Chinese New Year!!!

Happy Chinese New Year to all back in Singapore!!!

As I'm typing this, its the 6th of Feb (Wed) in San Diegan time, but my friends and I will be celebrating our 'reunion' dinner on Thursday night instead - unlike Singapore where there'll be holidays, we still have to go to school!

This time, reunion dinner will be a very different affair, as we'll be celebrating it with not just our Singaporean mates, but with people from Hong Kong and Korea! I was surprised that the Koreans celebrate it too, so we'll have our Korean housemate and his friends cooking Korean cuisine for us all alongside our Singaporean dishes - Hainanese chicken rice and wonton soup.

School has been pretty frustrating for me, considering the fact that I'm the only art student in the house and there'll always be tonnes of hw for me to complete (making art is time consuming)... Apart from that, my classes usually end later than my friends' and so I hardly get to go out with them... :( And I thought that studying at SDSU would be slacker than studying in NTU.

I can't wait for this Friday though!!! I'll be having my swimming test (a prerequisite for surfing class) and then we'll be going to catch Cirque du Soleil in action!!!! ARGGGGGHHHH!!!! We got the expensive tickets, but its good cuz we'll be sitting down at the 3rd row from the front!!!!

Right now, as part of my Typography III lesson, I'll be designing a poster to get young Americans between the ages of 18 - 29 to participate in the voting elections. I think it's an awkward time for me as I'm not into politics, and neither am I an American. But this project's rather fun to me as I get to explore with different mediums to make type.

Btw, thank you papa, mama and Kong Seng for sending me the e-mail about Chinese New Year. And too bad I missed out on kor kor Chee Yee's singing... :P
