I like...
.....watching chipmunks run all around the school nibbling at everything they find, laughing at them if they do silly things like this..
I like how the leaves of the trees turn brown at the arrival of fall... I'm waiting for the days I can throw a bunch of them brown leaves up in the sky and ask someone to take a nice posey photo of me.
I like being surprised by unexpected events in school :)
Look at this "Smash Poverty" Campaign. They found this old car, painted the word "poverty" on its body and we could all stand in line to smash the car.. It's kinda lame.. I would rather scrap or sell the car and give money to the poor people... but oh well, it attracted a lot of attention...
I like free rock concerts in school!!! Blaring music, rock bands and free posters too! I tried to squeeze to the front and jump for the free tee-shirts and cds ! It was a bit unglam.. but no one knows me here and it's so dark, so I should just do all the unglam stuff here anyway.
I like how random performances by the school's dance team. It's seriously a bit substandard... but they had so many costume changes... it was worth a look. heh!
I like discovering and taking photos of novel stuff that we don't have in Singapore... Like huge remote controls!
I like bitching in the girls' room and laughing at my friends for always being so colour coordinated... Then walk around at say hello to neighbours..
I like eating pasta for lunch and people watching.. For that half an hour, if you're attentive enough, you'll probably catch stories of who got into what accident, who broke up, who went where and did what yesterday, which lecture sucked....
I like... occasional indulgences! The low fat vanila mango yogurt in school is super delicious! And so are the fries..the macaroni and cheese..the chocolate brownie...the strawberry cheese cake, the....... (you get the point)
I like "bazaars" in school! It's not a bazaar per se, but something like it. I'm missing the NUS bazaars and the milo truck :( Anyway, this bazaar sells really nice posters of like famous paintings, movie stars, old school marilyn monroe posters, football posters......I wanted to get one, but the queue is constantly LONG! maybe i'll try my luck tomorrow :)
I like some silly signs in school..They have this protest thingy about rising school fees...
And I might join them during one of their protests simply cos I'm so deprived of that kind of excitement in Singapore.
Erm. i think its a peaceful protest lah :)
And i love the gorgeous sunsets.... Everytime I look at them, I lament at the sunsets we have in Singapore..
I like jogging in the evening and feeling the cold wind brush against my skin. And I like still smelling so good after my jog :P But the path is often obstructed with geese, geese droppings, sea gulls, seagull droppings, so you literally have to hop to avoid them sometimes.. I think I'm stressing Geraldine out with my keep fit campaign... I downloaded some free exercise videos.. so i'm like kickboxing, doing crunches and like punching in my room when I'm bored.. And I convinced her we'll get fat at the rate we eat the huge portions and oily stuff... So she went jogging with me one day. haha!
Truddy bought a weighing scale in her room already lor..
I like finding food in school that are "closer to home". Indian food is not bad lah.. but i miss prata... AND TEH.
And I like bumming around with the girls after dinner for a cup of steaming white hot chocolate at this cafe called "The Second Cup"... And looking at mugging people, while leisurely enjoying our exchange experience. :P
I love how occassionally, the staff is nice enough to give me a monstrous amount of whipped cream :) awwwwwwww
:) Oh well.. I SHOULD REALLY MUG FOR MY TEST NOW..... Gosh, it's so hard to concentrate and like really study hard here (when you know you just need to pass...). Still...wish me luck- my first test in Canada- TOMORROW!!! Can you believe the teacher said everyone HAD to bring tissue paper (they call it Kleenex here) because sniffling (due to running nose or something) is distracting to others!
