Finally in San Diego...

Yeap... in fact it's 5 days after.

I'm for the 1st time starting to feel home sick...
Not literally "home" sick but more of "Singapore-sick".

Probably because I won't be able to get to see YOU, yes YOU for the next 6 mths?
Rumors are there's gonna be an extension and it seems very very likely =(

Arggh! Everytime I go for groceries, or listen to my mp3s, I think of the wonderful wonderful times I had with you guys that maybe I took for granted...

Haven't really started working, this 1 week used for settling down. So instead of me rumbling about how much I miss you guys, let's see what I've done the past 5 days or so!

25th
Landed in SD, went to make Miltary ID - this is a super super cool piece of card. There's discounts from alot of shops, no tax and have special access =D. Checked into the base's Bachelor's Quarters - very nice apartment. Internet, kitchenette, toilet, double bed, wardrobe and a mini living room. Pretty much of what I have now in my condo-like apartment. Bought some microwave dinners to last for the next few days.

26th
Went to bought furnitures for the condo, went to IKEA! Hehe, it's almost exactly the same as the Alexanda Road one! Only a little bigger, other than that the layout, prices, items is all the same! For a while it didn't felt like USA =P Even the restaurant serves the same food! Meatballs! Made a local bank account. Now I feel like I'm a US Citizen... Left with SSN and Driver's licence only...

27th
Moved into the condo i'm living now! WOOT! I love it! Finally I can decorate MY OWN ROOM and call it MY OWN HOME! No Restrictions! Yea. It's very very nice. But soon to find out it's a really huge pain... Countless times of going to supermarkets, Ikea and back and forth just because the car cannot put so much stuff coz we're all sharing cars. zzz

28th
Continuation of yesterday... Setup the internet and stuff, and finally settled down with the room thingy... Went to 99 Ranch, an asian supermarket! MILO!!! OLD TOWN WHITE COFFEE!!! All the things that I can buy from Singapore! Haha. It comes with a price - a hefty one =( USD$7+ for the coffee... USD$3+ for a small bottle of milo powder =( owww...

29th
Today??? Note that here is 15hrs behind SG.
Finally a time to rest... Basically woke up to view rental cars. Probably gonna rent car all the 6 mths, more logical and economical. That means I'm not gonna be able to drive the car of my dreams =( Nvm. Ate a philly cheesesteak which I've longed for after the Florida trip =D. Soccer downstairs like in SG! All the ang mohs were watching and cheering us on when we scored! LOL. Had a small BBQ session with all the mates on the rooftop. The view's super beautiful but I didn't took any pictures coz my house is part of the Navy base =( Well let me see if I can get permission for that in future =)

So that's about it. I hope everything back home is doing fine. I really really wanna hear from YOU! Yes YOU! Haha.
