There are times when an acquaintance offers you just what you need at the precise moment that you instantly embrace her as a friend.
I guess I remember help provided best when it’s given in the form of food. Today, close to 2am, just when I was starving and trying to think what I can possibly [...]

The year my birthday lasted 40 hours
Posted by: Squareface In: Campus Life| Food| Housing| UBC
Add 24 hours with 16 hours time difference from your home country, and you get 40 hours on your birthday! That’s if you count your birthday starting from midnight of the day according to your birth country, and then only ending after midnight of the country you’re in! Haha
I had a very healthy birthday cake [...]

Posted by: Squareface In: Campus Life| Fudan| Housing| Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general)
During this period last year I was really vexed running around house hunting in the vicinity of school, going to agent after agent, viewing house after house. Out of the many places I saw, I fell for my current one-bedroom apartment. Maybe in more than one sense of the phrase.
There were cheaper alternatives, but there [...]
I’m housing 2 guests (an acquaintance and her sister) from tomorrow till Tuesday, and for that I have been cleaning my place for the past 2 days.
I do not exaggerate when I say my house floor is filthy, because the last time it was mopped was when my parents were here. I use the vacuum [...]
