No pictures.. No funny happenings.. No awesome events.. (the action now is actually in Florida, where Jason has left to gallivant with his partner in crime Serene.. HAHA).. so anyway.. this is just epiphanies on life over here in exchange..

Well it has been slightly more than 3 months since my flight took off from Singapore to New York. What started off as pure excitement and adrenaline has worn off.. and nowadays.. I am simply.. living a life on exchange. =)

Daniel came to visit us a week back and boy was it fun (except for the Jason poker scam where i got smashed)!! HAHA.. Like i have no idea how to explain it.. we didnt do anything extraordinary.. it was just good times my friends... good times =)

And a lil something about my exchange (not the travels... the actual exchange to another university)

a typical day of the week would be something like this:

1. Wake up
2. On my laptop and check mail (ok.. i dont get that many mails, but its just a habit)
3. Wash up
4. Stumble down to make breakfast (usually bread and some spreads and cereal)
- Oh my goodness.. Lucky Charms (a kind of cereal) are really quite awesome
- And also, once a week... Jason and I will have a good breakfast.. something that requires cooking.. like pancakes, scrambled eggs etc etc
5. Open up my fridge, spice cabinet and think what would i make for dinner tonight.
- over in Kingston, I am a part time student, full time cook. I only go to school 3 times a week but i cook a dinner for 3 almost everyday.
6. Defrost and prep ingredients for cooking. Something i learned from my mum: We prep our ingredients early so that we dont need to spend so much time on cooking.
7. Buy groceries. Once a week, I go alone to the butcher to get stuff for the household.
- A side note on this: WAH LAU!! totally becoming a housewife already lah!! what on earth lah..
8. Go school. Stone in class. Download stuff.
9. Go home.
10. Cook dinner. Jason and I have dinner standing up in the kitchen and talking to one another. Its the weirdest way to have dinner but its kinda like a way of life now.
11. Go for bible studies (once a week) and meet my awesome bible study group whom i have come to love. And what do you know: 2 of my bible study group mates (Cindy and Noel) are coming to Singapore on exchange next term
12. Go back home.
13. Shower
- ok its kinda weird.. but oh my goodness.. i realise over here in exchange.. my showering time doubles up as a 20-30 min karaoke session. I apologise to Jason (whose room is where the bathroom is) if i have driven you crazy with the singing.. those high notes can be hard to reach sometimes.. haha
14. Procrastinate / Talk to people on MSN / study / apply for jobs / try to do work / ponder about life / ponder about God / surf for recipes online
- the night is where i get most things done i guess... always have been..
15. Brush teeth
16. Pray
17. Sleep

In any case.. I guess I have been kinda frugal on exchange. My main purpose is not the economic downturn but more because I am running low on cash and I need it to fly to Melbourne next year to attend Jasmine's wedding (this is how much i love you jas (as a friend and sister in Christ))! HAHA! I have been cutting down on eating out, travelling and shopping (ok i dont really shop anyways but still))

In anycase.. it will be 1 month before I move out of Kingston to join awesomeamericanos in Montreal. I guess the feeling would be bittersweet. But yet.. i am happy to see the awesomeamericanos again! haha.. which brings about a point: DICKY!!! HAVE YOU CONFIRMED YOUR TICKET YET?? I WANT TO SEE YOU IN MONTREAL / VERMONT TOO!! ok.. the fact that i am not a girl means dickson will probably not be motivated to do anything about this exclamation of mine.. maybe i shall get angsters or pegsters to do something to that effect..

After reflecting on it.. I realised I havent regret coming for an exchange at all. It really is an experience of a lifetime. (for those of us who are not studying overseas to begin with). I would like to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity.

And also not to forget: Pa, Ma thanks for giving this chance to go on an exchange to Canada even though neither of you have travelled this far out from Singapore before. I love you.

Crap.. getting a bit emo! but anyway.. that sorta rounds up my post for today! =)
