Hola!
Today marks my first official step towards a vibrant uni life for I have moved into hall!

Picture of me the dad took while waiting at KR lobby!

Missed the FWOC so I do not know anybody from my block (C BTW) or floormates , and I'm really more of a phantom than a resident there now since nobody knows me as well. Kinda bummed and feeling extremely nervy from the lack of friends and fear of being an outcast (horror!) , but I'm really psyched to be mingling and making new friends plus I'm apparently sociable /loud/noisy according to friends, so I guess I'll have an all new perspective about hall/my block/ my floor in a week or two. Hopefully by then I'll look upon this post and find my worry undue!

On a random note, I realized this is such a nice time. This, pre semester 1 of university phase. Everyone is in a socializing mood and putting on their best behaviours. Albeit a little tiring to constantly be on the alert to 'impress' people or on a lighter scale just not put people off / give them a bad first impression, it is really delightful so see everyone being so happy and helpful. Especially because I'm one of those really lost sheep with absolutely no clue what's going on and relying heavily on my social circle for news. It's such a nice feeling to see everyone helping each other out and talking to old friends or acquaintances because of uni stuff, be it people from your own batch or seniors or even random new to-be seniors because EVERYONE is just in a socialising phase. Since nobody knows if this person you're talking to would turn out to be your next friend or foe, everyone's just being nice and 'testing waters' but it's really nice! Hope this family and friend feeling lasts. I'm beginning to like NUS already!

PS. The overly attached dad's being very enthusiastic over my moving and making sure I have all I need. Which is strange since he was the one vehemently against my staying in hall (cos my dad's as I said, overly attached and dotes aloooooot on me so he always wants me home) I think it might be what they call 'calm before the storm' . I don't mean it in a bad sense, the folks have been pampering me with extra love the past few days but it makes me really sad to see them (dad especially) sad and telling me they'll miss me when I'm in hall. Like when dad asked for two goodnight kisses instead of just one before he proceeded to chasing me out of his room when I did my usual refuse-to-get-out-of-his-bed stance at bedtime. And when the mother told me she will miss me when I'm not home. I feel like I'm ready to move on to a brand new stage of life but my parents are not ready to let me go and they'll perhaps, never be ready cos I'm always their little girl. Well tonight their little girl doesn't seem that ready to hit the world on my own, just tonight .

Hokay, time to head to bed and enjoy the last of my aircon and comfort of my duvet! I'll be back sooooooon :)
