It's been ages since i last blogged and that's because i haven't internet access in my room but now i do!! yay! It's been a tremendously long 3 weeks plus since i've been back...enough time to settle into a house, move out, find another place and move in and make lots of new friends and learn how to cook more yummy dishes and make kimchi from yongseo's korean housewife friend who married a british. I think being a korean housewife is not easy. They have to always cook loads of darn good food and keep the house clean and they never say no to their husbands or children..they always give in.
Su yeung and martin invited us over for lunch on sunday and I was amazed at the amount of food she piled on the table for lunch but yongseo said it's normal because she is a korean housewife..and after playing badminton with martin and her damn pretty daughter hana, we returned inside the kitchen to find 2 huge plates of sandwiches and biscuits and salad and chips for tea. omg. omg. omg. Super pig out day. We couldn't eat dinner after all that food! Oh and their house is actually in zone 4 so we took a bus to golders green which is zone 3 and surprisingly near our houses and then we walked through this very very very beautiful park which had a creek running parallel to the narrow path we were walking on. The trees bended down above the path and it felt like such a fairytale setting with the greenery and the sound of water gently trickling...i was half expecting to catch a glimpse of a fairy. Really felt like we were in the countryside even though we were still in london.
Anyway, i really like my new place now. I feel a lot more independent and free and my housemates are pretty nice and they are hardly in. Landlord is also very nice and even comes in 3 times a week to clean the house..with my cheap rent..i couldn't ask for more. It's also a lot more convenient to get around because i have the jubilee line juz 5mins away and lots of buses that head to central area..i can get to oxford street in 12mins by tube and sch in half an hour including walking time..yay! There are many thrift shops and cheap minimarts in this area too plus a big sainsburys and my neighbourhood is very safe so i've got a good deal. The first 2 weeks back was quite mad and crazy but now i can just relax and focus on sch. So no, i don't feel like i'm missing out just because i'm not sharing a flat with singaporeans.
Sch officially started today with macro lecture and since classes haven't started, this week is pretty slack for me. Just need to get all my new textbooks and get into the momentum of studying again..feeling quite rusty though.
All I know Is everything is not as it's sold but the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow
