New.Start.in.a.New.Home

I have finally moved in to my new home. Now living in a new town, new neighbourhood which is absolutely new to me. *Gulp* I have been busy for the past few weeks trying to settle down, adjusting to the new environment and new life.

The terrible thing is that my Xbox 360 RROD-ed (for the 3rd time) upon arrival to my new home and that actually reduced my entertainment tremendously. This place I lived in has got no Astro built-in and no 8TV reception. So, for the past few weeks, my only entertainment was the limited TV channels and the Internet. I'm so glad that I applied for the Internet first!

Many times I thought of storming down to Gamer's Hideout to get a new Xbox but I was advised to wait for the price drop this month and the arrival of new (better) units. In a way, I guessed that is good for me. It allows me to focus on what is important instead of just sitting in front of the TV, hacking mindlessly on the controller.

So far, living alone is fun but a little bit boring (maybe due to the lack of Xbox). Learning how to use the vitro-ceramic hob to cook instant noodles was exciting although it extended the 2-minute cooking attempt to an 8-minute one. Also picking up some pasta cooking nowadays and hope to inherit more skills from mom in the upcoming days.

There was a short and brief gathering for some local relatives (or what's left of it in this country) in my house during mom's birthday last week. There was nothing much to serve them cos the only stuff I drink is plain water. *HeHe*

I went back to my mom's place a few times and was greeted with lotsa hugs and muaks. :) Also everytime I return, dad wants me to bring back some of my old stuff with me. My study room is now a mess with all the boxes and stuff waiting for me to unpack and arrange them. Still not sure where to put my Mashimaros.

Well this is my longest time away from home...
