MoonXCube IV

Okay, so I moved again, this time from the on campus housing(HUB Mall) to off campus somewhere near Windsor Park.The new place is a house with 6 bedrooms. I share the rent with 6 other friends who are also sponsored students from Malaysia.

All furniture are carried from the previous room. XD

The room is slightly larger than the one in HUB Mall. Also, since there are store rooms, in the house, I can finally put away empty boxes from sight.
However, I still do not have a bed frame yet. -.-" I am hoping that someone would give away free bed frame.

Oh yes, I bought a laptop desk. It is a retractable desk that can be moved around easily. I put my laptop on it so that I can put textbooks on my low-table.

Room Type:

Occupying time length:
January 2010 - 2013

Be my lair.

General purpose:

-Added a cupboard for achievements and my history.

I have been living in this new room for a few months and so far, I haven't encounter any major problem except the temperature spikes during the day. That is due to my whole house is warmed up, so it is not an issue of my room.

MoonCube

(I started this blog only after I moved out from this room. I didn't take any good picture of the room. The pictures you can see are those that I remember taking inside the room)

This is my second room which is located in Police Headquarters at Satok, Kuching. It is much smaller compared to my previous room, so our family was planning to move to a new house sooner or later. But still, it is considered as my second permanent home.
In this period, I was also studying at SM Sains Kuching(SAINSKU) and stayed at the school's hostel.

Room type:

Permanent.

Occupying time lingth:
2004-2007

Aim:
-n/a (I just fit my self as long I feel comfortable, ahaha)

Main purpose:
-Enough room for my bed.
-Enough room for my computer desktop.
-Enough room to be the store room for the house.(Essentially, the room is divided into 2 for this purpose)

Status:

Not completed, and since I moved out, this project was abandoned.

Introduction

1) moonxcube.blogspot.com is a child blog of shahrism.blogspot.com.

 2) Prologue: As I keep moving from one place to another, I have to set myself a place to live. For each of those place especially my room, I usually spend an insane amount of time arranging and reordering the furniture, books, hardwares and all other stuffs. But in the end, I'll always have to move out and set for another place. I'll have to dismantle everything from their original place. To not let my effort go to waste, I create this blog to keep what I have done to those rooms.
Expecting myself to move again in the future, I start naming every room that I live in. Upon creating this subblog, it has been the third time I change home. I named the second room MoonCube. For the the current room I'm in (when I write this), I named it MoonXCube, hence the name of this subblog. I like the word 'moon' and 'cube' together. So, I plan to stick with that name in the future.

Mini FAQ:

What is the meaning Temporary/Permanent for Room Type?

A: Permanent is what I refer to Home, where my family also lives there. Temporary is my temporary place to stay for any occasion I have to do(school hostel, college apartment, etc)

So, essentially, you will see that I spend more money to be invested at my permanent room than my temporary room. =)

3) Purpose: History of rooms my customized room I ever live in.

While the content of this blog may be updated more frequently, only the parent blog serve the real function of a BLOG as a 'personal online diary' as mentioned in wikipedia. In my case, it is the non-personal part of my diary of course.
