Package from Narita!
Received my package that I had to hastily send from Narita Airport (excess baggage) on 10 August - pleasantly surprised that it took 3 weeks (it was supposed to take one month). Have forgotten most of what I stuffed inside the cardboard box last minute, so will go unpack some of it.
Back to school, where the days are long (terrible timetable this semester) and the food ain't good.
Don't know if I should change the name of this blog or just leave it (which I'd probably do, judging by my laziness). On hindsight, I should have tried my best to blog as much as I could when I was away - it was just too difficult to pin down my thoughts and upload the photos so often.

Back home
Okay so this blog wasn't updated as frequently as I thought it would be (or as it should be), but I'm back home!
Arrived early Monday morning, took a nap before heading to school for the Placement Test and bumping into alvin/wanwei/junyan despite not having a phone (I need one sooon!).
Things do feel a *little* different - English signs everywhere, people *not* standing on the left side of the escalator, people blasting the cellphones and talking out loud in the trains... but I'm happy to be back - food, friends, family!
