I have a new flatmate! Finally! It's about time someone got here, though I actually quite like it here on my own. That's because I know how noisy it's going to become once everybody else moves in tomorrow afternoon. The floors creak when you walk or so much as move, the doors slam loudly and there are four doors you've to get through to leave the house, and the rooms aren't sound proof. All these was how I found out about the new girl.
While I was showering, I heard doors slaming close by and the floorboards creaking. At first, I thought they were just the repairmen who were doing renovations on the building. However, when I returned to my room later, there was audible murmuring next door. I'm no longer alone! When the next door open, I took the chance to meet my new flatmate. She's Tanzeel, an Indian girl from London doing dentistry. I'm glad to say she's really nice and friendly. We're gonna get along just fine! :) She left for home just now to attend a wedding though and will only be back on Tuesday, so I'm all alone again but it's okay by me.
Oh, here are a few photos of the university, for those of you who haven't seen it yet.
It's recognised by that tall tower, which is part of the main building. And below's the Wolfson Medical School Building, which is right next to it. Probably the only modern building in the entire campus!
Here's how a typical shopping street in the city centre looks like on a weekday morning. It's not as crowded as Orchard Road, though on certain roads, it can get pretty similar.
So, today was a relaxed day! I didn't sign up for the international orientation, which Rachel did, so while she was attending talks for the day, I was free! Thus, my mum and I decided to get all the groceries we need and try cooking in the hall. That reminded me that I haven't given you guys a look of the kitchen. Well, here it is.
I know it looks quite small here but there's still space behind the camera where a small round table is. That white thing on the left is the fridge, which is quite small considering that five of us will be sharing it. But we'll manage. Did you know that the drumstick and thigh of a chicken is not very popular here in the UK? Because I didn't. Singaporeans love that part! Apparently, people here prefer the breast meat. Hmm... Funny. Anyway, that was to our advantage because it meant that they're cheaper! :) Here's what my mum and I had for dinner. Not bad, if I say so myself!
Before I end this post, here are a few more pictures of flowers but these are really really pretty! Aunty Susan, you're gonna love this!
Bright fuchsia gerberas! My favourite flower! They're so pretty they look fake! Don't worry, I checked. They're real :)
Hope they brightened up your day like they did mine!
