And summer came in its full glory when it was cool and even cold just a few days back. I guess somehow this links singapore and boston together.

I got a proper id card made today and they cant seem to get my name right. hello kianP Ong

Been rather tired to update and now i have so much more pictures i dont know what to show. Basically work has started officially and its been really quite intensive , all these brain storming is really frying my brain. So i guess ill just briefly say what happened .
- Mda gave us a 17 inch macbook pro each. Like wow. 3ghz intel duo pro . But its running with windows and trust me it is slow!
- Official start of project with team awesome
- running all around town having fun exploring
- enjoying the life here. haha.

sounds like nothing much but its alot of each actually. I’m just gonna show a few pics and if anyone is looking forward to nice pics im sorry u’ll just have to wait haha. not in the mood.

It might be kinda strange to some of you that we have to attend an improvisation workshop even though we are making games. Well actually it is very relevant, this approach is very much from a psychological perspective to help us in our whole design process, which is very good I must say. It was fun but i prob did some of the most embarrassing stuff i ever did. Like doing a random impromptu skit , just talking cock. I actually made people laugh. Gosh i’m proud of myself lol.

It was quite tiring though , guess jetlag is not fully gone yet.

Well so much for summer. It’s been a rather cold day , kinda strange but i absolutely loved it. One thing about the people here which I am very much impressed with is how they emphasise on a healthy lifestyle. Everyday, there would be so many people running around the charles river, day and night and even on such a cold day like it is right now. I am honestly very impressed and singaporeans should really try to be like them and not just hide in the gym whole day long. And i think alot of them is there to pose anyway. I’ve been trying to adjust to the climate here and its cool so far. Just that my lips are kinda dry and still a little jet lag but Im good.

After what seems to be a never ending and grueling 20 plus hours halfway round the world flight, it was finally over. Yes . Before I go on about Boston, let me just talk briefly about some of the cultural differences between us and america. One of the first things that I noticed about americans was the way things were done. For them it’s very normal to say things in your face and expect you to take the seemingly harsh words but really , it’s normal to them. Another thing i’ve come to notice is the independent go get it yourself spirit. people here are used to and expects you to get your own things done as well. Thats kinda nice though, i think.

Anyway Cambridge in boston( where im staying) is such a lovely town! It’s so not the typical american town and there are alot of great buildings from the british colonial eras. They are just awesome really. I was walking around town so much just to explore the place. There are loads more to explore though, maybe harvard square today. I was fortunate enough to get a window view and charles river is right in front of my dormitory so the view is absolutely great.

Everyones just nice here. This town is kinda geeky though, I dont see any cool looking people around. Everyone looks intellectual and educated. Which is good. Mit’s campus is really massive and it spreads throughout cambridge, kinda random. But we love it nonetheless. Right im really exhausted today so i’m not going to write too much.

Well.. These pictures are nowhere near perfect. Taken with my camera phone but i think it’s quite interesting nonetheless.

Yea like after a million years of low tech phones, I finally got myself a new mobile phone that plays mp3s lol. And the coolest thing about this phone is it’s panoramic feature which i just discovered. And I tot its ultra cool. Right so obviously the first one aint taken by me. Ah singh pav took it and he sucks lol.
