I kinda miss home, home meaning, Singapore. Its the first night in the dorm, I was a tad bit awkward with my dorm mate but i guess things are going better, she is studying chinese and political science ( if am not wrong, I can't exactly understand her ). I hope we get closer though, I am abit awkward with such stuff.

Mama is in her 12hr transit and if am not wrong she still has 5 hours more to go. I kinda miss her =( thankful Dec am going back.

Oh well pretty much tire myself out =| Found a jogging mate with the girl 2 doors down! Wahahaha, she runs alot, her roomate sings >.< its kinda cool ya!

Gonna zone out now, pretty much beat!~

I went down to Edinburgh late today noon with Niq and Yvonne and our parents, its nearly an hour drive from Bloomington. It is like so huge, and having 2 girls like Yvonne and me, we went gaga! As in literary gaga. I am planning to loot some Coach when I am going back Singapore, its expensive but well its still cheaper than those in shops in Singapore. We shopped for a few stuff, went to some cosmetic shop and I looted a Clinique Rich Texture Blush in Rich Twany and a Clinique High Impact Eye Shadow in Shameless and including tax that cost like USD$24 thats awfully cheap, we spent nearly an hour there before proceeding to a perfume shop and I got myself Perry Ellis' Reserve for women, it has this nice fresh smell which I like, Paris Hilton's new perfume ain't that bad too! But overall I prefer this and it cost me about USD$24.

We went on to a couple of shops and I ended up with more loots and having to spend USD$150 for a Gap sweater, a T-Shirt, a pants and a polo from aeropostale, a watch from Timberland which was 50% off, a mattress pad and those above. Its a long time since i did so much shopping , felt uber happy! Tml gonna go take a look at Fridge and microwave muhahhaa.

My Roomate is this girl who is doing and exchange study in Indiana for a year till May 2007, she is from Nagoya! I haven't been there before, hopefully am able to go there next summer if am able to save up. Her name is Nagisa Otake, so cool right. Am just so uber excited about meeting her. I hope i can clique real well with her! Ok am off for now, churchy tml morning!

So here is a pic if my loots!

Missing You
by John Seabrook
My heart aches within from missing you,
My lips long for the feel of kissing you,
Right now all I need is to gently touch your skin,
To look into your eyes and see deep within,
Just one warm embrace,
Just to look upon your face,
Just one little touch,
From the one I love so much,
If I could gaze upon your smile,
For just a little while,
To know that you miss me too,
As I'm thinking of you,
To hear the sound of you breathe,
Knowing you'll never leave,
To see you walk up to me,
Then embrace you tenderly,
To just be with the one who's sent my heart reeling,
And brought about this downpour of emotion and feeling,
I sit here alone in my office tonight,
And pray that somehow this all turns out right,
I've never been one to do more taking than giving,
I'm not well off but I work hard for a living,
I've told you many thoughts that weren't borrowed or bought,
And in lifetime, who would have thought,
That I have found someone who was just meant for me,
I can't explain the magic or why this should be,
But there is one thing that I know for certain,
That this just ain't over till one of us draws the final curtain,
For I've seen an angel and I want you to know,
If it's my choice to make, I'll never let you go,
Don't know what life holds, maybe there's no reason or rhyme,
To think you may be mine in a matter of time,
And though I cannot touch you and we are now apart,
My Love, you do dwell, so deep within my heart.

This is one of the most beautiful poems I have read in a long time. I loved it. It said everything I was feeling, but could not put into words. I miss him so much, the distance the feeling. Him and my other friends ~>.<~

Yesterday was advising and move-in day, I was quite upset by the fact there is no mass common lounge =( but I guess that the level 1 and 2 lounges are more than enough, other than that, I am pretty pleased with the position of my room hehehe! Its near the laundry and around the corner is the Bathroom with the water dispenser infront of my room. So convenient hehe.

Advising was quite good, everything went quite good. I got most of the courses I wanted except for one which I seriously hope I could get =\ need to brush up on my math due to not doing math for like a few years and besides Sats that I did last dec and no math practice thereafter esp factorisation and logs, that was stagnant for the past 4 years >.<

Here are some shots of the things ard, most of them are still in my cam, kinda too lazy coz my wires are in my big suitcase and now its at the dorm -_-"

The highway view from the holiday inn airport select, that we stayed on our first night.

How cute are the checks lol... slyvester and tweety!

Another! Classic Pooh.

Hehe the soap from travelodge, does it look familiar *grinz*

View from the parking lot at 9++ pm, the sunsets very late here during summer so the nights are short =| its beautiful ain't it.

I guess thats it for now till i actually move into the dorm and settle dwn!

Aight so.. Orientation.. Well lets say it din reali start out too good. First the computer kinda screwed up pretty much. So most of us who came for the 9am orientation had to go for the orientation at 6pm. Like HUR! 6pm. We had like time from 9.30am till 6pm before we could do anything, so this is like a typical BLUE Monday. So we went ard did my bank, photocopy and stuffies, and i got lost as usual on going back up, theres so little directions or rather theres limited signs on where is what.

We ended up watching Devil wears Prada, its pretty nice, the cinema is pretty far like 15 min car drive. Somehow i don't reali think its worth paying so money for a car + insurance n stuff but sometimes we do need to get around, so pretty kinda hard. I guess am gonna work on campus after my second sem in class. Cella was telling me that i should get a Job for extra cash, am hoping i can save up tons during college n get scholarships and stuff >.<

Tml is gonna have some crazy stuff, maths test, tb screening and stuff, am pretty much drained but made a few new friends =D.

Aight gonna zone out now <3

so... this is what i been kinda looking forward to, or rather the only big change in my life so far. It felt like my life just started, coz from now onwards i have to survive on my own. Live my own make friends and everything anew, and i am determined to make this work! Everything seems so far but its a great change than Singapore's hectic society, though i must say that i quite miss Singapore. Everything seems so close as in walking distance, maybe also the reason that i lived there for quite sometime, a good 15 years.

Like thania said, i will get a culture shock. I did.. its scary, everything is so far, quiet, slow and kinda more relax... but also a tad bit more expensive. Was looking for cable for my scanner, i bought one for my printer for 8 bucks and here ... its 31.99 how expensive is that -.-" i guess later onwards i'll go with Denise and her friend to get my phone and stuffies. Monday is orientation hope things would be much better after i sign my housing contract and stuff it would be easier on stuff.

Jet lag is getting to me, its like 1+ am here and ard 1+ pm sg and am pretty much awake argh oh well my memory is failing me =.= due to the lack of concentration =(

Got another ring this time round after i complained about the small 2 tooth chip on the ring *sniffles* my expression changed when i got on the bus and i was fiddling around with the ring only to realise a deep scratch tons of small scratch and 2 dents! This time round i made sure i got a surgical steel ring, that would do much of the trick for a user like me, Raf got one too hehe *grinz wide* and it suits him very much.

Time ticks away as i have a day + a few hours left in sg, till prolly december holidays, school is gonna start and everything seems so blury~ time does pass very fast.I am pretty much scared, maybe coz the new enviroment and suchs and also to the uncertain future...

Had xiao long bao just now and the one at din tai feng (think this is the spelling) its good! *nodsnods* a must try hehe not oily, smooth and great! The only bad point is that the skin gets hard fast due to the lack of oil >.<" but its much healthier hehe. The fried rice is great and so is the stew beef, we had quite alot of food and it only sums up to approx S$40 for the 3 of us, was great and filling!

The Lake House makes me sniffle abit, i would say its good... imagine~ esp the house! Its like WOAH, i wanna live in that kinda house, glass, small, comfy, the bad thing is privacy and +++ stalkers hehe~

Aight gonna hit the sack after burning the rest of the stuff~ *paw prints*

Sales sales! Initially we wanted to go sentosa yesterday but somehow we kinda dismissed the idea due to not wanting to spend so much, but we ended up spending more than that *poutz* G2000 was having some what of a great sale, I bagged a blazer, a skirt , 2 shirt and one shirt for Raf, and my tab was S$140 quite worth I must say, I had a total savings of more than S$300, how cool is that hehe! If you are wondering how is that happening, well the blazer at normal price is S$159 and now its S$49 hehe so that's like a S$101 worth of discount. Hehe am sure many of you are wide eyed now, if I was working I would definitely purchase more but too bad am not.. I bought 2 more stuffs which was great sale 2 for S$49.90 and one more cute Victorian top for S$20 it was on sale too. Now am extremely contented *grins wide* with my splurge though it kinda add up till S$207. This is more than I spend on CNY shopping lol!

I finally got a new comp and new casing for mom's and an external hdd on Monday, hehe yeah finally an external hdd, but it kinda cost me S$129 I was hoping it would be lesser cos my coussy got it for a tad bit more than that a couple of years before, so I guess the price did not go down that much. Was looking at mp3 players and the iriver clix and on both Iaudio A2 and IAudio 6 i've been rather satisfied with IAudio and I think that the voice recording is way cool, coz of the sensitivity its much clearer!

6 more days including today till I fly off, kinda scared, kinda worried, but mainly i'll miss a lot of ppl =( but fret not! Will be back to indulge in sales again! hehe

Anyway remmeber the zoo photos I mentioned you can actually go catch a glimpse of it here.I somewhat realized that I still have not edited the Thailand trip I went on -_-"~ lazy me oh well hehe aight gonna zone out tata ~
