Weekends for me are usually more interesting than the weekdays. We went for a movie in the Student Union theater on Friday night, they were showing The Virgin Suicides, sad story through…and after that, we went to queue for a free teddy bear! The name is Patrick, he will be staying with me throughout the rest of the semester and accompany me to sleep every night. Zoe actually perform baptism on him It’s really funny, the content of it was roughly like this..
(Looking at Patrick)
“I am Zoe and I am given the power to baptize you, your name shall be Patrick and you will give your owner as much as what she will give you.”
It’s so funny and when I told MR about it, he gave another crappy answer-“ He (Patrick) will be converted to a Buddhist when he come back to Singapore.” Tsk tsk..poor Patrick.
Saturday night was much more busier. Maika and I went off campus to get some clothing and groceries. The shopping departmental store, TJ.Max just rocks. I have never seen international brands that are THAT cheap in my entire life till then. I guess it’s kindda like a factory outlet type of place, maybe these brands had overproduction, that’s why.. I bought Ralph Lauren shirts at less than 40 USD roughly…Oh mine, I don’t think I can even get a Ralph Lauren shirt for 40 USD in Singapore.
Maikai and I on the bus to TJ.MAx
This is 19.90!
During the night, we had a mini mooncake festival on the 7th floor, thanks to Jien and Julia! Have been spending my mid autumn festival in Singapore for the rest of my life so far, kindda miss home, especially when I called home and my mum was telling me they were all eating mooncakes then. Arr…I want my snowskin!
Later than night, Richard from Lebanon was so kind to offer us a Shisha Tobacco smoking. The shisha looked quite cool, haha cultural night for all of us.
Sunday afternoon was a trip to the greenhouse in UCONN, the varieties of plants they housed in UCONN surprised me…I saw the chili plant! If not for the fact that the chilis are still unripe, I may seriously rip off some!
So u still managed to bite some mooncake! I think that tobacco smoking is 水烟, think there is one such pub at Arab St. Your Lebanonese friend got a shiok face and your galfriend kind of lost XD.
That teddy bear is so cute. Is this kind of pick-your-teddy common in USA? I saw one such teddy shop before in USA, with a group of young school kids visiting the shop and being educated on how the teddy is made, looks fun.
Patrick looks like a monkey! are you sure he’s a bear?
I am sorry guys, patrick is a monkey!
HAHAHAHAHa!!!! WHAT A JOKE! Poor Patrick! Identity crisis!

Anyway, that Shui Yan is really bad for health! I heard its alot more harmful than the real yan! hahaha!

Looking at your photos, it seems like you’re having the time of your life! haha.

I love polo! It is really cheap in the US but here in Singapore, it is just expensive. Guess it is because of the rentals here in Singapore. sigh, anyone going to the US? I wanna buy some POLO NOW!
