A few things I found out about myself during exchange (so far)...

A few things I found out about myself during exchange so far...

1) When I am sleeping less than 9 hours, I am not talkative. There are more awkward pauses. Sleeping more than 9 hours, I can chat up business students, and those people I find a bit boring normally.

2) I like my computer more when I sleep late.

3) Running late at night seems to make me sleep better.

4) There exists females who make extremely challenging running partners. They want to chit-chat while running at a 10km/h pace for 2++ hours at 0100. I guess with males, female companionship (or "motivation") makes every feat possible. (And I didn't know that before. It just came out of nowhere. She made me do at least 24km every night for 4 nights in a row and wants to do half-marathon back in HK.)

5) Singaporean food is an acquired taste. I hated durian at first, but after having durian ice-cream a few times, I was ready for the real thing. It's great when you don't try to smell it.

6) Laksa looked weird before I tried it. I find now that I like Chilly Laksa so much I have to have at least a bowl of Laksa noodles everyday. I leave no food left behind.

7) I caught myself self-talking in Singlish, but it does not show up at all when I actually speak. I wonder how that works.

more to come!
