After no small amount of crazy packing and frantic rushing with some surprise/shock from BA, I'm finally halfway across the world, in a place with different sockets, different accents and pretty much different landscape. Very thankful that there's lixiang to share the cold and hard floor with me with our clothes or bags as pillows. So these few days she was pretty much leading me to places getting my furniture and foodstuffs. Ironically, the chinese provisions at Chinatown were cheaper than my staples at the nearest supermarket (maybe I should eat lesser -__-).

My room is still lacking a bed but I'm pretty proud of the room already!! We cleaned up the room, shifted the table and shelves which I bought from the previous tenant, bought some drawers, rubbish bin and a chair and it looked pretty much like a room already (albeit more like a study room than a bedroom). I have got loads of foodstuffs in my room (the kitchen cabinets are VERY filled). Hoping to clear these foodstuffs (into the kitchen and not to my stomach) ASAP, but will require my two very-absent housemates. The rubbish bins are full but I have no idea at all where to empty the house bins. Oh wells! My jaws dropped when I first entered the house - there were just so MANY shoes! There's probably about 40 pairs near the door and in the dining room? Okay, make that 50. I couldn't find a place to put my shoes, so I shall leave them in my room. I think I'm not jet lagging much anymore, I just accumulated quite a sleep debt.

My jaws dropped again at the supermarket. There were so MANY choices! Its pretty overwhelming when you go to the supermarket the morning after you arrived, hungry for breakfast and you see near to a hundred different breads - raisin, potato, dark wheat and whatnots. I think we were looking rather lost (or maybe just me), so this guy helped us along and said "I like potato, its good!" We spent a lot of our time carrying stuff, straining our muscles and feeling so tired we just dropped onto our bed, I mean, floor.

I have got two korean housemates, probably by chance. The last housemate isn't here yet. The house is very well furnished - the kitchen looks like a well-stocked kitchen, the dining room looks like a dining room and the living room looks like a living guest room. It's so well stocked, there's 2 extra and extra huge mirrors lying around, on top of at least 5 hanging on the walls; there's 3 vacuum cleaners the last I counted and there's 2 or 3 coffee makers.
