BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE

Sunday, August 19, 2007

the days just past very unknowingly. been a long time since i blog huh? i cant really rmb what i do on a day to day basis ...
probably more yoga, belly dancing, combat classes. which are super enjoyable. after weeks of no one asking me out (boo-hoo! i'm so unlove, no one bothers to find me) hahaha joking! (i do spend considerable time with my mother, each day to yoga class and lunch together plus shopping trips too ... lovely~)

so on monday i went for iceskating with yawen sis! heh~ the rink was pretty empty ... so i can freely 'try' to improve my skating skills ... like trying to move backwards (the secret is through moving your bum from side to side!) it was really enjoyable catching up with her! :D we promised to go do some healthy activities every week. hopefully i can bring her to one of the yoga classes this week :D

on tuesday, NUSAF (northwestern university singaporeans and friends!) had a get-together dinner. i get to know fellow NU-goers and seniors and alumnus! the seniors tell us a lot about all the nitty-gritty of NU like:
1. is a 6 months winter school. frm november to april is freezing cold (sometimes colder than artic) at -29degree celcius!
2. school food is okay till the end of the first week. cuz they repeat every week. it becomes really grosss
3. NU has no fashion sense. being the winter school, everyone donned the same down jacket for the entire fall/spring period (4 years of school) and cover every exposed skin (except the eye area) with scarfes and muffs ... so everyone recognised each other from their jackets?!
4. engin school is one of the biggest low storey building in the world. it has many basements, windowless. so the point is that, once you enter class in the morning at 7am and leave school at 5pm. you wont see DAYLIGHT AT ALL!!! cuz is just dark dark dark ... 5pm and is midnight dark
so my dorm mentor is also a singaporean, psc scholar. and my international mentor also live at my dorm. everyone just converts at ISRC! cuz is the BEST DORM EVER!!!! WOO~~
i seriously cant wait to go!!!

rika came back! and me, sui, den and lele went dinner together with her :D it was sort of farewell to me too! i 'snobbishly' declare that i'm not going to miss any of them when i go to the states. (well it was my plan! to feel 'detached' and adapt faster to the states and not affect my moral from missing things back home ....) it was a nice dinner to catch up with things etc ... small 2c3/4c2 gathering! ha! we planning to visit crescent this coming week too! i cant wait to eat the lor mee and vegetarian stall bee hoon :/

this afternoon, perk initiated a 'farewell lunch' for me. very small group of us. fred, chunjek, neo turned up at essential brew holland v. not a bad lunch! the dessert, apple crumble is amazingly delicious! the guys even wanted to pay for my meal (but i decline heh! you all have to treat me when i come back to visit singapore! not now ...) so we talk quite a lot of stuff. army, school, medicine, overseas, fellow classmates etc ... i think we stayed there for 3 hours? they even started betting whether i will get 'laid' first / job first / married first / children first / divorce first / plastic surgery VERSUS other class girls! -.-""" but it was a good fun. appreciates the intention to give me a 'farewell lunch' hah .. thanks guys :D hopefully can meet up with the rest of S17 *ahem!* bfr i leave.

so i was telling everyone (family and friends) ... if circumstances allow, i dont want to come back to singapore for holidays. maybe drop by for 3-5 days but not for long stay. i rather spend my holidays doing summer studies at japan or france or even china OR go travelling around the states/europe. and i also thought that it will be good to start my work/career there at the states. plenty of experiences. everyone said that i will sure miss my family, singapore food etc ... haha! i'm praying hard that my family will visit me often at america or else, come join me for my holidays. (my engin course is a 3 years course ...) what is home really to a 'settler' like me? i have officially 3 bedrooms at singapore, jakarta and batam. soon enough, another bedroom at evanston, northwestern univeristy ... i'm fated to be a traveller? i didnt even stay a decade at singapore...
of course friends and families are important. i definitely dont want to lose touch or contacts of all the dear people who have came into my life at one point or another (MSN! SKYPE! EMAIL! SNAIL MAILS! DONT LIE THAT SUCH TECHNOLOGY CANT HELP YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME!). but i shall treat this as an adventure? 3-5 years adventure?
i will come back to a home where i'm definitely most comfortable at ...

oh yeah ... my roommate has been the most enthusiastic of all ... she has been msg-ing me pretty often. with long long long long mails! :D she got us a fridge already! and even promised to give me an international call this coming week to chit-chat and all ... woo~ plus, i think our personality is very identical! no wonder NU put us together! haha :D hopefully we can be great roomies!!!!! yipee ...
hmmm what shall i talk to her about over the phone? colour coordination of our room? or more of our home background? or things to buy and not to buy? what you ppl think?!

i finished my maths / chem / school-rules tests .. didnt do well for chem .. poof! oh well ... i hope it doesnt affect that much, "i got merit for chem 's'?!" now back to full trottle shopping!!! i still havent get my bedsheets after people telling me that R H L aint a good brand.

now .. toodleS!!!
princess stephanie ordered the kingdom to date her everyday!

p.s: i'm crashing N U S tmr!!!! cant wait! 8am lecture~ waaaaaahhhhhhh hurrah! :P

- I guess this is a beautiful mistake too...# ;
