sometimes i wonder. what is purpose of studying overseas. i'm really glad to be where i am now, and not elsewhere. i'm not putting down other institutions of education, just the quality of life they offer. i suppose i am privileged. really. spoiled. lucky. whatever you call it. i worked my ass off here. i chose to come here. because this is where no other of my kind has ventured before.


honestly, what is the whole point of coming here if i know what to expect and who i'm going to meet? again, not stomping down on say, bruneians studying in the UK, but really, life could not get anything more interesting if i met the same people everyday and had the same classes as them. freeze and i had a discussion about this, quite a few times really, but we could not exhaust the topic. we see these groups of koreans going to the same classes and basically, living togethre every friggin day. how boring could that be. not to mention a waste o money and time. if you're going to be in a foreign country you've gotta at least experience new things.

that's how i see it. not being racist and all. but i just think its ridiculous to go to a new place and stick the same ol habits.

i wanna live and learn. so yeah. gimme the unknown anyday. the comfort zone has become boring and old news. its time to step outside our little bubbles and see what else is out there.

speakin o which, to date, i 've met (and know) frat guys, alcoholics, party addicts, potheads, nerds, geeks, druggies, musicians, dancers, sorority girls, and others. these are just bits of people's personalities which stand out to me. it does not mean that those terms define them though. everyone has a bigger side to their character, and one can never tell how intelligent (or not) a person is until they've really talked to them. it really is interesting to meet all kinds o people. you hear different perspectives and ideas and you begin to question yourself, who you really are and what you stand for. instead o just getting second rate and sometimes even fiction from the idiot box, i get to say i know things first hand because i've met these people.


so yes, i'm learning a lot and i dare say will continue to do so for a while. and if you're questioning my intentions and my actions here, i'm sorry to say you would never have known me at all if you doubt my character. or, you simply have trust issues that you need to fix. pffffffttt.


anyway, that aside, i've gotten an awesome compilation o music from a friend. daym. and i learned to live the dorm life today, thanks to freeze. i had dinner at a dorm. was so friggin fun. the buffet. omg. i hadnt had such good food in a long time. filling food that is. had pasta with fried vege and choc cake. well theres always the unhealthy side o dorm food. its a buffet, wadya expect. then we had late nights at another dorm. jeez the snacks and sodas galore. i *heart* how we're spoiled for choice here. the food. amazing. and no, we never had to compromise either. still sticking to fish and veges. we underestimated the variety o food they have here. they really do cater to everyting. would've been so much fun living in a dorm. but hey, this way, we get the best o both worlds cos we now know dorm people life and house people life, which is awesome.

i'm so stuffed right now. its hilarious. this is why i'm glad i dont live in a dorm because otherwise would be really pudgy right now. the days o starvation and poor food (i'm exaggerating) helped keep the weight normal. hahahaha. but yes. it is interesting to see how people manage to stay healthy living in dorms. its amazing.


right now, i really should be getting some sleep or some work done, but im digesting the remnants of my super filling meals. food coma!!!!! ^^
