Semester in recap

YAY!! My blog's up and running again!! I didn't know it's so easy to fix the html.. XP Hehehe. Mar's probably laughing at me. :X

Anyways.. I can't believe that a whole semester has passed!! Only approximately four more months till I go back to sunny Singapore. :D This semester has been great fun, with all the nice, wonderful people I've befriended (none of whom are reading this, I hope). We've done pretty crazy things tog, and I've stayed up late waaay more than I did back home, but it was all eye opening and interesting.

Highlights of the semester:
Karaokeing at this place called yang2 guang1 where we shrieked with abandon
Chips, salsa and guacamole at this lovely mexican place whose name I can never remember (it's at 13th and sansom, tt's all I know)
Walking all the way down to Penn's Landing (it's 40 streets away) and back
New York Trip!!
Halloween party! - the first time I got -almost- drunk
Ice cream party at ws's!
Russ's homemade green bean soup and barley
Our loooong study sessions that extend late into the night
Discovering Hillel (the jewish dining hall)
Downing 3 venti starbucks in a day
Cuban food!!
South street shopping late at night
Chatting with Thomas/Yuki/Hugo in the hallway (I'd miss Thomas and Hugo!! They're lovely exchange students from Belgium, Japan and Australia)
Thanksgiving cookout
Vietnam Palace!!

Hmms. That's about it. I'd update when I can think of more.

Here's some random photos taken over the semester since I can finally upload!! =D

At Changi airport's Coffee Bean with my sis and debs. :)

Rittenhouse Square park in it's green glory..

Grand Central Terminal from the outside..

Nadia and Lionel in the bright lights near Times Square..


New York's chinatown.. It's huge in comparison to philly's..

Dalglish and Lionel on the ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty..


Gina and I in front of the Statue of Liberty.. :) We waited SO long to get onto to the ferry, but it was worth it cuz the island is really pretty. ;D



Anyways.. I'm in LA now with Marissa!! :D The past week has been lovely. Lazing around, sleeping, watching tv, eating, shopping, and most importantly, catching up with Mar. ;)

LA's nice. Tis sunny (sunnier than philly, at the very least), pretty, and has great shopping. I've bought sooo much. XP It's lovely here.

Lack of ,,,,,

Haha. Opps. I seem to be posting like.. once a month. :X Anyways.. 'tis really quite scary. Less than 2 weeks to the start of finals!! Omg. I can't believe my first sem at penn is ending so soon.. I'm looking forward to next sem though. No calculus!! :D I LOATHE calculus. Okok, I should be trying to like it if I wanna do better in it, but... argh.. I simply have no affinity for it. Probability and linear algebra sounds a lot better. :) And physical chemistry lab!! Haha. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? :P Too bad it's so time consuming though. 9.5 hrs per week for one credit is kinda too much, but I think I'd enjoy it. :)

Anyways.. I really SHOULD be mugging. What happened to the mugging mode which I used to be able to switch to?? I'm addicted to online shopping... :( 'tis a great time waster, but I looove receiving packages! Hehe.
