Melissa Quicho

So I'm off to SINGAPORE! I'm really going to MISS you all so much that I'm getting a bit nervous...but definitely excited at the same time! I haven't even thought about packing yet - the idea of cramming 6 months of life in 2 luggages is seriously daunting. I'll soon be living in the FUTURE with the +15 hour time difference...assuming that I survive my 23-hour flight!??! [insane] I'll be studying at the National University of Singapore (NUS). According to Newsweek, it's ranked 31st in the world and 3rd throughout Asia, which only means that a graded curve would probably push me down to an even lower F! Word is, people steal textbooks to sabotage their peers. I can't even name a single person that would do that here?! er at least not for the grade...maybe for money haha. Instruction is all in English (although it's really SINGLISH - i'm gonna have to learn), but there is a total of four official languages, including Mandarin (Chinese), Malay, and Tamil. I'm hoping to pick up some of it so I can figure out what these locals are probably gonna be saying behind my exchange-student back! I plan on exploring Malaysia, Thailand, Indo, and the Philippines while abroad so I'll be sure to take 3748923 pictures to share!

Please don't forget to send me e-mails and pictures too! (message board & contact tabs above) I'll try my best to keep you updated with this bliggity blog! As for now, I'll be chewing the most Orbit I can and spitting like a mofo before it's all taken away from me...Dun worry, I can one lah! (Don't worry, I can do it)

Peace & Love.
