Happy 2009! a new year, a new hostel room...=)

hello!!

happy 2009!! may year 2009 be a much better year than crappy 2008....
now back in Singapore...today just shifted into Ridge view residence....the Old KR block...the room is actually quite nice really...totally surpassed my expectations...i was actually mentally prepared to shift into an old dungeon..=) but luckily, the room was ok...overall:

layout: Good...big table....large empty space in the middle of the room..

storage space: plenty....many drawers also i never use..

location: moderate....much further away from business school compared to sheares...oh well, have to wake up earlier to catch bus A1..

food: the biggest turndown so far...weekdays still ok, can go and eat in the school canteen before coming back...or YIH canteen...weekends, subway or macdonalds only....a big problem...somemore so difficult to find someone to go makan with u....unlike in hall, people here are less likely to 'jio' people for supper or dinner..

Toilet: Ok lar...quite clean...and near to my room...but the hot water hor, the temperature is like the lukewarm water we drink...but water pressure...excellent...very strong...

pantry: this is another negative point...a bit far...have to walk a level down...and today, i opened the fridge, i was so shocked...so many people put so much things into it...with raw fish and chicken also...hmm...i think i will only use the fridge once in a blue moon..

laundry: washing: free, but dryer have to pay 20 cents...so it's ok...nothing to complain about..

so overall, the place is not bad..quite happy...but didnt take photos coz no camera...i wanna buy a new camera....!

bye!
