Semester Startoff
I’ve been really bad about blogging. But it’s about time and I certainly don’t want to start every blog entry like this! So… what has happened? Lots! I made a quiet trip back to Singapore to spend time with family mostly and it was really did me good because I’m more ready to take on this semester at school. I hope it lasts till the end of the course. I love my teachers. And my classmates are a lot warmer to each other. I think time has opened us up.
Independence Day was great. I spent it playing my favorite computer game, Ultima Online. Over the weekend I also watched Batman Begins. It was generally impressive to me except for some things. Like why did he have to alter his voice as Batman?
My cactus isn’t doing too well. It is dying. And for some reason I’m really attached to it. It must be because I rely on it for emotional support. I did buy it for its "orangeness" to cheer me up each day. But I must keep telling myself it’s just a plant. I’ve dissected plants before.
I took some wonderful pictures in Singapore (attached are pictures of the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay and The Great Singapore Sale on Orchard Road) . I even overheard a group talking about me as I took them, saying, "Why do these people from Hong Kong come from one city to another. It’s basically the same thing." It’s amazing how quick we are to judge. On that note, do catch the film "Crash". It will make you think twice.
