The Roooom~
Finally after 3 days in Seattle, I've gotten my room and managed to call some place home. Small but cosy, cramp but sufficient. Not bad right, haha...Jon and I purposedly tidied the bed before we took the shot, and I think most of the time it would not be in the state that you see it in. Our room faces West, so we get a nice sunset view from our window, albeit an early one, and to the left of our window is a view of the number 5 Freeway. In our room, we have a fridge and microwave, so hot food and cold drinks are just a step away when we need it. But because of the small floor area of the room, there is a lacking of shelvings and cabinets so right now, we just have to make do with what we have. Today we cooked our virgin meal, a chinese "Zar Chai Peng" dinner that consisted of black pepper chicken, oyster sauce kailan and omelette with mushrooms. Tomorrow, its settling school stuff and probably going to the IMA, the Intra Mural Activity Centre to exercise and stuff. Nothing much to do over the week before school starts, but we might be planning a weekend Ski trip to the Snowquelmie Summit which we hope will eventually happen from the 4th to 6th of January. The inefficiencies of the Americans especially during their Holiday Season has led to many inconveniences in planning, something we Singporeans might not be very used to. Professor Aaron, the director of the International Office in UW who gave us a welcome speech at the orientation told us, we would experience "Culture Shock". Perhaps this first experience working with the Americans will be the introduction of the many "culture shocks" to come in the future.

Happy 2008!!
Do YOU have a new year resolution?
