Exam week has been OK so far. Not sure about next week though - a lot of memorizing to be done for Food Tech. :S Have an interview on top of that too.
Anyway I have been half-slacking, half-working the past week and more. Last Friday we had a board game session thanks to Jerome who has a nice collection of awesome board games. There was actually 2 sessions, but most people (read: everyone except Jerome and myself) only managed to make it for one. So I 'tried out' Incan Gold and Munchkins with Jerome in the morning. The minimum number of players was actually 3 but we kind of made do with 2. The only difference was only the lack of player dynamics, actually. I must say I quite like Munchkins now. Then we played Incan Gold again in the afternoon, and Settlers of Catan which I watched.
Went warehouse shopping with WM and Tirza (and Jon who tagged along) on Saturday but left quite quickly because there were no suitable clothes despite them being so, so, cheap. Still, there are certain stuff that I won't be wearing outdoors even if you paid me to do that (on second thoughts, I probably won't mind if I was decently paid), and yup the whole collection of those were in the warehouse. :S I wish I could have bought something but couldn't bring myself to. Anyway we had a quick tour in Clementi Mall again before returning from dinner.
On Tuesday Jon, Tirza and myself paid Alicia a visit in Oldham Hall. It was actually a cooking session by the three of them, but I tagged along to study in Alicia's air-conditioned room after being persuaded by Jon again and again. Turned out that the food was awesome, especially the mushroom soup and shepherd's pie, and I kind of felt like a leech for not helping to cook (but I did help to wash up k). Didn't manage to study as much as usual but at least I completed most of my tutorials there, on top of playing blockers (not sure if that's the correct spelling for it), and toying with Alicia's ukulele (my first time playing one!). Turns out that the ukulele is very easy to learn, and nice to hold and play to,o because it's smaller than a guitar. However, it is only limited to the soprano range. It was pretty cute. JonC came later in the evening and brought bread to go with the mushroom soup :D Then he demoed is new violin skills in front of the mirror haha. Thanks to him we got a lift back home too, which was good news for me as my EZ link card might not have sufficient credit for me to take a bus back without paying with coins. :S Oh yes Alicia has nice cheese from New Zealand too, and I tried Blue Cheese for the first time.
Yesterday night Jon and I over-nighted in the Chem Eng ice-box, and it was completely empty. So we used his headphones as speakers to listen to songs while studying. It was very fun for me - big comp screen and air-con, with our discounted student-priced McD nearby with its one-for-one Fillet O Fish promotion. Not so fun for him because he didn't bring his jacket and can't turn the air-con off. :p
Anyway that's my blog about the week so far :D I will miss these versatile hours and empty time-tables when I start work! But hopefully we can have board games sessions every now and then on weekends! <3
