Today Katie, Sunny and I went to the ICA, or Immigration & Checkpoint Authority Office to get our Student Passes (the other girls will be going later this month). Unfortunately, that meant I didn't get to go to school, and instead had to sit in a DMV-esc room for two hours waiting for my pass to print. It took from about 9-11:30, but eventually we were out of there and on our way to lunch.
I'm official! (and looking greatttt right now, haha)
Sunny took us to a delicious chicken-rice place in the city. Chicken-rice is a special kind of rice in South-East Asia (specifically, Singapore!) that is cooked in chicken stock and different spices in order to create a delicious flavor! It is served with roasted or steamed chicken and cucumber, and was one of the best meals we've had yet. I couldn't snap a picture, but I'll definitely be going back, so I'll get one soon!
After lunch, Sunny drove us through the city, we stopped at one market in Tiong Bahru to get a steamed bun and dessert... (we like to eat here!) It was delicious, filling, and fun - and finally we made it back to the hostel.
Today was the first time that I've done laundry and I am a happy camper! Every piece of clothing you wear here is smelly after one use because of the excessive sweating that goes on in 100% humidity - so it feels so nice to have all clean clothes and clean sheets! There is laundry on-site at the hostel, which is really convenient, so I just have to take the 'lift' down to the 2nd floor (from the 15th) to switch it every hour! I did two loads this afternoon, just finished, and am about to start folding!
Katie, Rae, and I are going to go get dinner (and wine;)) at the mall, then early to bed for another day of school tomorrow! I'm really excited to go back! I've been doing so much writing and reflecting after the first day, I can't imagine what I'll have after 16 more! (only 16 more, ahh! this is already going by so fast!)
Signing off for now, tomorrow I'll try and post before the internet goes off. Long story short, they cut our LAN line (that's right, not wifi) off at 10pm, (curfew for the high school students) - which makes Skype-ing, iMessage-ing, and Facebook-ing all really nice and easy for my lovers back home in a different time zone. My attainable internet hours are when they're all fast asleep... (Am I right Mike, Chlo, Cor?!)
And no one caught me, but I forgot to do Cat of the Day yesterday! So today's cat of the day, is my favorite cat so far that I've been saving for a special occasion - she gets to make up for yesterday and today!

Cat of the Day!
Today's Cat of the Day goes to my favorite cat so far, the one that greeted me (and smelt Nala on my suitcase) my first night here, and every day since lets me pet her and say hello!
