Just did my laundry today and there's a new sign put up. I do wonder who put them up. Some very humorous person. Well, I'm pretty sure they were not really meant to be funny, but they just turn out to be. I don't rmb the exact words of the last one, but sth like "Hey guys, this is NOT your extra wardrobe space, so please take your clothes!!" (ppl tend to wash their stuff and forget about them. dried or not. and they get stuffed into the shelves that we have here. the laundry room isn't v big too. maybe i shld post a pic some day..)
The one put up now says "Hey guys it's time now to remove your stuff our of the laundry again. It has gotten a bit full and smelly thanks." LOL. mind you, it IS smelly. I think it's like washed clothes that were forgotten and left to dry in a heap squashed into one of the shelf boxes. OR it could be that some people enjoy shoving shoes into the washer. rah. and my room is right outside the laundry room.. haha
There was one on the fridge last sem as well. Forgot if it's still there (runs to check), nope not there anymore. That was sth along the lines of "The deepest and darkest realm of hell is reserved for people who steal others' food, so don't fucking do it!" ha. the food was returned tho. i know that story. shan't elaborate here tho.
Alright enough with the signs. While waiting for my clothes to be washed, shall blog about the incident at dinner. So today as usual, the international students stayed on at the dining hall till pretty late. and we were pretty much the last ones left there. We usually take our time and stay to chat even after our meals..
So we sat pretty near the outside of glenn. And there are windows there. It's usually really dark at dinner time so u don't get to see stuff outside. While we were chatting away, suddenly there was a "clang" sound and when I turned I saw glass shards on the floor and a hole in the window. Qimin, who was just to my left, was the nearest and she said she felt a piece of glass gently scrape her leg. (she's thankful for thick skin, i quote) Well, nobody was hurt. And we didn't manage to find the stone (presumed to be one), guessed it bounced off while managing to crack the glass.. someone said they saw a person dressed in white make a run for it. *shrugs*
So there're a few theories. One. Racists. We're after all an entire table of 20-odd internationals... what better time to protest. but they must've really observed us cos.. I don't really think u can see us clearly from the outside.. but I could be wrong.
Two. Anti-glenn ppl from other colleges. Just for fun. Just being stupid. why not?
Three. Sabotage of open day that is to happen on Sunday. Ruin any property and whatever to just spoil the great facade they put up on sunday? i don't know.
Speaking of which, brunch will be 9-11am this sunday at the bistro instead of dining hall (and it used to go till 12?) because of the open day. And we're advised to keep our room doors closed at all times and look out for visitors wandering around on their own and get them into a grp. Just beware of ur stuff and surroundings (: The laundry room will be a sight to behold, I reckon. Cos i don't think that sign is gonna change very much. :P Not especially if the owners of those clothes are perhaps home for the weekends. oops.
