1100 pm: Hello Waterloo
It was indeed a tiring journey!!!... 4 hrs to Hong Kong n 14 hrs to Toronto n 1.5 hrs to Waterloo. I am supposed to sleep during the trip but the seats on the plane was so terrible ( i took Cathay pacific by the way), that i can't sleep well. I keep tossing around n changing position but to no avail. haiz... Then i started to look through the entertainment. Unfortunately, i have watched most of the movies. Yar... wadeva.... The food was acceptable though especially the ice cream.. YUMMY!!! hehhe...
After we arrived at Toronto, we got delayed because we can't find the mini bus that was supposed to bring us to UW. We took some time to locate the desk n board the bus. We arrived at CLV (our residence) at around 11 pm. We were extremely exhausted and cold by then. However, it seemed that everyone can't sleep early including myself. The next morning, i woke up really early like 630 am. Surprisingly early for me, considering that i rarely will wake up so early. Not forgetting, the daylight here is really long from 830 pm to 5 am ?? I m not really sure but it is about there.
Then my first day of school was WOW!!!... I have 5 classes that day but it was amazingly refreshing and fun. The weather was still really cold. I wished i brought more jackets. I thought it would be HOT. I mean... HELLO!!!!! it is supposed to be SUMMER!!!!... Anyway, the classes here are really different from NUS. We don't really have lecture notes, we have to copy all our notes. Plus!! all the lectures are only one hour long!!! hehehe... This is a much better system i guess... At least by copying, i get to listen n understand the topic. Also, it seems that lots of quizzes, assignments are a trend here. We have like lots of works to do even if it is juz the 2nd week of class.
Besides the academic, UW is really a very serene place. There are no tall buildings around. The scenery is really beautiful. I cant's really describe it so i might as well show it on photos. There are lots of geese and squirrels around though. Not forgetting, MY ROOM!!!...There are 4 of us living in a house, sharing a living room, kitchen, washroom.... My housemates: Emma, Emily n Sun Qing. Everybody lives quite near to each other actually. HEHHE... dun wan to talk much now... show more pics then...in random!!!
