greetings
aight. I know I'm a bit late. Have been attempting to settle in nicely and stop bumming and throwing stuff around. BUT obviously not quite happening. Although my room is impressively neat. (I just bought hangers to neaten up my wardrobe!) Oh, and I wanted to write an email and mass send it to everyone, but I have yet to figure out how to use the phone so yea, just be patient.
Hmm. It's currently 11:24pm now. (7 Hours behind singapore time) Weather: cold and drizzle and very dry yet windy. Mood: banana. Went down to Oxford this afternoon. As in, the city of Oxford where the 39 colleges that are under Oxford university are in. Sweet place. Really nice and cosy. But possibly a tad too many cafes. And terribly expensive stuff. (I can't imagine living in London.) Let me just give you, my avid readers, an example. Red bull. That stewpid canned drink you get that makes you grow wings. Yea. It costs about S$1+++. But here, it's 1.95 fucking pounds. Which translates into almost S$6?????? yea. Ok, granted, I was in a cafe, BUT STILL!!! Isnt it a bit toooooo steep? Well anyway,in general, the price tags here are the same as those you see in singapore, but instead of the sing dollar sign, you get the pound dollar sign. Aye. Which mean everything is mutiplied by 3. It's really insane I tell you. I mean, I used to ignore stuff like 50cents worth of difference, but now, 50 pence is like S$1.50. Omg. Ok shuddup. In due time I will get used to it. And in due time I'll be pretty broke. (My roomie just got home..)
Ok anyway, I saw the oxford buildings and whatever. yea. great views. that's about it. could hardly hear the tour guide. oh well.
But the shopping. IT WAS AMAZING. Well, I mean window shopping. I didnt buy anything except a box of party poopers and a S$1.50 balloon that has stars on it. HahHAHa. OH. And there's a puzzles, games and magic shop somewhere in there. AND IT"S FREAKING COOL. I would have bought something if only the people I was with weren't so un-interested. OH WELL. I'll go back soon. Heh. (Oh, and they sell mahjong sets at 40pounds cheapest. SOMEONE SEND ONE OVER!!!!!!!)
Ok. It's about bedtime. I'll stop here. I'll send an email soon, with my address and hopefully my room number. Don't bother messaging me these few days cos I dumbly forgot to bring my handphone charger. I'm having it speed posted over so yea. Oh and mint, I cant receive any of the mms you sent me for some reason. Think my gprs is not activated. Good lord. K bye.
cheers,
the nene who is quite deprived of happsening people.
