im blogging just for the sake of blogging. i'm waiting for chess to complete a part of the english report(im not helping) and then we're going to study physics. its 7pm and we have 2+ more hours to kill in the library before we can go home. they did not have the biscotti i like at the cafe today. god must be telling me not to be greedy :P

we went into town to eat curry for dinner at 520pm today.hahahaa. i really hope i don't get too hungry later, and that i can resist temptations to snack. it gets dark so early here, and my mum doesn't like to eat when it's dark so we end up eating earlier and earlier every day. soon we will be having dinner in the afternoons. this is how you grow fat - eat dinner early and snack on food at night. :/

school's so busy now. i can feel the pressure of the exams coming, and it does not help that co is coming in a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cokefoke cokefoke! i can't wait! and when co comes, so will my dad and 3 relatives from sydney. super full house, it's going to be fun!

i must spend this weekend like a hermit in the library. this is to make up for all the study time i will lose while my extended family is here for the week (: can't wait. PLUS! chessy's birthday is coming! juz you watch outs chester! ;D

lately i've been feeling that the reason god put me through all he did is so that i can be a blessing to others. i felt/feel everything that some of my friends are feeling, and even though im not in singapore, i will do everything within my ability to help these friends get through their toughest times because after all, i love my friends (:

it's getting colder and colder now, and it gets harder to wake up every morning. This is even though i know that in singapore, i would be in my first class already at that time. i'm a spoilt girl here (: my alarm wakes me up, i press snooze twice, lean over and turn the heat blower on, and roll back into bed till i am suddenly jolted by panic and fear of not having enough time to dress up. the minute i get out of bed, everything freezes up and i shiver into the living room, turn on the fire, and stand in front of it till i stop shivering. tough life i tell you :P

i am happy here. maybe it's cos im finally basking in the happiness of being here that has taken me months to feel. of course i can be negative and moan that a lot of things that happened could have been avoided should i have stayed in singapore, but where is the fun in that?? :D of course i miss my friends in singapore like crazy, and of course i miss mgs and being surrounded by girlfriends all the time, but i've learnt that living for the present is everything. sometimes it takes time to realise the importance of living in the present because at times it is easier to moan about missing the past, and having a reason to not feel super happy. take past experiences and memories, put it in a place in your heart to cherish and leave it there. live for the present and the future and cherish the memories of the past. does that make sense?

i definitely do miss being around friends who understand me and know me really well, but i guess making friends here isn't that bad either. it's interesting to get to know friends from other cultures, and learning about how they live back home, but admittedly, sometimes it is frustrating when you can't understand them completely, or when you don't fully understand why they do what they do. but funnily enough, you get that problem even at home when you come from similar backgrounds and speak the same language, so i guess i can't really stick my finger out and blame it on cultural differences, because sometimes maybe the problem is me!

i should stop rambling, this is a utterly useless post.
