First days
I was wrong, it turns out to be one big size angmo. Those with the size that YOU can easily imagine that HE can easily eat a humongous pig a whole. The first few things this big size ang mo told me was how cute the air stewardess is and everytime she walked past he would just gave off some sound effect like,'oh man' or ,'wooh!'. Anyway I managed to change the seat with other passager and got to sit beside Alex instead. And spent the 16 hrs of journey watching movies, eat
and more movies..

Los Angeles airport was rather disappointing in sight.All along I have imagine that place to be very grand. Always watched in Alias how they went to LA for some missions and got 1 scene in the airport stealing the artifact. WE manage to walked around the streets of LA during our transistion and both of us agreed that the place give us the feeling of somewhere "truely asia"
I spent most of my time there figuring whats wrong with my camera and eventually realised that i had to format all the photos from the day before... sian.. haha.. oh well no choice.

The flight to canada was uneventful, cos we tried to sleep to adjust to their timing. I happened to be sitting in between an angmo Guy and a chinese girl. The guy showed extreme endurance for not going to the toilet even once during the journey for 5 hrs. Whereas the girl kept on giving me the sian look for i went to toilet only twice.

And it is only upon reaching that i just realise that columbia lake village is super far from everything! I literally have to crawl from one end of the school to the other with my super sized luggage. To think alex got 2 luggage with him...

Mang was the first to welcome me to the room! he was much nicer in person than in photos! haha. Tae soon was next! They hence became my first Canadian and Korean friends respectively!
Mang was nice enough to bring me around the school to settle my bank and course. Unfortunately both were unsuccessful due to complications. Tae Soon who reached here just 3 days ago seemed to know the place like he has been here for 3 weeks, he bought me out via bus to mall outside to settle my bank and got a sim card and shopping!

University of waterloo is really a very quiet. ITs like a small town with less than 10 buses travelling around. The great thing is that with the student card, i can take the bus for free!

Its a strange feeling to be surrounded by angmos. All along back in singapore we normally meet one once in a blue moon hence will have some kind of uneasiness as they are afterall rare species hence strange. And it is really quite hard for me to read their facial expression due to the lack of interaction, i just couldnt tell if they are really helping or up to something. Moreover, they looked the same all of the time!
Nonetheless, upon reaching it feels they they are afterall people. There are some who are really nice, whereas some who are lazy and lack of professionalism. I am unfortunate to meet up with the latter when trying to set up my phone account. If this happens in singapore i will surely give some super cynical scarasm, but afterall this is my first day here, have to control...
