Berkeley Summer Session 08 Is Over
It truly has been a long time since I last blogged. At last, my exams are over! I just sat for my last (it also happened to be the first) exam paper today. The subject I took was EE100 Electronic Techniques for Engineering.
I must say that a lot of things have happened. I've seen how people mugged through the whole night, how toilet doors do not stay close when they are supposed to, how "kiasu" some people here can get, how friendships grow, how packing more than 8 books into your bag is stupid, how people here behave...etc.
I will be back in Singapore in 2 more days. I've missed like 2 weeks of school and hopefully I still can catch up.
So far I am pretty satisfied with how things are going in life. All I can say is that the Lord is good.
I am now in Stern Hall writing this post. I just moved here. Apparently, they placed me in a suite. It has two beds but I am the only occupant here. Nice!
Interestingly, the people here don't really know where Singapore is. It's like when I tell them I am from Singapore, they are like "Oh is that somewhere in India?" Diao! There's this guy who said that Singapore is in Thailand...well at least it's closer to its actual place.
Tomorrow I will be shopping around for family and friends back in India...wait I mean Thailand...er no...Singapore.
Then there was once we were eating with this girl from America. We taught her how to speak some Hokkien words such as "Wah piang" and "Wah lau". It was a very interesting experience...lol.
Anyway, when I go back to Singapore, I hope that the workload there will be fine.
