my official first post from New Jersey USA !!!

Damn, it has only been 4 days and things are pretty rough for me. On 3 May 2010, i arrived at the airport hoping to get to my accomodation asap (as it was near midnight already). I called my employer, but somehow I just cant get through it! I started to freak out on the train, thinking that I have to sleep out at the train station till the next morning. I attempt to borrow a cell phone from others, but either theirs were out of batt, or they were too drunk that they freak me out. Thankfully, my employer treated my previous email (before i left for US) seriously, and waited at the train station for me .. even though I was 1 hour late! .. I arrived only at 1.30am .. a sign of relief.

Then I reached the apartment. It looks like some freaking ghost apartment. Door knobs were fallling apart, and the walls were so thin that I could hear everything above me. Not to mention, I was the only one person in that whole big apartment. I set off the next morning to the beach to find my boss, but the warm weather soon cause me to have gastric (as i forgotten i didnt really eat much on the plane too) .. so i went back to the apartment and grab a energy bar for lunch (the only food i had). Then i went off to the beach again, and thankfully I managed to find my boss. I told him I desperately needed food, so off we went to the supermarket .... It was soon dinner time, and I attempted to cook instant noodles (the only other food i brought to the US) ... In less than 10 seconds after I on the stove, the fire alarm went off .. shit! And so ... I ate my half-cooked noodles for dinner and gulp down a few mouthful of milk to keep myself full.

Soon, a few roommates arrived. I was happy ... for a moment. They were hungry too and so I had to bring them to the supermarket which was a 30 minutes walk from my apartment. They managed to get their food, and soon we settled back at our apartment. The next day I went to the beach with them to meet their boss. It was only then my boss told me that we wont be working together, as they had no apartment and had to bunk in ours temporarily. Then I accompanied them to the supermarket again (yes again..) so that they could make dinner. For some reason, I seemed to get tired easily by 7pm so i took a nap. The crazy girls, perhaps full of energy after getting their food started partying out in the living room and kitchen. Now the whole fridge is full of their stuff, and as usual, they love keep half eaten stuff in there! All the tables and floor are full of their bread crumbs and cakes ... well done! I wish they would just take away their mess with them when they leave.

So I have been eating, sleeping and spending the past few days without a job :( ... My job starts tomorrow, and hopefully everything would be fine and till my other roommates come ..........

Oh ya, did i forgot to say i have no freaking internet in my apartment!!!! The only internet is from Macdonalds ... a 30 minutes walk away ... So i guess i have to eat Macdonalds once a week!
