For summer, I am staying at a friend's place in Davey Lodge. Actually I am falling in love in unilodge because it is so convenient. I did a bit of cleaning to the room and I actually try to hide everything so the room looks more spacious. Hopefully, my friend can find his things when he gets back!!
Thank you for Zhou Long for allowing me to stay in your room for summer, although I barely talk to him before this. Also, thank you Jasper again for helping me to find my summer accommodation.
That's the owner of the room. He plays tennis, I think, based on the poster pasted on his door.
Actually I am supposed to move in to his room by the end of January, but there's this freaking scary Indian in Toad Hall that makes me feel unsecured during my summer accommodation there. I would describe the person is someone like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of Carribean, but honestly Johnny Depp is much much much more handsome and less scary compared to the person I met.
For those who know me well enough, they would know I really don't like certain types of people. So, in the first place I din't want to talk to him and how do you expect me to talk to a person with half of his face covered by his hair. I saw other residents talking to him in the kitchen and it is probably just my problem of being super defensive towards certain type of people. But who cares... The most ridiculous thing was it should be my freedom to choose to talk to anyone I want to and I was scolded because I did not talk to him.
After that, I made up my mind to move to Davey no matter what. Thank god, I have an alternative accommodation or else I think I would lock myself in my room for the rest of the month.
Ok, enough of nightmare!! I shall not see you anytime soon or forever in my life!!
3 things I like about Davey:
1. Davey is so close to College of Business and Economics. I can wake up around a quarter to 9 and still managed to get to class before the lecturer even arrive (Actually my lecturer was late for class most of the time. Students were so used to it that everyone arrived around 9.30am for a 9am class. There was once the lecturer was on time and guess what, only 4 students including me arrived) It makes me feel awesome when I can wake up late and still be on time for class. So cool!!
The building on the left is Arndt Building and there is where we go for tutorials and just down the end is our School of Business and Economics. School is just so close to Davey, therefore, for those staying in Davey, no excuses for skipping classes!!
2. Davey is so close to Daily Market and Superbarn. One that is staying in Davey can never get into hunger because Dailey Market basically sells all types of Asian groceries and most importantly a variety of junk food. Furthermore, Superbarn is only 15 minutes walk compared to where I am going to move to, 30 minutes of walk. Please don't think it is just a 15 minutes differences. It can make huge impact to your will to get your groceries because you never want to carry heavy groceries that could weight to around 8kgs for another 15 minutes and you don't do groceries once in a while. You do them every week!! You might end up to be muscular after a year of groceries!! =)
3. Single studio of Davey has its own kitchen in the room. Staying here makes me want to pamper myself everyday with good meals because I don't have to meet others when I cook. It might be at someone's good faith to ask "What are you going to have for dinner? What are you cooking? Bla Bla Bla... ", but it is kind of annoying if 10 of your friends are asking the same thing and you answer "I don't know" for 10 times. Sometimes, you just don't know what you are going to cook until the final products are done!!
3 things I don't like about Davey:
1. I think residents in Davey really can produce rubbish!! The rubbish collector truck comes and collect rubbish almost every morning. There were times where it came in the evening to collect rubbish too. The smell is just too irritating and the noises made wakes you up!! Imagine you woke up because of the rubbish truck in the midst of some dream about lottery numbers!! I am not a millionaire because of rubbish truck (just joking!!)
2. The smoke detector and smoke alarm system. I know that they are there for the safety of residents and everybody else, but seriously, the alarm system is so sensitive that it was triggered once when I cooked instant noodles and forgot to turn on the rangehood. Just instant noodles, nothing fancy!! It makes me freak out because I did not know how to stop it. I might get a fine if the alarm went off for more than 3 minutes. Luckily, I managed to conquer the alarm system. Haha. It wasn't that difficult to turn it off after it is triggered!!
3. People smoking in the parking lot. It is very uncomfortable to breathe in second hand smoke and when they smoke, they chat too. So freaking loud when they talk and when the windows are open. Smoking poisons the earth!! Love the earth and please stop smoking!!
One thing to add on, Zhou Long has more shoes than I do....
Have a guess which shoes are mine and which are his?
There are only 3 shoes that belongs to me, others belong to Zhou Long. Poor Priscilla have less shoes than a guy!! Unbelievable right??
