wiis and castles

cny celebration was good thanks to the wii! yay!
and the food of course... auntie mary actually made her own kueh pai tee shells! i was eating the ruined ones... we had our usual round of tai di but that was done in a hurry cause we wanted to play with barry's wii. now all of us want a wii!

i'm in aussie now! i'm living among singaporeans, malysians and honkies at a hostel... its a nice place, i got my own room but i have to share a toilet with girl who hasn't arrived yet. trinity is a very pretty place, the buildings are like wow. really cool, makes you feel like you're in hogwarts or those medevial castles. sadly the lecture theatres are not so wow, it makes me feel like sleeping maybe because i'm so used to sleeping 9 hours a day... we had an english diagnostic test and on the form, it had this section saying 'if you studied in singapore, please fill up this section: what did you get for A levels for english OR what was your final grade?' so obviously, not having taken A levels i filled in the final grade section with a very nice A1 and put there in brackets o levels. really nice satisfaction putting that thing there... its a nice motivation!

i think i'm going to take maths, econs and pyschology in trinity with english and history of ideas as compulsory subjects... I'M FINALLY DONE WITH CHINESE!!!! yes! the only problem here is the malysians tend to speak cantonese and so i will be hearing more chinese... damn. most of the borders here are chinese, only 2 indians?... i heard a few malaysians condeming singapore but once the guy knew i was singaporean he was like nothing personal! actually what he said was quite true, us being money minded. singapore so racially sensitive...

anyway, lots of love to melia, manda, claire, stace, jia, pet, lesley[both], squeak, the cell, OGco and gb people.
and 7jam and the cousins!
