Let's see.. Sunday, had cell as usual in church. We've finished doing Alpha, so we decided to do comparative religion, which is interesting, but very philosophical and cheem. Went for Experiences 2005, a US uni fair, in the afternoon and met Singaporean seniors studying at CMU. Got most of my questions answered and got to know more people there, which is great :) I asked them what they thought of their freshman year, and most of them said "slack" haha. I also realized that I've got to get my textbooks first cos they're very ex there, but they're very slow in coming up with my schedule! I've to obviously know which courses I'm taking before I can buy e textbooks! And I must also start thinking of what activities I'm going to do on campus. I think I'm most likely going to play intramural tennis and join ACF (Asian Christian Fellowship), but I'll just see what they have and decide later. Need to email my roommate as well; I really have no idea how to email her. Anyway, had dinner at Newton and tried e chilli crab. I think that was my first time trying chilli crab. Nice but too spicy for my liking haha.
Monday.. was invited for lunch, along with a few others, by a Chinese class classmate at her house. Gosh, I can't even begin to describe how beautiful her condo is. She even has a walk-in lift to her house and a poolhouse! Well, sort of. Anyway, from the way she prepared lunch, I can tell she is used to having guests at her house. Lunch was very delicious, and there was dessert as well. She cooked everything herself (with the help of a maid), and what's more, she managed not to use oil when cooking the food, yet everything just tastes so nice! Had a great time catching up with the others. I just couldn't help but feel the tinge of sadness inside me again. Sigh.
And yesterday, met up with Bernice (finally!) for dinner. I think the last time I saw her was like last year at her birthday party haha. We talked for quite some time and after that, had a rather hilarious time taking pictures ourselves haha. But they turned out great :)
Oh I got my ipod mini on Monday and spent the whole of yesterday trying to charge it. I had to connect it to the computer to charge it cos it didn't come with adaptor (maybe that's why it's cheaper). I just have this feeling that I did something wrongly along the way. You see, when I first put in the CD, they asked me to connect the ipod to the comp, so I did. Once you connect it to the comp, it charges automatically and there's the "Do not disconnect" sign on the screen. But after that there was an error so I had to disconnect it. So the ipod was technically charged for only a few minutes the first time! And I couldn't install the iTunes properly, even though I did it twice. Anyway, after that I connected the ipod again and left it to charge. I thought maybe it'd take about 6 hours, at most, 7. But after 12 hours, it was still charging! I thought it couldn't have been charging for that long and must've been fully charged, so I just disconnected the ipod. And even though the ipod was full batt, the batt is now being used up quite quickly I think. Ugh..and they say the batt life is 18hours. Hope there's nothing wrong with my ipod :(
Today.. met up with Jevelin and Zena, two primary school friends! Jevelin called me on Monday..and she laughed at my Indo! :/ A few weeks back, another primary school friend, Hans, called me and he also laughed at my Indo. I know I've lost most of my Indonesian accent, so when I speak Indo now, it's very Singaporean and super unnatural. My primary school friends who've spoken to me recently said that my voice has changed a lot. Apparently, last time I was super soft-spoken haha. And they all said I'm darker. They said I was very fair last time. I used to be one of the tallest last time, but I think I'm now one of the shortest :( Anyway, it was great to catch up with them again. Haven't seen them in like 7 years, even though Zena actually studied in Singapore and I saw her on the plane! Jevelin brought photos from our primary school days and also from the reunion they just had recently. Gosh we looked so cute back then and most of my primary school friends have really changed a lot! Jevelin even kept her autograph book back then in primary school and she told me what I'd written. It was so silly; I laughed till I almost cried. I can't wait to meet the rest when I go back.
I'm actually supposed to go back today, then I postponed it to tomorrow, and this morning, I postponed it to Friday. Haha that's the latest already; I won't postpone it anymore. Sigh..still so many things to do! Think I better sleep early today. Sore throat :(
