my route to school

This is going to be an entry about how I get to school every other day. Here is my favourite place in school, the Hamilton Library. Not exactly Central 6 but good enough. The difference between this place and Central 6? I actually get work done here. I miss Central 6...



Right, this is my room. As you can see, I knew I was going to take photos and so I actually made my bed. Then I get out of bed and get ready. I'll take my darling lappie and throw her into my bag and then check the mirror to confirm how handsome I am and then leave my room. Btw, I have no idea how i'm going to bring all those books back...





After that, I go to my fridge and get food. Look, that's my room number, 306. 306 guys rock...






And then i look out my lanai and see right in front of me, Diamond Head. What a sight...










And then i walk down the stairs and out of Kalo...










Yup, Kalo Terrace, my home away from home. The Blue Box. The K-Lo. It's a crazy place and oh so fun...









Now I head from Kalo up some huge parking structure and this is the lovely garden on top of the structure. Hawaii is more a green city than Singapore. Trees around everywhere and that's good because it helps me not miss home so much. And it makes an already lovely place, lovelier...




These are the weird people by the traffic light. Everybody gets freaked out by these guys at night when they first go to the University. They just stand there and talk all day. When i first got here, some kid tried to play a prank and placed a cap on the guy's head. It was actually pretty cool and even reminded me of the time when some guy placed a packet drink on St John Baptist De La Salle's outstretched hand in the old SJI...



For a school in a beautiful place, the buildings really are quite ugly. I was looking at Delphia's blog and saw that U of Toronto was really cool and looked super classic and as she described it, somewhat like a real life Hogwarts. The buildings in Hawaii come from Architecture's Hell. And they're weird also because there as such huge differences between buildings. Some aren't actually that bad but most are pretty icky. But there is a reason for this. Nobody really cares cos you're not supposed to be in school for long. You're not supposed to stay at home much either. This is Hawaii brah (the Hawaiian version of bro), you should be outside in the sun, on the beach, in the mountains. That's why everything looks so simple if not ugly.



Ok, also, because of the ugliness of the buildings, there's a lot of artwork all around to make things not so ugly. Here are some...





















Oh, and here's the art building that is actually quite cool. They've got a gallery there and my apartment mate Dan works there. Apparently now they're trying to rebuild one of the zero bombers that attacked Pearl Harbour and then crash landed on Kauai. They're going to build it completely out of photographs. Way cool...
