Began my day slightly later today at 9am(usual out of bed time is at 7am).Started the day by going to the pre-departure seminar by IDP at Orchard Hotel. Well apart from the dimly-lit crystal lights that hung from the ball-room ceiling and the linen-decorated chairs, the content of the seminar was really related to quieries that I had wanted to ask,thankfully not a standard lecture.Met a few student-to-bes who are also going to the same uni for their degree programs and exchanged contacts so if by any given opportunities,we would be able to bring a little homely reminders that we all belong to the small red dot. Well I can't help but feel excited for my new life abroad,the experience of living independently,managing your own time and making alot of important choices would pose a daunting challenge but I believe and hope that with the right mindset, it would benefit me and my character in the future.On the other hand, comes the fact of leaving my precious family and friends back here in S'pore,an issue of home-sickness that I've to learn to grapple for the first few weeks.Well,but what would skype and web-cam serve if I go on worrying about this.lolz.
