Checking In... To University Life!

I'm back from Hall Camp!

Well, Jim and I took our leave early because of various stuff that we had on. Even though I'm considerably less occupied than Jim in terms of scheduling conflicts, I figured that I've got quite a few issues at hand that I'd like to settle before officially starting my life in NTU.

Besides there's no reason for me to be there if Jim isn't there right? *insert your gay taunts here*

So anyways, we checked into our hall on Monday afternoon, lugging along big and small packages alike. In case you don't know, we're assigned to Hall 16, AKA THE HALL WITH AIRCON!

I've never been to or seen Hall 16 ever before in my life, but I've been to some of the other halls in NTU. Run-down, dirty, and really really old are just some of the nicer words I can use to describe them.

Therefore, I guess it was acceptable for me to go "OMG WE HIT THE JACKPOT!" when I first laid eyes on our new home. My initial impression was a healthy mix of awe and thankfulness if you ask me. From the outside, our hall looks clean and modern, much like some sort of condominium block.

16C, that's our block!

So after signing a few documents and collecting our keys (which happen to come in the form of CARDS, isn't that like UBER-COOL?), we began the arduous journey to get to our room on the 3rd floor of Block 16C. Not that it was a really difficult task to get there, given the fact of the existence of a certain mechanical wonder called the LIFT.

Our keycards! One for the gate, one for our room!

We got to our room, and boy, did it lived up to expectations. It's really very spacious in there, and there was a lot of room to move about. Jim and I were even contemplating to rearrange the beds into a L-shape so that we can set up a mahjong table right in the center of the room. Exciting prospect isn't it?

Welcome to our room!

Also, the study table is super long and wide! I think it isn't a problem to fit 3 or even 4 muggers there. So the next time you need a place to study in NTU, and there isn't proper comfortable place to mug, you are welcomed to look for us in our room! (Please note that you should knock before barging in, wouldn't want you to see anything that you don't want to see. Hiak hiak.)

The Palace of Wisdom!

The beds are super-comfy to sleep on! I probably got the best sleep ever in the 2 nights that I spent there. (Ok I know that it is theoretically impossible to get the best sleep two times in a row, but hey, King-Koil beds do miracles. Ask jim!)

My bed!

Jim's bed!

Geez, I really should stop raving about how good the place is. So let me just leave you with some more photos that I took randomly...

A photo I took from the link-bridge.

The wonderful view that greets us from out of the window!

Our gigantic wardrobe!

The freakn Sun in the Universe that is our room.

In case the Air-Conditioner breaks down.

P.S. The place looks so clean because my baobei came over to help us tidy up the room! Thank you baobei! What would I do without you? <3
