moving to birkbeck court

yesterday everyone had to move out by 10am. we have to leave james blyth court so the juniors can move in next week. there's eelynn with our stuff outside jbc, and other people's stuff all around. so much stuff! we had to wait til 2pm before we could get keys to our new place at birkbeck court so we just hung around and also skipped lunch.

we finally got our keys and our place is on the top (4th) floor! :( the guys helped us lug our stuff up and then we also helped them with theirs. urghh jbc was so much better. one apartment here has 6 rooms (jbc had 4) and some people are sharing rooms. the rooms and kitchen/living room area, etc are all smaller. here's our corridor.

here's my room. so tiring, have to pack, move out, move in, unpack. my bedsheets are missing coz i just did my laundry.

my internet and phone didn't work yesterday coz they plugged the phone cable into the port-thingy for the internet and i plugged my lan cable into the other hole. luckily i decided to try switching them and it worked.
the stupid room doors automatically lock unless you push a small button up. it's so easy to get yourself locked out if you just forget to push the little button. eelynn got locked out yesterday before we found out about the button.
the toilet with oh, the horror! separate taps for hot and cold water!! (the cold water tap is partially cut off in this picture) nooo!!!! also, the lousy toilet cannot flush properly. when you flush, the tissue still remains sometimes. and this morning i had to flush like 5 times to get my shit down. wth.

the tiny claustrophobic shower. and the door to the shower room cannot lock properly.

there are two sinks behind the shower, one of which has a permanently leaking hot water tap.

the living room with other people's stuff everywhere. spot the tv.
and finally, the kitchen. at least there are 2 fridges.
