4th May'05 Wednesday

Argh.... actually finished my entry but pressed sth wrong and everything's gone! my goodness! this is my 4th day at CedarPt and it's alright. The weather's not just cold. In fact, it's very cold here, esp in the mornings and afternoons. Just 2 days ago ,we met with a mini hail. It's so cool, imagine rain turning into ice when it touches your hair or clothes. There are 12 of us together rt now, from Singapore. 8 girls and 4 guys and we are living in the same apartment. That is, guys in one apartment and girls in another. I'm now in the employee recreation centre using one of the eight coms and one of the girls managed to sign up for internet connection in our room yesterd night. She's damn happy cos why? Can see her bf through the web cam! haha... she's a happy girl. We went Walmart and Meijers just yesterd and on the second day we arrived. Bought a lot of foodstuff. Made a sandwich this morning. There's egg, veg, ham, hotdog and my fav coffee. I think i'm gonna get fat at this rate we're treating ourselves. Home-cooked food is definitely better. Yesterd's dinner was a sumptuous microwaved lasagna. That's pretty good. We had this ultra big tub of ice cream for only USD$5+ which we shared. Topped with strawberries and bananas too. I don't even treat myself this well when i'm in Singapore. Woa! The only problem we have here is that distances between places are quite far away and we rely solely on taxis. I remembered the first time when we squeezed into a single cab, the whole lot of 12 of us. Amazing! But it was exhortion. Had to pay USD$5 per person and i thought that it was 5 per cab. So, we became smarter and bargained with the drivers. Subsequent rides counted up to 3 or 2 bucks each. Much better. I like the weather here. Though it's cold, you can feel that the air here is fresher. Some of the people are not that receptive towards asians but some are quite ok and they are rather friendly, i think it depends on the person as well. I haven't really started work yet but the hours will come in soon next week because the park will be officially opened this saturday. I think there's going to be a firework. Looking forward to it. Ok, i'll update you all again. Meanwhile, enjoy your hols and stay cool. Hasta luego.
