Okay so its been a week since my first post.

Yesterday, Sunday August 27th, Moved into Residence.

Founders College and Residence is the first and Oldest Residence and College on Campus. The Building is 60 years old. Yes, 60.

Looks pretty alright from the outside but the inside walls and stairwells seriously need a huge makeover. My room's okay. Its not that small but its not that big either..compared to what i'm used to at home. haha. But i guess it'll be cosy in the winter. Lets see, i have my own phone, large desk, nice big shelves, a WARDROBE(!!) and Dresser haha(not so bad ah angeline), bed, one puny window(not exactly an airy room, but its all in prep for winter).

I'm staying on a CO-ED floor. Geez. okay i was not really prepared for that. i thought it was an all girls wing..but the initial shock comes and goes. Since the HUGE shock was i'm surrounded by guys. Josh, Arnaud and Walid. Well they're pretty friendly people so i guess it might be a good thing.

After the morning move in, went to Aunty Betty's for Lunch somewhere in Missasauga i think. She's a nice lady..made a wonderful indian themed lunch for us. She reminds me of that short lady with the glasses who designed all the costumes in The Incredibles. After Lunch, went around to shop for more stuff for my room. Oooh and finally we hit Ikea! Eye-kee-ah, as its called here. Not Ee-Kia. Bought a whole lot of cool stuff for the room and then we came back to campus and Mom, aunty suan chin and Jiun Yiing helped me did up the place.


Finally got the internet to work in my room. Ooh that's Monday 28th August already.
Ok, so today was the first day of academic orientation. Peer Advisor's name was Kirsten, sat us down in the courtyard in a circle and told us about Uni life and stuff. THink of the scene in Legally Blonde, where they yeah basically did what we did as i mentioned above. and then came social orientation or FROSH week. It was pretty fun, kinda similar to the most orientations i've attended except that people are way crazier and louder and spunkier and well yeah you get the idea. People here can really holler and whoop at ANYTHING. Pretty cool cheers too, best ones i've heard yet. But i don't really rmb any of them. FU btw!

I think the best part of today was the live comedy show by the Imponderables. They were really good. They were the improv sorta comedy group with all the props and beat box effects. so yeah, i think that was the best part of the day. watching that in the theatre.

In the evening, Mom and Tipak Kaufu, Aunty Suan Chin and Jiun Ruey dropped by with MORE Stuff. A Fridge! A Lava Lamp! More Hangers! A Water Filter Jug! My Internet Cable! So its all good. Thanks so much!

Well have to wake up early tmr Academic Orientation Day 2 so i guess this'll do for today.

Sorry Guys, ABout the pictures, well I still feel my room needs a little more work and tidying up before i'm ready to show it to y'all..lol..be patient, i'll try to upload soon! and i'll sort out the tagboard thing soon too, use that!! or rather post on that!! REGULARLY!!
