- ohikkoshi: part 2 -
i used to take TX from Akihabara to go to Tsukuba, but today i took a different route! it costs slightly less (like maybe 200 yen) and faster, if you manage to go on the right timing that is.. lots of train transfers, and the fact that i went at the wrong time increased the number of transfers further - got on a local train at Kitasenju (1,000 yen to Tsukuba) and i had to change to a rapid one at Nagareyama Ootakanomori.
so what made me go to Tsukuba in the first place? to provide free-labour for moving, of course. it's Adeline, the person who's moving, and her 4 helpers - Louise, Cora, Yuko and i.
reached Ichinoya dorm only to find that they were still packing. slowly we helped wrapping up boxes and moved things downstairs. this might sound like an easy job but considering the amount of things she had.. well, i don't wanna imagine how many boxes will i have by the time i move out of my dorm. after getting the room checked we (Louise and i) had lunch at convenience store Coco while Adeline went to collect her rent-a-truck.
it took the truck (not me, i slacked after the first shift) 2 trips to move everything to the new apartment. had fun playing with wires (we're supposed to fasten the goods so that they wouldn't fly out of the truck when it jerks halfway through. although, i did naughtily anticipated the wire to snap and imagined the mattress prancing across the zebra-crossings, but it didn't happen anyway), while we (or rather, our truck) blocked the Chinese newcomers who were trying to move a fridge into the dorm.
Louise and i were made to do "full-service" - to carry everything from the 2nd batch into the apartment without assistance - including the fridge and the big-ass chest. because we fooled around before that *grin*. somehow we didn't whine about anything and accomplished our "mission" swiftly and efficiently *fuiyo~ show off sia*
anyhow, dinner that night was very nice. had tandoori chicken, keema curry with rice, cheese naan and free fried crab chips, after an hour-long wait for Adeline and Yuko to arrive, who apparently got lost and went shopping at JUSCO. also tried lassi for the 1st time and i love it (cuz its totally yogurt).
we spent the night at Cora's mansion - 3LDK, what more can i say? lots of rooms, spacious kitchen, cozy dining space, lovely bathroom (but i think we clogged her toilet, oops).. watched Heroes while drinking before sleeping finally before midnight.
and now i have to anticipate the 3rd season in fall 2008. grrr..
