We just aren’t vegetable fans.

In Malaysia, cars are pretty much the only medium of transport we use. MRTs and LRTs are a rare, almost non-existent occurrence whereas walking.. That just doesn’t happen.

In Singapore, cars aren’t very many and their more of transport is either the MRT..

Or your very own two feet.

Despite how taxing walking can be, it gives you opportunities to take pictures like these..

We have done our own laundry. We have had issues with the bunk bed ladders. We have rediscovered the usage of feet. (No, it’s not just to get you to the TV and the fridge)

And, we have been in.. the McNair Pool.

What was starting out to be a day of photography ended up with a majority of us soaking wet and having to wait our turn for a shower, while leaving wet butt prints on the wooden pool side.

 

Throughout the two weeks here, many of us have formed bonds over the cramped living quarters, homesickness, and hostel fruits.

Some bonds are uh.. stronger than others..

(Trust me. There’s a very good reason why my face isn’t visible.)

Generally, those of similar nationalities tend to flock together as their rooms are separated by countries. And naturally, roommates have a closer bond. (Think permanent sleepovers.)

I am fortunate enough to be in the only room of mixed nationalities, with a Burmese and a Laotian. Trust me, we’re on our way to turning our Burmese pal into a part Malaysian.

The lahs are getting to her. ;)

Anyways, our adventure in the McNair Pool began with intentions for a photoshoot, and thanks to our tendency to side-track..

This..

And this..

Turned into this..

Come next Tuesday, most of us ASEAN Scholars will be posted to different hostels, as we head for our separate schools. Some will remain in McNair, whereas others will either head to the East or to the West.

I have been posted to Commonwealth Secondary School and will be shifted to a temporary hostel.

I’m gonna miss McNair, even the ant-infested cempedak tree.

As of now, I’m still a 3R @ heart. :D

One fine day, as I was surfing the net, blog hopping from one blog to another, I saw a comment..

A comment posted by a certain tiffk.

Now, that caught my attention for two reasons.

Firstly, I have always found it interesting that somewhere, maybe millions of people are doing the same thing online as I am. And then, out of these millions, maybe a hundred, maybe a thousand of them are named Tiffany.

THEN, I noticed the k.

That’s when the sky fell and my world changed, for I blog under tiffanyk, and somewhere out there, there was a blogger named tiffk.

Well, after a comment placed on her blog, a friendship was formed and recently, she decided to start a competition.

Now, I didn’t join this merely because us Tiffanys have to stick together, but the prizes are pretty good as well.

Well, let me tell you more about tiffk’s blog. (ahh, it feels weird saying that, feels like I’m talking to myself).

Well, her blog name is Jynxed Panda, and I love commenting on her blog mainly due to the plethora of adorable emoticons! They have panda emoticons, yellow headed bald men emoticons, and even some strange brown thing I think looks like a cat.

 Yeah, what.. is that?

Her layout is all green and bamboo-y like, which really suits the whole Panda-ness of the whole thing.

And her name, wow. She has an amazing name. >.<

Ahhaaaa, okay okay.

Oh, yes. Remember the sewage tank/swimming pool I mentioned? We swam in it. :D

Pictures will come soon. :)

Tomorrow, my school will be announced. Said school will determine my staying in Singapore, or return to Malaysia. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
