so more about my life. see right i've been doing quite a lot of things but at this leisurely pace. went to beeston for dinner yesterday. it's this eatery called the beeston charcoal grill. and they have kebabs there. it's really nice to eat. quite expensive if you convert the currency and all that. i had lamb shish, which is served with rice.

and now i'm at the library in the jubilee campus. the jubilee campus is really the business campus. there are 3 halls here. melton, southwell and newark. melton is the one with most of the post-graduates. i've met many people already. i was sitting beside a russian girl this morning for breakfast, i went to beeston with a thai girl called pa. pa is doing medicine too. and typing away in chinese characters beside me now is miko. she's from china but did 2 years in uk already. we sang many songs last night, on the long walk back. it was all good fun.

anyhow the library at the jubilee campus is really state-of-the-art. it's smallish but really cool. i like it very much. in fact, i like jubilee campus very much. there's a lake just next to the atrium, which is the place we have meals, and there're ducks and swans here. very pretty. when i get the connection on my laptop soon i'll upload the photos ok. haha.

i'm trying to acclimatise quickly here and right now, it's not too cold so i'm just walking out in baggy track pants and a t-shirt with the big blue sweater with lots of lines. you know you know? i'm even in slippers. so when winter comes, i will be more used to the cold.

i've also learnt how to say 'tree' and 'very cold' in thai, lots of other words in cantonese. i think 'how are you?' in urdu, which is the pakistani national language sounds something like 'heel ma keel'. there's another fellow law student at jubilee campus too. his name is sandeep, he's from sri lanka.

how exotic right. and this is barely the beginning! haha.

freshers fayre (pronounced as fair) is the counterpart of orientation in singapore. it will kick off from tomorrow onwards. the thing with this is that there is no compulsory activity for students to take part in. the element of independence is prevalent. it runs a greater risk of a smaller crowd at an event, but the good thing is that people who want to be there to watch/do something are those who really want it.

all right, will tell more interesting things next post ok. i'll get into the characters here. that'll be quite funny lah huh hehheh.
