schooling days
i know, it has been a long time since i last updated on what have been going on in my life here in canada. but it's just that school has started, and was busy and didn't have the feel to go blog.. so well, today is just the day.
let's see. i have been to chinatown for dimsum with my bro and our housemates on the previous last saturday, and the next day went to koreatown with my bro and some friends for lunch. then the weekends passed, and school started just last tuesday..
talking about school, the first day of school was hell. so torturing. especially when most of the students were here last yr, so they had their own cliches and stuff. remind me so much of the time in amkss when i'm with my own group of friends. i miss you guys back in spore and schooling in amkss! i'm like a hermit during lessons. many people from my school are from hongkong and my cantonese isn't that good, so it's kind of hard to communicate. the first few days, there was this urge to like just hurry and return home to my comfort-zone. it's the weird kind of don't-want-to-be-here and terribly-so-alone feeling.
for now, the situation has improved. well at least i made a few other new friends. it's kindda fun during lessons sometimes. there's homework nearly everyday, and quizzes and tests are starting to roll in one by one.
the school students were recently separated into 5 different grps, something like school houses. and we have inter-house games every wednesday during break. this wednesday we played this stick-on-the-wall-with-ductape game. had this girl stand on the chair and then tape them to the wall within a time frame. and then had to pull out the chair and see who can last the longest. oh well, the grp i was in was supposedly the first to fall. huh.
oh yes, on the 19 january, last wednesday, i experienced my first heavy snow. there were some very light snow pellets, called flurries for a few days. well anyway, there wasn't any lessons (i found out only after i reached the school). the whole pavements and trees are covered with thick-white-blankety snow.
the weather now is quite cold but turning for the warmer side. thank god. every morning it's freezing cold. and when i walk to school, the cold wind will be blowing into my face making me all so dry and cracky. arrrgghhh..
this weekend i'm staying home. to finish my homework and study, and because my bro has an assignment due next wk. better go now. update more, soon, i hope. =)
