Beginning this journey

I've been wanting to start a blog since I knew I would be away in Norway this semester, but never got down to it. So finally, here I am now! I set this up late last night, despite having to wake at 6am this morning... Nights really hold special moments for me ya. I always end up doing crazy things (though mostly with crazy people)... Haha!

This journey didn't begin when I arrived in Oslo on 1st Jan, maybe now I've just reached the body. My long introduction through the application process, passing my last exams in NTU, and especially through December -- the tour to Egypt which taught me many things, followed by the madness carolling, meeting friends, packing and recovering from stomach flu... I really have to thank God for bringing me thus far. And considering that deep inside my heart, I never fully believed that I would be right here studying in Oslo until the day exam results were out on 28 Dec -- and I flew on 31 Dec, how surreal it felt...

As my msn nick once displayed, I have mixed feelings about the thought of leaving, especially in my final semester of school. Still do... Samuel summed up exactly the way I feel in his blog! Haha... so san mao, let me quote what you said k... "and inside, within my heart, it (too) is in a state of division. on half looking forward to learning new things and seeing new sights. the other, wishing that i won't miss out on all that will be happening right here, while i am over there."

Yeah... so basically, I'm missing everyone!!! But its really quite an experience here though, everything's quite different from what I'm used to. Plus I think my parents will be very happy with my new lifestyle! I'm sleeping earlier and waking MUCH earlier (without pple having to wake me) and no worries about me skipping meals -- the cold is making me so hungry that I keep eating... And guess what? I cook! It's not just instant noodles k... And so far, the food's pretty decent. Haha... We'll see again when I try something with high difficulty level like curry...

That's all for now. I wonder how some of you manage those short, sweet and funny entries. Enjoy reading all your blogs and its a great way to keep in touch, so keep it going k! Haha... Ok, I think I always somehow end up being too long-winded. Anyway, enjoy the photos on the main page!
