My room! Unraveled!

People have been bugging me for pictures of my room. Yes, I have my own room. With windows and TV and high-speed internet access. I figured, since I have some time off today, I could just start on that.

There is a mirror on the door of my room. The door creaks a little sometimes. The rocking chair is my storage place for my done laundry (I am required to do my laundry and the kids').


This is my bed. Um, I am not quite used to the quilts and the bedsheets. See the green quilt? It was supposed to be on the shelf, for winter, I think...but I have been feeling so cold at night I just need to use it. The green clothing is a sweat-shirt. I don't know what you would call that in Singapore but anyway, I wear two of those to sleep every night (yes, two sweatshirts and two blankets). And no, my room is supposed to be the warmest during summer (which is now) and hence the coldest during winter (which I wouldn't know how to survive).




Across my bed is the TV set. I think there are a reasonably large number of channels; exactly how many I have no idea though. I try to watch Spanish shows but I end up not understanding like 90% ...gosh. Sometimes, I wonder if I can ever fulfill my dream of being trilingual.


As you will already gather right now, it is somewhat like a paranomic view of my room. Those windows were open all the time until recently, when I realize the wind is actually colder these days. I can use the house phone in addition to my existing mobile line which I have (and don't need to pay).

I work at this table, or rather, I try to. I haven't done much studying because 1) I am never in the mood 2) I don't quite have the time yet. My boyfriend sent my Spanish books over (thanks!) and I am still waiting for my Yoga Anatomy book to come. I keep saying, I will get down to it when I receive the books...but um...Anyway, I have high-speed internet access so that is really great. Else, I can't msn or even blog!



Alongside the table is an armchair which overlooks the streets along the house. The former au pair likes to sit by the arm chair and watch the autumn leaves (well, Autumn is coming in a few weeks). Hopefully I will grow to appreciate it too.

There is another window at the edge of the room. In front of the room is a keyboard which I kind of thought I could start practising on =)




There is a space which opens up into some storage area. For now, I leave the books (there were some books that were already there; not mine) there. I don't have much use of that really. But I put my shoes (dance and normal) on the rack too.




There is a little opening at the side. It opens into my wardrobe (no, it is not a walk-in wardrobe; I wish). There is a little space (where you see the red sleeves hanging out) for me to put my clothes.

My wardrobe. You see the big box below. That is the heater which will be of utmost importance to me in winter (and now, actually since I am always so cold; I just don't think it is necessary yet).
