It's been almost 3 weeks since I got here. And everything has been absolutely great. Other than having a C+ for my first college essay, I'm all right.
Boohoo.. Let's not talk about my poor written essay. As I am talking now.. I have another essay due on Monday and the topic is 'What is Justice?". Anyone can help me in that?
It is certainly a new experience here! Malaysia is gonna celebrate it's 50th anniversary soon and I'm so bumped to not be able to attend it. People say that you'll grow to love your country more once you're out of it and seriously.. I can't agree more. Though the food in my current university is absolutely great.. but I do miss my Chao Kuew Tiao once is a while.
Did I tell you that the food here is awesome? Seriously!!! I have rice every single day! Haha.. I'm so gonna gain my freshman 15 weight! Help me people!!! =(
Thanks for guys if you still pop in occasionally. I know it's terrible when you come in and find that there are no updates. But I'll promise I wont stop ya. I'll try and make it once a week! Hehe..
On another note, one of the upperclassman that I knew recently brought me to a Japanese supermarket. And the first thing that came in my mind was to buy Milo!!!! Do you know that you can never ever find Milo anywhere? Target.. Wallmart.. it's like people here don't drink anything other than coffee and tea. It's terrible I tell you!
Nope.. it's not the one above! It's the price below!!!That's like RM25! Crazy!!!
Guess how much it is! >.< Yup!!! 7 USD!!! Crazy anot! And look how small it is! But I was glad I went there though. It is really a comfortable feeling when you're surrounded by Asian stuff even though its all from Japan! Better than nothing la!
Soup! I think..
Maggi Mee!!!I wish.. =(
You can't imagine how much I miss my Maggi Goreng!
THis is kinda fair price though. Back in Malaysia it is super expensive!
I bought one of each to snack on! Wahaha..

They have this in Malaysia toO! My mum's favorite chocolates!There was something weird about this place though. You actually have to be a member to buy stuff from this supermarket! You have to pay like 10USD a year to sign up for their membership. If not you just pay a dollar a day. Weird right?
Later only I found out that the reason they do this is because the stuff here is cheaper compared to outside. (What? My Milo is cheaP?) And they don't add tax after everything! (Yup! Everything here is tax!) Which after thinking about it a dollar is kinda fair!
But imagine having to pay to start buying stuff from a shop!!!
This is the only last packet I have! =(Dya think I can ask my family to ship it to me?
Why didn't anyone tell me this? I already brought like half a dozen of Darlie here! I didn't know I had to bring sanitary pads too!!! Argh.. Now I have to go out there and try some other brands! Argh!!! I hate this. You guys may think that it is all the same and all but IT IS NOT!!! >.<
Damn those marketing people! =(
You girls wanna introduce me to some new brand? Or maybe there's Whisper here too! Anybody?
Ok.. I have to start on my essay now!!! Stop procrastinating Princess Shin!!! Argh!!!
Till then.. Adios!

you're gonna spend a few years there so you shouldnt convert. i know it's tough, but the converting thing will pass. soon... u will be spending like any ordinary american.

Sure the cost of living is high there. But like what zewt said, u shouldn't convert and instead live like an ordinary American. Planning to do some part time job there? Or explore the places first?
