I think my depression will kick in soon enough, now that I'm no longer in San Diego. I'm typing this from the departure lounge at HK's airport. I'm not too sure when my jetlag will kick in but I feel a little disoriented now because my fingers look like bony twigs swishing across the keyboard as I type.
I'll go walk around in a few moments since my flight's at 8.55am and it's only 6.45am now. Be prepared to face a moody and sullen person for the next few months, and especially in the next few days because I miss the friends I've made in the United States, and I have to adapt back into the Singapore city lifestyle.
School will start in August, and from then till now, I have about 1 1/2 months or so to research on my final year project. What a way to be welcomed back to Singapore. :(

Seaworld and dinner with Ryan's grandparents
Ryan and I dropped by Seaworld yesterday, and met up with the sharks, sea otters, penguins, dolphins, beluga whales, starfishes, a partridge (???), seagulls, pooping crow, Elmo, tortoises, pirahnas, poison arrow frogs, venus flytraps, irritating barking sea lions and last but not least, our big friend - SHAMU! Then we headed down to Top of the Restaurant (ritzy place) for a birthday dinner for Ryan/ farewell dinner for me by the Seaport Village in downtown San Diego.
Shin, Min Jeon and I to the Beach!
We drove to Pacific Beach just the other day in Shin's convertible.. and that wasn't my first time sitting in one, but it was my first time sitting in one with the top down. Hair was just flying all around. And trust me unless you're sitting in the front with the windscreen shielding you, it hurts and stings like sh*t.

Interview with Shin
My Korean housemate, Shin, is currently doing an intership with a media company in San Diego. For his current assignment, he has to interview the people he has met during his stay in America. So he interviews me and Maki (my new Japanese roommate), asking questions about what we think of him and such.
But apart from that, we hung on in his room, drinking Japanese plum wine (smoky and sweet, but I still dislike the taste of alcohol), ate sweet, dried fishes (a Korean beer snack), my packet of Honey Mustard potato chips (my favorite), and some really sweet strawberries provided by Maki.

Been a month!
Wow it's been a month since I last updated this blog. It's the 4th of June now, and my last blog was written on the 4th of May.
Since then, I've gotten back my grades... not too shabby I say.
Design for the Internet - A
Typography III - A
Art of the Book I - A
History of Japanese Painting - B+
Surfing - A-
Woot! But it ain't all smiles now, my roommates have flown back to Singapore, most of the people have moved out of the house. So the only person whom I know there who'd probably stayed as long as me would be Shin (the Korean guy). And he's moved up to the room beside mine. I got two new roommates, Maki, a Japanese girl, and Hayeon, a Korean. So far, I've only stayed with them for one night, as I was away for the past 3 days, visiting an American friend's home. Pretty cool I say, because my friend's family lives in the high desert, in a town called Hesperia. It's fun how I get to live with an American family each time I'm here.
Soon I'll be going down to Seaworld, The Wild Animal Park, the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland in the following 2 weeks that I'll be here. I'm getting a little moodier as I type because I have fallen for San Diego and I wish that I could stay here for a longer time. My current housemates and roommates are really funny. We often cook together, and Shin cooks great Korean food almost every other day. Now Maki and I get to pick one Korean dish each, and Shin promises that he'll try to make that for us! Yippie!!!!!

Long awaited concert!
Finally!!!!! I got to watch Michael Bublé live at Cox Arena (just a 15 min walk from home).... woooottt
I didn't get to catch him the last time he came to Singapore, but heck yeah!!!! I got to see him perform.. And he's quiet the entertainer. I went with a friend who's a much bigger fan than me, considering that I know just know a few songs (not remembering the lyrics too), but I am astounded by his vocals, that's why I went to watch his performance.
