Let's see...
Yesterday - Somebody must have found and pressed my missing 'pre-HSC study mode' button. Wrote over 20 pages of notes... non-stop. Weird. I've lost that urge to study now.
Last night was the night when we colonised all 3 kitchens across the B-Landing corridor and cooked up a storm for 15 people. Chicken wings and drumsticks, some form of omelette, Chinese-style lettuce... and special Thai rice. Yesterday was fun. Running everywhere. So many people. Played with rubber bands... the rubber band gun... and balloons... yeah, it's Ruby's birthday, and they had some party in the bar. Followed by more partying at some posh club pub.

Today - Dr Lamb (that lecturer and tutor who's mad about genetics and the proper use of the Queen's English) and his wife invited Cherlyn and I to their house for lunch. How kind of them. Their house is an extremely interesting little English house in Sheen, past Hammersmith, west of London... with carpeted bathrooms (one of which is almost completely pink!), and bottles of commercial and home-made wine, and huge glass pots of fermenting wine in random corners and shelves around the house. They're actually quite a lovely, friendly couple, appreciative of the finer things in life. True to their namesake, the main dish was... roast lamb. And Dr Lamb treated us to a bit of his special strawberry wine. They took us to the nearby
Kew Gardens, part of the Royal Botanic Gardens. Saw the orchids in the orchid fest (many of which were 'imported' from Singapore's Botanic Gardens), lots of palms... and numerous other plants. Nearly felt like hugging the all-too-familiar mangrove trees... Cherlyn and I were made homesick by the sight of the Australasian flora. ;)
Just came back not long ago, and had Val ring me up asking if I'd like to go to some Italian place for dinner... hehe
