Sunset

When looking at the sky makes me feel happy to be alive :) Quite rare la, for that to happen in Singapore. But I must learn to be appreciative for what I have!

P.S. Looks better in real life. ;p

P.P.S. 思亮，这是从我家的阳台拍的啦！你竟然以为是san diego...

巻き寿司とおにぎり

昨日、授業は１１じに終わった。あたし１９７番のバスに乗って、Jurong East 駅に着いた後で、急に　IMM　に行きたかった。ダイソーで楽しんで買い物した！何が買ったの？　答えは。。。いろいろな料理道具！

ダイソーで売っている物は全部二ドルなので、貧乏のあたしは大好き！＾＾　＜手巻き寿司セット＞　と　＜おにぎり器　三角　大小セット＞　を買った。そして、今日はその道具で手巻きとおにぎりを作った！


材料と道具～


出来上がり＾＾

Yippee!

Woke up late today and was taking forever to gather my documents to go for the US visa interview... Old passports and what not. Had to first go down to Novena to collect my interview letter. Got the shock of my life when I alighted from the cab outside the embassy! There was such a long queue -bleah- So everyone was waiting in the sweltering sun, with the occasional fanning and the sweat-stained shirt as indications of our discomfort. Was kinda worried I wouldn't make it in in time since the interviews were only supposed to go on till 11, but luckily the guard eventually let everyone in :)

The interviews were quite entertaining. One of the interviewing officers spoke really loudly, so everyone could hear what the conversational exchange was like between her and her "victim". This one girl was quite poor thing, by the time her interview was over I think everyone knew her family history :p Parents divorced, one of them in Kenya, brother in Singapore, etc. And this other guy! He's from China and came here to be part of some church, and the woman kept asking him are you an ordained minister? Evangeliser? And he couldn't answer. After a while she started saying, sir, you've been rejected 5 times, so I can see you are really desperate. This, of course, made him even more desperate... Ah well. And then there are the people who don't know what an index finger is and insist on using their thumbs to give their fingerprints :)

Ok. Enough of the pointless ramble. Back to work (or anime if my willpower lapses).

日曜日の飯

今日はちょっと時間があったから、巻物を作ってみた。ハハ。。。うまいぞ～～


どうぞ食べて！ 


いただきます～～ ^^

ハー。。。　やっぱり日本語のクラス取りたい。 しかし、無理だ。。。

最近、大変忙しかった。毎日毎日、研究室に行って、宿題をして、試験のために勉強して。。。すごくストレスだった。また、今週の木曜日、今までの研究について、プレゼンしなくちゃいけない。どうしよう～～何もしなかった感じだ。

サンディエゴの生活、懐かしい。。。　いつでものんびりしていたから。仲間と一緒にご飯を作ったり、ビーチでサンセット見たり、旅行したりなどした。楽しかったな。。。今の生活と全然違う！

あっ、大事なこと思い出した。明日、合衆国大使館に行くつもり。ビザを申請するように。夏休み、楽しみする！

そうだ、私は本当に日本人みたいか？他人はいつもそう思うけど。。。＾。＾

ーーーー

とにかく、バレリー、負けるな！これから最後までファイトします。みんなも、元気出してね！

Rough Patch

Must be strong. What doesn't kill me now, will make me stronger. 日本語で：　人は傷ついて大きくなります！

A Lesson Learnt

I hardly ever blog nowadays. Or really even do anything apart from work. It's struck me that I have too many commitments this semester. I should have known better... well, it's not that I didn't try to work things out in my head before I chose to undertake the various responsibilities, but they really did seem ok at the time. But now everything has exploded in my face and I'm left stretched in a million directions. Never mind, I will get through this! Aza aza fighting, 頑張れ and 加油。:)

One day I will look back on this and laugh (?) Things on hand:
(1) UROPS
(2) 3 core modules
(3) 2 x Teacher Aide projects
(4) Tuition
(5) NUSSU Travel Service stuff
(6) Work and Travel preparations

My only consolation nowadays is the Prince of Tennis. He's so cool! リョーマ越前。　リョーマ君。。。助けてくれ！I have learnt how to say 努力 in Jap from the anime, its どりょく！　Kanji is the same as the chinese characters. I must be どりょく　from now on.

Also went to the career fair today. Haha I don't wanna be an insurance agent lor please... but investment banking sounds so lucrative. Am I doing the right major? Bio students work so hard but get paid so little. Can passion alone see you through life?
