My Grey World : (not) Sleeping Beauty

*rant starts*

Here I am, blogging at 2.50 AM, because I was woken up abruptly.

I was sleeping peacefully until about 30 minutes from now.

And you wonder why I didn’t just go back to sleep directly.

The problem is…. I have trouble sleeping. Since God knows when (even before I moved to Singapore you know). It’s already hard to get asleep. I can lie on my bed for 1 hour plus, not being able to sleep. And it frustrates me, and thus it makes me even more difficult to sleep. Repeat the cycle.

So why was I woken up?

My housemate wanted to use the toilet, which is located between my room and her room. The toilet also has a door that leads directly to my room (but not to her room). Since there is such door, sometimes I go back to my room directly, forgetting to open the lock of the main door (that’s between my room and her room).

Today I did the same. Or maybe it was my boyfriend who forgot to open the lock. I dunno. Doesn’t matter. In any case, she knocked at my door rapidly and called out my name. Coz unfortunately, my room’s door is locked. So she virtually has no access to the toilet. She knocked and knocked and knocked and called out my name. So I was woken up. I ignored it. Too weak to get up anyway. Actually at that point of time I didn’t know that she wanted to use the toilet. She usually knocks at my door for various purposes. Including asking for new songs/games and random visits. Well the point is, I ignored it.

But she continued.

So I lazily got up from bed and opened the door. Turns out she wanted to use the toilet. Fine, I thought. I went to the toilet and opened the door from inside. Went back to room and quickly tried to get asleep again (which failed).

You know what the bigger problem is?

She actually just wanted to take a leak.

And you know what the even bigger problem is?

There are 2 more toilets at this home. One of which is always openly available coz it’s located outside, unlike the other two that’s connected directly to a room. (the other toilet is inside the master bedroom)

Maybe she has something in our shared bathroom that is required to make her urinating better.

Oh.
Do you know what the very basic problem is?
We’re not supposed to share this bathroom.
I paid $20 more than my fellows in another room as big as mine because it has a bathroom attached.
And she actually has a “personal” bathroom. It’s a small bathroom at the back. She has a back door that can lead to it. But she refused to use it, claiming that it’s too small and stuff. (maybe she doesn’t want to be considered as a maid)
Sooooooo she asked me to use my bathroom. Notice the usage of my. She said it’s between my room and her room anyway. And she wanted to keep the lights on every night coz she’s afraid of going into the dark bathroom at night. My door to the bathroom is just a simple sliding plastic door, so yes it brightens my room a lot when the bathroom light is on.

I don’t know when I’m going to sleep again. I hope pzizz works.
