I just came back from the Niagara Falls trip with the rest of the international students.... So please pardon my gushing over the beauty of the falls, and all the fun I had with this bunch of friends. I'm amazed at how beautiful the pictures turned out today!   We hopped on this boat which took us really close to the waterfall called the Maid of the Mist :) But even along the way, you could hear loads of " Soooo pretty!!" and cameras clicking away because the view was simply breathtaking!   Sooo pretty right! Yup, so that's the boat we took. And everyone had to put on this (ugly) blue poncho because we were told that it would be a wet ride! And they were not kidding, IT WAS REALLY REALLY WET. I'm still amazed at how everyone's cameras can still continue functioning despite them being exposed to showers of water! Initially I was a bit irritated that my beautiful pictures of Niagara Falls had to include photos where I was wearing a blue poncho, but I'm glad I chose to keep it on, because it prevented me from getting a lot more wet than I already got.    More photos and even more photos! I helped Truddy take a lot of photos today because she gong3-gong3" left her camera charger in Singapore!!  Then we settled for some cheap thrills in the shops nearby! We didn't buy anything, cos verything inside was so expensive lah! But we went around snapping pictures with most of the stuff anyway, then scurried out before we were scolded or something...  Oooh. that girl beside me and geraldine is a new friend from Germany. She told me that when she was in high school or something, they were forced to attend mandarin classes once a week. But she said they just had to repeat a few phrases to get their certificate, and up til now, she has no idea what was it that she recited then..!!!But she's really nice! Outside, up Clifton Hill, it was a whole street of museums (wax museums..believe it or not museums, lego museums...), haunted houses, amusement rides, candy shops ... The whole group of us certainly had fun walking around! There were so many things to look at!  The bus left at about 3 that day, so we didn't really get time to visit the museums and walk far, but Truddy's cousin will be driving us here again soon, so hopefully we really get to enjoy everything they have there.Heh! Anyway, did i mention how remarkably clean/dry/mud-free/green the grass fields here are? That's why people here sit on the grass to read/ eat lunch all the time! So the girls decided we HAD TO take some shots of us on the grass, since we are not going to do this in Singapore anyway.    Oh ya, a lot of people were MUGGING ON THE BUS JOURNEY THERE!!! Gosh... But i had so much fun today!!!! And now I have to face reality and complete the 3 assignments due this week and my psych and law test on friday!! OH YA!!! I'M GOING TO NEW YORK IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!! I'm REALLY EXCITED!!!
