I am writing this weeks blog post outside, which is such a welcomed pleasure. The extreme lack of rain in the last few months means that the outdoors aren’t the usual horrible level of humidity and a breeze can be very cooling.

This week was my first week of university. I of course was extremely nervous on my first day, but by the end of it I was laughing alongside my treasured new friends. I have only been to school in Australia, so attending school outside of what I was used to proved very interesting. I was fascinated by the fact that the majority of my class mates came from different parts of the world, such as Vietnam and China. It was so interesting just to talk to them about where they were from and compare cultures.

These last two weeks I have been doing one of my favourite things on earth; re reading books. When I don’t have time to go to a book store or I have to wait for my order to come, I search through my collection for book to help pass the time. People are usually dumfounded by the idea that someone would ever want to read a book twice, but I suppose it’s exactly like watching a movie over. One of the benefits is that you usually pick up on things that you didn’t notice the first time you read it. The books I read were ‘The Time Travellers Wife’ by Audrey Niffenegger; which is my favourite book of all time, and ‘One Day’, by David Nicholls. I think these novels are the perfect choice if you’re searching for an enchanting, unique and addicting book.  They both also have brilliant endings which is something I love about them both.

After class one afternoon I headed to my favourite book store here in Singapore; Kinokuniya. The one I most commonly go to is at Orchard. It really is a book lover’s heaven. It is filled abundant range of books from all genres. I find it extremely convenient because you can find many of the western novelists’ new releases which aren’t as common in smaller book stores here. I picked up another one of Gillian Flynn’s books called ‘Sharp Objects’. 

I also headed into the harbor this week, which is right beside the famous Marina Bay Sands and the art museum. There was a jazz festival on, so it created such a calming and enjoyable atmosphere as we strolled along the river.
