Some updates

I know I haven't been updating recently. But there is just so many things happening and so many things which occupy my mind and so many things left undone. Especially with the wrapping up of the USA trip. Some parts were spectacular. Some parts weren't as fun as I had expected. OH well, life goes on...

I have been in Canada like around 5 days? And I have already started school, having a miss at all the rah rah orientation events. Initially I thought it would be very difficult for me to adapt to the Canadian life but I guess it was quite alright for me. They are very polite, that makes me feel good each time I see them walking past me, students, professors...

But then again, I haven't really got to interact around. Either I'm too slow, or I'm too cold. Well, I really don't know. I hope to get to know more people around me. Solid people whom I will see more often.

Maybe I should say I am still in the phase of trying to adapt to new cultures, new friends, even getting close to already known friends as well. It is a whole lot of relationship matters I have to deal with. I really miss all the people in Singapore. For the reason that I could only make overseas call to my parents, compared to people who can skype easily, facetime, talk on the phone for free, and also having easy access to connect with friends in Singapore. Most of my friends went on exchange too and I wonder how are they doing now. The thing is Singapore and Canada has opposite timings so I won't get to see them online to chat with when I am feeling down. I really hope to get more connected with my friends in Singapore. And I hope things here will change for the better. Not because it is bad but, I think the problem lies with me.

For me, I think the environment here is great. Except that the food and stuff here are alot more expensive. But other than that it was generally fine, I mean, I am the person who don't really go partying at night. Today we went to some streets for dinner and take a look at the bars, pubs, clubs. They are all so happening. But seriously difficult to be style and dress up like one of them. Well having said that, I think I shoudl start to join more stuff (less vigour ones), and also be here for longer than just one week before school starts. The weather here is somehow unpredictable but I guess it should be fine til winter.

They are also very helpful in the sense that they really tell us or inform us what to do for this that. I wast thinking that it would be a great chance to join back NTU exchange club to welcome the international students to Singapore.

Well, I will update again!
