Got home from TOFU about an hour ago. TOFU was fine. Wanted to blog about it. But I guess I will leave it for the TOFU blog. Instead when I got home, I discovered that my room was ravaged by rainwater again! I'm pretty upset now.
Once again, all my CDs were drenched, this time none of them were spared. Saving grace is that I removed a large number of my CDs from their jewel cases and placed them into a CD carrier case. So this time, the damage is limited to mostly my jewel cases. Still, that is the part that hurts, now, a lot of my expensive imported jazz CDs have become soaked. And their liner notes all destroyed. Now those are not cheap.
Furthermore, all the boxes that I bought from Ikea on Monday were also destroyed, that's $40 down the drain (literally). I guess parts of the boxes like the lid and all can be salvaged, but still would have to make another trip there to buy more boxes. I guess when I go to school on Monday to work on my thesis I will pop by Ikea again.
Besides that, there was a huge puddle of water under my bed. My mom spent the last hour mopping it up. My sofa was half soaked; nothing I can do about that except let it dry out. Now the furniture in my room has been rearranged to let parts of the floor dry out. Parquet flooring absorbs water, and when you wipe it dry, the water beneath the tiles just seep back out again. Very upsetting.
There is a weird smell in my room as well. It's the smell of wet paper and wet wood. Would probably take a few hours to clear.
What a way to spend the week. After coming home from AnnTiC, life for me has been quite lousy. After spending a week drying out CDs and DVDs, they get drenched again; and worse than the last time. My back is starting to hurt a little after the hard exertions from TOFU. But I guess that's life; sometimes it goes well, and suddenly it can just become chaotic.
I don't really feel like talking to anyone right now. So if I don't reply your SMSes, emails, MSM messages, please forgive me. I'm rather pissed; and I'm ranting to try feel better.
This coming week is packed. Christmas week. Never celebrated a happy Christmas for 10 years, it always brings back quite painful and lonely memories. I thought this Christmas would be different, but I guess it would be no different. Won't be playing for carolling this year. Which is quite a relief actually, want to spend time with my extended family this year.
Will be at White Sands and Century Square to lend support to the carolers though. That at last I can do. But I won't play, let others have the limelight; they deserve it.
Chronicles of Narnia are coming out this week as well. Good book to read, the storyline is simple and nothing new to us; its simply the Gospel storyline told using different analogies. Brilliant! Will catch it on Wednesday after the carolling perhaps; will watch it alone as usual. This time, I think I really want to be alone.
