fact file part 1

---

To change focus from this boring blog..thought we'd give you an insight on how delightfully we're getting along with each other.. i think we also need an outlet to vent!

this is a fact file about my travel buddy pritz..

mm..better not say too much otherwise i might not have a travel buddy for the rest of the trip..

1) she gets extremely stressed out for anything and everything...times things to the last second..eg: when we're changing trains..

2) obsessive compulisive disorder for cleaning...eg: cleaning her white havianas with a miniscual toothbrush..thus the bathroom remains out of order for a good half hour..

3) vanity is one of her weaknesses..complains about microscopic blemishes around the T-zone area..mmm.. weight seems to be occasionally on the agenda aswell..

4) her obsession to clean and moisturise the soles of her feet night and day..

5) elicits gag reflex when her hands are dry..has an asthmatic-like dependency for moisturiser..

6) dictates what I should type..mm

ok, living with ush for the past 3 weeks hasnt always been easy either. she has a few slightly, shall we call it... "annoying habits". few eg's below

1. she gets fixated on little words/phrases and repeats them non stop until im ready to almost choke her 8eg. i think she would have said "mind the gap" about 6 million times) . this is especially irritating when we're in the middle of a 13 hour train ride, and ush cannot get to sleep

2. very bloody indecisive... if i wasnt there, nothing would get done


3. quite forgetfull - nickname of "dory" will ensue from now on (almost forgot our swiss chocolate just 2mins ago)

4. can be very difficult to wake in the mornings... does not wake to anything softer than a demolition truck

5. tosses and turns like crazy in bed at all times of the night

6. needs dictation due to her own lack of coherence and articulation

I think that's quite enough for the moment..will continue in part 2..

might think about listing some good points about each other later...that is if we still remain friends =)..

we're really not getting along all that badly..we just like to be completely honest with each other..'i know i wouldn't travel with anyone else' says priya although I'm doubful of mutual feelings towards my companion..
