My living place

I just moved into uni residence exactly a week ago, I was sorted into the Walter Gage residence. It's quite a big surprise because usually Walter Gage residence offers place to second-year students onwards, so there's a possibility that they sorted me wrongly.

Anyway, I just got myself here. Moving into campus also indicates the end of my off-campus life.

I took some photos before leaving the room I was renting for the whole September.

Let's start the picture talk then!

Here's the park nearby the house I was living.


The walking path.



The House



It's a 3-floor townhouse. First floor is the door with a staircase going up to the second floor.There's a bedroom on the right just before the staircase.Second floor contains a living room and kitchen, then there goes a staircase up to third floor which has 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

My room






My private bathroom



I was so indulged in the environment that I walked back to my house leisurely everyday at that time. Supermarkets and restaurants are easily accesible till it's not a problem to be a choosy consumer at all.However, that's just one thing I've been grumbling since the first day I live in Richmond, it's the distance from my house to the bus stop.

Let's measure it this way.

3 streets+ 2 traffic lights+ Passing by a Petrol Station and an Old Folks Home

It was so painful to reduce my 1.5 hour of sleeping time to prepare myself and catch a bus on time, for an 8 a.m lecture !That's the main reason for my shift.

So I decided to move into Walter Gage on last Sunday,where we had a long weekend (Monday was a holiday). I'm just excited with the thought that I'm gazillion steps closer to the uni from now onwards.

Walter Gage residence

I live in one of the 3 towers of Walter Gage, where I own a room with shared kitchen and bathroom. Apartments and studios are also available in here with very limited space.








I know, I like to stock food because I usually do grocery shopping once a week.
So " buy all you can" becomes my motto (lol,joking of course)! Food storage is important if I don't want to stuff myself with fast food everyday.

I'm proud to claim myself as a "loyal" Malaysian food products' consumer that all of my Milo,instand noodles and Tom Yum paste were brought from there.

Let's see...



Most of them are available here actually, if I don't mind buying a 400g of Milo pack at the price of RM 18. Considering the fact that I'm a "Milo Queen" , I think that doesn't work on me at all. I'll still carry packs and packs of Milo from M'sia yearly.

All the above pictures just make good explanation about my previous and current living place. =) I met all my housemates finally, there's really a diversed culture among all of us, having Canadians, Asians and Asean.

I feel, it would be a good start of my first year.
