Something really wonderful happened to me yesterday.
I finally got INTERNET hooked up in my room!!!! Woooooohooooo~ I was so elated yesterday and I used the internet from 3pm all the way till midnight or so, although I was supposed to be doing my homework. God, I've been waiting so long for the internet people to come down, 3 weeks to be precise. Now, I dont have to share the internet in the common room and hear people skyping in different tongues when I try to chat with my friends. Best thing is that I can now lie on my bed, be a lazy person and surf the net. One thing I hate most is using the computer at the table. It's just so tiring!
So anyway, two internet people came down to fix the internet for me yesterday. One came at around 2+ to connect the modem and the other came at around 7+ to set up my email. I connected the internet myself by following the manual they gave me. But seriously, TWO people to connect to the internet?! I was kind of wtf-ed when the lady at NTT told me that I had call Nifty and set up another time for them to come down because I thought that one person would suffice. Come to think of it, Singtel kinda rocks. The guy who picked up the phone at Nifty wasnt really nice too. I asked him if he could speak English and he said really harshly, "Can you call a Japanese person to the phone?". Like wtf, if you cant speak English just say so, and say it in a nicer tone...wtf. Hooking up to the internet here is so not foreigner-friendly.
I was surprised when I saw how young the internet people were because we usually get older people coming down back in Singapore. And because I use my computer on my bed, the guy who set up my email had to squat on the floor the whole time he was here because there was no other appropriate places for him to sit down and use the computer. I seriously felt kinda sorry because I had to squat down next to him and my legs were almost numb by the time he finished setting up the email. Anyway, I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!! Bye bye common room!!!!
Last Saturday, we had this compulsory fire drill in my dorm. I really wanted to avoid it by telling the guard that I wouldnt be in during that time but I decided not to and participated in the end. It was surprisingly interesting and I never knew that the stuff that comes out from the fire extinguisher's pink! Nice colour! I'm actually glad that I did attend the fire drill.
Then on Saturday night, I went for this event called Lake Party which is basically a drinking session that occurs next to a lake, near one of the dormitories. It started out weird because I didnt really know anyone there but I ended up meeting a few nice people, so that's good. The party got a little crazy at the end and guys had to take off their shirts/pants whenever they lost the game. So there were quite a few topless people that night although it was freezing cold. I left at about 1:30am and people were still singing at the top of their lungs...and apparently, they could be heard by people living in the dormitories next to the lake. I'm so happy that I dont stay there...lol.
Yup, really short entry because nothing much happened to me. My life's boring. :(
