. My eyebag and dark eyerings are becoming more obvious... seems linearly distributed witht the amount of time I spend in hall... (but may be cos of NUS rather than hall)
12. And... it taught me independence and how important my family is to me.
