Just shut my luggage.
Wondering if the mess in my room will be untouched for the rest of this year.
Heading to KL tomorrow morning for a mother-daughter thing (?!) before proceeding to Shanghai for what we all hope to be my last semester in that university. As to what happens after, your guess is as good [...]

I’ve (very) recently bought my very first DSLR, a Nikon D80. Then bought a what-I-think-is-good-and-can-afford portrait lens Nikkor 50mm F/1.8D which I also hope to use for food pics.

Myth #1: Foreign students cannot apply for exchange.

Till I get back to Singapore, probably. Will be going on a school trip to Nanning and Beihai from tomorrow, and then to Seoul and Jeju after, and then to Singapore, with a few hours in between to pack for each subsequent journey.
Been running around this city the past couple of days doing some last [...]
