Rayleigh Tower, Flat 11, Room 5

Hey, welcome, welcome to me room!

When you enter, this is wat u'll see:-

My room is at the corner of a square building so I have windows on 2 sides of me room.

I've been busy decorating me room wif postcards and photos which I brought over and some posters which were on sale in campus this week!

More posters - and the door comes with hooks at the back!

This is me study table. Not that many books yet... The radiator is on the bottom left of the pic - which I oso use to dry my stuffs!

And the last photo below would have taken you 360 degrees around me room. Not very big but just nice and cosy for me!

Come out to the kitchen cum dining area. 13 people in the flat share this place but we have all arranged our schedules to cook and eat at differing times so it won't be too crowded. Each is given a storage cupboard, a freezer space and a place in the fridge:-

There are saucepans, 2 ovens, 1 microwave oven, 2 sinks and 2 set of 4 electric stoves. The view from the 11th floor dining area is quite nice.

There is a lake in the grounds wif geese and ducks.

Back to me room. This is the view down from my window. 11 floors is quite high. Thank goodness the lifts have been working without problems the whole week.

I have quite a nice view from me window:-

The other window on the other side faces the campus building. You can see in the following pic high rise towers in the background. Those are the South Towers. I'm staying in the North Towers which look exactly the same:-

Becasue of how my room is situated, I can see the sunrise from one window...

...and the sunset from the other window!

The first few days have been lovely - clear skies, sunny in the day but nice cold wind.

But it'll be getting colder and the sun cannot be seen for the past 2 days oredi. Still, at least it has not been raining.

That's all for now!

Farewell feasts!

I'm soooo stuffed! Everyone's been trying to force-feed saying that I won't be able to eat this or that when I'm at Essex! Well, truth be told, they really din have to try hard to force me. I surrendered willingly!!!

It all started on Friday nite when I was taken to this Chinese restaurant where they were having this "All-you-can-eat" promotion. Yup, we had all we could eat, and more! ;-P

After that, we adjoured to Al's place for ice cream wif kahlua! Excellent!

The next day, I met up wif me AHF group again! This time, Mr. Yee, a good fren and a father figure organised a big lunch feast just for me at his place!

Mrs. Yee's famous roasted chicken wings!

We oso had excellent roast pork, wonderful mashed potatoes, curry chicken and fish, chicken feet.... lots more.

I'll really miss me AHF group. It was an enjoyable lunch and they gave me a VERY generous gift - I was so touched.

After clearing up everything, I actually stayed on and joined the ladies. We sat around wif coffees and teas and chat! :-)

Later that evening, I went over to Weng Soon's apartment to open the place. Me ex-colleagues from UMW Toyata were going there to have steamboat!

The hands belong to me ex-manager, Ms Chong who did not allow me to put her pic on me blog. Imagine, a manager preparing food for me!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Weng Soon provided drinks for the nite - I think I had 4 or 5 bottles of this!!!!!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Sunset. Steamboat about to start.

Vanilla scented candles to make the place smell nicer.

After dinner, I had me final "chor tai di" session wif Weng Soon and Mikes - yeah 3 of us only since KC not around!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
After that, we basically laze around...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
...and just chatted.

The next day, I couldn't eat anything. Me final breakfast after worship wif me usual breakfast-"kakis" was just a glass of teh-tarik. Lunch was a box of nasi lemak and when i got home, I had to eat dinner as me dad made his curry chicken for me one last time! It was good.

Later in the nite, I went out wif Jon and Jee Lee for a midnite feast!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
We had this "ying and yang" chicken - roast chicken and steam chicken

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
...and this "chow siew yoke" - roasted pork which is stir-fried wif garlic! Yummy!

We oso had pork balls in soup, bean-sprouts and claypot curry pork ribs which was excellent!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Jon and Jee Lee seconds before the feast commenced!

Let's see, there's aother supper tonite wif the BSF gang, lunch wif Hoonch and dinner wif family (to celebrate both me dad's and me bro's b'day next month) tomorrow, perhaps a last attempt to try the Bar-B-Q wings 2moro nite, lunch on Thurs wif Jen and Ken, dinner that nite wif me ex-Uni mates... and I still have to meet up wif some others whom I have not fixed a time yet.

So much to eat, so little time...

hehehe. The company is appreciated more than the food, of course!
