Its 2.30 am local time.

Din sleep much on the plane, was reading and watching movies and listening to music. Was a very good flight, apart from the fact that the air hostess keep on talking to me in Korean, and I’d ‘wakalimasen’ to them. They even passed me an immigration form in Korean, had to request for it in English. The food was quite good, had a Korean meal, where u wrap the rice up in vege, and a Chinese meal. Would get enough of steaks in the US, I figure.

Immigration was quite fast, and the official also joked with me along the way. Seems like quite a few Chicago students were arriving today (makes sense) and at least 3 were on the same flight as me. This Korean(?) had like 8 pieces of luggage with him, luckily he was traveling with his parents. Once again, if I need anything, THANKS GUYS! I dun really like to go round buying stuff, unless bo bian leh.

I have a newfound respect for those scholars who came over to Singapore to study in sec 3. It can be a frightening experience, all the more so at that age, coming here alone to study, to fight for their better future, to compete amongst all of us. I admit (as always) that I have wrongly complained abt their existence in Singapore, considering the benefits that they bring along. This is more apparent as im not the ‘alien’ on another country’s soil, fighting once more for my ground.

Hm, honours in maths requires GPA of 3.25 … that’s a bit scary, because its so low, which means that the grades are even harder to come by. Now to juggle a whole host of considerations, which course to take, at what difficulty level, what grade to aim for. Have been thinking abt this for some time already, there are just so many interesting courses out there, like philosophy, psychology, biology, computer science, ASL. (I’m very interested in how the mind develops logical thinking, could be a by-product of my training) Was even considering doing a Mathematics in Neurological Science course, but think I shan’t touch that. Haven’t even decided which area of maths I shall specialize in, think can leave that for later after I have experienced the course, and maybe chatted to some people.

Am wondering if jet lag has set in, slept from 9pm to 2am, but considering the normal hours I keep back in Singapore, this seems normal LOL but guess that I have to switch my body clock back to daylight timing. Parents are also awake, and they are really in jet lag. Would be touring round Chicago today, dun really know what and where to go. Lets just see where my feet take me.

Lots of the doubts and worries are coming back. I’m so not prepared for uni. (what do I mean by that, I have no idea) What do I want out of this? What do I want to achieve? What shall I do? This free spirit is at a lost. Can’t wait for TK to arrive in 12 hrs, think he’d settle me down slightly at least.

I’m beginning to miss home, like I know I’d. The convenience of it, the warmth of it, the security of it. My 24 hr internet connection, being able to talk to someone if I so desire, knowing where everything is … am so ready to turn about at the drop of a hat, but I know im just being silly.


Yea, I know these entries can get quite long, but who cares right? This is my dumping ground for my thought, unspoken words that want to get out and are finding an avenue to do just that.
