The first is that my housemate and I moved. So I touched down, got to my house, did not unpack and went to sleep in my housemate's room, because the next 24 hours is just more packing and moving of things. I didn't sleep much in that 48 hours, and apparently the house has loads and loads of junk. We were packing as we were moving. I think we started early in the morning and we finally finished moving the next day at around 4am. I believe I slept on the floor that night because I haven't unpack yet and I didn't want to sleep on an un-sheeted naked mattress. I also did not shower as I was just plain knackered. The next few days after that is just a bunch of unpacking and assembling of things we disassembled during the move or some new furniture we bought. Turns out, as really cheap students, we don't have lots of the high end tools that made the assembling easy. Luckily though, we moved into a more "family" neighbourhood, and they have a bunch of amazing tools that we borrowed.

The next big thing is more of a lifestyle change than a physical one. This is also the part where I got knee-deep into anime. It all started with my friend recommending me Doki Doki Literature Club. It was free, and I heard it was short, so I decided to try it out. The game isn't even made by Japanese, it's just a Japanese visual novel style game made by some American dude who plays Smash Bros. That was the impetus needed for me to give anime a second chance. (I used to watch anime on TV back home, but the constant advertisement breaks, horrible timing, lousy choices of anime, and horrible Malay dubs made me lose interest in anime)
I've heard Kill la Kill was good. I've always seen and heard reference of it, so I decided to give it a try. Even right now, I believe I use more Crunchyroll than Netflix.

Lastly, at the end of the year, the Giantess came and visit St John's for a week. The weather was a mess, but it doesn't matter because when in St John's, it's the company that counts. We couldn't do much due to weather constraints and basically, the lack of activity to do in a snow stormy St John's. But it was nice! Despite that, we try to do our best with the hand that we were dealt with, and I had lots of fun! We celebrated the new years together and there we go, time for 2018!
