I'm HERE!!

hello gang!!! haha...i really appreciate the calendar ok...very thoughtful indeed. and no, i didn't cheat at all :) it's tucked into my luggage now, safe and snug until the 27th of september :) right anot.

so guess where i am!! i am in nottingham already. in the library using the computer for the first time! i'm an international student ok. like walaoeh.

have already registered with the health centre here. took a jab for immunisation against meningitis c this morning. everything has been ok. i am well.

miss you guys lah. i hope all is well.

the food here's been not bad. i had fish and potatoes. and they have ketchup and brown sauce (which is bbq sauce i say). i had mushrooms this morning too.

i've been trying to get my applications through but because of the horrendously long queues i have strategised to queue up early before the doors open.

i miss home and all. but it's ok. i'm smiley here too. communication is really advanced. it costs, they say, £60 for a year's subscription to broadband in the room. so it's cheaper than that in singapore.

i've already met very exotic people here. 1 nigerian 1 dominican republican 2 koreans (i told them about korean drama and wonbin and all that very funny) 1 indian (eh don't say anything) 1 cambodian chinese, lots of singaporeans and malaysians of course. and also many prc students too. so quite the cool.

i think theft is rather rampant here in nottingham so i am rather paranoid about my belongings. especially my documents and money. i take them to the toilet even when the toilet's just outside the temporary room that i'm staying at now. basically i keep them with me all the time.

how's school been? i hope it's been ok.

all right i hope this has been a nice surprise! hehheh. hope to use the internet soon. then i can tell you all more stuff. have loads to share. have to go and grab some lunch before taking a trip with everyone down to beeston, which is the nearest little town from the university.

take care and gimme a smile. come on.
