CCA Day!

Started the day waking up at 10.30 for a 10am class, so we missed our first class due to oversleep. Haha... But when we reached school, there was a CCA fair which was pretty cool. If we thought Vivace in SMU was big, this was way cooler!! Here're some pictures.

1. A sorority girl recruiting sisters.
2. An animal adoption club with a really cute shelter animal on campus.
3. The Singapore chapter! They do really cool stuff and we should be joining them for reunion dinner at this cool place called the Belachan grill.
4. Dance club auditions in hot pink!
5. Christian clubs doing recruitment. It's pretty big over here in SC.

Next, we went to the world famous walmart after class to get a new printer. According to my buddy, (whose words we must all take with a pinch of salt,) the library charges 12 US cents to print 1 page!! *faints*
We got a nice new standing lamp too for the hall, a toilet brush ( you wouldn't believe how hard it was to find this here) and a random can of campbell soup!!
Next we went to eat Hai Nan chicken rice. It was the biggest plate of chicken rice I've had in my life, but it was pretty good. So good in fact that we finished it before realizing that a picture would be nice. And to top off the meal, we had some Krispy Kreme!

Arrival in LA (Part 2)



And upon reaching my "house", I was greeted by some pretty nice views! Here's a couple of snapshots here and there.


First thing we did was open a bank account. And we turned the local Bank of America into a NUS/SMU in exam week.



And here's my blur cock buddy. Haha, if I wrote about the silly stuff he does, that's gonna be another blog by itself. Haha, but the whole geist of it all is he hates to be called "Mommy's Boy". So go figure.








Arrival in LA!

Fnally the time and internet connection to sit down and blog!!
Left on thursday after a night of no sleep to fly off to LA early in the morning. I can't believe the last meal I had in Singapore was porridge at the airport. And then it was off to a 3+ hr flight to Hong Kong. Thanks to Mich and my family for sending me off!


After stopping at HK for a 2 hour transit, I took another flight to LA! Although the flight had pretty good food and a rather cute stewardess (sorry no pictures!!), there was a bloody kid who was crying all the way and I couldn't sleep. Urgh!! But here's my ride to LA.


And here's LAX! Didn't manage to get any nicer and more glam shots. But the crappy stewardess told me the wrong shit about the bloody immigration forms and I had to shuttle between immigration and some far flung counter which handed out forms. So much for segregation of duties. (And on the note, so much for cute air stewardesses)

Outside the arrival hall, the shuttle bus stand, and my ride to campus housing which cost me $30.
