Well, I didn't really do much today - sat in the room and occasionally went down for meals. After dinner, Chris and I played table tennis with the provided bats before watching The Simpsons. At least that's in working order - you can't rip a table tennis table.

We met up at our usual time of 8:30 in the lobby and headed to the Union karaoke night. This time, Richard, Anthony, Benedict and I performed Bohemian Rhapsody, which I thought went rather well once we all decided what key we were singing in. I think the music had its own ideas, though.

I met Lee Ing there - as I keep saying, I think that's how you spell it. Her English name is "Fanny", but I have to say I prefer the Chinese one. Happy birthday to her - she's a fresher and she's still marginally older than me. We had a conversation by writing down questions to each other on bits of paper rather than trying to be heard above the noise, I understand her writing a little better than her speaking. Her English is still very impressive for someone who's been learning it for as short a time as she has, but particularly above noise it's hard to understand what she's saying. On Karaoke night, of course, it's difficult to understand what _anyone_ is saying. I think she was, er, rather surprised by my Internet name, but nothing more than that.

I walked her home along with another girl just after midnight - an alarm went off just as we left, I don't know what happened there. Billy joined us on the way down. And now I've got to go to bed, then matriculate in the morning.
