novelty
Am making new friends and being nice to other kids in the flat. Arthur is an architect major from Taiwan. It was such a concidence that I actually spent my Chinese New Year's Eve at this very flat when Litz invited me over for hot pot dinner with her architect friends, that's how I got to know Arthur. He strikes me as one of those clean and tidy guys, the housewife type who when everyone is already enjoying their meals and he alone makes sure every pot and pan is washed. Glad to know a friend is living here as well. The Brazilian lady as I mentioned earlier is not too bad after all. Talk to her about "The Girl of Ipanema" and she will belt out the tune. Guess cooking and dining is her thing--eating ice cream out of a wine glass, bringing her blender over to England, spending time making fancy desserts, eating with great panache--like holding a little ceremony. If that's the case then I wouldn't mind too much about her taking up THREE cupboards. Then there're guys from China and Japan who are both affable sort of characters. Lastly, a practically invisible pale Korean girl who I've only met once. Bunch of oriental faces results in a funky smell kitchen. Last night when midnight rolled around, I vaguely can sense this greasy oriental kitchen smell seeping into my room, urgh! Shall play loud music in retaliation.
