Back in Utopia
So I am back in KAUST! Will be staying here for 2 months, insyaAllah. Tina and I are sharing a house like the last time but we didn’t get our old house back. We are now staying in the Gardens district (the last time we stayed in the Island district) and it is even further away from lab – I’m not sure though, will time my walk to lab on saturday.
It is also far away from the sports centre (gym, pool, bowl) and discovery square. I used to be able to get to those places in 3-7 mins but now I think I take 15 mins by foot? And I don’t see a shuttle stop nearby. Well that’s ok. More walking for me, which is a good thing because after watching 4 seasons of the biggest loser back to back, my goal for this new year is to lose 8 kilos. No, seriously I will do it watch me!!!! Don’t laugh!!
On the bright side, the house that we’re living in is definitely newer than the last one. It is so new that the house is not even shown on the kaust map yet. Plus I am totally loving the decor of the house. The walls are this light teal colour, and the furniture is light teal to match! It is so lovely. The curtains remind me of my crescent uniform though, but not as striking haha. They’re light teal and mustard yellow.
Ah well you can’t really see from the pictures but it is really lovely!
The house is also located such that the big supermarket is on the way home from lab! Which is awesome so I can always have fresh meat and veggies for dinner! I bought fresh beef today which looked soooo awesome and I made black pepper beef for lunch! Needless to say it was yums haha.
As usual I have problems with my room so I blasted ayatul kursi before going to sleep last night and read it only like a hundred times out loud. I also slept with my Quran next to me on the bed haha. Its so freaky you know! Cos I was unpacking and I saw like red stains on the floor by the cupboards that look like blood??? So my imagination started taking me to faraway places and it didn’t help that I was watching Harry Potter on the plane and the face of the ghost in ravenclaw tower when she told harry that her mother’s diadem was defiled with black magic was like imprinted in my mind freaking shit scary.
Obviously I slept with the lights on and only fell asleep at 2am and woke up every hour after that omg. I really don’t know whats my problem with strange rooms but ya it exists.
Hmm okay I am going swimming nao! toodles!
