then on sat went MOA with puff! (: had lunch at rainforest cafe (im preeet sure they had one in sg last time) and then speed shopped for like 3 hrs. HAHA it was almost impossible to cover the whole place. but yeah it was fun. walked by gilly hicks. omg that place is a girl's paradise. all types of underwear and bras and bikini and what not. woots. and its actually a brand under the same holding company of A&F, hollister. yupps. n they had hot models in swimwear parading outside the store. A+ for marketing efforts! MMMS went for cold stone after that. n then puff had to head back. that night was joey's bday celebrations. so went to his place for predrinks. then headed to 1st ave club. gosh that night was horrid. drank on empty stomach that s why. and that got me gone without myself knowing. started puking like a merlion its not funny. the toilet bowl was my confidante and i was jus pouring out my woes the whole time. and the next morning i woke up with a bump on my head and a HUGE bruise on my arm. totally not funny man. swear i will never get there again. its so scary! ): just hope the injuries recover soonish.

had exam on tues for bio psych. studied real hard for it. and got back results today. haha 38/45. i guess its not bad. just need to pass right. yeah another exam coming up for adolescent psych. but im gg duluth this weekend for snowboarding!! so yeah books aside pls. OH went for salsa class tt night. it was nice to dance again. but the standard there as compared to sg is quite differential. the caderas ppl are way better than them! woots woots. miss social dancing with them. )): owells. think im gonna check out the salsa clubs next wed.

called ah ma last night and it was great hearing her voice. haha she sounded so shocked to hear me. and i missed her. kinda teared. what a loser. but yeah i really miss home. n CNY is coming!! haha well gonna have steamboat tomorrow at mel's place. so heartwarming to have them. and to have a reunion dinner together. YUMM cant wait. n marcus is coming in from ny tom too! he's so gonna be teaching us snowboarding. all of us are noobs. HAHA but yeah can't wait for the weekend.

OH got a package from uk this week too! heheh filled with bakkwa, cheezels, wanwan, primadeli mixes, and a card. haha was a surprise tho. totally didn't expect it. thanks jy! these goodies will last me through CNY feeling less homesick for sho. (:

to those that matter: i miss you all too.

well, decided to revive this blog and update friends and family of my happenings in Minnesota. it's been quite a roller coaster getting over here, settling down, new environment, new friends, new beginnings. i guess i do miss ppl back in singapore alot. family, friends. i miss hanging with friends for supper, chillout at timbre, lunches at raffles place during internships, stuffs like that. i miss my mum's nagging (weird but i find myself doing things she always nags me to do even though she aint here with me). i miss making fun of my little brother at home, irritating the heck outta him and then we both end up smiling gleefully. i miss my helper at home, always ready to whip up a hearty meal, cleaning, washing, tidying. i miss sg food. the food here is alright, but cold sandwiches or pizza aint the way to go. been trying to cook more asian food these days. though my pad thai failed terribly a few days back. (ouch, ego bruised). was SO happy to find united noodle and coastal seafood. got a whole ton of asian food and premixes and sauces. (((; and i miss the efficiency of sg's public transport. seriously. i was waiting in the cold last night and i realized that i have been taking these things for granted back home. this country is a place of many firsts for me, when i was here in 2007, it was my first time in such a faraway continent, first time puncturing 2 tyres at once, first time staying in a student hostel and so on. now, over here on exchange, it's my first time being in somewhere SO cold, first time cooking for myself, first time doing up a room from scratch, first time washing my clothes by hand, first time falling on ice while running for the bus, first time watching a lacrosse game, first time gg for a house party, first time driving and im looking forward to proclaim many more firsts. (hopefully more good firsts than bad)

well, some of u may have heard already but yeah we didnt make it to the gaga concert. what a let down (suck it up bitch). she felt too ill to perform. the news broke through the cold silence in the car as we sped down lafayette to purdue uni to the concert venue. it was wrenching. guess the only symphonies of the night was that of her tunes playing over and over on the radio. had some really lousy korean food (and to think the waitress thought we loved the food so much we want to return) and some hotel brekkie and headed back to minneapolis. i managed to claim another first: a speeding ticket. was caught on the highway in wisconsin. painful painful. 250 bucks. no messing around in wisconsin (i hate that place already).

its week 2 now, and im already settling down into this university town. today we have heavy snow. all morning till now. guess im learning the art of walking on snow/ice. im learning patience. really. i will be better. gonna try working out more too! this place needs some heat. gonna go for some free trial on wed, play squash on tue, badminton on wed, and maybe table tennis tonight. whee. and thurs we are heading to chicago!! (: me mel clement jo tee and puff. epic guys. this will be epic. (((;
