hi!!!!!

im back. after a long internet deprived hiatus, i'm porud to announce that 27 Old Gloucester Street finally has internet - and wireless no less. thanks to the incredible genius of mr tay, we managed to get the internet up and running the same night we got the mail from Tiscalli with the password and connection details.

for those of you comfortable computer geeks and internet addicts back in Singapore, it take bloody read : ONE MONTH to get the internet up and running when you move into anew flat in the UK, due largely in part to the lousy constipated nature of British Telecom, and the other stupid anal rules about how you have to get a phone line( which takes 2 weeks) then you have to wait 2 weeks more before you are allowed to connect to the net.

In blatant defiance of anti-competition logic, you are also not allowed to use any other service provider for braodband if your house is already wired to BT- read ;if the previous tenants before you used BT. Of course, they really arent trying to rip you off with the ridiculous tariffs and patheic connection speeds, I mean its only the biggest telco - state owned nonetheless - that is making everyone pay through theri nose for substandard service anyway.


Well, a quick update on my life since we got here. Itsbeen hectic, and correspondingly i've seen my appetitie increase baout 3 fold. I am not exaggerating. I've seen dance and rugby consume my life (whats new), and homework spinning around in the corner obviously not being taken care of enough. Not yet at least

London is a great place to be - if you want a part in the hedonistic lifestyle of the UK. In particular that of the LSE AU. Walkabout on wednesdays and the school bar before that never fails to amaze with its share of scandal and gore. Well, life's never really the same after you see darling kathrynn chatting up Lord Farquaad eh?

last night the arabic society jad a welcome party at the school bar - the underground. Didnt expect it to be any good, but it was good fun. Adele that wonderful guy let me in for free and everyone apent the night lazing around with huge shisha bongs - I mean i even rediscovered my love for arab music. Intersting but true.

Wish I had more pics of those to put on, but well, I will when i can
