Yes, it's week 0, supposed to be orientation week. Although there are actually places I have to go rushing for, I kind of like it, since it gives me a sense of purpose and keeps my mind off things. It's a welcome change of environment, since it is no longer the 100% locals around me leaving me feeling like the odd one out. The orientation for international students actually made me feel at home, with so many other people being in the same situation as me. Had a small talk with the Warden of the residential college (or hostel, but they don't call it that for some reason), and looks like they have high expectations of me, and apparently the room I currently have is set aside specially for me, since it is quieter and provides a better environment for studying. I hope that I won't repeat what I did during Sec/JC days and let them down =X
I guess today is a fruitful day after all. Got my bank account set up, met up some Singaporeans who are also studying law here, done my student ID, read up the online notes provided... It might sound kind of crazy, and I am sure that I would regret saying this in the near future, but I can't wait for the actual lectures and tutorials to start. Having something to do beats having nothing to do, stoning in the room and emo-ing. And... I got my internet quota extended! It currently stands at 30GB + 10GB the college will be providing me, as well as the usual 400MB per month as mentioned earlier. I guess that lifted my spirits too, since I can surf the net with the peace of mind without the quota running out on me. Maybe my stay here won't be so bad after all!

ABUNDANT PEACE :)
