…a brief glance…

Well, after a lot of searching, I have found a residence. It’s a bedsit. It’s a double room, but the land lady was nice enough to only charge me single. The room is big and was clean, so I jumped at it. Compared to the shoeboxes I’d seen, with pretty dodgy facilities, I literally jumped at this one. Seeing as it was available and the lady was giving me the keys the same day. So I took it, and we did the legalities and all that. My Mom and Ats have been running around Sydney trying to sort out my bank details, not to mention bank balance. Thanks Ma and Thanks Ats! It makes me feel better to not be loitering on someone’s couch.

After going backwards and forwards from Chelsea, to Maida Vale (new abode), and again to pick up and drop off belongings, Oxford Circus (to get linen and stuff), back to Maida Vale to drop stuff off, before rushing to meet Mic and Ruby @ Hillsong.

It was so AWESOME seeing Ruby and Mic. Another piece of home I surely needed. It was nice to hang out with them even if only briefly. Thanks Mic and Rubs for meeting up with me.

After returning back to Maida Vale for my first night in the room, I knew I had a challenge ahead, and that was to clean and disinfect the room. Sure it was seemingly clean, but I wanted to clean anyway. So I cleaned, vacumed, and set up my new sheets and what not. By the end, it felt nice to have my own space. It felt weird at first and I couldn’t get to sleep, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually. I have yet to meet my housemates as they weren’t home all weekend, and I heard one of them return this morning only to rush off to work. Since I was in my PJ’s I wasn’t going to duck my head out and introduce myself. I thought I’ll do that tonight when I get home from Ate Fe’s to pick up my dirty laundry, which I couldn’t carry yesterday. It looks like I am sharing with a couple of guys and perhaps a girl. By the state of the bathroom and kitchen. I semi disinfected the bathroom so I could use it without convulsing…don’t worry Ma, it’s not that bad. The kitchen, on the other hand…well they better clean that up! Apparently someone comes in once a week to do some cleaning, maybe that’s why they’re such slobs till then. However I take sanctuary in my clean and homey like room. I just need blu tack to stick my photos up and I should be all good. Will send pics of the room. It’s on the 10th floor so I have a view of smoggy London. It’s also only about 30 minutes from work. It’s close to the station, and it’s a secured building.

As exciting as it is to have this place, it makes me a little homesick too. Maybe because it’s another major change. But I’m okay. The job is good, and hopefully I can do it permanently. I also realised a couple of friends I had made a couple of weeks ago lived nearby, so we’ve set up hanging out sessions. It’ll probably take place in their abode since my room is the only room habitable at the moment. But I’ll change that.

Aside from that, nothing is new with me. Best go, surfing the net illegaly! Hehe. On the late shift now so I finish at 6:30pm. Which isn’t so bad, coz it’s quiet.

Hope all is well. Miss you all. Muwahhh!
