The story goes like this...
During exam period, most of us stayed at home to study and didn't go out to eat. So we produced lots of rubbish. It can piled up to many bags of rubbish and no one even bothers to bring them out of the house to throw into the dustbin. Of course I can't stand this situation even if it was just ONE bag full of rubbish.
But I waited. I wanted to see who would take the initial action to throw it. Even when most of them did step out of the house excluding me who has been prisoned in the house for 2 days, no one takes the action. In the end, I gave up. I planned to throw the rubbish after I came back home from exam. Ironically, I saw 2 of my nursing housemates threw the rubbish.
I felt delightful because at least some of them play their roles in maintaining the cleanliness of the house. But at the same time I felt ashamed of myself. Why do I need to wait for others to take the 1st step? Why not me who do it?
My pharmacist roommate and I get along quite well with my nursing housemates but my other roommates which are my coursemates too, don't get along well with them. After they threw the rubbish, they told me, "I think your roommates are not like girls, in fact you behave more like a girl rather than them."
Why do they said so? Usually I clean the house most of the time if you did follow my blog for the previous posts. My nursing housemates know it because they have eyes to see. Although my appearance looks like a boy, but my behaviour is not. I didn't know how to response but I was quite happy to hear it because it indicates that I'm a hygienic and responsible person.
It also shows that I'm a totally different person from my other roommates/coursemates. That's why I can get along well with friends from other streams including my housemates. In fact, I talk more with my pharmacist roommate and nursing housemates. I hardly talk to my room/course mates.
Again it all comes back to the world where I belong. I never like staying with my current coursemates because I know I have a gap with them. I'm so much different from them in terms of thinking, attitudes, behaviours and personality. I really didn't know how I ended up with them. Perhaps we do have some similarities but very little.
A lesson for myself today:
Take the first step.
Don't wait for others.
Forgive and forget.
Do more, expect less.
Be happy and make others happy! ^^

but my nursing housemate mentioned that phrase was bcoz, among all my roommates, I look the coolest (the paling man gal), so they din expect the most manly gal in fact is the one that do the chores which people labelled as being more girlish...
