London Thus Far

Helloe peeps, reporting from London, United Kingdom. Yes, although it's been the 5th day since my arrival here, and so far I can safely say I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Although the 17 hours journey here was quite an unbearable experience (since I'm not used to taking long distant flight, and will never enjoy it), but coming here was worth it! There's so many things I want to say but I just don't know where to start. Let me see let me see, I think I'll start with my accommodation, my hall of residence.

I'm staying in Connaught Hall (the same sound so homely right, haha), one of the intercollegiate halls in University of London. In case you're wondering whats intercollegiate halls are, they are actually halls of residence administered by UOL (which comprises of LSE, UCL, Imperial College London and Kings College London, and more...), which means they will generally be students coming from all these colleges mentioned. It was a bit difficult to locate my hall initially as it was covered in scaffolding and constructions were going on, god forbid like how would I know my hall would be undergoing refurbishment right. So, me and my aunt's friend, oh he's Uncle Tan fyi, were literally touring around the square until we finally located the right place. It was really kind of him to offer a hand to lead me from the airport to my hall or else i'll be dragging my 40kg worth of weight strolling around tavistock square like some half dead zombie. Really nice man.

Anyway, long story short. My room, yes. All my hall mates were telling me like how big is my room compared to theirs and how tall the ceiling is, not trying to brag whatsoever, but I think I'm really lucky to have such a nice room. The pantry is just right opposite my room and the gents is just right next to it, it's superbly convenient! And the best part is... yes, it's only 5 freaking minutes away to my Uni, 2 minutes if you run. Haha, which sums up to the awesomeness. As far as my hall is concern, it's a pretty decent and cozy place to live in; there's a couple of common rooms, a bar for you to chill in, a garden and some other facilities, and the people here are really friendly. I've been meeting new people constantly for each and every day, and they all come from different nationalities, seriously, it's really quite an experience!

Oh yes, speaking of jet lags, which I'm terribly annoyed by :( I'm still waking up at quite an early hour during the morning, but it's getting better i guess. At least I woke up at 6.30 this morning, for the past few days I've either been waking up at 4 or 5am, which is kinda sad actually.

Ok, I'm getting quite sleepy, actually more like I'm lazy to continue blogging, for now at least. So I think I shall continue tomorrow, or some other day with more stuffs then. =) if there's still anyone reading lul.
