Heya dearies!!!!!

How are all you guys doing?? Anyway Jas if you read this what is your uk hp number???? oh and can all of you email me cos i've just realised i don't have all your updated email addresses!! My email is swjlim@gmail.com

ok so here goes my account of the past 3 days in lse... i know ONLY 3 DAYS... geez it feels like ages... well didn't do much on sunday... on monday i can't actually remember doing anything either actually... went for this welcome thingy in my hall but it was so bloody noisy i couldn't hear what anybody was saying... so haha i guess you can say it was a not the best use of time..

on tuesday i met a few other singaporeans... oh inez guess what.. Guan Sin lives like in the flat nxt to mine!! can you believe that? small world huh? we met like at 9 in e morning cos the damn smoke alarm went off.. apparently they test it every monday morning... retarded or what. Well i met her in the hall way of her flat... cos all the piggies in my flat didn't bother to come out of their rooms... so i had to go to the nxt flat and see what they were doing..

anyway my flat has like 4 americans here on a transfer programme for a year.. and the guys are bloody noisy!!!! seriously... they clatter about at 3, 4 am in the morning... idiots... haha but the girls are really nice... and in the flat nxt to mine there is this damn hot french guy... i swear he bears like a strong resemblance to orlando bloom. oh well... wasted lah he has a girl friend... but still he is really sweet... one of the guys i hang out more with...

anyway there is this massive party tonight.. which i guess i'll go for.. i know i know i don't sound the most enthu... but i'm so jet lagged and these clubbing things get a bit pointless after a while cos even though you meet loads of people you don't remember any of them in the morning.. well i shall not complain anymore... on the whole its been pretty ok.. still settling in.. will update you guys!! sorry won't be emailing much for these 2 weeks... tons to do and not a lot of time!! you guys take care.. miss you all loads!!

cheers
sarah

hey girls! so what's the plan for tomorrow? if it's gonna be dinner, sara and i will be late cos we've got a meeting in school! and we can't make it for lunch either cos we've both got class at twelve! :(

so anyway, waimay, your life sounds VERY exciting! haha better not havoc too much ah! haha. and you sound like you're doing good in your acads too, wow!

so anyway, life's been busy for all of us i see? sigh i've been practising accounting the whole day! i feel like i'm about to faint. i've got an accounting quiz coming up next friday, and a communications assignment due on monday, and a business law presentation on tuesday. the list goes on..

that day i was complaining about how jc was so terrible and i felt like it was the worst i could ever get. then my friend strongly opposed and said 'a levels is like a fat boy running 2.4km! just walk 2.3km, then sprint the last hundred metres.' .. 'but uni is a constant 100m sprint! every semester is a race, then the break would be totally enjoying. until the next term would be another sprint again..' so tell me, which is worse off :\

okay i should go sleep now.. i've got class at eightthirty in the morning, followed by three project meetings till night-time! :\

i miss all of you! hope to see you soon :)

last night i went to jj's apt with a whole bunch of other singaporeans and i met lipingg :)and dingren haha... we hardly meet cos one, both live in parkside which is like some faraway land on campus and two, both are in a diff major. she invited me to her friend's apt partyy which was a few doors away from jj's.

haha here is nygiam (this other ac guy. he is damn funny) drinking beer from a tube one floor below the apt.

haha dingrenandsuraj(i think thats his name) pouring beer down the tube.

lipings friends...both sophomore or juniors at usc...

ok the night didnt end tooo welll.back at jj's house, they were having a great time but i was toooo tired (accumulation of sleepless nights) to play their drinking game so i slept on the couch and then got a lift back to sch.

k football tailgate party at 1pm later.i juts woke up at 1030am. i need to study so badlyyyy i'm so gonna fail everything (means getting a c and below cos the grading here is v harsh) freak. anywayy i should be controlling the number of fucks i say..hahaha being surrounded by people who use it in every single sentence 24/7, it is quite hard not to be influenced. the party is from 1-5pm. the game starts around 5 and theres a post game party. now you know whyy sc is a partying sch. hahahaha there goes my sat....

here guys, ive been making a conscious effort to blog here for you guys cos i dont want u guys thinkin that i just disappeared in LA or something...uni is getting soo tough. yea, u guys must be thinkng whyy im complainng abt so much work and yet going for football stuff, cos you see, i want to integrate into my surroundings and make sure i am fully settled in (not easy and prob will take a whole year). ok i have no idea how to put that in words but i hope u guys und cos alll of u are attendin a new sch too...only diff is that i am experiencin culture shock and anxiety sometimes. but thanks to the new bunch of people ive met in sch, sch is reallly fun

heh o and can someone give me sarahlims email add cos i only have her high sch one!!! ok grace can u send me an email...cos if i just post that there, prob nobody will do that for me. hahahaha

take care guys and byeee!!! :)

anywayy, those are just some random pics. first one is with my roommate, we were standing outside this rich man's driveway in redondo beach. haha next one is with my roommate's friend...yea he looks so weak, but he could actually carry me without much difficulties. can u believe it. i weigh like a tonne. ahahah next one is this floormate called jeffrey from new jersey. i posted a pic of him cos he is the biggest irritant on my floor. yes. he annoys me like crazy as u can tell... and he is a pimp. hahahaha he is half hispanic and half scotish. waht a combination...v funny but v v v horny too. always asking people to scratch his ass for him. haha.next is this really freaking hot canadian that i met at some greek party. here, my friend invited him back to our dorm and he is pictured smoking weed yes... ive tried that heh...but before u jump to any conclusions abt me... no ,i hate the smell of weed. i just took one puff and that was my very first and LAST time smoking weed. weed is really popular in US and actually, i dont see anything wrong with it cos reallly, it just makes u high/happy and thats all. ok next pic is lan, my czech republic friend who is a viet national and my hiromi from tokyo..both are from my writing and hist classes. lan is actually my v good friend in sch... too bad she lives at the opp end of campus!

alrights so i guess thats all for now. i will get some pics of my new biz frat (yes ive got so much to say abt the pledging process but omg, i'm just tooo weak to type everything now haha) and singaporeans that i hang out with. haha... some other time..for now, back to studying chemistry...blergh so boring.

Hey everyone!!
missing me already?? I really miss you guys!! and I cant seem to get access to our blog. The only way I can read your entries are by signing in. haha. Oh well, at least you can finally hear from me now..hehe. Anyway, everything's fine with me, just getting used to uni life and trying to get started on my self study which i have to do ALOT..I must really stop using my self study periods as breaks but the computers in the library are so tempting and it's the only time i can talk to you guys on msn because of the 7 hr time difference. Blehh..
Well, i guess i have more or less settled in, found the christian union, which is quite a cool bunch of pple with quite alot of cool activities. People here are really friendly too, which really helps in gettin me settled in. Sadly, there are very few chinese here, not to mention Singaporeans, besides my lecturer who is from Singapore. Haha. But i guess being here you would want to meet the locals and other people around the world more than your own "kind"..heh. And I have met quite alot of them cos my school has more international than local students. But my whole block is full of indian boys! argh..hehe..I don't mean to be racist.but you know..haha.Anyway, so far I have been on a grub crawl organised by the christian union, where we actually went from house to house eating home cooked food prepared by the students themselves..and a day tour for international students..So so far so good, and I really hope it gets better..God has been really good to me!
Ooh here are some photos i took here so far, will be uploading more!

Scenery from the town centre. not bad eh..the town centre is really beautiful!

Some people i met on the bus tour..america poland jamaica and germany..cool eh..haha

Met the girl in red on the first day of school. She's from my course and she's from malaysia but lives in aberdeen. She's a christian too! Thank God i met her..haha. The other two are a couple from america..the guy looks funky eh. And he's a nurse can you believe it! haha.

I would have uploaded more pictures but it takes really long..heh. Anyway, I really hope you guys are doing well at home..Miss you all extremely!!!sob..haha..

Love you all!!!

my favourite girls!

haha sorry i haven't been blogging! anyway, i really hate school now. grr everything's so stressful, it's really alot alot alot worse than jc. i'm in the smu jazz band programme and i had my first lesson last saturday. it was soooo scary. as in like everyone's like super pro and they nominated me as the band arranger so now i've gotta arrange the music and stuff, i really feel overwhelmed. urghs.

and like classes are super on the ball. everyone's just raising their hands and asking questions all the time, i'm immensely worried about my class participation points really. and i hate biz law! it's okay actually, until you start examining cases, it gets very very confusing. and everything to me, is very subjective la. which is so ironical considering it's supposed to be law.

and also, i'm gonna miss our dear friends doreen and jas terribly!! :( yepp sigh our mg gang's getting sooo tiny. but nvm we must keep meeting up and stuff k! and we still haven't celebrated amanda's birthday! haha. so anyway, see you girls at the airport tomorrow for those who are sending jas off! :)
