Feel like i'm back in London again. It's cloudy, drizzling (not raining) consistently. It's been like this for the past few days. Very gloomy and sad weather. And BIG CHILLY GUSTS OF WIND!!!!!! Plus my clothes can't dry! Have to hang them up on my room and switch on the heater. My room then became a sauna.
Oh well, had potluck last saturday. Turned out quite successful. Had 2 different groups of friends - Jason (Used to be Roy's friend - but became ours later), he brought along 2 hostel friends, Aaron from China and Yinyin from M'sia. And of cuz our seniors- Liting, Yinghua and Simon and Mingyan. It was all homecooked food.
Simon & Mingyan - fried rice, mixed vege (how did they get xia mi(shrimps)?!?!) and baked salmon
Liting & Yinghua - Bai Zan Ji (White broiled chicken) with a very very yummy dark soy sauce with chilli padi!
Us (without Roy, obviously)- pear & chicken soup, black pepper beef with capsicum and choc chip muffins!
Food was good!!!! The international students loved the food cuz it was home cooked and reminded them of home. Apparently, hostel food is catered and it sucks. Lol. Heard from them they have to queue early to get food, if not, all you get are scraps and the rotten fruits. Poor thing.
Went house hopping after potluck! We went to our seniors' house then proceeded to union college where the hostel is. The hostel is a very conducive place to study. Looks like a cabin to me though. Like those train cabins? Yup, exactly like that. By the way, the toilets/bathrooms are shared! Yes. Unisex toilets. Plus the bathroom door is like frosted glass and the door is not high enough to cover the shower room. So if a tall angmoh (actually no need to be tall, just be above 1.75cm) walks pass, good luck to you. Yin yin says that it's better to bathe in the last room where it's next to the wall and have to hang your towel over the door, if not you'll give a free show. Thank God i dun stay in the hostel.
Oh well, they say the people there can be very noisy at times. When i went there to visit, some people gathered into this guy's room to watch movie, there was angmoh drinking alcohol/red wine (heard that they drink every night). It's normal. And when it's the public holiday like last wednesday, people were already making alot of noise at 7am. Usually, they party when the weekends come, they dun start on friday nights, they start partying on thursday nights. That's uni life right?
Hurhur, not for me. I'm a good student. I revise my work everyday. I'm becoming such a nerd. I dun do this in when i was in poly. What's happening to me?! I visit the library at least 3 times a week. Well, today i have already visited the library twice. And it's not the middle of the week yet! However! I'm gonna have my mid term test coming up in 1 1/2 weeks time. And after that - i'm free to go for the RiverFestival! Wheee! Heard that the fireworks are gonna be long - like 1/2 an hour! Aussie people are very rich. No worries about that. The festival last for 10 days from 31 Aug to 9 Sept. Wonder if the fireworks are gonna be that long every night......????
K... i have to go study now....
