somehow woke up so early this morning i am somewhat bewildered as well... woke up at an unprecendented 745 am and decided that i should be healthy and take a morning jog around the neighborhood... which i did. it was pretty cold in the morning and this being the first time running in the cold, or rather, jogging at all, i was actually a little paranoid while jogging.. that i'll get pneumonia from inhaling all the cold air... well but good thing nothing happened =) jogging's pretty refreshing and invigorating so i should do that more often.. and especially when i have such a nice neighborhood it would really be a waste if i dun explore around a lil bit =)

went to campus today to declare my econ major... though i screwed up my stats 20 i hope i can declare successfully... somehow being on campus again made me feel a strange sense of belonging and satisfaction.. the familiar buildings and surroundings seemed to make me feel really contented that i chose berkeley. somehow though i have been to quite a few schs i think i still prefer berkeley. though it may not be the prettiest sch around, nor the biggest, nor the one with the best reputation, i think my experiences and the memories from the past 2 semesters have been able to make me feel pretty attached to the place already... like it's somewhat a part of me, a part of my life that i would feel somewhat incomplete without. which reminds me of the little prince. like how he talks about there being so many roses in the world but there is one rose that is his, that means something to him... cos he watered it and took care of it and shared common experiences with it. so sweet. just like friends... our friends may not be the most perfect people around but we love them all the same because of the fun, joy, woes we shared...

went to hilltop mall with jing and her sis today after berkeley.... cos ppl said the theatres there were good so i thought perhaps i could 'bring' them there to watch movies.. but somehow we ended up shopping the whole day and i bought more stuff!! =( aargh, i need to stay in for the next few days else i will seriously go broke. having navigated for the past one week, i am starting to enjoy and appreciate highways in the US; they are all so guided that u can get to almost anywhere u want, or not too 'off track' if u follow the signs... and somehow it isn't that bad to get lost either.. =P saw this really heavenly bedsheet and comforter set titled starstruck in JCPenney but then it was so expensive i couldn't have bought it... ever.. =P so i took a picture of it... =) somehow malls in the US are so different from those in SG... like there were barely any people in the shopping mall... well maybe cos it's a weekday.. so unlike sg where students always hang out and crowd around in shopping centres.. i guess it's also cos in the US u really need a car to get around and it isn't that easy for teenagers and kids to just take bus anywhere and everywhere...
