I went to a Block Party on Friday. The venue is in the Cartridge House where there are block houses where the “party” was held. Had a LONG LONG walk from Mcmahon and we actually went through the woods on this trail, where the locals named it “the rape trail”. Julia (Knotz) told me that many girls were rape after the party. I was paranoid! And so, I had it mentally ran through the survival procedures if any bastards attempt to do something funny on me. It was only later that I found out from Debra that rape trail was just craps, no one was ever rape there~phews!

Just think this pic is rather cool..haha..same guy in the previous pix..the one who has a whacky face.

I was expecting something more out of the block party, but it turns out to be just a mass socializing session where people congregate and you got to be tipsy (or drunk) before going there. I am actually glad to be sober coz there was this guy whom became rather forceful to me during my stay in the party. Like pushing and pulling me to a place despite my repeated rejection. I was rather frightened by him. Oh man, Mingren was fumed by the fact that I was kindda being pushed around by that guy. Urghs. Drunk people are frightening, like these few I have seen yesterday night.
While the party was boring, something interesting happened for that party through… I think the entire school was being notified by this mail.
“UConn Police are investigating an incident of sexual assault that occurred on Saturday morning, September 6, 2008 at about 1:50 a.m. The male perpetrator approached a female from behind as she was walking along the sidewalk to the east of Hilltop Apartments connecting with Alumni Drive. The perpetrator threatened the victim with a weapon and the assault took place in a wooded area adjacent to the walkway. The suspect fled in a southerly direction.
UConn Police are continuing to follow investigative leads…..”
SO, the suspect is still scott-free, in the campus. Darns, the weather is bad enough, now we have to be worry about this still-roaming-freely guy!
Today, our group went for a sushi outing because we generally feel lousy and want to get out of the campus. Raining…and each of us brought an umbrella along. Feels like a little children’s outing. But the walk in the rain was worth it! The sushi was good! I missed using chopsticks! Ordered maki named “wet kiss” and share the spicy and sour soup with Juile..Wow..good service and we all received fortunate cookies after the meal. Mine said-“Things are difficult before they become easy.” It is so true. So true.

The way home was pouring and all of us are drenched, with many having wet shoes and jeans.
The National Weather Service indicates that storm Hanna is likely to produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall sometime Saturday and into Sunday, September 6th and 7th. Winds may gust to 50 mph or more and rainfall totals may approach 6 inches or more in some localized areas of the state during the time period.
We were so drenched that Julie Ness actually said “ I am going to throw myself into the dryer.” Haha…the heavy rain is similar to what we have in Singapore but the volume of rainfall is scary. Despite so, I think I am the least drenched, coz I wore slippers and shorts! Hahah! But along the way back, it was cold. I missed a warm hug. There used to be a pair of arms over me during a bad pour, but now, I am the only one under the umbrella. Never ever imagined living aboard alone, having no family, friends and Ming Ren, but I am glad with what I have gained so far…except the weights. =’(
Anyways, today is THE day! Where I stop being so stubborn in making my life so inconvenience just for the sake of saving money. I have reached my limits after 3 good old weeks. Today, I spent what I should have spent since Day 1.
3 cheers for today!!!
I went into UCOON Co-op and shopped many essential items!
1) A second pillow.
2) A table lamp +bulb
3) A nice scenic poster
4) A tray to house my stationeries
5) Duct tape
6) Post It Notes.
7) Foods!

So..I am really happy that it feels more and more like a home to me now.

What a long entry~
