The last few days have proved to be some of the most fun days I've had here so far! From frantic group discussion in the 20/30 minutes prep time for my derivatives class presentation, to sitting by the water at Clark Quay and talking about everything, to running up and down the green slopes of a reservoir, to watching (finally!!) UP, to finally experiencing the local phenomenon that is milo dinosaur. I can feel the blood pumping through my body, and my brain cells stirring somewhere up there. It feels just wonderful!!
Before I sign off though, I must tell you about the extra inmate of my cluster (group of single rooms sharing common bathing and kitchen facilities). I wasn't living long in the residences before I discovered him. He was the culprit behind the dustbin's contents found strewn all over the kitchen, the mischief-maker of tiny brown dots on the table and floor, the thief behind cereal stolen from a bowl left unattended on the kitchen table for just a few moments....what marks him out is his hairdo...feathers always awry, and somehow contrived into a messy mohican on the top of his head! I affectionately named him "Scruffy" on the spot, and even though he flies away every time I enter the kitchen and watches me from the opposite building, I have developed quite an attachment to him.

Picture 1 = Scruffy in a post modernist picture after he flew away just as I clicked down the shutter.
