Where's the Mood?

My lab work is finished! Not entirely, but 90% finished is considered finished in my dictionary. Like many other lifeless and no-life post-grad students, we start to write. Actually, writing should have been done parallel to all our lab work, but some students i.e. Ivy always wants it her own way: START WRITING ONLY WHEN YOU'RE IN THE 'MOOD'.

The MOOD in my personal dictionary:
The MOOD = isolate yourself from mankind and their evil deeds, find a plug, sit down, plug in your laptop, flex your fingers and massage your eyes with your hands, and start typing.
The cardinal rule: BIG NO NOs to these distractions and anti-Mood:
1. Internet modem that leads to Facebook-ing & excessive IM and emailing:

2. Swimming pools because pools always remind me that I've got teaching to do!
Wan sik kan-nan!

3. Sofas and cuddly pillows
4. TiVi (with obama? hahahhaa) and Cleo mags

5. No contact with BFFs (esp. the person 3rd from the left :P )

Actually, IN SHORT: just say NO to Ivy's comfy crib:

But YES to these:

1. Mamee Monster perisa ayam.


2. And some slight motivation: A pin-up poster of Josh while writing.


Any suggestions for a getaway (min. 2 weeks) that allows me to have The Mood and write w/o distractions???
