Waiting Happily for My Turn

These few days when I read my friends' blogs, I could actually feel how exciting it is already to be in the states. Seeing their faces on the webcam doesn't make it any easier for me who is still waiting and waiting anxiously to get there. Although I think that I won't have a problem fitting in there... I know that I'm gonna miss my parents and my friends over here. Nvm,.. I'll save the jiwang post for later.

My future roommate msged me 2 days back. He's an American from Atlanta and apparently, he's a super fit sportsman. Triathlon runner, swimmer, cyclist, tennis player,...you name it, he can do it. But I don't feel intimidated at all, and thats probably because I don't do those stuff anyway so there's no competition or challenge whatsoever. One thing WHICH he and I both do is, fortunately, playing the PS2! Yeap he's gonna bring a PS2 there and get a TV set as well so we could both do late nights on the console! HAHAH TAKE THAT PETER...nyeh nyeh nyeh :P

Much to look forward to. Even the classes sound interesting already. Its been too long since I've been studying, so I'm ACTUALLY looking forward to it. Calculus, science, programming,..bring it on!

But now, I guess I'm still doing what the seniors are always telling us to do...sit back and chill :P 2 weeks more ppl, and I'm going to USA!

Hard to believe, cause 2 years back the furthest I dreamt of going to further my studies is Australia. And my dream country has always been Japan, all because I thought that there is so much to see and experience there. But who could tell, I ended up going to the states after all. I did vow before that I would never get together with an American girl...ever. But who knows...time will tell.

Enjoying the moment now. Good luck to those in the states! Eager to hear from you guys bout ANYTHING at all.

6000

To earth :

My new found glory!

My new baby just arrived yesterday..the new Dell Inspiron 6000! I'm calling him 6000...as of now. I suck at names.

So much excitement when I opened the packaging, and even more when I switched him on. The sound of electric surging into his body is just so....ahhh.....delicious.

My baby packs a punch! With its core spinning at 1.86ghz and 1gb of ram powering the system, it never lags at all. Best of all it has a graphic card and surround sound to go with that. Perfect for my gaming and movie watching needs.

6k doesnt make much noise. In fact he's so silent I can even hear the wind blowing outside my house when its pindrop silence in my room. 6k can last for at least 5 hours unplugged. He's not hot either, I played with him for 9 hours straight yesterday and he's still not hot. His design is hot though.

I love everything about my new laptop now. Soon I'm gonna feed him with games and softwares and watch him mature *sob*

It might not be much to others but 6k is my first ever laptop. I'll love it as if it is myself :P

Observations

It first rained this morning. First heavy one after a few weeks.

The sky is blue again. The room is cooling and fresh. I want to sleep.

I have things to do but I don't feel like it now. I'm sitting on my forms, my cal placement tests, my obligations to meet up with friends.

There's 2 more weeks left before I leave. I want to leave. But then I don't want to leave.

Things are getting better. I like how things are now.

Life is...just like that. I need to do more. NU will be my stepping stone.

Sara is not back yet. She's having an entirely different time than all of us here. Envious.

Its still raining outside. Rain is good. It usually remind others of sadness. It brings calm to me.

We're fine.

And life goes on...

Spread your wings and Fly!

Just like everyone else, I'll be saying that the haze is HAZE-RDOUS! With an API rating of 360+, this is clearly the worst compared to the cases a few years back. I feel teary in my living hall. When I'm outside of the gates my eyes begin to itch and my throat irritated. Drank like 15 cups of water today at least to keep myself from falling sick. But the worst it has done to me is that it has set up a wall to prevent me from going out! Sure my friends are all happy cause there's no school, but I'm gonna be so bored sitting at home doing nothing. This really sux. WIsh it will go away soon.

Tomorrow me friends heading for Purdue - Peter, Peixin, Boon and Benny - and lllinois - Yeong and Keng- are leaving for the states. So fast a month has past. I prolly wont be seeing some of them again. So its farewell from here. Of course, I'm going to personally see all of them off in the airport tomorrow. But the haze is giving me a hard time driving. I'll still be there, for old times sake. Its gonna be quite a day tomorrow at the airport.

My turn comes in less than a month from this date. I'm almost prepared now, just a few more things to get and MANY more friends to meet. The haze makes me wanna get out of this place immediately. But I can't help missing the ppl here. Heck, I'm missing them already... Wonder how will my family be after I'm gone. Will Fung Hong and Kugen get to their dream unis? Wonder howz Yuan Tsing doing in his studies now.... Is Vin having a great time there too? How bout Tjia Wen... ZhuuMing and Jon gonna join me in the states later?

And could I keep in touch with my INTEC friends over there? How often will I be able to visit them? Seniors are already giving me the impression that life there is packed with work, restless even for the hardworking, and also lousy in terms of food.

I'm about to let go of this place where I grew up. How long could I last over there?

Change in Interests

Nobody updates their blogs as often anymore. The fever of blogging among my friends has died... and mine with it. I do however try my best to keep it updated if I can.

DOTA is dying for me. I no longer attain much excitement when I win, did an excellent assist or even score triple kill. The best it could do to me is relieve my boredom. At least I'd rather do that than reading a book.

Speaking of which, I've not read a single book for the past 2 months. Bad news indeed. Have to pick them up and read somehow or I'll lose touch. I remember back in NS, I was converted to speaking 'Cantonese only' because all my closest friends could only speak cantonese...and a few words of English. And when I graduated I can't speak English using proper grammar anymore. Its that bad...try it for yourself. And if I don't get myself to read again, I might not be able to finish even a page of a book in 5 minutes.

Ok enough of books. I'm bored already.

I think the single one thing that I do best for these few weeks back is shopping. I bought like a dozen shirts, pants, and if I didn't count wrongly, half a dozen more shirts... in that order. Next week is more exciting even >> shoes, sandals, winter clothings, and guess what :P .. more shirts. Bet I could beat most of you girls out there by now. Shame shame. Conquered 1U, Times Square, Sungai Wang and KLCC up to date. More to come ...

Get this song ppl >> Howie Day - Collide
Its recommended by me... and you know what that means

See ya around
