my house is

exceedingly abundantly above all i asked & thought. (and yay my internet is up! it came yesterday but i was waaay too tired to do anything but install it)

1. my flat is on southampton row in between russell square and holborn (fantastic area) and about 15min walk to school
2. my landlord is kenneth - my housemate, his mom bought the flat
3. i'm paying 80 pounds a week for a shared room - with utilities and food it'll probably come up to 120 max, which is less than hall fees last year
4. ken's mom handled everything - all the furnishing and decorating... and the house is super atas


so here's a tour of the house:

our front door (a bit harry potter-ish with the number of locks on the door)
walk in and turn left and you reach the living roomto the right of the living room is my room shared with soph... i think you can guess which side is mine... no prizes if you get it right - check out the differences man
if you turn right from the front door you see an uber long corridor
and our shoe cupboard - everything on the right is sophs! and none of those are mine =S
down the corridor a bit and to the left is kenneth's room
then chrissie's room
then there's more corridor

the main toilet on the right

and the kitchen on the left - check out our stockpile of asian cooking goodies
turn right and you hit hermit kingdom - ken and chrissie actually came home once and didn't realise that mr hermit was at home before going out again
the door at the end is mr hermit's room
and mr hermit is poor gordon with the smallest room in the house
and here's the hermit toilet, to the right of mr hermit's room

ohwell. living together has been really eventful.. 2 kitchen accidents liao
1. soph put a muffin in the microwave to heat up and smoked out the house
2. gordon opened the spaghetti packet and forgot he did and a lot of it ended up on the floor
well. among other things...

heh. i actually went around anointing all the rooms with oil on the second day... pray that we'll keep the house running smoothly and maintain peace in the household =)
