The 9-er Arrives..After months of trying to convince my parents, and after a week of application, I have finally arrived. IN HALL 9!!!
It was quite a lot to pack actually, with a grand total of one big bag, a haversack, a shoe bag, a paper bag(which our dear Irfan broke whilst carrying) and my laptop bag. Quite the ooru-like scene if you ask me.
The looks on the kids though, were of two emotions, as they came down to send me off in a cab, along with my Dad, a scene all too familiar with my NS days. Yeah, a bit drama la, but it just makes it all complete nonetheless, especially how those kids have really integrated seamlessly into my life. Irfan was a figure of sadness, not that his favorite Anna was leaving, but rather the laptop was going along with me. Aisha, was the happiest of the lot, expressing her joy with a huge smile, and saying, "I am 100% that you are leaving.". When I ask her why she feels like that, she replies, "Because you everyday bully me. Now, I have so much of peace already.". That silly girl.
Of course, special mention to Satish and Mad for helping me carry my baggage to my room, which is similar to climbing Mt Biang (6th floor pple, not very fun). But the biggest surprise, would be whom my roommate will be. Many had been hoping for a PRC fellow, so that they can hear me rant on and on about the poor chinese brother's mannerisms and habits.
Sorry to put a dampener, but my roomie, HE'S A FAMILY FRIEND!!! I was really shocked to see him open the door. Another Sai Devotee too. He definitely works, in myserious ways. Oh well, that's my first day for you. Things, can only get interesting from here on.
For now, the 9-er has arrived!!!!!
