Tomorrow's moving day. I walked past the outside of what's going to be home and it's beeeautiful! A wonderfully green garden (it's green at the moment) sits in the middle and the front of the apartment block looks out onto it. It feels like a very peaceful neightbourhood, and everything's so...pretty.
Back near Goodge St. the guys have gone to play football - about the only thing Junlinn does voluntarily is organise football +lol+ and I'm here, sitting by myself in a rapidly darkening room. My laptop screen is bigger than the t.v. and out of 80 channels there's nothing to watch, depressingly so. Even if there were anything worth paying attention to, the interest fades quickly after having to squint at the screen for five minutes. I think the purchase of a bigger one is somewhere in the works - I think someone cracked and finally agreed to fund the project. +grin+
So far on my schedule for the new term there's one item:
11.00am Introductory lecture to Year 2
At least they didn't start Monday at 9.00am.

Goodmorning
It’s cold and gloomy and I’m the only one up right now. Hsiang was supposed to wake up early too, but I guess him and Junlinn were having a rough Warcraft night. Meanwhile, spy sweeper is fighting what looks like a losing battle against browser hijack. I don’t know what’s going on but I wish that ‘my search bar’ would shrivel up and return to the recesses of internet hell from which it spawned. And take pop-up ads with it too.
Last night I met a friend of a friend of a friend, a wonderfully approachable person, and not once did the conversation turn to Warcraft, waistlines, or football. It was refreshing +lol+. I guess it’s mainly because she’s a girl, not to mention an Imperial Collegian and also from Miri. What a small world indeed – we have a lot of friends in common, and used to hang out at the same places back in Miri – okay fine, so it was quite ulu then and there weren’t all that many hang outs, but it’s funny how we should meet through a couple of UCLians. Pretty cool though.
Okay, I don’t know what else the demonic threads of internet chaos has managed to entangle in the privacy of my own ‘puter, but everything’s loading slower than dial-up, so I’m gonna go watch cartoons.

Wednesday? Huh? Whatday?
Another day draws to a close and everything administrative that I can possibly do so far has been done, thankfully. Just waiting for the keys on Friday to start settling into a place I can finally call my own. Weng's been my rock, and he's really made the past few days bearable.
Dinner was awful tonight. I'm not usually such a bad cook (I think). The pasta didn't come out so much 'al dente' as 'tres soggy', haha, the guys finished everything though. After about three days of living in a predominantly male household, I'm starting to miss being in the company of girls. +lol+
Other than that, absolutely exhausted and looking forward to spending tomorrow with absolutely nothing on the agenda. Probably some repacking in anticipation for Friday, but nothing too stressful. It's only 8.50pm ish but it feels about 1.00am, which would put me roughly on Middle Eastern time... getting there, slowly but surely, four more hour-shifts 'til I'm back on schedule.
Tishen's telling me how much nicer it is out at Weybridge. Haha, he likes his trees and squirrels I think - they're a lot less chaotic than about 15 million people crammed into 1,600 sq. miles. Sometimes it feels like those 15 million people are all on the same street to be honest. Some fresh air this weekend ought to do us a world of good when we go visit him. London smog makes your boogers turn black...er okay, pretend I didn't say that, and um, I don't know anything about boogers or smog. Really. Except that they turn black. Haha. Ew.
