Running cold

it's 8am but i'm up. yeah. hahah.. so 'hardworking' hor? now it seems my body is tuned to 'automatically' wake up after about 8 hrs of sleep. i know i shld sleep-in more since i'm sick but laid on the bed for the past 1hr to no avail..

well, technically, i'm running cold (it's aircon whole day even though the sun's shining bright) as well as running a cold. bleah. yeah but i've been blessed by the friends i've made over 2 days. lots of them. they are all from NTU doing GIP (global immersion program) here aka exchange program.. studying in the same uni as shaohong. think i've met almost all 24 of them but heh, yours truly 'harddisk' space limited.. so have not been able to remember most of their names yet. went to this international students' lunch (read: free) then headed to IMA (cant remember the full name but it's the uni's sports & recreation centre - SRC). man, it's big! shao lent me his student card to go in (lucky they didnt look at the face.. =P). went to the lounge & watched soccer! rare right? hahah. liverpool vs ac milan. but it was already extra time when i sat down in front of this big tv together with a big crowd of boys & 1 gal. havent had this opportunity to watch with so many pple.. the atmosphere was cool. how the liverpool supporters & anti-liverpool supporters 'fought'. esp during the penalty shootouts.

then it was a game of badminton & squash with brandon & weimin. hahha.. all the way to seattle to play sports huh? =P was quite fun. the SRC's huge (4 floors) & man, there are in all 3 gyms i think. pretty large ones too with lots of equipment. there's even an indoor running track!! indoor pool (not sure if heated), couple of squash courts, handball courts, badminton courts, bball courts (too bad i missed NBA here.. seattle lost 2 weeks ago, didnt get past play-offs). the locker room's huge too. probably almost 1/2 a level.

the students invited me for dinner last night. ate at this thai restaurant.. food was nice but alittle spicy (maybe it's because of my sore throat). shared with 2 other gals (garyan & shuwen) this beef curry & orange chicken combo. 6USD (my 1st spending)..
