3rd week of school

hm it's already the end of 3rd week of school. So FAST! Work has finally started to accumulate, I have test this coming wednesday, lab report due on friday, test and an assignment due on the following monday. Die.....

wah Phoebe how come you are not taking French?? oh btw i think my french is not bad. HAHA. although i think i pronounce half the words wrongly.

hm I think there's nothing else interesting I can blog about, coz life is pretty much about school nowadays (how sad). So yeah. haha..

my cool tutor

I WANNA BLOG TOO! actually just wanna brag about my Business Law tutor, the one who i complained about for being a slacker and canceling class last week... went for his first class today and woooooooooooo... i tell you, he's like the combination of the Heath Ledger's Joker and Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow... hahaha im not joking, he's like that weird weird type. from the look to the behaviors and stuff, he really reminds me of the Joker first, then Jack Sparrow! and he has a mixed accent, can switch from British to American to Singlish, generally he speaks really good English cuz he used to be a lawyer i think... and i found out he's actually a bit famous for RETIRING AT THE AGE OF 37... now he's only doing part-time jobs and enjoying life, the papers actually wrote about his early retirement... haha and his lesson was really fun... i was laughing a lot... hehehe he has suddenly lifted Business Law from my most disliked subject to most-looked-forward-tutorial now... why isn't he a lecturer?? T_T

anyway im getting SUPER busy with Business stuff... tutorials and lots of group projects... like every week.. and we're having this fake stock trading thing, using fake money and REAL stock prices! so like see who earns the most or something haha... oh wells... i totally have no idea what's going on with the stock market so a bit worried but oh well... its quite fun to spend a fake 100,000k haha...

yep and i've been going to lots of welcome teas for random clubs too...quite tired...but at least keeps me busy! :D:D

oh ya tina! i wanna come for the FREE GUITAR CONCERT! haha!:P

Hi Pheebz! send some cheesecake please.. and hi mae yue! see you around science fac! haha.
ok anyway... school is boring so far.. doing lots of stuff that is similar to a level bio and chem.. starting to get to more cheem stuff but the essence is still the same.. lecture today was about structure of protein and another one on gene transfer in bacteria.. and NJ lecture notes are like so much better.. haha.. oh and French is horrible! it's super difficult to pronounce.. I'm to embarrased to say any word coz it sounds horrible...

oh and i've been going for some CCA welcome teas.. joining guitar already! It's so fun!!!! the songs they play are like so much nicer than NJ ones.. having concert on 17 sept (it's free!) so practice is like twice a week.. and i think i'm gonna be volunteering in NUH (the hospital) and thinking of going Myanmar or Cambodia for CIP in Dec (which means that I can't go home, so see how).. and joining the Catholic Student Society also..

oh and another news... I found out what happen to Xiaodan and Wenqian!!! haha.. met Xiaodan on the way back to PGP ytd.. she's doing Industrial Design, staying in PGP.. and Wenqian is doing Food Science and Technology staying in Raffles Hall..

Blah Blah

Hello earthilinga!!! I am in my pre-orientation now. Playing with some computer programmes that I have no idea what they are about. Anyways, it's so dry here that my skin had become a tree bark!!!!!!! (Drowns in my own tears... intentional tear secretion to prevent the crackling sound I hear when all my collagen tears apart).... Arrrgghhhhhh.... I miss the tropical sun and the tropical wind and the tropical heat that make my fats leak!!!!! Oh, and everyone here has a Macbook!!!! What's with the MAC????? There are hardly any computer programme for the MAC in VN!!!!!! Bleah bleah bleah!
I have to leave now! Ta dah!

Meeeeee !!!!!

Yoz people! I bet you meezzzeed me A LOT!!!! Van, don't be bored. Go shopping or somethin? How are you guys doing in school? Having lessons and homework alr? Argh, I heard some singaporeans here say that the workload here is even heavier than that in Singapore!!!!!!!!!! And I have to take compulsory Writing composition I this sem and I heard got this singaporean guy who worked his brains and beauty sleep off just to get an A!!!!! Arrrgghhh!!! DIE!









Anyways, the flight was ok (a lot of turbulance, but I was surprisingly calm.... right Tina??). The Japanese air stewardees were so cute and bubly, so japanese!!! Hahahahaha! The food on Japan airlines was good! Had sushi!









Anyways, I arrived yesterday afternoon and skipped my lunch (had a big breakfast on the plane anyways). And I went with 2 other girls (1 a freshman from china and one a senior here) to Target to get stuff (went to Target today too!!! Spent like 100 US on fundamentally domestic things). And we went back and ordered pizza and guess what! We missed our pizza delivery guy and we had to starve!









There is a construction right outside my dorm and it woke me up super early this morning at 7.30. I slept at 12 yesterday after I finished unpacking! And guess what! The jet lag was so bad that I felt sleepy again at 9. But of course I didn't sleep cause I had to go to the bank to set up an account!!! Ok, and here comes the bank story:









Well, my school has a Bank of America and unfortunately, it was quite small. Before today,, I've heard nightmare stories that people come at 10 and had to wait until 1 to get their banking done! And guess what.... it was TRUE!!!!!! We arrived at 11.15 (I met a singaporean from RJ today too) and were told that we needed to wait, so we went for a tour and grabbed lunch! so at around 2, we got our turn. BUT....!!!!.... I never thought that American banks were SOOOOOOOO confusing!!!!!!!! We ended up having 2 hours of explanation and still weren't able to fully comprehend what the banking entails! So I ended up setting up 3 accounts under my name!!!!



Ok, here are some of the pics of the campus! Sorry for the low quality of the picture-taking! I was too lazy to take properly and photoshop! There are nicer ones to come!!!






Tokyo Narita airport at 6.30 in the morning. One word description: desolated! The shops were completely closed and there was no one in sight! I was like: "This can't be Tokyo! I got on the wrong plane!"

This is the "Washington university in St. Louis" wall outside the dorm area! It's cool coz the uni is connected to the outside world through roads that lead directly to the main road (unlike a hem .... NUS, NTU, blah blah). They have these "sign walls" ouside every building that faces the road.

The nice grass patch and the I-don't-know-what yet buildings (I think the further one is the math building).

Nice view again

The nice ceiling near the tower they always show in pictures.

Cheescake factory!!!! This is in one of the shopping malls nearby called the Galleria. It has the best cheesecake in St. Louis.

borrreedddd
