Household Needs and My New Roommate

Readership went well today. I had maybe one hard class but having the discussion class with the older students at the end helps a lot. I don't have to put so much energy into the end of the day. The parents are starting to get use to me I think as well as some have already started talking to me about their children and have been making a point to say hello to me. I finally got my bank notice from Hang Seng bank but when I went that afternoon to pick up my card, they told me that it still hasn't arrived. Afterwards I went to find this pair of Adidas shoes I saw while shopping with Patsy and Ada. They were not the same as I pictured it, and I am still debating about buying them. My priority is to stock my new place with household items so I went to Pricerite in Causeway Bay and with Pheobe and Ernie's help I bought a summer quilt/comforter ($79.90 HKD), two pillows ($99 HKD for both), and a little 1.9 L water jug ($29.90 HKD). We went to eat out at some famous Macau style restaurant started by someone's 4th wife or something like that. It was so so. Pheobe and Erine have been great and I have been growing closer to them. They asked me to work on the reader-ship.com webpage so I will be working with Erine on it. Erine is a good person (INFP) and actually a little famous since he designed a kind of "Ugly Doll". He does a lot of illustration for Cosmo magazine. My new roommate has been really good. We got to bond a little late last night when I got home. She lived in Montreal for a period of time (but born in HK). She is fluent Chinese/English/French so it makes things really easy for me to communicate. She has been so helpful. I heard the basic story of our other roommate. Apparently she is very unreasonable and a typical HK women. The roommate I bond with had an accident nearly a month ago and has difficulty walking and lying down, so hopefully I can help her out around the house. We started off on the right foot so hopefully we can grow the relationship well. I have bonded well in the past well with my roommates and it makes living a lot easier. The two girls are not talking, but I guess since I moved in here they haven't been fighting. She choose me specifically to be her roommate because I am a guy and because I am detached from the Hong Kong culture (I am "Jook Sing"). Now all I need is my bed and I'll be set. I have a hard time getting a good night's sleep on this floor. It was a little bit better now that I have the comforter.
