MISSING HOME

Trying to enjoy life again.

Has been awhile since I studied at a cafe. NUS has Spinelli! Spinelli with student price! Happy!

But while other people are succumbing to their fetishes



I spend my mornings discussing physio physio and more physio

But all is well, as there is a direct (but fucking long) bus that goes to Holland Village for out-of-campus affordable luxury dining


And life goes on as I try out different fashion style

UPDATE LA UPDATE LA

OK everyone, the ghetto crew finally had the mood to do some updating.

UPDATE #1 I GOT A NEW PHONE! the all new sony ericsson K8000i with 3G and 3.2 megapixel sony cybershot! I shall not post pics of it coz later people jelez...


UPDATE #2 My latest addition to my room:

AMAZING~!

Ok la I took this at IKEA Queenstown. Do you know IKEA is just at most half an hour away from NUS? We go there for furniture therapy and Sweedish balls. We just love their balls, not salty at all LOL.

In fact, my first picture that I took is not me (Pat: narcisstic my foot), but of the lovely couple eng hooi and leong hui! Taken during physiology break.

Notice EH's mata starting to close up while her baby still as attentive.

My lecture days are Mondays and Thursdays. On Mondays, my time is screwed up: 8 am - 8 pm! WITH NO FUCKING BREAK! But on Thursdays 8 am - 6 pm with 12 - 2 pm break in between.


Our favourite position (L-R) Leong Hui, EH and Adeline. Notice LH is always awake LOL

Initially during lunch breaks I would stay in Science, either mugging in the library or wondering around the faculty. But after the holidays I decided to go back to Hall and rest. I finally realise why ADELINE, KELVIN, IVY and CANNING go back during breaks. I thought that it was a waste of time to go back to hall and back for the next class, but now I realised that it is worth EVERY SECOND for that comfy bed of mine.

My parents came down to sign my Subsidary loan shit, brought them to Holland V to have La Mian Xiao Long Bao! (La Min Xiu Long Bao)! My mom loved Holland V so much she called it the Bintang Walk for the suburbs lol


I MISS YOU ALL!!

One hazy saturday morning, I met up with Shin Fei for breakfast. Despite leaving almost next door, I hardly meet her in campus. She stays in Kent Ridge while WE stay in Sheares. My yakun kaya toast kaki and I went hunting for Kaya toast, half boil egg and kopi in the morning on campus. Unfortunately, the stall at Yusof Ishak House ran out of TOAST. KNS settled for Malay style Nasi Lemak in the end. Caught up with Shin Fei with our usual rantings of the people next door. Looks like she has a foreign french speaking dude going after her too! LOL.

She looks prettier now. Not to say that she was ugly in college!

Me, Britts and EH went to Ntiu one saturday evening for a visit. Three Shearites had a different opinion on the hall life there but it was the company that we missed the most. Ntiu is located at Boon Lay while aNUS is at Kent Ridge, about 20 - 30 minutes by train and bus?

Miss having a roommate too. =)

VIVOCITY has opened! It's the latest latest in Singapore! It's like the whole orchard has moved to Vivo, or rather in Malaysian terms, abit like Midvalley LA! The best part was. it is just 20 minutes by bus from NUS! WOOT! Took this at the lobby of Vivocity. This 'shopping traffic policeman' directing people to do shop what where.


Went for movies with Shanta at Vivo GV! Haven't seen her in ages, understandable considering she's in Arts while I'm in Science, and that she's in Eusoff while I'm in Sheares! Vivo GV is so le GRAND! Would say it's better than Cineleisure Orchard now!

We're gorgeous.


Vivocity has this rooftop floor which overlooks the port and Sentosa! Look what stopped by? Superstar Virgo! Probably from KL. It's HUUUGE!!! This rooftop floor will have a gym, some swimming pool thingie concept and probably clubs and cafes?


Team Sheares: Desire. This is our Sports Management Board's theme for the upcoming Inter-Hall Games. Don't you think this looks a bit like the Lost ad? Where they all are posing in front of a blueish backdrop of an island sort? I bought two Team Sheares t-shirt as well, one is 86 while the other 89


For physiology we're assigned group mates for tutorial discussions. I am really glad that I have such enthusiastic and smart-assed mates, till I don't have to do MUCH WORK for presentations. (L-R) Xue Zhen, Mal and Raymond (Yin Teng too! but she left early)

He reminds me of that dude in Star Wars :P


ADIZERO IS OUT! Don't know how much will it cost though. Sudden urge to jog the other day, so went to Queenstown by myself since my old shoes broke. Bought a pair of Brooks for running worth 130 bucks!

"Because 2689 talked me into running" This ad is super inspiring too!


We rarely see each other too! Britts is super the ON in hall LA! He is in Block Comm, and recently 'elected' International Welfare Dir for next year's orientation!

Foreign talent is super apparent in hall too.

I'm also in Sheares Hall Amateur Radio (SHAM)! My co-partner, Fangyi and I call it the SHAM-less show (for obvious reasons). We recently interviewed two peeps from the JCRC - Ian (media) and Abhi (vice chair), both foreigners.

They're just naturalist



I noticed that Singaporeans tend to scream when they see creatures stray. Noticed these two kittens along the Scienc corridor the other day when people started shrieking. Hello come to Malaysia and you see these and dogs ok! In fact they even scream when it comes to lizards. I guess we often see them on our walls till we are so immuned by their presence!


And WE LOVE NUS MAIL! *sweats* They supposedly concluded that from a recent survey conducted by them and where almost all (rarely) nus peeps partipated. But the good thing is - storage up to 1 GB! WOOT! More nonsensical, repetitive ads and memos!


To end it. Sheares, Pharmacy and NUS life have been very busy. Despite academics, I am expected to be active and not have time for myself. Although I'm not whining (yet), there will be a moment where I start going gila. There's the ongoing Sheares Arts Festival this two weeks, missed the choir peformance yesterday, but managed to watch Wen Jia (my neighbour the vocalist) and the legendary Kenneth the guitarist playing. Not bad, played nice songs.

That's all folks! Next update: My Mamak Kakis and the TNS Bus D Driver!
