I know it sounds stupid and ridiculous to tell people that I have this little dream since 14. I wanted to wear braces because most of my friends were wearing them at that time. I know, so ridiculous of me. I quote my DA/DH lecturer, “Why do you want to wear braces? You are already so pretty! Whhhhyyy??!“.

The separators. Btw, please don’t comment on my fillings (cavities). Those are more than ten years ago!

Lol. But, since I got the green light from Mummy when I was back home, I decided to go for it. And yes, I am going to have gigi besi soon. Very soon since I am already wearing separators between my teeth. I’m excited. Roommate says she has never seen someone who is so happy to wear braces. I guess I am just so ridiculous. Or, shall I say, special? Lol!

Yin-du is so far, so good for me. I guess my lack of updates here can explain how busy I am recently. Forgive me for I know how annoying it could be when you don’t get to see new posts every time you click to this domain for so many times. At least I get annoyed because of that when it happens to me.

With friends from Manipal, in front of my hostel

Classes have started and it’s quite interesting to just start everything from beginning in a whole new place. I think that’s what I need after one and half years of torture in college. Please don’t take me wrongly. That one and half years in college was one of my best times in life but, studying there is a torture. However, I thank God for guiding me to make it this far. Food here is awesome. But, unfortunately, not all food here is that awesome. Mess food (mess = cafeteria) is unappetising because they are the same everyday. Just in case you are wondering what they serve, it’s curry. Vegetable curry, dhal curry, potato curry and everything curry. I summarise the food here as the food with the same shade of colour.

One of the awesome food I’ve tried, Sizzler Ranch

American Chopsuey, Cherry Square

However, thank God for the awesome food. I eat out with my friends sometimes when we are free. We’d been to a few places to try the food including a hotel which is not expensive at all. However, nothing beats home-cooked meals. I miss the food I eat back home but, still I am strong and food will definitely not make me feel homesick.

Chinese food! Me love… (This pic is to prove to you all that even I’m in India, it doesn’t mean that my skin will get dark OK? It’s the genes that control how fair we are. Lol)

But, there is still one thing that makes me feel like going home now…

Shoo shoo! And HeiQ too!

It definitely feels like home again. I attended my first Sunday church service in India today and it was really good. I really need to thank Rhema, a senior intern, for bringing me to church and Alex, for feeding me the informations. Church is quite far from my hostel but, it was worth the time and distance today. Although I had to travel alone to the hospital to meet Rhema and back to my place, it’s not much of trouble to me. But, my mum wasn’t please to hear that I had nobody with me at that time.

I’ll try to avoid traveling alone next time. 

Church service was wonderful because I feel as if I am home again, despite being surrounded by all Yin-du people. The pastor has not accent that I could understand very well what he was saying. The sharing by a church member was simple yet, strong that it really touched my heart. The songs we sang were all the songs I love singing.

It just feels great to be in God’s presence.

This Sunday is the best day I have ever had in Mangalore since the first day I arrived. Praise the Lord!

P/s: Sorry, no pictures at the moment to reflect my feelings today, because it’s indescribable!

Finally, people, I am in India. Yin-du, if you like it pronounced in Chinese. Lol.

At Bangalore International Airport, weather was cooling like in Genting Highlands!

Thank you all for your prayers and wishes, I had arrived in India last week. So, today is actually my sixth day here. I didn’t get to go online because the Wifi which is provided by the hostel was not on till few days ago. However, I couldn’t access the internet because I need an access card with the password which I heard we wouldn’t be getting anytime soon. One week is long enough for me to not go online so, I went to subscribe a broadband. Long story short, here I am, back here at LynthiaWong.com!

First meal in Mangalore, I only ate one quarter of it. Lol.

Yin-du is so far so good for me. Seriously, Yin-du is better than I expected. Except for some of the locals, wet weather and muddy place. The word dirty is no longer foreign to me here. But, fear not because my hostel here is all new and clean. Same goes to the shopping malls here too.

Going out shopping with umbrellas, we can’t risk getting drenched all the time.

So far, I am not feeling homesick. But, I definitely miss family and friends back home loads. Classes will officially start next week. This week’s are just orientations on respective subjects. I can’t wait to start learning something new. Something that I know I will be doing for the rest of my life.

My comfy bed!

Welcome to Yin-du, welcome to university life, welcome to dentistry.

The founder of Manipal

Welcome to the new chapter of my life.

Before I start writing about my new chapter of life in India, I want to write something and put up some photos here. Hope this will distract you all while I am on my way to India.  I am feeling quite calm at the moment. I just hope I don’t cry when I bid goodbye because it’s not the best thing to do for me. I want to leave this place feeling happy and excited of what’s in-store for me. It’s not like I’m not coming home anymore!

I’m going to look this happy in India too!

Soon, a new chapter awaits me in the land of India. It’s not going to be easy but I know God is there for me all the time.

I will not be distracted of what I am supposed to do in India. I will do my best there!

Farewell to my beloved family and friends. I will miss all of you back home. Worry not for I will take care of myself. God will take good care of me in India. I pray that God will be with you all always and watch over you all. Take care and God bless!
