The overdue first entry

Yeah!!!
Finally, after a wk n half, I got my 1st post up!!
(tho i'm not quite fully settled yet)


But here's a brief summary of the events thus far...

1) Travelled 36 hours from KLIA to Raleigh - SMOOTHYly.
Nowadays Chardonnay comes at $5 per bottle, no longer free =(
And on my flight from Japan to US, I drank more than 8 cups of water to keep hydrated, The american Teen seated next to me had 8 cans of Coke!! A taste of american culture!


2) Spent a night at a buddy's buddy place, somewhere out of no where, but a very nice home that comes with a garage, a well and er... black- n-white-fury-Dog?

3) I'm in a dorm that has 4 twin sharing rooms, thr're , incld myslef, 4 exchange students in the B-school. All of us got paired up with transferred student (which means local laaa). So altogether 5 nationalities; Aussie, Bulgarian, Malaysian, Spaniard and the US. Woo hoo!!
And erm... it is common for the local students to have fridge/ microwave/Tv and, sometimes, printer.

Can you spot the fridge/ Microwave/ Copier, Fax Scanner?



4) UNC is HUGE!!! and it is like a sanctuary (gt church in the sch, which is weird cause we have a very vibrant gay lesbian and homo society here!).

Nearest place to shop is in the next town at Durham, and is only accessible if you have a car =(
So much for taking Singapore's convenience for granted!!



5) Made alot friends and have been to a few local events as well. It helps instilled that "I'm-part-of-UNC thing". Will feature in blogs later. So stay tuned!

Hey Bro!

So glad to have finally seen some photos of you in US. 4 to a room seems to be quite a crowd. Snap somemore photos and keep the post coming.
