My Home for 10 months!!

SO yeah for those of you i did not get to update, I'm currently away from the little sunny quirky island of Singapore for 10 months, and i hope my absence is fondly missed haha.

I'm currently reading Political Science for a year at the University of North Carolina(UNC), US, under a new UNC-NUS Joint Degree Program that allows students to do up to 2 semesters at either university.

Nope it's not like an exchange program where i can just play like no tml and go for a pass/fail. Yeah my grades are all counted for and my books cost many bombs. Indeed i am ashamed that the 7% sales tax i'm paying for everything here might go into producing bombs to blow up little kids in areas like Afghanistan, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Pakistan and of course our dear Iraq. But nvm, that's another story for another time.

For now let me introduce you to my home for 10 months, Cobb Residence Hall of North Campus in UNC. It is a really nice newly-renovated dorm that keeps the architecture and the old flavour (UNC is one of the oldest State universities in the US). I've been told by so many locals that i lucked out to have got into Cobb, and indeed it feels like it, Hallelujah!

My room-mate is really cool and into music, guitar, singing, has a really awesome beard, mountain dude, and is real nice to me. He actually stayed in the exact same room in his freshman year last year, so this room and hall must really be very good!

That's my cosy little room above. At least that's most of my side of the room haha.

That's our quiet little corner above, where he sometime plays guitar and sings of his angst at US foreign policy. And that's where i will do most of my readings on US foreign policy and aspire to learn the lessons. Hopefully i can start to have my Quiet Time there too, just looking out the window, as i always wished i could do.

That's his side of the room. A musician he is yeah. Bob Dylan poster checked.

And that'll be my workstation haha!! Yes even toughie-looking John actually has emotions and needs photos and even a cute banana-munching monkey to kick homesickness haha!

Ok part 1 of my initial update is about done now. I'm just gonna do this in small little bite sizes due to size restraints and just to maintain your 5-minute attention! For those who have worried about me, duntcha worry cos i've settled in quite nicely and the people here are really qte warm and awesome. Whats more i have a really awesome and living God that thrives within me, somebody strong to really back me up for everything.

Do your best, God will do the rest! This has been really a great encouragement in me these few days. No more believing in luck, fortune, fate, destiny, only God!!
