it's been a while since you last visited me. Guess it's time for the interview huh.
Lately, you've become quieter. Why is that so?
Sometimes I felt that I have done nothing majorly wrong, or it isn't my fault, but I am being blamed for it. It has happened to me quite a few times already, but I know people usually tell me for my own good, so I usually won't reply back. I admit sometimes that they could phrase it better though. At times I also don't want to retort back as you might never know, someday you too might make that similar mistake. I never liked scolding or arguing back, as I too was once a very hot-tempered person. I do not wish to see myself turn into that 'monster' again.
This is not the way to go! What are you going to do about this?
I guess I could ask them why do they feel it is wrong. I admit that if I am wrong, I try my best to correct my mistakes. I guess I am sort of 'too serious' in some sense, so maybe it's about time to lighten up.
Okay... how's school?
In terms of my study, I think I'm slowly accustomed to the lifestyle of this school. And although we recently had some issues with our story stage, I felt that we've done a good job making the story work, such that the team is agreeable to it. Despite our conflicts at times, I hope that the team will be bonded together!
How can you be a happier, dude?
As I said before, I guess I would like to see the team work together towards a common goal. That's probably a reason to make me happy. I would also be happy that I get to experience and explore different things during my stay, so sometimes I feel a slight sense of sadness whenever my friends went to sightsee without me. But I guess it's normal, I mean, if they never asked you, it isn't right to self-invite or ask them for invitation, is it? Maybe it's also just me, but I feel happy when my friends are happy, hahaha, I know, so silly.
Any final words you want to say?
I'm learning a lot of stuff everyday. I guess I still have a lot to work on in terms of life skills and communication. So... many thanks to my fellow friends who's helped me and 'nagged' at me along the way, hahaha. and thanks buddy. Really thanks. :)
and that concludes my post of the day. I guess I'll look back to this post, and reflect on how I can improve myself. ( Hope this kinds of post don't happen so often. )

"Hello World."
Yes, this is what I have learnt in CS 115 so far, and I would like to say that I'm finally in the USA, and have started my final semester of study not too long ago!!!
It's been a very very long time since I've ever wrote anything on a blog. And it might be a good time to start practising again. (or so i feel) But prior to this, I stumbled upon a book that says blogging might have its disadvantages for business, so I think I will give it a try once again to see if it's effective.
Today I'm gonna talk about the adventures to USA. I admit that I really learnt a lot through the journey, and I will try to summarise what I got out of this:
The korea trip was overall a very fun experience. It's similar to home whereby there are still familiar flavours of food and spices. I enjoyed my short stay there, although there are some things that didn't go according to plan. I guess even though I want to explore as much of Seoul as possible, I think there is a need to take a break once in a while and take it slow. I also kind of learn that having a backup plan is good in a event where you can't do anything (such as a typhoon).
Seattle's another nice place to hang around. But do take note that unlike the eastern countries, there are less chilli and use different spices. The travel times from place to place are longer as they are further away from each other. Compared to Singapore, it might be a 15 minute walk from a mall to a restaurant. Do expect to have long waiting times, but usually the waits are worth it. I'm also starting to understand that one have to be decisive, in terms of eating or going to places.
The school here's quite different from the one back at Singapore. Studying here is a bit different, such as the use of Moodle, and the idea of having two 1.5 hr classes. They have a nice cafeteria and the lecturers are quite awesome in their own way. I'm currently taking a number of general electives and a final group project this semester. I felt there was a bumpy start in the project, but I begin to understand that I have to be better in communication here and also make the right decisions.
Before closing this post, I would like to thank my friends for being patient and very understanding. They've tried to make me understand a lot of things throughout the journey so far. Thanks and I hope we'll have more exciting times in USA!..:)
