Procurement is the path to happiness

It was a good day as far as getting lovely new stuff goes.

I headed down to the guitar shops at City Hall to look for a magazine. The magazine wasn’t available, but the proprietor had a MUSE concert poster up in his window. So I just asked offhand if he still needed that poster. He very graciously and carefully peeled it off the window and gave it to me, still in pristine condition. So if you ever need to buy music books, song sheets, or music-related magazines, head to Excelsior/Peninsula basement and look around for a bookshop opposite Gordon’s Toy Store or something like that. The boss is really patient and helpful, and because of his kindness, I have a poster that the concert organiser was selling at a ripoff price of 10 dollars!

Now that I needed more space to display my prize, I reorganised the doggie pictures I bought from Ikea. They’re now displayed on a black mounting board - all the better to display them on, since it delineates the borders more clearly.

I really like the look of my room now, it’s cosy with the candles and lamp, and has a cute/funky vibe to it with the pictures and poster and my anime shitajiki on the closet door. My noticeboard has become a display area for brand tags from the clothes I buy, as well as the wristband from ZoukOut. The magnetic whiteboard is home to Bridget Jones, Spider-Man, and Josh Hartnett, while MUSE and Hoobastank look over me as I type. And through it all, my pink Hidamari nodder keeps on nodding indefatigably.

On the way out, there’s a new addition to the red brick wall. After my Bah! monster poster was removed, I replaced it with another, and I have a new DnD doortag proclaiming my status as vice-head. Haha, kembang sendiri.

The only thing I don’t like about my room right now, and this is a very recent development, is the fact that the sun shines straight in. It never used to be that way, the lush foliage outside was a very effective sunscreen that kept my room deliciously, vampirically dark. Then one day the men came with their screaming chainsaws and hacked away at the limbs of that innocent tree, now denuded of the branches it grew over the years. My room gets horribly warm in the afternoon, and it’s so bright. Bear in mind that the hot season is on its way, and you’ll see why I’m so upset at the loss of my shade provider.

Perhaps the next thing I should procure to improve on my tiny dormitory haven should be thick curtains to block out the sun, or a portable air-conditioning unit. Or I can just leave the fridge door open all day. I foresee an increase in the amount of cold, sugary drinks I will be consuming.

My room is so pretty I feel like throwing a house room-warming party.
