there are eight other singaporeans staying at my hall..some of us walk to school together..and i've visited them in their rooms..it makes me feel safe to have ppl from the same backgrounds..but at the same time i would like to know people from other countries..my neighbour was from ghana but she stayed in new york since she was 16..she's a postgraduate..actually most of my neighbours are postgrad as most of the undergrad are at the other wing of the hostel..but i believe there are plenty of opportunities for me to get to know them more..like for the music society..i met a hall mate from vienna austria.vienna it's like the city of music..i talked to her along the way back to hall and found out alot about the country which i would nv have known from my textbooks..everyone in vienna plays at least one instrument:)...i've also talked to people from taiwan hongkong france thailand of cos england..hehe..i guess that's the thing about studying overseas..there are plenty of chances to meet people from all over the world esp at lse where 70% of the student population are international students...i'm really looking forward to meeting more:) I really miss all of u back home...and all the thing about singapore..we are really pampered in spore..my girlfriends in spore are the ones whom no one can replace even as i meet new people..i know it will nv be the same..u girls are whom i can always cling on and i feel comfortable with..love u and miss u all lots! hugs...must keep in contact:) i will upload the photos soon
