Hello my friends!!
I'm finally blogging!I really have alot to say, I dun even think I can finish everything I wanna type. Life in London is really different. And I've come to appreciate the readily available food that's waiting for me at the dining table back at home. Cooking's fun but time consuming, I hope I'll get more efficient with time! I do make it a point to have a big breakfast daily though!
Nutritious right!!
Sometimes, I do get into the emo mood and think about how it'll be like back at home. The culture here's pretty different. The british seriously love to drink and party. Booze booze and more booze. There was one night my flatmates brought back her friends to our house kitchen. There was drinking, and ppl were also rolling man-made cigarettes! :o hmm, to think that this is actually mild, I really hope that when they decide to do marijuanna, it will be discrete and not within my sight ( I heard its v common) I will so have the urge to yank those stuff away from them!
After nights of observing and playing silly games like truth or dare, I think I know who are the wild ones, the safe ones, the keep-my-distance ones etc. I dun mind drinking as a social thing, but I'm not going to turn into a clubbing freak or change who I am coz of the culture here!
Anw, take a look at my room! Thanks to Kai, a fellow singaporean who helped me put up the posters and "interior designing".
I love my posters!
Penthouse view? heh. I wanna buy more potted plants! (:
School officially starts tomorrow! I'm actually quite excited! though I've already met my course mates. Its a small class of 45 people.. but i think we'll get to know more ppl as some of our lectures are joint with audiology/psychology/linguistics students. I'm one of the two international students in my class, the other's Kaisin, a fellow Singaporean! So far, the experience has been quite unique. There are coursemates who are pretty old (married, even some with kids! :0) Most people here have so much difficulty pronouncing my name! It'll go like this:
Person: Hi there, you are?
Me: Hi, I'm Huixuan, nice to meet you, what about yours?
Person: I'm so and so
Me: Smiles or smth
Person: SOrry your name again?
Me: Huuuiii xxuuaannn(slowly)
Person: What!?hushun? Do you have an easier name which i can call you by?
Me:xuan?
Person: shuann. great!
After a while...
PErson: sorry can you repeat your name again?
AHH!it's pretty hilarious. especially when some people try to spell my names while storing my name in their mobile phones. There was a girl that spelt it as : SHOE- ANN.
:o
Phonetics lesson tomorrow! So exciting! I hope I wont flop while learning the british accent. I have difficulties even understanding it when ppl speak to me!
TAKE CARE EVERYONE! <3
