The first day in Ho Chi Minh City has so far been enjoyable. Met a lot of new vietnamese friends who were very friendly. Treated us to dinner, brought us around the Reunification Palace. Can really feel their warmth and hospitality. Considering that we were strangers before today (they were boon kian's friends). I was thinking, was i like them when overseas friends came to visit me in SG?

After touching down and crashing into my bed for about 8 hrs, it was off to meeting up with my dear friends whom i have not been spending time with since sch ended.

First up was with the kachangs girls.... haven't had a full outing since (dunno when)... part of the gathering was also to send ziwei off, who will be spending the next sch term in UK. after a yummy lunch at crystal jade, we headed off to marina 'BRArrage' where we took some absolutely stunning pictures...

After the kachangs girls was DD07! It has been a year since our trip last year and we all missed the good times we had together... It was definitely fun telling them stories of what happened on our trip and remisicing the good old days of DD07. It suddenly just felt like we were on the trip itself, except that this time round, it was at ben's super nice house instead of the villagers' house.

Yesterday evening was spent with the geog soc ppl.. a simple potluck dinner with fru fru licking and climbing onto all of us... fru fru has grown really big... time spent with them is always so enjoyable, catching up with boon kian and of course all the lame jokes frm cliff.

entries about dd08 coming up soon..... maybe after my vietnam trip!

I'm finally back. It has been a long 19 days and it was indeed very very tiring.... shall update more next time round!

and i am so happy with my results this sem! Finally able to pull my CAP up to my desired score. of course, that is after S/U-ing the C+ that i got...

It's a freaking cold morning.....

and i am departing in a few hours time. Unlike last year, there seems to be no excitement for me this year. Perhaps it is because it's my 3rd time to danang and definitely i am much better prepared...

ok... will be back on 26th dec.

I got my SEP! not at hong kong uni, but my 2nd choice, chinese university of hong kong. I would have preferred HKU as it is nearer to central and causeway bay area whereas CUHK seems a bit ulu... Well, it's still hong kong and i guess i am gonna take that. Was initially quite worried that i will be posted to china but now things are more or less settled. and it's a start of a long administrative process before i fly off. 1 more sem to go... It feel good to be able to get out of SG for a while.

and it is just so hard to concentrate on cities for one more day!!!! I am getting so so so distracted here and there!!

3204 is just horrible. Half of the time, i am doubting what i am writing. At least it was a rather clear cut choice on the qns cause the rest of the qns were just ......

at least i have much more confidence in tomorrow's paper.

and it's just one week before we depart for danang and i have the feeling that many things are unsettled... maybe it's just me, or maybe it is really a lot of things unsettled?
