Swamped

I'm totally swamped! Too much to do with too little time.

My to do list is never ending... there's always more work waiting... I'm not studying as much as I want to (or need to)... and I really want to meet up with friends that I've not met for a while.

On top of that, I still have my council tax, broadband and telephone line to sort out. They are really a pain in the neck. I hate being put on hold for 30mins only to be told that there's a problem and they don't know when it'll be done. Sigh.

And there's my housewarming which everyone is asking me about! (which I'll probably have to do at least 3 different ones to accommodate everyone!)

I really can't wait to go for my holiday. I just want to get away and not think about anything at all. Just to wake up and not worry about things that needs to be done. Enough is enough. I need time out!

Settling in...

After much hassle and some unkind experiences (including an extremely annoying agent, almost having to cancel my moving and a power cut which forced me to be evicted from the flat....), I'm finally settling in to the flat and enjoying every minute of it!

It's really good to be so near to the tube station and supermarket, being near to everyone else, no annoying housemate to bother me, being able to have guests anytime and most important of all, I like the sense of independence and the sense of achievement of having my own flat! (Although it does come with the down side of having to settle everything myself!!)

Let me give you a picture tour of my new flat:

The living room and the balcony outside - I even have a proper barbecue pit! Just waiting for a nice sunny day to use it...

Yes, I finally have a TV after living without one for the last 5 years?? Now I can watch my F1 races and my mum's getting me a DVD player so that I don't have to watch my shows on my computer anymore... just like at home! (Though I wish I have Astro as well!!)

My workstation.... I'm not abandoning my desktop of course! Internet is still a must (hehehe... must thank KT Yeo and housemates as I'm tapping into their internet while I'm waiting for mine to be set up! :P) And plus, I still need to study....

The hallway with good storage space. (Don't comment on my shoes okay? I'm sure most girls I know have more pair of shoes than me!)

My clean and functional kitchen - where I can try out and make up all my recipes to fuel my love for cooking good food! :)

And last but not least, my comfy bedroom

Well, the bedroom is not as big as my previous room and lack of wardrobe space. But, it cosy enough and one can't be too demanding I guess!

So what do you think of my new flat? ;)

One more to go!

Yes, only one more to go! Passed the last exam which leaves me with the final fellowship paper before I can call myself a qualified FIA actuary...

BUT, before I start fantasising about study-free evenings and weekends... there's still the last hurdle to tackle.

Wish me luck in October!
