Singapore Goodness

(sorry for the lateness of this entry)

Just gotta say, the trip was wonderful except for the part where I got sick. I have problems adapting to different climates.

It was the first time in my life I started to think that global warming wasn't too big of a problem.. Until I saw the traffic, which would've been just as bad as Taiwan if there were scooters. Singapore's trees were so green and so many they even seemed fake. We walked around downtown for the first day, amused by everything around us, especially the way people talked. We also were able to meet up with Claire, who moved to Singapore. 

Our first academic competition experience.. It was constant stress and constant brain work: from the second we started writing that essay eight in the morning till about eleven at night when we circled that last multiple choice question at the public quiz. We weren't the only stressed ones either. At lunches and dinners you'd see singaporean students in proper uniforms flipping through those resources for a last minute study. The competition lasted long. I was too tired to be surprised when they announced that we had won first place as a group for the essay section. But still, good jobs to Aled and Seaweed.. and thanks to Ms Gruber for being an awesome roommate!

We need some meegorang in this country!!!

With pok!!

Dinnertime with Dad

In our house, our family often engages into a very interesting topic at meal times. My dad and I share an interest that my mom doesn't seem to ever understand. We love physics. My dad would talk about some physics concepts, and answer my never ending questions. 

Every time I learn something new, I spend the rest of the week dazed just thinking about the movements happening around me. It's not just random colors I see anymore, what I see are light rays coming from the sun and bouncing into my eyes. Every now and then when I see a sunset, I can see way deeper than just beautiful colors.
