NZ Immigration to get my visa done this morning.

It was a really small place in Tower A of Ngee Ann City, queue not long at all. I heard it was gonna be but I guess not. 

Anyway, I need to provide 'evidence of funds'. Didn't know, so I gotta head back there again tomorrow. Admin stuff, Le'Sigh. Well at least the place is in town, so I guess it isn't so bad.

Flight tomorrow's at 8pm so I guess I've time to do a number of things. Better not procrastinate. Procrastination- Something I can actually score an A without even trying tahaha. They should have an exam on that. "Should I answer question 1? 85 marks. That's like 85% of the paper. Nah, let's leave it for later."

We'd all be geniuses.

Then, back to school for a project presentation.

Am glad it's done and over with. I'm never gonna touch it EVER again. Ever! D;

I believe this will be the last time I'll be in school. See you wkwsci in 2013. August.

After school, it was back to the east at Simei for my dental appointment. Teeth are fine. Can now wear my retainers at night only. Won't have to look like a goondu with my metal retainers in the day all the time anymore hahaha. I am so disciplined.

Speaking of which,

My dearest friend, has just removed her braces today!!!!

When we were young 

Ok, this was just like 7 months ago, but hey, within that short span of time, we've changed already.

myohmy, it's puberty all over again hahaha.

Betcha look chio as hell right now. 

***BOYZ BOYZ Attention. Most eligible bachelorette here. What are you guys waiting for.

Anyway, thanks for the lovely conversation we had on Sunday that lasted for AT LEAST 4 hours. Not at most but least. It's like that all the time. I don't understand how we never run out of anything to talk about. Is it coz we don't meet one another very often? I dunno.

But let's keep it that way!

Right now, I'm seeking refuge from the torrential storm. It's raining so heavily, I have to wait for it to subside. White sands' macdonalds makes for good shelter.

Can't wait to get back home. So I can have dinner and start packing my luggage for Laos. Goodness, there's so much things to pack!!!!! I'm quite excited right now. Am anticipating to see what's there in Laos. But I shan't predict or expect anything. I only hope it'll be a good trip. 

Just bought tons of giant pocky and lollipops for the kids there. My teaching partner and I wanna bribe them to make sure they like us the most. HAHAHAHA. Hush hush. But of course, the sweets are for them to enjoy.

And I honestly hope they won't be overly hospitable? I don't want them to be giving us everything they have. I don't want to be comfortable there. Pls, pls, Laotians, let us suffer. 

A Laotian girl from NTU gave us a crash course Laotian Language lesson yesterday and I realise it has many words that are similar to the Thai language. Exact, even. Like words for their numbers, and 'toilet' are exactly the same! It's like ASEAN spirit all over.

I'll make sure I explore the entire SEA region before I die.

And hey, speaking of dying, the Mayan prediction is that the world ends on the 21st of December?

Wow, that would mean. I'm gonna die without my loved ones by my side. IF it happens. Well, I'm not usually into this kinda bullshiat. But knowing that I'm away from home makes me feel a little insecure haha.

SPEAKING of insecure.

I just got an email from GEM X, and some seniors are hosting a tea reception for people like us to talk to them and get to know more about Exchange.

They specifically mentioned, and I quote,

"During this tea reception, we will be giving a brief introduction of the countries you are going to. Following which, we will be splitting all of you are into different groups based on countries/exchange schools so that you guys will know each other better. Trust me, this is REALLY important as all of you will need the help of one another in the coming 5 months despite how independent you think you are."

I didn't even bold or highlight in red that "really".

I did underline the last line however.

Maybe it's time to contact "Alex".

Then again.

I shouldn't bother.

Ahh well, anyway I can't attend the tea reception. SO ah what the hell.

Then you'll see me crying while I'm there at NZ haha. Oh god.

But I really wanna take a chance. It's not every time you'd get to go overseas alone. And perhaps it is almost like throwing a fish into a pool of sharks coz I've never really been independent INDEPENDENT. And maybe, just maybe, I'm taking it a tad too far and fast. 

Shan't overthink.

It's Laos time. And I really do hope it'll be as memorable as my Thailand OCIP trip in May. Or maybe even more memorable than that. I've a feeling this trip will be quite well carried out, coz I can really see how detailed and well-planned the proposals are. They're pretty good. But I really don't wanna expect anything!

Shall try to blog a few more posts before leaving tomorrow at 8.

See ya suckaaaas
