Mumbai lah deh!
Monday, October 20th, 2008Hey all readers!! (If any do indeed exist…)
I write to you all the way from MUWCI, Mumbai. Mahindra United World College, our kind hosts, have an excellent campus in which we reside for the duration of our stay =P
I tell you, it is SO NICE here, cuz of all the greenery and the scenery. It is literally (and I ain’t joking) a forest reserve with 178 acres of land bought from the surrounding villages. It is a self-sufficient urban dwelling in the midst of a rural setting, and the students are all very fun people.
Other than that, we’re still in the introductory phase of the programme, but we are quickly approaching the main part of our itinerary: actually going to the villages to see developmental economics in reality.
Apart from that, some miscellaneous information: I’m rooming with Weijin, Chai and Padia, and my regular camwhore partners are Saa and Kathy (GSK rawks!! haha) But there’s like no air con in thye campus so its quite hot during the day, but at night its like free air con outside. Then now I’m in the IT centre with Alyssa cuz we didn’t wanna follow the others to go to some Hokkien-speaking girl’s wada (house/dorm).
I also don’t wanna read the articles they gave out, but I might get like other ppl to summarize it for me, cuz they’re really long and really wordy. Other than that, I’ve been keeping a super long journal and ppl keep asking me why I do that. Truth is I don’t know, maybe it just gives me something to do.
Just to ramble on a bit further, and you can stop reading if you want cuz this is gonna go on for quite a long time, I really prefer to spend whatever time I can find alone away from the group, rather than messing about with friends and such… Although I can’t really explain why I feel that way =(
Maybe its just my emo side acting up =P HAHAHA
Anywayy, other than India stuff, exams just finished and I really don’t know how I got through them. Maybe its all those morning prayers and masses coming in handy, eh? hahaha =P But seriously, God played a big role in helping me get through the exams, as well as all my friends (like Weijin) who would just blurt out what they’ve studied or explain stuff to me right before the exam, then those things really come out and I’m saved.
Hahahaha. I’m seriously rambling now, but the next post probably won’t be for a very long time, since I’ve still got that craaazy huge pile of homework awaiting my attempts at demolishing it when I get back to Singapore, PLUS new assignments like two Bio IAs (projects), two Econs commentaries (project) cuz I didn’t do the first one yet, and other random homework.
Somebody just kill me now.
So I’ll go find a quiet corner or somewhere to hide away and either sketch (my drawing sux. seriously) or go back to my room and read my storybook (first of the Pellinor series, it’s not bad :=P)
Anywayy, I don’t really feel like stopping this ramble but I know people gotta go do other stuff, so thanks for reading all the way through (if you did, of course) and I’ll post something soon (hopefully)
SEE YALL WHEN I GET BACK TO SINGAPORE!!!!
