So this is kind of long overdue..

I realised today that having relatives when u're in a strange new country is really important and most of the time, comforting. Mom left on Sunday and I was really not sure how'd i handle it but it turned out pretty good. I didn't cry like i thought i would. Sorta told myself, okay u're 18..well technically 17, THIS should not be a PROBLEM!! 17 is OLD!

Mom left home when she was 17 so i should not have an excuse to act like a baby.

I consider myself lucky and blessed to be able to make it into university at 17. Most people i've met are 19 and above. It's kinda cool really. I'll be done with a BA by the time i'm 21! I wanna get my masters before i'm 25. It takes 2 years to do and if those prestigious schools i'm eyeing on the east coast of the United States require some working experience before enrolling..yep 25 is a good target..uh..okay u don't need to hear about my future ambitions.

Ahh..my stupid skin is having its worst breakout ever. Another thing u don't need to know about.

Today for dinner, aunty suan chin bought char siu, duck and made cucumber with sesame oil. It smelt like CHICKEN RICE!!!!!! I thought she was making that, but nope..the cucumber with sesame oil was awesome..it smelt great, tasted great. Yum yum yum. Not chicken rice but better than nothing i guess.

I woke up late today and sorta had the house to myself, so i did what Mom told me to do and make myself useful around the house. Cleaned up the kitchen and sorted out the plates and cutlery. Oh and my reward, watching the US open on Tv!! Canadian Coverage is much better than ESPN/STAR SPORTS(But i still MISS MY FOOTBALL!) Well it feels much better to watch the tournament without having to switch your body clock to the 12 hour difference. But it means missing the NIGHT Sessions on Arthur Ashe cause i'm now back in my dorm...no TV!! I wish i had a TV now.. Okay stop and think. No TV, No distractions. Great.

The Long awaited pictures of my room are here!!! I still think its freaking bare and wanted to wait till longer to decorate the walls and stuff and wait till i get all my books and fill up the 80% empty shelves before posting but i think I should just let you take a look. So here goes...maybe by winter or whenever my room's looking much better i'll post pics again!



Kinda messy..too many wires, too little hiding spaces. Oh its my desk btw. and thats the door..with all the stuff hanging on it and on the bottom left, that's the fridge and yes the horrible Empty shelves.


Room at Home beats Dorm Room.



NEXT....


Okay My BED!! Its a very COMFY BED! Almost on par with the one i have at home. and that's a huge compliment coming from a homey person like me. D'YA HEAR THAT DORM BED?

I seriously don't know how i'm going to drag myself out of bed each morning to go to class. Especially during winter..when it's going to be so freaking cold, and the heating's on and the bed's comfy and i have my steaming cup of Marmite..uh well, when winter comes around you'll hear about it! Oh and that chicken no, uh ROOSTER(thats a better word), is for Feng Shui Purposes. I can only explain that much.

MOVING ON...

The ONLY window in my room and the dresser and wardrobe. Man it looks old.. Well i'll have to make do with it. At least it didn't just come with the dresser.

Room at Home wins Hands Down.





FINALLY..

Probably the nicest part of my room. The comfy chair and the pinkish IKEA rug. I think i'm gonna be doing alot of reading and thinking in that chair. Its a nice chair. A Good chair. A Smart chair. A- okay i'll stop.



I LOVE MY RUG. Tie btween Room at Home and Dorm Room.



And in other news, *coughs* SPorts news *coughs*

Andre Agassi finally retires!! God he was so emotional..can't blame him. and the standing ovation the other players gave him in the locker room!! It's hard not to be affected. Farewell Andre!! Come back and commentate soon!

I admit i'm completely useless at searching for football related news on the internet. Well I can, i just don't like to. So Angeline told me that M.U rejected Mascherano and Tevez???

Um..David Gill..HELLO???

Ok,my rational self tried to explain to my shocked self how this travesty could have occured.

1. We really really really really really want Owen Hargreaves. So Mascherano as Defensive MF is out.

2. We don't have the money.

3. its not part of our club's policy to sign players on Loan.

4. Fergie had a knee jerk reaction to saying we don't need them cause of the great start to the season.

5. Fergie has really lost it.

6. Argh what am i thinking, Fergie HAS lost it.

Next, Cashley-Gallas situation, Awwww we knew it was going to happen. Now this little piece of news i found Out by myself, on the Internet! Not so useless after all.

I am expecting a two digit score to nil when Germany plays San Marino on wednesday. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!!!!!


R.I.P Steve Irwin.



Its the first day of classes tmr!! I realise i have four days of classes only.. COOL.

And i hope the rest of you are enjoying your holidays!! (For the TP people!)

Till Next time................


'' I shot the guy who shot Bambi..Well I guess it's better than shooting Bambi.'' Andy Roddick on his win over German Qualifier, Benjamin Becker, who'd knocked out Andre Agassi in the final tournament of the 36 year old's career.

1/9/2006: 6 years after i'd started drinking, i finally got busted. LOL. Funny, the legal drinking age in Ontario is 19! Hey S'pore! We're not so bad after all! And the U.S is 21..weird.
