My room!

Just to show u how my room looks like...

BEFORE..........















a bit of progress... i think....

















AFTER........








































Not too shabby, eh :P..................

the hospital

the royal infirmary of Edinburgh.. the place where i spend most of my time here..

(^_^)

The night we were cooking curry, we told Theo (from my flat) that curry is not complete without santan (coconut milk) and we couldnt find it here in edin..

Khek tjian: u cant find coconut trees in scotland, can u?

Taadaa ! a present from him! Ah moy Coconut Milk..

The guys here are very considerate too.. asks us if they are too loud or disturbing us, that we can just tell them..

"because u're the onli gal here u get to be special " theo said.. Thank u thank u!!

So, ppl, no need to worry.. they dun bully me.. after all, khek tjian can fight them off... muahaha..

Staying in an all guy flat isnt as bad as it seems.. Fish and i were comparing an all guy and all gal flat..or in other words, her flat and mine...

Fish: the girls very possesive of cabinet space.. Fish actually 'booked' a cabinet by putting her aluminium and food wrap she bought, and a while later, she found the cabinet occupied by someone else's stuffs and her stuff pushed back to the behind of the cabinet... everything they own is labelled..

Ying: Most of our cabinets are quite empty.. the irish guy's parents were so kind to buy pillows and flowers to decorate the common room, and got can openers, ladles, etc so it could be shared among the flat ppl :) the guys also set up a Common Cabinet, with herbs, sauce and watever stuff that can be used by anyone in the flat :)

Fish: each gal has their own shelves in the fridge, and everything is labelled..

Ying: we don't have our own shelves in the fridge, everything is stuffed wherever there is space.. and basically, u may share the stuff if u wan to.. so chillin..

The downside is, guys are messier :P as u can see in the pics, not that i'm a very neat person... and usually the all guy flat is the site for partying (no surprise, they are freshers).. so i can actually eavedrop on their conversations if i wanted too or siing along to the songs in the common room.. hehe..

but give and take the good and bad points.. it really isnt bad :)

Food!

So far, here's wat my fren's and i cooked together :) Fried spaghetti..

Pita bread!

Fried mee... that guy there is theo, the friendly joker of the flat.. the only one, other than the m'sian buddies who is able to call me Han Ying.. tries to speak mandarin too :P

Mixed vege and curry!!

More to come ;) hopefully...

Hi, I'm Mr. Han Yang

I'm in flat 6 room 10 of kincaids court flats.. Its a 12 persons flat.. And all my flatmates are guys.. Its weird because they were telling me there were floors where they were all gals.. And also all guys... (same gender flats)

Then ivy brought up a brilliant explanation, that somehow did not even cross my mind for a second..

Previously, the uni had misspelled my name, and mistaken my gender as well @_@ i was frustrated at this, but i had no idea it would lead to this.. hehe!

tak hairan la if Mr. Han Yang stays with 11 guys rite?? :P

so here i am.. With 11 guys.. 10 ang mohs and a khek tjian.. living here has apparently made me known by many in kincaids as 'Ying, the only girl in the all-guy flat'

I can imagine it as a starter of conversations :

"did u know there's a chinese girl in our all guy flat?"

"omg, really? poor thing..."

"yeah, anyway.......bla bla bla"

Here's what happens to the kitchen with 11 guys...

Kitchen before: (example fr calvin's flat)

Kitchen after:

Mummy.. Dun worry, they are nice ppl :) and they do clear up the kitchen...eventually... :)
so far, there are guys from US, England, Edin, Poland and Ireland in my flat.. Most of them are really friendly and quite funny..

One guy even said "dun worry bout living with us guys, we'll take care of u :D"
Haha.. so sweet..
and all of them are probably younger than me cos they are mainly freshers (1st yr students).

Everynight there is a party at each flats.. Pretty happening, with all of them trying to fit into the limited kitchen space, common room and also the corridor :) wonder if they ever get tired...

look at the amount they drink! good news for glass and tin can recyclers, tho :)

Edin day 2!

we had a short climb up this hill called Carlton hill :) at the first steps, i was having scary flashbacks of climbing mount kinabalu.. but barely 2 minutes of climbing, we conquered the hill!
