Update from Seoul

Just blogging for fun! This is my fourth night in South Korea. I'm now in the Pacific Hotel, Seoul...(fully utilizing the free internet facilities in the hotel) Everything was great so far....will be back in 3 days' time. Have to go to KL the very same day I touch down, because work starts the next day...gosh. Till then, ciao!!

US-Malaysia

After a series of tough finals, I was finally freed from the clutches of the horrendous Winter07. Did nothing much to celebrate my freedom, as I still had to move out from my dorm. It's rather stupid actually for me to opt Northwood over Cambridge for the next semester. Cambridge House is indeed far more superior in terms of almost everything...except the fact that I can't cook.

Moving to Northwood will also signify the demise of my dorm-food experience. I'm not as elated as some other Malaysians who despise dorm food with a passion. In fact, I think I'll miss being able to eat in dining halls. Well I do admit that the quality of the food is most of the times under par, but what beats the freedom of being able to eat as much as you want? (like unlimited refills for milk and juices) In where else can you just go in and eat without having to prepare the food and leave without having to clean the mess? For a person who values nutritional values more than anything else too, dorm food is definitely not that bad a choice. Hmmm...then is my decision to move to Northwood justifiable? We'll see...

I still managed to attend graduation in Big House before leaving "ace deuce". Bill Clinton was the invited speaker, a relatively famous one compared to the other speakers in the recent years. Charismatic as usual, he managed to get a standing ovation from the whole house before he even spoke. Hopefully next year we will have a speaker as well-known as him.

My flight back home required some airports hopping (Detroit-LA-Taipei-KL-Alor Setar). Life is perfect so far, if you minus out the fact that I still have to study for course M. Ahhh....Malaysia. Will comment more on my "tanah air" if I am too bored of studying...
