college station

Ok, let's ignore my previous entry. In the wee hours of the morning, your thoughts tend to run amok and you become a little suicidal haha. Let me start over:

So my wonderful Boran gave me a farewell dinner:


They surprised me with a birthday cake! To celebrate my 21st birthday ahha.
Stalkers in the background. Ok I admit, this picture really is kinda lame haha.

At the airport. T3 leh! Cool ah. Alot of people came to send me off, which I'm really grateful for :) My dear wwf, church buddies, and Boran haha. But I'm still waiting for the other photos.

Pris came straight to the airport after arriving from KL to send me off!

The departure gate at Terminal 3, with mixed feelings. It's the only picture I took when I was travelling. Was either too busy trying to get to the correct terminals or too tired to care about anything else haha.

So after arriving at the airport at College Station, I checked into my hotel and went to zzzz immediately. Woke up at night and went out for dinner with Lip Tong (he's one of the other NUS students on exchange at A&M). We went to this sandwich place. Omg their sandwiches are huge and expensive! Mine costs US$5? And I couldn't finish it (even a zhu has her limits haha). So it's actually not so worth it to eat in the US. Cuz the food is expensive and the portions are so big you can't finish them, so you're effectively wasting your money haha.

Anyway that night, I fell asleep at 8.30pm (RECORD), and woke up at 4am (DOUBLE RECORD)! Yeah, then I couldn't sleep anymore. This jet lag is crazy. It's resetting my body clock. My mum thinks it's good cuz I can finally start cultivating healthy sleeping habits hahah. Cuz last night, I went to sleep at 12.30am and woke up at 6am haha. But anyway it's better for me to wake up early cuz it's the time when everyone's online haha. But WHY DOESN'T ANYONE TALK TO ME. Eh you all automatic abit can haha.

Anyway, so yesterday we walked around the area near our hotel. This place is boring can. Cuz every place is so far away from each other. Plus we have to walk, while everyone else drives. So we couldn't really explore alot of places. The weather was quite good yesterday. Quite warm and sunny haha. I think the most interesting place we went to was the supermarket hah. Coke over here is almost dirt cheap haha.

I like the sky.
The view across the hotel.
Obscenely cheap Hershey's and Reese's bars. But I didn't buy anything. The meals are fattening enough by themselves haha. I can resist temptation!

My hotel room. THe wonderful TV set haha. They have over 90 channels here?? So most of the time I'm just channel surfing, cuz everytime I change the channel, I can't go back to the previous show I was watching cuz I can't remember which channel it was haha.

Toilet! I bathe really early here cuz the water is freezing. Brr.

Oh and last night we went to this Chinese restaurant for dinner. All-you-can-eat for $6.99 haha. THe food was not bad, but of course incomparable to Singaporean food. I miss my laksa, chicken rice and or jian!!

Anyway later we're checking in to the halls. Argh I hate moving cuz I have to pack everything and lug my monster luggage around. Plus this place is huge. Walking is impossible. I think I've said before that the school is practically the whole town. It's true man. Almost every store we visited sells some form of A&M memoribilia. Like tshirts, slippers, mugs etc. And almost everyone here is somehow related to the Uni. Which is quite cool la haha.

Ok I'm off to rot for 2 hours! Watch more tv hah. The coverage on the elections is pretty interesting.

This better be the best thing I ever felt

My days, they better be sunny

It better be nothing but all that I want
