My New Home + House Warming Party!

WELCOME TO UNILODGE
on Swanston
.
Hey everyone, this is my new home in Melbourne!! After being evicted from College Square due to the absurd increase in rent. Yes.. to protect me from the increase in rent, I was simply kicked out.
Anyway, this new place is really convenient! Situated just beside Melbourne Central and across the road from Victoria State Library and QV Mall, it's like a stone's throw away from..EVERYTHING.
The building's about 30 years plus old now.. so conditions arent exactly pristine, but at least we have a habitable room, after much help from the cleaning and maintenance department.
.
I'm sharing the same 3 BEDROOM apartment with 2 of my friends, Rachel and Jasmine to keep down costs. Things are definitely more lively than living alone back in College Square.
.
Even the area is more noisy at night, compared to College Square on Lygon (with the cemetery as your neighbour.. I'm pretty sure you'll WANT it to STAY quiet at night).

House Warming Party!!!

Nothing better than making your new house/apartment look 20 years older than it really is by throwing a house warming party!!

There was FOOD.

Notice how bright it is outside at 8p.m.
On the menu: Roast Chicken, Salmon, Mixed Vege and... Minced Meat vege?
We also engaged the services of live performer, Choy Haozhen - Our resident professional singer.

Chhheeerrs *hic*
Let's sit here and look pretty while the rest clean up and do the dishes! Tee-heeeee..

That's a drumstick in my hand..
Excluding me: From left: Carolyn, Rachel, Jasmine, Yiwen, Haozhen
No, the girl on the right is NOT a clown. It's Jasmine. Door Gift collection: Each guest was given an Easter Bunny on their way out (all sponsored by Schweetie Jasmine)
Yay! Our house is sufficiently warmed up now!
It's a roaring success!! - Many people took turns to sit on our dirty sofa (the one WITHOUT the bedsheet over it)! It's now clean enough for us to use it =)
