im here at loughborough, alive and well and finally got the internet up and running! hoot! made loads of new friends at my temporary accommodation, really friendly peeps who knocked on my door my first night here and introduced myself. just finished chatting with one of them. amazing really. will be sad when i shift out to my new accommodation on monday, but yeah, definitely will visit them to chill and hang out. my sg friends who stay in other halls love them too! cos they're so nice, friendly and funny, really warm, and you feel like part of the gang. they actually waited for me to get back to have dinner together, it is just amazing stuff really. and i know i sound like a brit wahahaha.
sadly, i still need some time to remember all their names. however, here's the peeps that i do remember: Lou (short for Louis) - a Northerner (read: scotland) girl who is really funny and has a wonderful accent and laughter; Helen from Nottingham - amazing and sweet girl; steph - the joker guy from essex and the butt of all my suaning; dave - another essex guy who just left my room a few minutes ago with his friend, really great chatting with him; dan - a guy who loves mini coopers and is gonna get one; jim- funny, sarcastic, knowledgeable; matt - uber friendly, helen's bf, funny; tom - kinda quiet but friendly and all; one more guy whom i couldn't quite catch his name. eep. haha. i think that's about all, and a few random people i get introduced to cos i was with the group. such a refreshing change from singapore!
in anycase, they're all up to celebrating chinese new year with me and the sg gals, which is really great. i love them all already! and they even offered to help me keep some stuff with them when i shift so i dont need to lug them all and one go, and even offer to help me carry the stuff there! like, it will be uber early in the morning and all, but yeah. how cool is that?
i think if they read this, they'll laugh. and tease the hell out of me. wahahaha.
it is forecasted to snow later today (it is 1:26am now, am gonna sleep after this). wooohooo! how exciting!
