C's Get Degrees?

This week has consisted of exhaustion. I think that all of the craziness that happened in Bali has finally caught up to me. Even when I get a full 8 hours of sleep, I am still tired. It's as if when I go on these trips, I have one big huge shot of adrenaline that lasts me the entire time, then I get back to Singapore and drop dead. Then come back to life long enough to book another trip. Next I go through the motions of school...eat some canteen food...run...go out for ladies night...then before I know it I am off again on another adrenaline rush. The lifestyle of the exchange student!!

This last Monday was Christina's 21st birthday. We went to Cafe Iguana, a Mexican restaurant at Clarke Quay. Everyone ate their body weight in chips and salsa. I don't want to see another tortilla chip or salsa for the rest of this exchange. Or my life for that matter. Clearly the little waitress lady and the manager guy were getting upset at how often we requested more (about every 4 minutes). I finally met Fernanda's boyfriend, who came all the way from MEXICO to visit her! He might be one of the funniest, I-dont-care-what-you-think, goofiest guys ever. His random spanish words, and the way he said them, were hilarious. And they are clearly very in love.. It was very cute.

Of course it started POURING right before we left!! It's the singaporean curse to start raining as you are literally on your way to your birthday party!




This week has been rather mellow. Meeting up with Jenny and Melody to discuss our travels (Both girls are such rebels in their own right)...and of course meeting up with Sam and Yun and Julie, and the boys. Tommy came back from his extended leave of absence to HK and Taiwan to see his girlfriend. And my Poa Poa. Who gave him a red pocket. When I saw him again after 3 weeks, he was skinnier and cut his hair. My jaw dropped.
But it is weird because now that T is back, Big D is in Australia. So it's been a long time coming since DDTRR has been together officially. And even when we go to VIetnam next weekend - little D won't be with us (he is anti-vietnam, although he is vietnamese and doesn't know it). Hopefully we can all go to HK at the end of exchange together though.

I talked to Ron today, and we had a GREAT conversation. I do miss my dear brother. But he seems to be okay occupying himself ;)

I have really been missing my friends back home a lot lately. At least I have been keeping up to date a bit with them via facebook messaging and what not. I am going to be traveling so much in these upcoming weeks, so I have to get so much schoolwork done...but focusing here is SO much harder than at home. I have the mindset of an SDSU frat boy when it comes to school: C's Get Degrees! What have I become?
