I survived the 1st day of school, literally

With many cuts...
After the long awaited anticipation for another entry, here I am! Hahaha I finally got my bike at my college because it's very far away from city centre (takes at least 20 mins to walk to my lectures and buses are damn ex) and I rode to school! and crashed to the bushes...

Haha yes it's really stupid I must admit. I was with my course mate and we were riding together to school. The Ang mohs are really much faster than me so I try to keep up and in e end I just tell them to go ahead without me. Ok back to the stupid morning story.. This guy was in front of me and he cut up a pavement because there was a stupid truck at the cycling lane, and stupid me thought that I could do the same too and in the end I crashed to the scrubs and bleah (see pictures below)


This was 8 hrs after I got the cuts so it's pretty dried up already. Sigh there are only 5 ppl in my college doing econs n management and they are all guys! I have to ride very quickly to keep up with them and with my lack of balance it's not worth it I guess. And I almost got knocked down by a london cab which was yeah pretty jia lat because I was in such a hurry to get to lect... Hopefully my cycling gets better and by next yr I will be council's no 1 cyclist :P
I have got work to do now so I shall keep this short lol I tried to wash my clothes last Saturday (sounds pretty simple isn't it, just dumping the clothes to the washing machine and use a dryer on it later). The problem was when I entered the room with the stuff I saw 4 machines, 2 sets of 2 identical machines. one was washing clothes and the other was out of order. So Mr joker-me opened one of e other 2 machines and wondered how all this works. Then I dumped everything into that machine and went "hmmm there's a green button, so that should be the next step right?" and clicked tt n e machine works! But it was quite weird because I didn't have to pay 1 pound to get the machine going and it was producing really weird noises! I stood there for a while and finally my neighbor whose clothes were in the machine came. so I asked her "Hey do you know how this thing works?"
"Oh it's a dryer..."
Yeap. I put my unwashed clothes into the dryer! Hahahhaa so stupid right? I took out the clothes and they were all hot! The amazing thing was how the dryer even functions withou me putting 20pence in... anyway she was highly amused and went "Do you put the washing powder into the machine?!" "Er... There's a need for washing powder?" [faints]
In the end she ended up lending me her washign powder and some softener and taught me how to use the machine... hahahaha incredibly lame isnt it? Ok i gtg! Eh ppl overseas n in Singapore, blog her eonce in a while le. I really don want this to end up becomign my personal blog.. Oh I have squash trials with the Oxford Blues captain on Wednesday afternoon! I missed the uni one because I thought I will get thrashed so I signed up for college squahs instead.. ended up winnign quite comfortably against the captain lol but university Blues is a totally different thing. I think I will propose just playing best of 3 sets so that I can go all out esp when my stamina is sooooo bad, and my butt hurts because of the bumps during cycling...
Ah wells, tt's all from me for now :) Take care everyone!
