i'm closing in on my first week at school and here's the round-up, starting with the most recent...

the lecturer of the business, society and government class held a little get-together for the classes he taught tonight on one of the schools' rooftops. =)

check out the beautiful view...


and the little enclaves upstairs are oh-so-dear...kinda feels a little like being on the rooftop of the mount emily hostel.


it was like any other classy evening on the veranda, with local finger food (the curry puffs were yummy!) and the staple pizza.


and the classmates, who found a talking point in me being married.

of course, i gushed loads too. =P

here's see yun, lynn and ricky.


i left the party early, after we scuttered indoors as it started pouring.

snuffy hubby swung by to grab me from the library building in such a downpour...and we headed over to serangoon to attend a friend's wake. =(


i remember feeling really weird reading that sms from one of the scout guys this morning, telling us that zhihao passed away early this morning.

he had lost his battle with colon cancer. at 28.

sigh.

it's sad to hear of such things, but one's gotta look up, ahead and try not to get too existentialist and miss out on smelling the roses.

after all, we never quite know when our time'll run out.

so we move on and try to smell the roses around you...and for me, that means learning to be a student again.

here's the freshman group i was to have been attached to during camp.

(i couldn't go, but joined them at convocation anyways...)


snuffy hubby was sweet enough to be with me on my first occasion as a new student, hold my hand, and reassure me that i'd do good.


and last, but not least, i caught a glimpse of this on a wall while waiting for one of my lectures to start...


linux has something this cute...mac has the apple with all its coolness effects...


it's about bloody time microsoft jazzed up its image! =P

school's a brand new experience, for a brand new mrs teo. =)
