My ist week in Imperial.

Saturday, moving in. Having boat party that night. But become bored for last hr. Spend some on pepsi , ya, one pound for a cup of pepsi.

Sunday, went to international student reception ( shouldnt go as much of the topic will be repeated ) , go for basketball freetry, ppl here very tall. Waste 3 hrs chasing my friends around high street kensington, my fault, shoudnt go .

Monday, mechanical engineering reception, nthing much happened.

Tuesday, open bank account. Fresher fair, sign up for many soc mailing lists. Which only show commitment to few soc. Night, go bowling and skating, again , food inside expensive.

Wednesday, math test, quite simple ( much of it learn before, and yeah, still remember). afternoon, go for tutor tryout. A couple of french brother and sister want to learn mandarin, although they found a professional teacher, still earn some from the session. :)

Thursday, Continue on group project. Meanwhile have a thinking skill assessment. ( imperial want to copy oxbridge by introduce a TSA for admission, so we become the white rat). Night have dinner in chinatown. Go to club named roadhouse and have our VIP card.

Friday, group project test out . The cantilever my group built can survive 3. 5 kg onli. Sad ...... and i sold my fresher ball ticket to people more interested in.

Today, spend morning for shopping, afternoon for ICUMS reception, and night here.....

Few thought. The internet socket here very sensitive, it works for some cable but not others. Put it simple, my cable works in chin's room socket but not mine, his one same too. So we exchange our cable.....

Internet here quite fast. It go up to 90 mbps for uk server. But unfortunately, pings is so high and speed dramatically reduce when connect to malaysia server and china server.

First week i spent too much on food, but when we start cooking ( mainly can food actually ) the cost reduced significantly. Which is a good news.

Anyway, spending still high this week, got to reduced it for the next week. Btw, there is an interesting program in laying down railroad in wales and the next summer placement for EWB( engineer without border ) is Tanzania, want to go?
