London Life



It’s been two weeks I've touched down in London.
Except the food and weather,
I'm quite adapted to the environment here.
The Hall mates are nice.
The friends that I made are all friendly.
Peter and gang are just good pals to hang around with.
We've been spending quite some nights to cook dinner together.
(Most of the time, I'm quite embarrassed for not being able to cook. So, I offer myself to do the dishes. XD)
I've got great neighbors too. They're from different countries (Qatar, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, France).
We mix together well.

Food here are either too cold or too "hot" (Chinese medicine defined) . I've got sore throat these few days, which leads to dry coughing now. Luckily, mom has packed me some medicine. Might be a little too early to use them, but I can't afford to get even sicker since there are lots of activities lining up for me in the weeks coming.

It's autumn now. Even though it's just starting of the season. The weather is terrible. The temperature is not that low, but it's the wind that bites you down to the bones. What's more, the unpredictable and unexpected drizzle is really irritating, which it can make you shake uncontrollably in the street. These two factors have got me into serious coughing at nights.

I'm kinda hate myself for applying Pembridge Hall. It's damn far from campus. And I'm almost late for the lectures last 2 days. Walking is quite tiring, undeniably. The tiredness has driven me to fall asleep fast in the lectures. I tried to concentrate hard, sitting straight, drinking water and chatting with friend couldn't help at all stopping me from dozing off. As solution to this problem (as what we the Engineers always look for), I've tried to look for bikes in Oxford St., but in vain.

I've made a lot of good friends here. I've a lot of fun here. However, I really hope that I can adapt to this life faster. I need to gain back the courage and stamina I once had for this brand new chapter of my life. Godspeed!!
