My Apartment

Joseph: Hey bro it's great to hear from you! I didn't know pple still come to my blog. I must admit it has been pretty stagnant and even when i blog it's quite mundane things about my life. Yea i play the piano and i think no one in london knows. Or should i say i USED to play the piano i'm not like a beginner all over again, after 10 years. Practice hard for your golf, cos we are. looking forward to play with you. Get the sembawang membership la. It's now half price entry, then you can sign me in as guest! hahaha. It's really beautiful to play it here in the UK.

OKIE! Update about my apartment. The place where i stayed at for the past 2 years has been sold, and we were homeless till about 1 week before i returned. At that time, even i, someone who was always confident of finding a place which meets our demands, was starting to get nervous. Thankfully we have zhifeng and xunxing here to help us to meet agents, and to make phone calls etc., and we did find someplace near college, and at the max of our budget.

It's rather expensive, 100pounds per week for a double room, but it includes all utilities (water, hot water, central heating) and licensed TV. It was supposed to include internet (needs another 1 month to set up), landline (no tone). But we did manage to get them to buy us a washing machine (which hasn't arrived.)

it's a cosy (small) place with warm (dim) lighting, with little natural light, so it feels like it's always night. good for sleeping, bad for 9am lectures. we rearranged the whole apartment to make it more conducive for studying and it's much better now.






My bedroom, the bed on the left is Xunxing's who is away in Singapore now and i just washed his bedsheets. So there's nothing there. and the bed on the right is mine! =)














This is the toilet, which is next to my room. It's quite white and clean looking. Our official toilet cleaner is my room mate Xunxing, but he is away in Singapore and we are missing him already. Come back quick the toilet's getting dirty hahaha!












This is the kitchen. It comes equipped with one hot plate, and one not-so-hot plate. It also comes with an oven which helped me set my personal best of 2.5 hours to cook a lump of pork and some parts still were not fully cooked. It has no heater in the kitchen as well, so basically, it's a pretty cool place.







And here is the rearranged living room, with weixin studying hard. Weixin and Edwin are hit really hard by the lack of internet because they are very tech savvy people. It's not a very good picture because it still looks quite messy but it's better than it looks. The table on the right middle of the photo is my corner.








Close up of my corner. I am very happy to have my own study table at last. and a corner for my sports equipment, as you can see on the right. I like my corner. I can also turn the tv and watch it while i eat my breakfast there. hahaha.







So. That's my apartment (less edwin and weixin's room). It looks like this in both day and night, so there's no need to show day/night versions, unlike last year's. I love natural bright light and this place is not very good for my morale. But, i will make do. Okie that's all for now!
