3 days, 2 nights in RUtland...

Note: 2nd email I sent out since i got here...


Hey all...

Where do i start?? Mystery House parties, my room being invaded, false fire alarms, groping in the dark (heh.. not that sort la..), barn dance, hall rivalry (with chants and all), a bell ringing society among other things and more!!

First off, i'll start off where i left off from my last email. I've finally moved into RUTLAND HALL. Infamous RuTland Hall, which i'll be living in for the rest of the academic year. I realise it isnt easy being a minority.. in many ways. First off, along my corridor, i'm nearly surrounded my girls! Two of those girls are named Sara (and one more somewhere in the hall). There's the vice president who's the only guy along my corridor. There are guys much further down tho..2ndly, mostly home students around me..

I'm living in a single studied catered hall. Today they served Chicken Korma but doesnt taste like it at all! I miss Malaysian food. Two fellows i came across complimented Malaysian Food! YEAH! Score one for Malaysia.

SUNDAY - I had the taste of hall rivalry in the afternoon. Other halls chant: Rutland takes is up the arse...and we proudly reply : yes, and we do it proud! Lol. And we chant : Rutland till i die, Rutland till i die, i know i am, i'm sure i am, Rutland till i die.

And we chant at out neigbouring hall, Sherwood : If i has the arse of a donkey and the wings of a sparrow i would fly over sherwood and shit on the bastards below. (to the tune of bring back my pony to me)

So, it's kinda like hall rivalry in err.. harry Potter but PG-18!! Heh.

There was a Rutland only house party on the 1st night but i kinda sneaked two friends into the party.. heh. We left early.. the 6 of us. We wanted to

My 1st night at Rutland was a sleepless one. There was a party right outside my door at 2am.. .. and i didnt know how to lock my door then (it's one of those lift up to lock types!) and this british girl came in and i stared at her in my PJs and i stared at her and then this bloke comes in and says sorry and shuts the door. Then later on, the fire alarm rings at 3!! It was freakin loud and instead of getting up, i cover my head with everything i can find and go back to sleep! The next morning, i found out that everyone had gathered downstairs.. If it was the real thing, yours truly would probably be send back in an ashtray!

Monday - I was dead tired.. but it was the first day of FRESHER'S FAYRE where all the societies/sports clubs promote themselves to all the students. There was Ultimate Fresbee, Trapoline Society, Bell ringing society, Magic Soc (Yeah!! Wanted to join but clashed with Ballroom Soc), Nott Malaysian Society, Catholic Society and many more... just to name a few. Last year, at the comercial booths.. attendants at the Isis (a strip club/bar) flashed to get attention! I got lots of tons of free stuff(mags,key chains, shirts).. i've been there 3 times in 2 days as it's right opposite my hall!)
