backload
enrolled myself in ucl today. (my hair is weird on the photo!) but at least the woman asked me what name i wanted on the card and i told her jodie ng instead of my chinese name. haha some other guy got his chinese name on it unfortunately. then i saw my hallmates and they nicely brought me to register for the it services so i can get my ucl email and access the ucl internet in future. then we alll went to the health centre to get registered.
okay here’s the backload what i blogged about my first few days here but didn’t get posted up :( i typed this really nice long post but it disappeared :(
ok, so when i first got on the plane, it actually felt really weird that no one was staring at me cos i was wearing a singapore shirt. HAHA cos every other time that i’ve taken a plane in the past dunnohowmany years it was for a comp. haha it felt weird that the stewards/stewardesses weren’t extra nice to me and no one was asking what sport i’m in.
and then when i got to my aunt’s house and did some unpacking (more like my mum did), we realised that the front pocket of our luggage was opened up and someone stole my… (wait for it) PIMPLE CREAM! the super effective french one. scary huh. and nothing else was stolen. though the stuff in that front pocket were all non-essentials.
ok besides that, haha i’m actually quite glad that so many people gave me food and snacks at the airport. cos besides cel’s instant noodles, i hardly packed any other food that remind me of singapore! and reading all the notes and stuff on the plane, i almost teared :/ (haha mel, you/cel was right i suppose)
last thing, it had really hit me that i wont be in singapore for the next 9 months. every so often i think like, oh i must tell so and so about this story! or i wanna go buy bubble tea! but then i realise i can’t. or its veryy troublesome. sigh ohwell. things will change i guess.
ok and i’ll try to take more photos! but it feels very touristy to do that, and i’m trying not to be a tourist here. i’m gonna be living here for 3 years!
