21st of Oct

  • Panpan and I were both late this morning, but still he gotta wait for me for another 30 minutes>.>
  • He gave back my red no lens glasses 
  • Even though I skipped this last lecture in this sem, I didn't do much in the library within that 1 hour because I had a really bad stomach right after I logged on the computer...Then I spent more than 20 minutes in the toilet
  • After I came back, it was nearly 11. My friend Michelle asked me to go to meet her up at the entrance of the library to get that 200 bucks 
  • After I got it back, she followed me up to level three as she gotta wait for her friend til 12
  • During that one hour, we were sitting together watching a Japanese Band's electronic dance videos
  • I told her that I would have much more leisure time at the end of this month, so she can give me more essays to write
  • I was also waiting for Vicky who asked me to go and visit that international house in the campus together
  • Then I led Michelle to that building and went to look for international house with Vicky
  • It seems like every access was closed, you can't get in without an ID or something. So I actually knocked on the door to get someone's attention and to open the door for us
  • We got in, that guy asked us to go to the office
  • That old guy let us to have free meals in the canteen
  • We looked around, wanted to ask someone to tour us around 
  • Everyone seems to know each other quite well in there. There was this girl sitting at the same table with us and she just randomly talked to a Norwegian girl next to her who's also having lunch there
  • So Vicky was brave enough to ask that girl to walk us around. She then introduced a few of her guy friends to us
  • Two guys voluntarily walked us around
  • The facilities there seem so well-equipped. The little room resembles a study room with 7 or 8 tables inside; a laundry with more than 10 washing machines and dryers requiring scheduled time to use; a large canteen with large quantity food supplies; a piano room that can block the noises outside; a student meeting room for social gathering; a medium sized gym; another small room serves as a mini cinema room for a group of people to watch films; a large room for entertaining purposes and multicultural exchanges functions, there is a corner for performance, two pool tables are situated at the centre, they told us they would have a gathering to promote cultural value by exchanging the ideas of cultural differences weekly
  • They also hold so many different activities weekly, maybe that's why everyone here knows each other. 
  • Then those two guys introduced us to their friends. One of the girls thought I was also the resident next sem, in fact, I was just going there with Vicky to visit her new place lol 
  • They told us they are allowed to bring the visitors other than the residents there, so Vicky said she would invite me to every event held in international house from now on, and then those two guys' friends also said they can invite me to go watch horror films next time
  • Later on, those two guys showed us their rooms, we followed them to walk up to level 2 and 3. People's names and nationalities are labelled on the door and I was amazed that I finally found a place that is gathered with different nationalities for the first time. This is one of the dream places I always want to go. There are more than 30 to 40 rooms at the male's side in level 2 yet there is no one from the same country. International house, indeed, really international, it's named as it is
  • Anyways those two guys' rooms are quite messy. We did ask if we should stay outside and wait for them to clean their rooms first...
  • Guys are guys....I saw stickers, posters, books, clothes were all spreading across one of the guys' rooms, lucky I didn't spot any sexual related stuff or else I had no guarantee I wouldn't laugh at him
  • Another guy's room is much better, but this patriotic person has a national flag on his wall, I just found it quite odd...
  • So that was a really good experience visiting such a place, my dream place to live. 
  • After that, Vicky thanked for my company by shouting me a froyo. We shared a big cup of green tee flavour, I wanted to ask that guy to add as much toppings as he could, Vicky then stopped me since she thought that would be too much for two of us to finish them
  • We then talked a lot about degrees and jobs. Well....as I am getting to know her, I just realized that she's one of those musically talented people from what she told me, such as two or three instruments have reached the professional level
  • Talented people are everywhere... 
  • Anyways, Vicky and I headed to the main library and study after that
  • Yes...After been having too much fun from that little journey in the international house, it's time to get back to the reality...That assignment would be due at night and I only started doing it after 4pm lol
  • I didn't get to finish it til 11pm
  • And I didn't go to sleep right after I finished that assignment...Why? because this is how I am...I felt that I needed to have some time to relax myself after a few hours of hard work
  • So when there was someone I haven't talked to for a long time greeted me online, I talked to him for another one or two hours...
  • And I finally watched the film 'Young style', which is one of the most charming films of its kind because it has reminded me of my high school life. Its theme is in favor of relaxed spontaneity, teen crushes and those hilarious schoolboy friendships. But most importantly is that the film truthfully portrays the protagonist's coming of age under his growing acceptance of his mother's expectations, his puppy love and that one year of torture from a teacher's tough love
  • To conclude...People who are extremely rich or well-connected still play a big role in today's society..
