hello world! (or at least to my darling friends on that sunny island)

I just thought that i'd update you guys with what I've been doing. Other than my family, becca, kinny and maybe dexter it's mostly been no contact for the past eh 4 days. That's fast. seems like I've been here for ages.

1. Didn't sleep much on the plane. Met this scottish engineer who's going to ADL to find work and then he was telling me about how i should get out and party more. haha. He's younger than me! woots. how cool is that. Spent half the time saying "i'm sorry I didn't get that". Oh, i watched Red cliff 2! and slept through monsters vs aliens (woke up in time to see the credits)

2. Arrived at the airport and breezed through customs. Thank you God.

3. Met Hui Fen, another Singaporean coming to Adl to study:) and she stays right above me now.

4. Raymond and Corinne brought us out and showed us around. Saturday night we had dinner at Corinne's house with the rest of the youth group. It was like wow. Round 1 grocery shopping done

5. Sunday started round 2 of grocery shopping. had steamboat at nal, jx, yt and jr's place. It's really pretty. the view from upthere. and the apartment itself is really nice too! i wish they had a bunle of money and could stay on. haha. then i can go over!

6. Monday's orientation briefing lasted 2 hours? Made my student ID and i look bloated? haha. at least i look like an earthling right. And round 3 of grocery shopping which had me carrying a bag of 5kg rice and 2L cooking oil wandering around Victoria square looking for a busstop with my bus. There are like 6 busstops there. haha. I must have walked a km or more from chinatown.

7. Went to IKEA today. It feels like I never left Singapore. Bought some stuff and ran hoping to catch the bus before the bus ticket expires. And on top of that, spent 50 dollars buying round 4 of groceries. i exhausted my strength pushing the cart up the travelator (cause it stopped) with at least 5 kg worth of produce. And then on the way home we stopped one stop too early again and walked 20 minutes home freezing. Stopped along the way to go to the chinese mart. haha. Hua diao jiu is very impt ok!

So now i understand why my mum goes to NTUC everyday. okay. maybe not. I need tissue paper and deodarant. Maybe I'll go woolworths on thursday.

8. I met more acquaintances! I'd like to make more friends please and also find a "crusade-style" bible study group. I miss church most of all.
