It still feels like a dream, a long long dream which will take 5 months to wake up from.. Can u believe it, I'm here! In kimchi-land! And seriously, we've been eating kimchi EVERY meal so far! A meal is not a meal without it! Ok enough about the preserved vegetable, lets have a little update of what have been happening so far, and why I took 2 days to come online!
The strangest thing thus far is that I've made friends with people from Brazil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, NTU.. And none from Korea! Haha strange huh.. Oh well, we've only been meeting the exchange students so far!
God has been teaching me a lot for these 2 days, especially when the internet wasn't working yesterday. I've no phone to use since mine doesn't have autoroam, and I can't get connected! Never ever felt so lonely before in my entire life! Really! Although Xinnie (my new friend!) did offer to let me use her computer, I didn't really want to since its her first night and she'll be using it too.. Sidenote, I guess I feel more comfotable with her cos she's Malaysian (the closest to a Singaporean! though she studies in HK), and she's really nice and funny! And it just felt so good when I spoke to the NTU guys earlier today, it felt so good to talk to Singaporeans! I guess one of the things I wish to have would be another Singaporean girl around, like someone to talk to at least!
Yesterday night wasn't really good, since it was the first night here and I couldn't get online.. Didn't know the people that well either.. And so I just spent the whole night praying and praying because there were really no one else to talk to! I just couldn't connect no matter what, and the girls came over to try to help set it up too.. Anyway, I think God really wants me to spend the first night just with Him, with no disctractions, and I really prayed hard. Never so hard in my entire life.. haha.. Anyway, I guess it was good too since I was really tired, and hence I slept early.. (Earlier than the rest who had the internet anyway!)
It got much better this morning! Since God's joy is new every morning :) Went for orientation today, made more new friends, and got to know the HK-ers better! I'm glad I've them, really thank God! Anyway.. I'll leave the pictures to speak the rest, cos I don't know how I can express everything!
And anyway! Thanks to those who came to send me off :) your cards, presents, and most importantly, prayers, really made a difference!
Oh and I found 2 friends to go church with! :) And I wore Hanbok today! Woohoo!
Yummy Food!
I wore Hanbok!
