Housemates Dynamics

Its very important to have housemates who compliment your personality and tolerate your idiosyncracies. Pohpoh and I realised that after a rude shock with Diana's housemate.

In 32 Pershore Place.co.uk housemate dynamics have been working quite well for the past two weeks. Of course, there can always be room for improvements. Like in a given hypotheitcal situation where Jan can keep in touch with her naval officer commanding habits by ordering a coma-syndrome Hubert to wake up for lectures. That way, he can get into the habit of keeping to the conventional 9 to 5 lifestyle. A win-win situation.

But apart that, my housemates and I have done the following:

1. Mass cookings (mostly done by Rainbow and Jim)
2. Buying IKEA furniture and spending an entire day fixing them
3. Betting on whoever is not at home ( they bet on my return from my L&B late night social, whether I'll be cabbing or walking along the graveyard path - and Hubert won against Jan. No prizes for guessing the correct ans.)
4. Bak Qwa on Hub's rendevous with a certain freshie.
5. Competition on who can successfully wake up Hub

News

Why is it that everytime I hear about little bits and pieces of news from Singapore, it always sounds as if it came out from the New Paper. At this rate, I think I'd be able to make a parody of Singapore news.

I heard about Nathan having to serve a 2nd term by default because the opposing candidate was not eligible. In a bid not to serve a 3rd term, he is campaigning for active participation of all citizens to run for Presidentship in the coming elections - a fat joke. A few months back, there was the NKF scandal and Mrs. Goh Cheok Tong's peanuts. Prior to this was about a racially-abusive scholar and an NUS undergraduate proposing to a classmate in lecture. I'm seeing a mild evolution of the ST becoming the NP.

Back to term time

I moved into my new home about a week ago, haboured a few illegal mainlanders whose houses weren't finished. Cleaned up the dust and bought some wallpaper for a few cracks in the drawer. By today all my housemates are back, they came by one after another. First Hub, then Rainbow and today Janice.

Me and Janice are hanging by MINDEF's noose this academic year, which probably means that more time spent at home and less time outdoors (out of UK borders). This gives me more reason to spend on furniture at IKEA when I get there tomorrow. New bed, new shelf, new chair with wheels, good lighting and a modern sleek couch chair. I decided that if I were to spend my time indoors more often I would need extra comfort, after all, last year I spent my time in a prison cell serving two terms (literally - Cyrfield was a women's prison converted to a dorm when the Uni started in 1958). Then moving to Claycroft didn't make much of a difference because of my noisy trance neighbour. So this year, I would have to recouperate my sanity, again, in comfort.

I am back from the New World and I am currenlty far away in the desolated meadows of Hampshire where my only mode of transport to the city is either by a London cab or by horse. The weather, although slightly warmer than berkeley, is still rather bleak.

Today I will spend the day at the indoor pool and then commence to the dinning area for lunch. Perhaps after tea I will soak myself in the marble bathtub or go clay pigeon shooting.

I will be catching a train to Coventry to set up my new apartment tomorrow.

US Fraternities

These are my Frat members - Beta Epselon Alpha Roe. I collected them from various theme parks and arcade claw machines with PohPoh.

The one thing I learn about America is that its citizens like wearing sweatshirts, especially the bears
