Foo Xin Yi, 20, on feeling a new beginning in a familiar environment while being away from home.

Foo has a habit of waking up early between 4 AM to 6 AM before her class starts. She browses through her Facebook and Twitter to get the latest updates on her friends or the news while lying on the bed.

Foo said whenever she feels too pressured she will watch a movie to take her mind off of the situation she is facing every day.
