Namaste Readers,
My other 2 roomies are brothers, and they go to the same University as Roomie K. Roomie L is a 3rd year studying a major similar to Computer Science. He's thinking of switching to Geology. He appears introverted around Roomie K and me; he's also a gamer, who likes to read Wikipedia articles and had read Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood, which he lent me ( I'm currently reading it and it's awesome as per usual ).
Roomie J is a 1st year studying Business Administration ( similar to Roomie K ). He's shy around me because I'm considered a "foreigner." He plays with a Rubik's cube. The brothers are mostly chatty with each other when there's no one around. When the rest of the roomies are present, however, they follow the courtesy rule being mindful of their noise level. A room full of people can be silent with only the sounds of keyboard and mouse clicking, a little snickering from Animes watched ( listened to via headphone ), and muffled cough from the air-conditioned coldness.
Sometimes I find the silence odd ( being accustomed to chit-chat with people in the vicinity or having background noise ). I have to remind myself about the culture ( I find myself drifting from ). It's difficult so I turn on the TV with MTV Asia or V ( another music video channel ) playing.
