it's the best of sleep i have since SMU started. peaceful. undisturbed. happy. cooling. 11 hours doesn't make it the longest rest i've had though =) still, i woke up feeling contended. and that's what matters to me. it's been 2 months...

i had a huge lunch. and i had prawn and char siew fried rice for dinner. i felt amused hahaha, cuz someone just told me about her loved char siew paos =) i like char siew paos too. and i think paos in Vietnam taste even better than that.

well i'm starting on my revision today. i'm awaken, remember? =) it's been a long day of sleeping and eating and eating and sleeping... i prefer to think of that as warming up though =) right after this i'm gonna go through at least 4 chapters of stats.

solitude's good to the soul sometimes. but i'd mind if i'm alone often hahaha...

in a far far away land of Geneve, Vietnam's entered the WTO. speaking of Vietnam, i realize there are two types of Vietnamese students in S'pore:

1. People who've just come. They tend to stay with each other. That makes perfect sense, cuz they don't know many people yet. and being close to each other helps, like making them feel belonged, protected...

2. People who've been here for years, especially those who'd gone to JC. They exude this sense of difference. dress sense. speech (not many though). social habits. A good many of them don't like to mix with the first group. It's not a cool thing to them.

there's a reason why i speak of them as "them" and not "us". cuz i'm not in the first group. but i ain't exactly in the second either. just let me make myself clear, that i have no problem with Vietnamese staying together. i have no problems with Vietnamese hanging out with the locals. as long as i'm happy, i can be all with Vietnamese, or i can be all with locals.

and let me make myself clear, too, that i hate those people who THINK they know a lot about S'pore and dislike the country for what they don't know. i hate those who think bad of Vietnam. i hate the elitish few who act as if they were the coolest people of their kind here. oh i'm (a bit) elitish too by the way =) thing is, i know who i am and i do what i like.

People, Vietnam's now the 150th member of the WTO. She needs internationally exposed citizens who feel for the country.

why do i sound so nationalistic here, hahaha... I am not that nationalistic k =) i just say what i feel like saying...
