My apartment

Many people have commented on my kitchen already, so here's the rest of my apartment. :)

I live in a small studio apartment near campus, so small that when you open the door, basically you see all the way to the end, where the bed is. But one advantage of that is that it's easy to vacuum!

My street

That's my block! My apartment faces the main road.
Yeah, it's very noisy with the traffic, especially when the emergency vehicles screech by.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a corner unit, so I only have a small window strip, and the room is always dark. I guess one drawback of a studio is that the fridge is waaay too accessible!
Sink

Shower
At least I have a rather nice view. The window faces a stand of pine trees. No birdy-like organisms flitting about yet!

I'm growing chili on my windowsill!

For one person I guess it's just nice. When eric was here, things got a little cramped, ha! Yeah, rental is a little cheaper here, I'm paying US$475 a month for this place. It's even cheaper to share with roommates, but I need my own bathroom! Haha!

New York...New York...

Sorry about the long wait folks...I'm finally blogging about my arrival in the States. July 31, 6am: Stumbled out of the Thai Airways plane into JFK Airport. After 20+ hours in cramped and dark conditions, I'm finally in the US!! Decided to stopover in New York as I've never been here before and wanted to see all the famous sights. So here they are- Manhattan Took a shuttle from the airport down to Manhattan. At first we thought it would be the quickest way, but we went all over Manhattan dropping people off at various hotels and hostels, so it was almost 10am by the time we checked in at Harlem YMCA. Not too bad, except that there was no a/c and NY was experiencing a heatwave!! It was sweltering in the small room. Washed up a little and proceeded to our first destination... The Empire State Building! Well, that's the view from the top. For some reason I don't seem to have a photo of the building itself. Think I was jetlagged and starting to get mild heatstroke....Y...

Does this mean something?

Something struck me while I was preparing tomorrow's lesson plans for Genetics lab and thinking up wicked questions for next week's quiz for my students.. (well, not really, I'm actually a softie at heart who wants her students to do well, hahaha...). For someone who always professed to having a mild phobia to teaching, I've been doing a lot of teaching in the last 6-7 years or so! It started with being a nature guide talking to all those strangers about wildlife and conservation, to conducting sessions on how to be a nature guide, and all those courses on Reef Check and whatnot, plus instructing for educational companies like Creative Kids, where I had to teach primary and secondary students, all the way to trainee teachers and full-time teachers! Recently have also been teaching at NUS and here in Wilmington! I had a 'what are you planning to do with your life after you graduate' talk with my current supervisor recently, and mentioned that I don't really s...
