Life begins.



Spring spring spring spring oh spring. Why is it that the weather in spring is not as ideal as I thought it would be. But the flowers are definitely a sight to see. 


My ideal spring : Genting-ish weather, just cold enough not to sweat walking around the streets, but warm enough not to need a jacket. 


Spring in reality : 3 days of rain followed by cold chilly air, and another 3 days of hot sun making you sweat. And the cycle repeats. 


But the flowers definitely make my day.


My heater arrived today through the mail. So did my HSBC credit card. And my-oh-my. I have so many cards. What's with American system of having so many bank accounts as a "set". One to keep money, one to spend money, and one "for-in-case" money.


Okay. I am ranting in sentences which don't go with one another. 


I realise why so many of my friends stop blogging the moment they settled overseas. Heck even I find blogging a chore sometimes. I suddenly have so many extra things to do as compared to before. Laundry, ironing, tidying room, vacuum floor, buy groceries, unpack n pack groceries, washing dishes, cooking. If I do find extra time I rather read a book or play Happy Farm, or skype with family rather than blog. 




This is Sir William Penn. Founder of Pennsylvania, and also Philadelphia. And this is taken at UPenn. UPenn's campus is so much more campus-ey as compared to TJU. 


St Mary's Church


And of course, just because we're medical student, we want to have a look at America's no.1 Pediatric hospital and arguably the world's no.1 as well.

Oh wanna see the public buses? I now is can know how to take public buses.






Yay. 3 claps to myself. (syiok sendiri max).


Alright. One fine day, the 6 of us decided to take a stroll down the beautiful lane known as "Old City". Rarr. Old City is kinda like Edinburgh, but only 50% less old buildings and 50% less nice scenery. The brochure in the "Philadelphia Guide" sure makes it look so beautiful. But after walking so so so so so many blocks just to get there I was kinda more like "cheh, lidet only?"

But this area make an interesting Jogging + Cycling trail. But I'm not a jogging + cycling person. 


But this alone makes me happy.

I love river, waterfalls, sea, everything to do with water. Except rain when I am outside. 

Abrupt stop. I know, but this is all I have to write. Got a lot more other pics. But will post them another time. Tata!
