i can't think of a title for this post.

hello!!!! yes i should be punished for not updating this blog...BUT i have valid reasons!!! my dad and i drove for 2plus hours from san jose to davis! haha we got lost halfway but no matter...we stayed real calm and went back onto the highway...oh in the usa..everywhere you go, you definitely have to take the highway!!! this country is SO HUGE!!!!!!!!!! and the weather here is SO weird....i'm serious!!!! yesterday it was sweltering hot (minus the sweat part lah....haha) and today, it's SOOOOOOO cold!!!

ok so after we reached the hotel, i went down to the university to check-in as an international student. okae the word check-in just simply means getting my passport photocopied...argh wasted my time!!!! :( boos...
haha oh tuesday was a fun day!! i signed up for this tour to downtown davis, hoping to meet nice pple and i did!!! haha oh my gosh!! i even found a bunch of singaporeans k!!! ok most of them are here for exchange! but i managed to find caixiu!!! hahaha yay a fellow ex-hwachongian...what are the chances of THAT in davis lah!! close to ZERO!!! ok so when we saw each other, we were like, "OMG!! what are you doing here?? i though i was the only singaporean!!!" hahaha!! k so i got introduced to her group of friends :) correction: group of international friends! i'm serious. i've met pple from ENGLAND (beckham's country!!!), australia, korea, brazil, italy, taiwan, hongkong, japan and of course, china!

haha and everytime i introduce myself, i don't bother telling them how to pronounce my name properly! i say, "oh my name! just call me YOOOOOROOOOO yup!" the way christy, a korean born in brazil (damn cool right? she can speak english korean and portugese!!), pronounces my name makes pple think i'm a true-blue japanese!! yeah and everyone seems to speak with an american accent despite the fact that most of us have never lived in the US....hmmm....
haha anyway the bottomline is...they are a super nice bunch of pple!! and thankfully some of them are living in apartments...which means they can cook...which means.....I CAN GO OVER FOR DINNER :D:D:D woohoo!!!

walking around downtown davis was erm...not very exciting lah!!! argh their downtown is like our.....heartlands. not that i have anything against our heartland area, it's just that i was hoping to find a place similar to orchard road!! :( boos....well on the bright side, i won't be able to go shopping that often, which means i will study more often!!! hey hey HEY!!! i WILL STUDY ONE!!!!!

ohoh!! my university campus is really gigantic!!! argh i thought NTU was huge..when i came here i was proven WRONG!! i think walking across the entire campus is like walking from wheelock to raffles city!!! this is a walking/cycling university...oooh and i tried the hostel food today... boos..it aint good!! oh my gosh, everything is so so so sweet. i know i have a major sweet tooth, but the food here is really way too sweeeeeeet k!!!

ok i'll try to post pictures here soon!!! now i want to get back to my TV! haha there's over 60 channels here!!! AHHH!!! i must NOT get a tv in my dorm...or else i'll just flunk my first quarter :( which reminds me....my friend told me that a hostel blk located near mine, housed a girl who committed SUICIDE!!! omg..........i'm super freaked out can!!! okokok as long as i don't think too much, i'm sure i'll be fine. i hope!!!! i'll let you know how tiny my single room is...hopefully there is enough closet space :)
