yo

another weekend whooshed by, and soon i'll be hearing two of your voices with funny brit accents. on funny brits, i got to see terry pratchett and take a picture with him! two books signed by him too... it's so cool to see idols in the flesh. But disconcerting too. People don't turn out the way you thought they were lah. But you can always count on chim to be chim. As usual, it's 1am monday morning and i'm rushing my weekly papers. my resolution to be disciplined for once went poof when wang ning popped by from stanford on saturday and stayed overnight. it's good to see an old face, but again, weird in a way. i'm settling down nicely in a new life now, got over most of the teething problems (except how to be less of a bitch hehehe shup you'll be proud of me my inner bitch is surfacing alarmingly but i'm trying to be genial chim again so too bad less interesting i guess). anyway, yeah somehow i'm just very very very at peace now, no more "insidious waves of homesickness". i'm surprised i was even homesick, cos i really thought i wouldn't have problems. got over it quickly, but hey fuzz and jo i wonder if you guys can beat the pattern of settling in. and shup i don't know how to classify your case leh cos you can still go home on weekends which is a godsend in some ways.

now to figure out how to avoid having to rush 2 papers every sunday night/monday morning with a ton of reading as required preparation. this week is extra siong lah... but how to not welcome wang ning right. see how hospitable i am so you guys MUST VISIT.

on travelling, i think i'm seriously going to south america during winter break with some berkeley freshmen and other people who're friends of morris, berkeley guy. hehehe. rodrigo santoro! gael bernal garcia. just two examples of the fine things that come out of that region. no lah, i want to go there for the history and geography of that area. it's a crazy place man. but if i see rodrigo santoro it's a bonus i guess. now to plan the trip properly so my mom won't veto it. but er please tell me what you uk ferrets are doing in winter k.

okok photos another day. history calls...
