haha.. totally slacked through my first week.. ended up nodding off at some afternoon lectures since i've 8am lectures everyday!! eekz.. but tess and i are really living it up.. strolling around during our long breaks and enjoying ice-cream on a warm day, or sitting at ST David's cafe enjoying our morning tea.. or even having tea and biscuits in her apartment or mine!! we're like so slack as compared to the other students here.. many pple here are really mugging and its only the first wk of sch!! eekz..

workload seems heavy.. stats gotta read journal articles!!! yucks.. nv liked doing readings and stats nv had readings in NUS!! yikes!! and bayesian stats gotta lead discussion on readings.. sianz!! hope its not my turn next wk..

tml is march 1!! yay!! and in another 3 wks it'll be easter holiday!! i'll be able to go travelling den!! haha!! looking forward to the trip!! tts wad sep is for rite?? =p

we're so settled in tt we're kinda shocked tt we have only been here for 3 weeks.. we felt like we have been here for ages!!! guess tts bcuz we're so used to the relaxed lifestyle now.. anyway!! tess and i are proud tt we cooked tau-suan yest!! we were esctatic tt it looked and tasted liked tau-suan.. lol.. and next wk we're gg to make sushi!! haha.. we decided to make sth new every wk.. need to improve our culinary skills.. it was quite funny tt we were busy in the kitchen area while our flatmates were busy with lessons in school.. and earlier in the day.. everyone was rushing about for lessons while both of us had the time to walk to a rather far convenience shop to get our cheap ice-cream!! oh!!! the one scoop of ice-cream here is equivalent to two scoops of ice-cream in spore!! and the taste is juz deliciously satisfying.. totally wonderful!!

super busy wkend ahead.. lots of activities gg on.. hopefully can get enough slp to wake up for 8am lectures and not doze off at any of my lectures next wk.. oh!! and we plan to go town during our long breaks to have lunch and shop around!! and if the weather is warm and sunny.. we'll be gg to the beach!! hopefully there will be a sunny day next wk.. a rather slim chance since autumn is nearly upon us!! tts why it has been rather cold and rainy and dreary.. muz visit the botanic gardens again to see the changes of the plants.. many trees have their leaves turning red already..

on a sidenote.. seriously putting on too much weight cuz i've been eating alot and not exercising.. eekz!! the weather is getting colder.. who wants to exercise?? and the gym is so far away!!! gotta walk like 20 mins from my flat.. too lazy and not motivated.. gosh.. shld sign up for tramping organised by toroa to get myself in shape.. ehz.. dun be surprised if u all see a plump me when i return to spore.. i did put on weight when i went to NZ in JC 1 and i was onli there for 2 wks!! now i'm here for nearly 5 months and i'll definitely put on lots.. tammy darling is already calling me piggy.. yikes!!

missed playing the piano!!! i went to try out the music room at toroa and i realised tt i miss my music lots!! eekz!! shld have asked my dad to ship over a few music books so tt i can still practise my piano.. mebbe i shld go visit a music shop to get a music book or sth.. hope my piano isnt rotting at home!!

oh!! and to all my friends back in NUS, all the best for your mid-term tests!! jia you jia you!! i'll be here giving all of ya mental support!! =)
