1. updates on life. point form for first time in long while cos too lazehh
2. blog title is coincidental reference to my watch which keeps lagging and misleading me. i was taking my own sweet time studying today cos my watch said it was 8.40pm, but the sky was strangely dark outside and i checked my laptop, turns out it was 9.05pm. felt like i just lost 25min of my life.
3. speaking of studying, there was a funny moment just now while we were all studying tgt in one of the group study rooms in the library (they have like 50 of these amazing little seminar rooms here, as compared to NUS which has three times the student population and five times fewer of those rooms in CLB. unbelievable). we looked up at one point and were like, why are we studying so hard just to pass?
i guess it's kind of funny how the attitude and willingness to learn just changes so much without the pressure of grading and competition in NUS. really loving my student life here, and how i have a workload that actually allows me to breathe. all of us pretty much dread going back to NUS.
4. also had oily chinese food today for dinner, cost about SGD7. it was from the little chinese restaurant a floor below the uni canteen- we'd been meaning to try it for some time now. it was underwhelming, but oh wells, was a funny experience actually eating from one of those stereotypical american chinese takeout boxes you only see in movies. (didn't come with fortune cookies though.)
5. i realised a few days ago that 2 of my exams are in august. facepalm. gonna take them in SG by hook or by crook cos ain't nobody going through that whole german bureaucratic nonsense just to stay half a month more and take 2 exams.
but this means my last day of school will be 20 July. so... to fly back early to sg alone, or to travel around (maybe to croatia or something), then fly back on 1 Aug with my friends? really cannot decide sia. on one hand, i get to go home early, settle down, chill a bit before i take my exams and start the next semester. but i have to take a train and fly for a total of 17-18 hours alone. on the other hand, i get to travel to another country, and then fly back with my friends!! but all the travel planning, and the giant amount of travel money... and the extra settling-down time i'll lose. omg i really dk.
6. in other news, next 1-2 weeks will be pretty busy- going to zurich with the uni this coming saturday!! excitinggg. then next week i'm going to lucerne + interlaken, and the week after, to pompeii and naples. it's crazy cos i always see videos of lucerne + interlaken on fb, and now i'm actually going to go there. can't believe it.
7. random fact: i've developed a newfound love for full fat milk. it just tastes so GUD.
8. the weather has been really changing of late, and after 2 months plus of being here, i've finally changed my jeans (yes, i've been wearing the same pair of jeans for >2 months) for a lighter pair of jeans and my jacket for a lighter spring jacket. yayyyyy.
on the down side, i wake up feeling a little sweaty these days, even though i've already adjusted the heater to its lowest temperature. #signs of summer
9. i know it's kind of early to be thinking about this, but damn i'm gonna miss the friends i've made here on exchange when it's time to go home. but tbh... it's just one person HAHA she's a hongkonger who's somehow infiltrated our nus clique, her name's Susanna and she cooks amazing meals. just putting it here on my blog so i will remember her many years later when i come back to read my archives. (omg so sad.)
exchange life would not have been the same without her presence for sure; she's the most extroverted out of us by far, and she's been like glue, meshing ice-cream sticks together.
i am terrible at goodbyes.
