My New Housemate

Ladies and Gents,

This is Celestyn Wong, my new housemate, who I rescued bedraggled from Brussels International Airport on February 2nd 2007. I have, in consideration for 500g of Bak Kwa, housed her in my room while she waited for her contract to begin, fed her(and have continued to feed her with assorted snacks,biscuits and pretzels), dragged her luggage around the length and breadth of Leuven and done whatever I could to ease her arrival into Leuven as much as possible, given the terrible state of administration provided to international students.

She is from SMU. And has a boyfriend. There. End of discussion.Me with Celest and Laura, from Italy.

Xmas and New Year Travels

Just got back from an exhausting return journey from Prague.

I had the most awesome, eye-opening, liver and lung abusing trip ever with Pav, Sarah and Pav's flatmate from Hong Kong(Steven), covering Krakow-Zakophane-Budapest-Bratislava-Vienna-Wachau Valley-Cesky Krumlov-Prague. I am now broke in Belgium because of it but it was worth every penny. I guess that my exams in January will help me save some money because I can't leave town till 31st Jan.

I will blog about this trip, chronologically, as soon as Stevie sends me his DVD of pics. And oh yes, because of 5 of the world's most dangerous Kiwis when drunk(which is most of the time) and a certain drunken-half-crazed Aussie bar owner from Munich, I have now a new name - MACHINE.

sure sounds more intimidating than Bob, right?

Anyway this trip has also taught me many lessons, which I will share with my readers:
#Lesson 1 (learned in Zakophane, Poland)
Kiwi girls can drink anybody under the table and worship strange wooden statutes when half drunk
