New toys

Yes, after much dithering (on my part) and much delay (on apple's part), I am now the happy happy owner of a shiny new iPhone 4!!!! :D *insert appropriate thanks to my daddy whom I notified that I was getting this as a belated birthday present and received a neutral-positive response which I turned into a yes*

Oh and I have unlimited 3G Internet too! *double joy* cause as someone once said, an iPhone without Internet is just like an expensive paperweight.

I love the fact that I don't have to move from the warmth of my bed to check emails and the weather. My laptop has been left dusty seeing that I now only use it to watch Grey's Anatomy and umm study. Yeah.

Anyway, life in London has been pretty good except that it's getting rather cold and us students trying to be thrifty now that we have to pay our own heating bill have decided that our house heater shall not be switched on till the house temperature drops to 12c. Brrrrr... My steaming hot showers are already the highlight of my day as that's about the only time (besides sleeping) that I don't shiver uncontrollably at home. The sad life of desperate broke students in London.

I live in central London pretty near school which is a quiet residential area filled with food places, and there are 2 tube stations and 2 supermarkets nearby. And more importantly, Oxford street is 17 mins walk and Chinatown is about 20-25 mins by foot too! I will start snapping more pics with my new phone and upload them.

BBC is always filming in a square (which has like the bolivar/Venezuela consulate) next to my flat and I was so excited because last night enroute dinner, they were filming in my regular breakfast place and I ate there just 9 hours ago! Much excitement led to the whipping out of iPhone and snapping. And one of the crew/actor (i hope he was an actor) obliged by waving and smiling!

My housemate Jenny, has confessed that she was so tempted to jump madly in front of the camera and wave madly asian style. I confess, those thoughts have been lurking in my mind too...but for the ensuing tsunami of embarrassment that would instantly follow.

Okay I can't figure out how to upload pics from my phone onto blogger while blogging with it. I shall be back with more pics. :)
