As for me, i got a book full of puzzles from kat. faint. lol. i think apparently, the present i gave is the most useless 1. bwhahaha. too bad! lol.
My last 3 days in houston.. gonna leave these nice pple... quite sad.. will miss my free food, big apartment, my pontiac G6 + chevy Malibu, free gas, holdin drinkin parties in my apartment, shopping, hanging out with other next gens & the cheap beer during happy hours.. sobz..
Just came back from movies with my program mgr + 4 other international next gens. Apparently, we are the 1st international Next Gens tat set foot in US.. woooo...we made history.. It's really amazing how different pple from differing cultures from different parts of the world come together, live together & hang out tgt...Lebanon, Singapore, Norway, Canada, Portugal + USA... how we go on roadtrips tgt, go New york & cancun, go shopping, movies, party.... It's juz gonna come to an end in the nxt 3 days.. all going different parts of the world.. Will we meet again? will our paths cross each other? I hope we will. Promised to visit each other wen possible. It's easier for them, cos norway, portugal, US & lebanon not too far away.. but SG is in another part of world.. gotta save up alot to visit them. But at least i know IF i ever go to these countries, i have pple to show me ard.. I will miss u guys~..
on a brighter note, been shopping quite alot lately.. have not been checking my credit card bill.. shall not look at it.. i noe it'll be crazi.. but heck.. not like i'll be coming back to US anitime soon.. Bought a Fossil watch! Love it!
It's automatic! meaning doesnt run on battery. Depends on movement mechanism to run the watch. so wen u wear it, ur movements will run the watch. Wats special is that tis has a backup battery, so that wen u're not wearing, it still runs. & apparently, if u wear it, the movements will charge the battery.. wooo.... supposedly though...u nv noe if it works.. lol.
Shall do more shopping... mayb i shld throw away my old jeans & buy levis.. hmm..
Next thing to look forward to.. Los Angeles... & of cos, Home. =)
