hihihi everyone. i dont even know whats going on in singapore since you people are so busy with alll your smu/dentistry/medicine life..tsk. bear some thoughts for the lonely me in california who has nothing better to do except hop from one blog to another...so keeep me occupied mans. i dont like to keep visiting my school webbie and make more changes to my timetable (thats what i do when i'm bored. look for more classes and lchange my schedule...)
o yes, this is what i'm doing for first sem: some class abt acct stufff, writing class, hist class abt war and america, geog class abt natural disasters ...thats abt it.
okkk yes, you all must be wondering whyy i'm complaining that i have so much time but no time to update this blog. cos you see, i cant seem to access the internet from my dorm cos theres just soooooo much admin shitt to do (reallly! i'm not kidding. getting internet connection was my no. one prioritywhen i moved into my dorm... btw, i havent even unpacked my clothes from the baggage...and since thurr till now, i stillllllllllllllll dont have internet cos it is just so complicated. you might think that getting a lan wire would solve all my probs, omggg u are severely mistaken. once u plug that stupid wire into the right places, u have to 'register' ur laptop and blahblahblahblah...theres where all the rubbish comes in. so frustrating) so because of alll these nonsense, i cant use my laptop. and so, i have to go to the library, and use their stifff keyboards to type emails and alll. so yea... i dont like to type a lot.
anw. LA is a very expensive city. if u want to come here for a long hol, becareful, money just flow out of your pocket like nobody;s business. parking fees in downtown LA for 3hrs can go up to 18USD, parking in beverlyhills/westwoood for first 20mins can cost you 8uSD. parking in U*SC (a university in the worse part of LA) is 7 USD a day. so doesnt matter if you are going into the sch for an hour, it will still cost you 7 friggin bucks. renting a car is gonna cost you an atomic bomb. and you cant travel around LA w/o a car... a car is a necessity cos cabs are insanely expensive...the meters justr move very quickly. then theres foood. omggg... one slice of pizza at a fooodcourt cost me 4USD. sheesh. foood court btw. FOODCOURT...the cost of an ave meal for 2 people: 45USD... that includes tip. hotel... omggggg omggg unless you dont intend to live until 45years old (at least), you have to fork out at least 100plus USD a night for a hotel room. then plus your fun sight-seeing places like LA's very own disneyland or universal studios or sixslfags or waltdisney concert hall and goodnessknowswhatotherplacesthereareinLA... $$$$$$$$$$$
alrights. U*SC... hmmm what can i say except the int students orientaltion is pitiful. so boringgg. i skipped most of the prog. people are... aye basically i kinda like the indians only. they are sooooo hilarious i telll you. and it is not because they intend to be funny. but it is just the things they do and say. i'm not racist la. i sincerely enjoy their company. hahahaha.... there are def a lot of above ave looking people here. reallly. dont think LA is where all the slim and welll-toned body people live... there are a lot a lot of obese people. but just within U*SC, yes, what you see in OC is true. and cos in my dorm, theres a mixture of guys and girls living on the same floor, so when you walk to the toilet, you can always spot a half naked guy walking to the toilet or back from the toilet and they are hot. hahaha seriously, ive never seen so many hot guys in my life. like every 10mins, this sufer looking dude will walk past you... regardless of where you are..in library/cafeteria/dorm/walking across the courtyard/student health centre...etc. there are a lot of bitchy girls around tooo. haha... cant wait for the whole chunk of them to move into sorority houses next year. heh. no la... they are nice, but i dont think i want to be their friends??? these type of people come and go. people here are generalllty nice, they acknowledge you, help you when you want... only thing is that, you cant form meaningful friendships with them. but thats ok..cos not all americans are like that.
my room mate is one perfect exception. shes sooooo niceee. omggg... by american standard, shes a hardcore nerd, but to me, shes a perfectly normal student who knows how to strike a balance between having fun and fulfilling her responsibilities as a student. so thats great. we hang out quite often and we both have similiar opinions. like we want classes to start soon cos both of us dont like to try to make friends. hahahahahaha i know. i dont like to go up to someone and intro myself. thats just stupid. i'd rather u come up to me and do that. hahaha so at this monent, i can count the no. of friends i have made so far. hahaha this vietnamese girl (who studied in czech republic alll her life), my dear roommate, this indian girl who is here for her masters, this hongkong guy, this korean guy called david (but all his life, he studied in mexico. ahhaha), this singaporean..omggg ive got so much to say abt her. she was from mg but left in sec 2 tostudy in hongkong...i think if u guys see her pic in the mg yearboook, u alll will confirm recognise her. her name is charmaine. this turkey guy (crap forgot his name..i think al), this shanghai guy (jordan, doing graduate studied), this korean girl called...shit i forgot, and this asian american girl called... uhm ashley or something... hmmm thats more or less it. i mean there are two other guys my roommate intro-ed... uhm this volleyball player called chris and this guy from chicago called west. there are a lot of hi and bye friends la... i cant remb their names. but when i see them around, yea... i will greeet them. thats the thing abt a big uni, u hardly see your new friends. haha... reallly. if they are not in the same sch (i.e the biz sch or communication sch etc), it is very hard to maintain those friendships.
U*SC is def a partyyy sch. wed-pizza party. thur- massive frat/sorority parties. woahhh... i didnt go la.cos i didnt know untiol this asian guy told me but then he told me aft i took a nice warm bath and was all clean and alll. soyea. wasnt in the mood to dress up and watch people get
wasted. not to worrry, i'm sure there are more of suchparties to come. haha then there was this outdoor disco party on fri. and a rock concert plus carnival on sat. yeps... o and welcome to biz sch lunch on fri tooo.
alrights. thats all folks. have fun in uni!! i will upload pics someother time when my com can access the internet!!!! i love my sch buildings... heh. and my dorm is damn nice and biggg. ive got a free mini fridge and microwave oven tooo... ok, not exactly freeee...but well, i wasnt expecting these stuffff.
take care and byeeee....love waimayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
