End of Orientation

- Washington University in Saint Louis, 2009 -

Classes officially start tomorrow but mine start on Thursday. In any case, today was a lovely way to end off the orientation - the library is awesome! Glad I turned up for most of the orientation events and met all these wonderful people :)

Finally bought some dates to break fast with, thanks to Sarah, who is a sweetheart! :)

Love this place!

Ramadhan Kareem to all :) And happy 400th anniversary of Galileo's telescope, as according to Google.

Another Day

- Saint Louis, MO, 2009 -

A little update while I wait for maghrib. Cooked ayam kicap tomato (chicken cooked in tomato and soya sauce) and stir-fry vegetables today, maybe I'll upload the photos another time.

On another note, I was wondering if I should start a new blog to chronicle my PhD blues/adventure, especially since it's the beginning of a new milestone in my life... oh well, who knows if I'll even have time to upkeep a blog once school starts!

Orientation starts on Monday!

Have a great weekend everyone. :)

Overseas

- St. Louis, MO, 2009 -
From top left: on the plane; Crowne Plaza, Clayton; my bed; Sunrise from my bedroom window; Washington University; Yellow fire hydrant; the Arch by the Mississippi river; Museum of Westward Expansion (under the Arch); Busch Stadium; Guess the animal 1; Guess the animal 2; Hibiscus; flamingos; love the flora & fauna here.

Just a little update since I've just uploaded my photos using my aunt's cable. Not feeling that great since things that I was supposed to bring are either missing or did not get packed. Now I've got to get back to my thesis.


Oh yeah, Happy National Day to everyone.
