Home is where the heart is. True. But ain't one's heart in one's body? And what if that body wasn't at home but surviving elsewhere away from home. Does that somewhere fall into the category of 'home'? And does it mean that that is where one's heart is?
Increasing prices, fines and inefficiency aren't just economic terms and concepts but annoying situations that Hans Basil, John Bow and Nick Ivans had to face- increasing hostel fees, ridiculous electricity fines that couldn't be proven and inefficient hostel management which seems to skive. Apparently, all these have taken a toll on the trio and it simulated a call of action from their friend Ean- to look for a new place they can call home, one without pathetic deficiencies. Together with Ean, Leroy and another friend Rodger, the three guys decided to check out the condo just beside theirs-seemingly a slap in the face for the current condo they were living in.
After a meeting with the agent, the 6 friends had the opportunity to view the unit they thought they could call home in the near future. And after the viewing, they wished it would never be their home, with the unit in a complete mess and the size of the rooms a disaster. Rodger held a glimmer of hope for the remaining 5 though, informing them that there were other units they could rent, according to the agent. During lunch, everyone, excluding Hans, discussed about the new unit and price. Hans' mind was being haunted by the cryptic phone call he had recieved at 4am the past morning and the disastrous repercussions it could cause. On top of that, he had the little 'blast from the past' situation to worry about. With final exams just a few days away, will all these unwanted distractions lead to a spectacular flop in the finals or will he rally back and emerge victorious?
The advent of Final exams sensibly leads to less activity in and around campus, with the only thing one can see is the multitude of sudents studying in the library or foyer. Among those studying were Nick Ivans, Angie Flo and a mysterious 'someone' whos never been spotted before. Just who was this person who was studying with Nick and Angie? How did she appear in the picture?And for those who just cannot study in the library, like Hans and John, they had to resort to studying in their hostel, amidst all the untimely distractions around them. And as if that wasn't bad enough, they had to struggle to study as they battled their self-discipline and faltering friendship. For Hans, it was only another burden on his creaking shoulders.
After days of secretive contact with a certain Kia Jens, Hans had the chance to let off some steam and enjoy a night out as the former invited the latter to a Halloween party. Both were coy on the issue of attending the party, as neither knew what to expect from the other, and in the end, Hans deicided to bail as he couldn't shrug off the problems enveloping his tired mind. Coincidentally, Kia had also decided to bail. Something seems to be happening with the two. Was Hans just getting back at Sanya for eyeing another guy so soon after their break up? Or was he sub-consciously living up to his reputation? From Poor Boy to Play Boy? Things certainly seem to be heating up.
