22nd Feb 2010 Today, I had to make a trip to the campus as I have made an appointment at 2pm with the student advisor for the modules I am to enroll. Also, I need to ask if I can be awarded with credit standings. Hopefully, I can get it so that my term here will be shortened. Breakfast is bread as usual. My co-tenant will be making dinner tonight. She says she will be making hamburgers. Not the western style but the Japanese style, meaning just pork patties with vegetable salad and miso soup. ~1pm entry Met with the student advisor and is back. She told me to fill up some forms for credit standing and told me to come find her in a few days later as she need to review the forms and with the syllabuses which I had previously submitted when I enrolled. Hope for good news. Still haven’t decided on any internet providers yet. Called my mum and asked her to help me google search for some providers and their plans available. Oh. My co-tenant just called me out for dinner. It’s 6.15pm and I didn’t realize it. Bon Appétit. – 6.17pm entry Just showered and packed my stuffs for the orientation host program tomorrow. The hamburger patties were okay. Like meat balls that my mum usually make sometimes. Questioned her about the miso soup she made as the Japanese make the soup not only with just the miso paste only (I just found out some time back while watching some food program in SG). She didn’t add bonito flakes but another fish known at katsuo (direct pronunciation). Apparently, you can add whatever you like into the miso on top of just the miso paste; but never the miso alone. Oops. She made a big pot of miso. Most likely I will be eating it tomorrow again; refer to the curry story. Saw the news on TV. The weather will be slightly cooler tomorrow; lowest at 15 degrees and highest at 25 degrees. Also, on another note, the Aussie dollar seemed to have rise. Made a calculation on budgeting and calculated that my funds in the bank can last me for another five months; be it rental or telephone bills. Now, it’s the internet that matters the most. What plan am I going to get?! Just a random thought for the day; how do others, like me, feel when they are studying abroad? ~11pm entry
