Serendipity

2012-02-06T05:34:00.000+08:00

Okay so let me give you a scenario. Your friend doing something, like a chore of some sort. And looks like the person could use some help. What do you do?

A.) See if the friend needs help.
B.) Just carry on with what you're doing.

The logical answer would be to go for A. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) What I don't understand is why some people opt for choice B instead. Of course, you do not have any obligation to help your friend. But then again, is not that what friends do, help each other? One might argue that if the friend needed help, the friend should ask. After all, ask and you will receive right?

Is there actually a right answer to my scenario?

In my opinion, I'd like to think someone has the initiative enough to ask the friend he/she needs help. But then again, maybe some people are just too blur to see that the person needs help. In that case, does the person just be thick skinned and ask for help? Or just say nothing, carry on with what he/she is doing and wonder why no one is helping them?

I don't really the point of this post, but it's just something I'm wondering. Seems like I'm making life more complicated then it really is. xD

What's new?

2012-02-04T14:21:00.000+08:00

Could it be that my life is so incredibly boring and mundane that I cannot think of anything interesting to blog about?

New Year

2012-01-20T13:07:00.000+08:00

It's already Jan 19th! I honestly feel like I have no time to blog at all. There's just other things to do. Lol. I'm only blogging now because I have some time at work, and I don't really have homework that's due tomorrow. It's only the third day of class but I can already feel the workload piling up. It's going to be a tough semester. It'll be good thought, I'm pretty excited about all my classes, well except one, but that's just because of the professor. Hahaha. I think I'm probably most excited for my New Testament class, simply because it's the non-business class I've taken in a while, plus the professor's super funny. I loved it when I was in his Old Testament class. A part of me still isn't ready for school to start though. I wish I could go back to NYC and relive the holiday with my friends again. We had so much fun. Photos are up on Facebook, btw. You'll be able to see it if you were my friend. xD

I really don't know how often I'll be blogging. I sense a whole buncha school load coming in, and with all other obligations, I probably won't have a lot of time. It's not like I blog often anyway, but I'll really try. It'll probably be just short updates here and there of how life's going.

So, what do you think of the recent SOPA hype? :)

New York Christmas

2011-12-25T00:05:00.000+08:00

It's Christmas Eve in New York!! And I finally have things to blog about now. XD spending Christmas and new years here. Yes be jealous. Hee. :D so far we've been to Chinatown, Bryant park, MoMA, Grand Central Station, Museum of Natural History, New York public library and visited Philadelphia too. We're going to visit the Guggenheim and central park today. Pretty excited about that. Don't have my laptop so can't post any pics now. Will definitely do do when I'm back. It's not snowing here like I expected, so no white Christmas. It's snowing back in abilene apparently. How weird is that?

Anyway I need to go get ready. Blessed Christmas to everyone! Wish I was back home with everyone. :)

Ending Well.

2011-12-16T04:06:00.000+08:00

I AM DONE WITH FINALS!!!!!!!

Sooooo glad to be done. This semester passed quickly though. But I'm still glad it's over! Now time to enjoy the Christmas break. We leave for NYC on monday! Super duper excited. ^^ I think I'll start packing today. I only wish the sun would come out. :( It's raining now, which is kind of depressing, and does not match how I'm feeling at all! I'm currently at work, waiting for the time to pass. The library's dead quiet now. Hahaha, I guess all the student's have gone off for the break. Hmm. I don't know what else to say. I suppose I'll leave it at that for now. Till something interesting happens for me to blog about. xD

When the snow isn't worth it.

2011-12-06T07:42:00.000+08:00

Today, I am going to rant about the blasted wind. Yes, wind. It's enough that it's already so cold, it has to be windy too. My ears are going to fall off. I like the snow and all that, but the wind's a killer, I tell you. :( I don't like coldddddd. I can deal with the cold, actually, but not the wind. I hope it won't be this windy when we go to NYC for Christmas break. Gaah. I need the sun. xD

Tis the season to be jolly!

2011-12-03T00:54:00.000+08:00

I'm blogging! Like I said I would! :D Hooray for not having class today. Really needed the morning off to just relax. Haha. I can't wait till Christmas! :) My school lighted up the campus yesterday. It's really pretty! Here's a cacat picture to show you. Please excuse my bad quality, I was using my point and shoot, and it was too cold to really take any good pictures. But I'll make sure we go for a walk one night and take pictures that will do my pretty campus justice. :)

The main tree in purple lights, of course! Purple and Gold all the way!

On another note, we went shopping on Black Friday. Not like those crazy shoppers, but we went after the hype died down a little. Anyway we were shopping, and we went into a Christian store and GOSH, they were having sales for their fiction bargain books! They were selling them for about 3 dollars per book. Needless to say I went a little crazy. Hahaha. Worth it though! Here's a picture of the books I bought. Saw a whole bunch of Ted Dekker books and I just had to buy them. Heeee. Be jealous people!

Jane Austen Ruined My Life was the only one which cost $5. Really want to read it though!

So yeah, that was my main purchase. :) Now I need for finals to be over so I can start reading! I have a final presentation on Tuesday and 2 paper due Friday before finals week. Pray for God's grace to guide me through! :) Have a blessed weekend everyone!

2011-12-01T01:46:00.000+08:00

My goodness. Nov passed by way way way too fast, I didn't get the chance to update! I've just been busy with so many other things to do. :D We just had our thanksgiving break and now there's only 2 weeks left of classes then it'll be finals and then Christmas break!! :)) Super excited and can't wait for it to be here already. I'm so so tired of school and classes. Hmm, I don't know what to blog about. I'm currently waiting to go back to my apartment, and have lunch. My ride should be here soon. xD I'll update again soon. ^^

October fun

2011-10-25T07:01:00.000+08:00

I have been slacking. In everything, I feel. Can you believe October's almost over? I can't. 1 and a half months and the semester will be over. Good gosh, time to buck up. On another note, I really think the fact that my American friends rarely blog makes me uninspired to blog too. Plus, I just feel like I have a whole bunch of other things to do. ;) Time cannot be passing any faster. I'm already looking at what classes to take next semester. If everything goes to plan, I might go to Austria next Fall. Super excited! :) That's a huge IF. I also don't know if I want to spend my last college semester away from HSU. *mixed feelings* Anyway, we'll see how that goes.

Switchfoot was in Abilene yesterday and we went! It was a really long long concert. Started off with Atomic Tom, then waited for them to set up for Anberlin, Anberlin played, then waited again for them to set up for Switchfoot, and finally, it was time for Switchfoot. Concert started at 7pm and Switchfoot only came out at like 9 something. Talk about having patience. It was worth the wait though, they did a great job and we had fun.

Btw, my induction to Delta Mu Delta is tomorrow! Took a while for me to find a dress, but I finally did! Hooray. Wasn't cheap too, but it was good quality material. :) It's going to be a busy week, but life has been good. Took a trip to Austin during fall break, that was fun too. Got to make a stop at Lubbock next. :) Time to get off work. I'll update soon! *crosses fingers*

You're my Constant, in every moment.

Now I just have to remember it.

Furious

2011-10-06T01:08:00.000+08:00

His love is deep, His love is wide

And it covers us

His love is fierce, His love is strong

It is furious

His love is sweet, His love is wild

And it's waking hearts to life

Hello Fall :)

2011-09-29T13:27:00.002+08:00

Can you believe it's almost the end of September?? Where did all the days go? Autumn is officially here! Not my favorite season, because that means winter comes after that. I still love seeing the leaves turn red and start falling though. :) Oh, and our campus is swarmed with really pretty monarch butterflies! There's literally hundreds of them flying around. It's really pretty! I really, really need to go out and take some pictures. They're on the way migrating to Mexico, apparently. Hopefully I'll take some photos tomorrow and I'll post them up here. We'll see if I find the time to do so. There's just so many things that need to be done, it's difficult to find time to do what I want to do.

Anyway, I have some reading to do, I'm reading this book called Buy-ology. It's quite interesting. It's about marketing and how the brain responds to it. :) So yeah, I need to read, and I'll be off to bed, but not after I rant about washing dishes. ;)

Awesome September!

2011-09-21T00:02:00.001+08:00

I've been meaning to blog. Really. I was just really busy and didn't make time to do so. I shouldn't even be blogging now but I don't feel like reading my textbook, so this is my channel of procrastination. xD Hmm wow, it's been more than a month since I last updated. I'll try to update more, I promise. :D Anyway, life back in the USA have been good. Although I still wanna go home. I need some M'sian food right now. Gahhh. School and classes are the same. I think I'm still trying to get back into the studying mode. It's not working out too well. I get distracted so easily. It's not good.

Anyway, if you didn't know, I turned 20 about a week and a half ago. It was a fun day and I wouldn't have had it any other way. :) Thanks to those who made it meaningful. I loved my cake! xD I had 3 cakes this year. Hahaha, I guess this makes up for the past years.

On another note, I received a letter in the mail yesterday saying I got accepted into Delta Mu Delta. It's basically this honor society for Business students and you can only get in by invite. So I'm really really really blessed. Guess all that studying paid off somehow. Hahaha, and of course, I couldn't have done it without God's grace. :) I feel like my GPA's going to drop this semester though, because I feel like I'm recovering from Summer. But I'll survive.

For those who wants to know, my brother is doing fine. He complains about Bio everyday, according to Denzil. But other than that, I think he's coping. Hahahaha, give him some time and he should be fine lah. xD

I need to work on my presentation now. I'll blog soon! :)

I only have exactly a week left in Malaysia!!! :( HOW on earth did time pass so quickly? Sigh. I really don't want to leave. But it'll be good to see everyone back on Abilene. I guess? xD

Just a short post today, my family is having a party tonight mainly for my brother. Since he's leaving for the US. We've been busy all day. I'm so tired already. Hahaha. Oh and I extracted my upper right wisdom yesterday! It was kind off agonizing. How do dentists do this for a living?! She said I have a special tooth though. :D Maybe I'll take a picture of it later. XD

You know who I'll miss most in Malaysia? Sigh my cousin Hao Yi. He's just so...dreamy ^^

Hahaha, thanks Hao Yi, for hacking my laptop. xD

Back?

2011-08-08T23:55:00.000+08:00

Only one post per month? My blogging streak is way off than I could ever imagine. I think I use blogging as a stress reliever more than anything else. When life is filled with so many things to do, I find time to blog as a means to de-stress myself. And now when it's the summer and life is so free, filled with my own agenda, I suppose I don't find the need to blog. Hmm. It could also be due to the fact that I blog when I'm in the US so I can keep the people here in Malaysia updated. Now that I'm here, there isn't the need to blog that often anymore. Either way, hopefully I start blogging on a more regular basis.

I shall not mention Abilene, because I don't want to be reminded that I'm leaving in about 2 weeks. :(

Juin and I went shopping today. It was fun. Bought some souvenirs and such at central market, then headed to Pavilion because Juin saw this pair of boots on sale at F21 on Saturday but didn't get to buy them. However, it wasn't there when we went today and she was mighty sad. :( We walked till my feet hurt. But the yummy dinner cooked by my aunty made up for it. ^^ We also had a good time talking about how my parents met and other interesting relationship-y stuff.

I think I'm gonna dye my hair tomorrow and I have no idea what color to dye it. Should I bleach my hair? But my mom says it's super damaging to the hair. Hmmm. I guess we'll see how it turns out when I decide tomorrow. On another note, have you heard of my dad's pimple-free story? It's hilarious. But then again, you have to be there to get the full affects of it. xD

"When you look into Jesus' eyes, it is as if his arms reach out and grab you by the shoulders, and pull you into his being. You find yourself enveloped in an ocean indescribable love, compassion, mercy, and grace-an ocean with no bottom and no horizon. The love and goodness stretch indefinitely in an indescribable expanse. The completion of every good thing fills this ocean: the fullness of joy, the fullness of peace, and the fullness of life. You feel like you are floating in a sea of all that is good, all that is noble, and all that is righteous. You see, there is no simple answer to the question, "What colour are his eyes?" As David said, "Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens." (Ps. 36:5) That it does."

-As Easy As Drinking Water, Afshin Javid

How amazing it is that we, as Christians, can experience a love so beautiful. If only people chose to believe, then they too can know this love that is Jesus. :)

I don't want the summer to end.

2011-07-21T23:26:00.000+08:00

I'm finding it difficult to believe that the summer is already ending. Just a month more and it'll be back to Abilene. Time passes way too quickly. I don't think I'm ready to leave the comfort of home and be on my own again. But I suppose that's how life is. I can't even imagine what'll it be like to graduate next December. What a scary thought.
Anyhow, the summer's been good, I suppose. Haven't had the mood to blog much. There always seems to be something better to do, or I could just be plain lazy. It may not be the most productive summer, but I'm glad I came home. I don't know what else to write. I'm going through an interesting phase of life. Pray God gives me the wisdom to do what's right.

HOME ♥

2011-06-08T12:29:00.000+08:00

It's been about 3 weeks since I've been home and I'm really loving it! :) Maybe not so much the humidity. xD But the food's amazing. And it's great to see everyone again. Haven't been doing much, mainly just hanging out with family, friends and chilling and relaxing. It almost feels unproductive to a certain extent. But, that's what the holidays are about, right? I am considering getting a job though, but we'll see how that goes. For now, I'm just enjoying doing nothing. Haha. Oh and we'll be going on family vacation tomorrow, so that should be fun. :D And I can't wait to go to Penang, ahhhh food. ^^ Anyway, don't you love my poster my mom did for me? xD

I hope everyone's having a good summer! :)

This is no more.

2011-05-17T12:58:00.001+08:00

THANK GOD it's over.

Yes, I like to munch on stuff while I study.

And it'll start all over again in the Fall. I've never been happier for Summer 2011. <3

2011-05-04T05:57:00.001+08:00

YES, it does say 13 more days till I go home. Only 13!!! I really, really cannot wait. That's like in 2 weeks! Goshers. I'm sick and tired of studying, I can't wait for finals week to be over and i can really start packing properly. Darn, so much to do before I can get on the plane. But I know I can do it. ^^

Anyway, random fact, I witnessed a cat jump off my 3rd floor apartment today. No joke. Scared me a bit. Ask me for more details. It's best I tell it face to face, with verbal intonation and expressions. xD

Another random fact, I saw 4 men walking in a single file today as I was walking to the library. And guess what, they were all holding their cell phones with the left hand, and talking into it. I suppose it's nothing new, considering that we live in such a technological world. I think we rely too much on technology though. But that's just my opinion.

So apparently Oba-Osama's dead. xD I don't really have an opinion on it yet, so don't ask me about it. I'm just glad that he won't be around to cause deaths anymore. =/

Oh, and I only have 4 finals to take! My professor canceled the one we were suppose to have on Thursday, because she thinks our project is more important. I hope she won't grades us too harshly. I feel like she's expecting us to do great on our paper and presentation. Anyway, it'll go good, I hope. :)

Just 2 more weeks!

      He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

I hope it's been a good week so far! :)

no mood lah

2011-04-08T06:41:00.000+08:00

I've had no mood to blog the past few weeks. I don't know why because I've had relatively decent past couple of weeks, with not too many tests. I guess every time I tell myself to blog I come up with an excuse not to. xD Anyway, only just 37 more days till HOME! Dang does time fly. I hope it'll be super slow when I'm back home. Just thinking about coming back here and studying is kinda depressing :P But it'll be alright. I registered for my Fall classes yesterday, I'll be taking Folk Dancing! HAHA. All about learning new things, right? I can't believe I'm starting my second semester of my Junior year. Gosh. And after that I'll just have Senior year and I'll be graduating! Oh how time flies. :) It's exciting though.
Hmm. I'm really tired of studying. Ughh. I have a paper due tomorrow and I'm only less than half done. Not looking forward to staying up tonight. Need. Motivation. I should be working on it right now, actually. The fact that I get so easily distracted doesn't help either. Whatever. I'll do it later lah. I don't feel like typing anymore. I'll blog soon, hopefully. xD

Spring Break 2011

2011-03-19T15:49:00.000+08:00

Spring Break has flown by too fast. I'm really dreading having to start school and all its homework and assignments. Ughhhh. *think happy thoughts!* Every week passed will just be a week closer to home. That's all I can think about these days. :) Ahhhh, I can't wait. Only 58 more days!
Anyway, it has been a relaxing break. I love being able to just do nothing and laze around all day, and read books. I finished the first book of the Hunger Game series. It was good, I can't wait for the movie to come out. Hehe. I need to get my hands on the 2nd and 3rd one, but I'm afraid if I start it now, I won't stop reading. Which won't be good. Hmm. I'll get to it eventually. I don't feel like blogging today. I don't know why. Maybe I'll have more motivation once school starts and I get into the routine of things. There really isn't much to blog about anyway. All we've been doing this week is sleep, eat, watch tv, chit chat, and lots of cooking! ^^
I'll update soon! :)

Don't you love spring?

2011-03-11T06:29:00.000+08:00

Today is such a beautiful day! Except for the fact that it was freezing cold during the night/morning, which made me toss and turn the whole night, and losing sleep. For now, I just want to lie down in the sun. :) It's prefect spring weather. I wish I was more motivated to go out and take more photos. Maybe I will during spring break. I just need to finish my paper and I'll be free!! :D
OH, as of next semester, I'll be the chief photographer for The Brand, our school newspaper. ^^ It's not that big a deal la. The newspaper doesn't get read very much by the students. Haha. And I don't think there was anyone else who wanted the post. So odd huh. Well, I'll just take it as an excuse to get a dSLR!! I've been meaning to get one, just have to save money now. Hehe, Maybe I'll have more motivation then. Hmm. Anyway. I can't believe how quickly the semester's flown by. It's already the middle of the semester. And in 67 days, I'll be home. ^^ yay yay yay. I need to get my paper done. I'll update soon! :)

The flowers are blossoming!

2011-03-03T23:56:00.000+08:00

Spring is coming!! :))) If you didn't know, it's my favorite season. I love seeing everything turn green and come to life. Ahh, it makes me happy. ^^ Not to mention the fact that it'll be nice and warm, not freezing cold, it's perfect! Sorry I'm a little hyper. I saw the flowers this morning and it just made me glad! With my tiredness, equals a little hyper Steph. xD I took my International Management test yesterday, I hope I dominated. :P It wasn't as bad as I thought it would, but there were still some tricky questions. Studying for this test was nerve wrecking. Everyone was talking about how difficult and vague this professor was. I started feeling all nervous about the test during the class before. It was insanely weird. I'm just glad it's over. I can't believe I have another test next week. When will this end?? Well, at least it'll be Spring Break after that. YAY!! Finally some time to just relax and no nothing. I think I'll just go to sleep the whole week. Hee~ It's been a super stressful week. My mom gave me the most random piece of advice ever: "Don't need to work so hard." o.o She has got to be the only mom to tell that to her child. Hahaha.She's so funny. xD Anyway, it's about time I get off work, long day ahead. I shall leave you with this cute little photo!

74 days and counting! :)

March already?

2011-02-28T11:55:00.000+08:00

March is approaching! Dang, I feel like the year's flying, or maybe it's just because February's a short month. About 2 more months before I go home. Ahhhh. I cannot wait. But, so much to do before I go home. Such a busy semester. But that's what college is all about. :) I'm tired of studying and having to take tests. Ugh. Oh, but I did get to see Beauty and the Beast. It was good. I really liked it. Worth the $25.90 I paid for it. Which is considerably cheaper than what it would cost back home. Plus I had pretty decent seats too. Be envious, people! ^^ They're also going to have a Legally Blond Musical, which I find kinda odd. I need to start taking more photos and posting them. It's so sad that I don't have much inspiration to blog anymore. And not like my life's that interesting. Abilene is known for its boring-ness. I'll try to update more soon. :)

getting by

2011-02-22T14:05:00.000+08:00

And a new week begins. It's amazing how I got through last week, especially with the amount of things I had to accomplish. I was so relieved when it was over. It feels like the semester is only getting busier though. There's quite a bit of things to do this week too, just that it isn't academic related, which makes it a little better, and more fun. :) My friends and I are going to go see Beauty and the Beast tmr, the broadway version. They're selling the tickets at half price 1 hour before the show begins for students. So, we're going early to line up, hopefully there will be tickets for us! :) Hmmm, there really isn't much that I wanna write. I can't believe February's ending! But that just means the time for me to go home is drawing closer! Yay! :) Anyway, it's bedtime for me. I have a test I need to conquer tomorrow. And like my roommate just told me, well rested, well tested!! xD Hope you people have a great week!

Not the average college student

2011-02-15T12:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I was wondering if I spent too much time studying. I almost spent the whole of yesterday cooped up in my room, studying and to the library after that for work and more studying. I know I have lots to do this week, but it was kind of depressing having had to spend all my time studying while it seemed like everyone else was out having fun. I wasn't in a very good mood. But then this morning, I got an email, reminding me that I had made it to the President's List for the Fall 2010 semester and that they had sent in a press release to the media; 2 local newspapers in town. It made my day. I was reminded again why I worked so hard. Knowing that I have achieved something to make my parents proud of me means everything. I'll gladly forgo what everyone else is doing just to work harder. Now don't think I don't have any fun or anything. I still have my daily dose of fun every now and then, but maybe just not as much as the average college student. But it's all worth it. :) Note that I'm not wanting to brag or anything. This genuinely made my day and it's my blog, after all. You can't tell me what not to post. :P

Oh and if you are interested, check me out here. :)

decluttered

2011-02-10T11:32:00.000+08:00

So, I thought my blog was getting a little cluttered and decided to take away the chat box and the Plurk box. No one reads them anyway. My chat box was beyond dead. So yeah, I'm back to having just 2 columns, and that's the way I like it, to be honest. There's just more space now. ^^
Anyway, just a short post today, I'm realizing that I will have lots and lots to do next week. I'm anticipating 3 tests. Oh, joy. And 2 papers due. Let's hope I survive the week. I better go start on my test review now. I can't wait till the weekend! I couldn't believe they didn't cancel school today! I kept checking my phone in the morning to see if they sent a text message saying school's been canceled. But no such text came, unfortunately. It's all good though, I guess. Till then!

the after snow

2011-02-09T06:45:00.000+08:00

I wish I knew more people over here who blog on a regular basis, maybe that will inspire me to blog more often. I realize that my blog is slowly dying. xD For some reason, I just have no motivation to blog. Or, maybe I just don't feel the need to blog about whats happening in my life over here. Well, whatever the case, my resolution this year is to try to blog more, and to actually make it interesting for you people to read. Honestly, I don't think there are any readers left. =/ Plus, it's not like I do heavy advertising on my blog anyway. Hmm, maybe as a Marketing major I could change that. That would be a very interesting marketing research question, actually. Okay, but back to what I was saying, I will try to blog more often, and maybe post more photos. The speaker at chapel said that people rather look at images than read. I much rather be caught up in the story words create, in my opinion. :)

Anyway, it snowed again last Sunday. Like, big, white flakes. It was really pretty. But it didn't snow enough for the school to cancel classes on Monday. However, it is forecasted to get really cold tonight and there's a chance it might snow again. So, classes might be canceled again on Weds! Haha. We are going to suffer trying to get back on track. But oh well. ^ ^

The Packers won the Superbowl, if you M'sian readers even bother. xD I stopped watching after BEP's half time show. We were really excited about the snow then. Oh and Liverpool won. Which serves Torres right. Yes, I'm a little bitter about him leaving the club. Talk about having some loyalty? But oh well, that's life, I suppose. Anyway, that's enough for today. I need to go finish my law homework. Oh, fun. Have a good week people!

CNY 2011

2011-02-05T00:42:00.000+08:00

This year marks my third Chinese New Year away from home. Sigh. I can't wait till I'm able to be home and celebrate it again. I need some good food, cookies and ang pau's!! :) Ah well. This year wasn't that bad. It started snowing Monday night and we had Tuesday off. And the weather didn't get better, and so we had Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday off! Whoop~~ It's just like having my own CNY holiday. Couldn't have gotten any better. I'm just really thankful, it's like God made it snow just so we could have the week off. ^^ I'm just not looking forward t having to make everything up. I hope the professors take it easy on us.
Oh, you like my countdown at the top? :D I can't wait till I'm home again!! :)) Friends, we need to hang out. And, I need to go to an island! I miss the sun. Lol. Okay, I need to stop thinking a head of myself. Haha. I think my posts are getting really short. For some reason, I don't have anything interesting to blog about. Hmmm. We played in the snow that day. It was really fun. It was so pretty. So clean, so white, everywhere. The snow was like sand. xD Wasn't wet enough to build a snow man, it was too powdery. We could do snow angels though! I got some photos. Don't know if it's blog worthy though, was more occupied playing. Hehehe. I'll see if there are any photos la then I'll post them. :) For now, I think I'll enjoy my snow day and jump back into bed. I'll worry about studying later. For those back home, I hope you all are having a great CNY! :)

I'm not dead.

2011-01-25T13:47:00.001+08:00

So I know I haven't been the best blogger around. But with school starting and all, I just found it difficult to make time to blog. It's the second week of school and I already wish that the semester could be over. With 5 business classes, 3 of which are Senior level classes, it's going to be tough. But, I shall strive forward, knowing that in 5 months, I will be home!!! Sigh, I can't wait. I think I'm going to put a counter to count down the days till I get home. That's how excited I am. :D
Anyway, it'll probably be short posts from now on. I'll try to blog whenever I can. With so much going on, it won't be surprising if this blog dies. But oh well.. we'll see how things go. Pray that I'll have a good semester! :)

Added: I donated blood today!! It was an interesting first experience. xD I donated 1 unit. heeee. I was fine when I got done, but while waiting for Caryn, I got a little dizzy, started sweating, and had to lie down. No worries, it's all good now. :)

Blessed

2011-01-13T16:08:00.000+08:00

Finally, as promised, I introduce you to my baby Roxanne. :)

The winter break would have been so dull if I didn't have her around. Thanks to my parents for getting her for me. ^^ Although gas prices are killing me, I'm gonna use the car to be a blessing to others.

Winter break's almost over. :( I really am not looking forward studying again. It's going to be a good semester, I hope. I'll be having all business classes. The only plus point about all of this is that I get to go home soon! I really cannot wait. I hear Malaysia calling me. . xD It's gonna be a good year. :)

Overdue

2010-12-31T15:16:00.000+08:00

You would think, with the holidays and all, I'd have more updates, but I think I'm updating less than I would if it was during the semester. I think once the holidays start, all discipline flies out my second story window. Anyway, I'll try my best to have more updates. ^^

Well, just like how everyone's mentioning it, it's New Year's Eve. Oh how fast time passes. I'm already done with second year of college. I'll be a Junior in the Spring! Gosh I feel old-er. xD I'm now currently staying at my mom's friend's house for a few days; Caryn's with me. It's good to get out of Abilene for a few days, we're in Murphy, TX, btw. There's nothing much to do around here though, except eat and shop. Which is pretty much what we've been doing. We went to this Malaysian/Singaporean food store on Weds. It was AMAZING. The Hainanese Chicken Rice was to die for. Sigh, we're planning on going there to eat again when we leave. Hehe. Oh! and I finally posted my Fall semester photos on FB, so be sure to check them out at my profile! :) I'm going to go do some reading now. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! :))

I like vacations

2010-12-17T10:33:00.000+08:00

I promise I've been meaning to blog, but there's always something else to do. I'm thoroughly enjoying not having to study. It's pretty awesome. ^^ Having Roxanne makes it even better. Mostly I've been working at the library, hanging around with friends, doing lots of cooking, I don't really remember what I've been doing. Haha. We went to Dallas yesterday actually. Found some sweet $5 deals, which makes me happy! :)
I need to post some pictures soon. I will get to them, eventually. When things settle down a little more, and when I'm not working. I actually kinda just wanna cuddle in bed and read all day. I am oddly not in the blogging mood right now. I'll write a longer post another day alrite? :D

Where did the semester go?

2010-12-06T13:59:00.000+08:00

Oh I know, I know it's been more than ages since I've updated. I don't even know why I'm choosing to update on final's eve. Yes, finals begin tomorrow. *Oh, joy* 4 days, 5 exams. I can't wait for it to be over already. How can 4 days seem to last so long? The only good thing about finals is the holiday after. Ah, 5 long weeks of non-studying, how I long for thee! xD Anyway, pray it all goes well okay? :)

On another note, I've gotten my car!!!! wheeee ^^ her name's Roxanne. Megan helped name her! Super excited. I don't have to be bored to death this holiday now!! Yay yay yay.

Okay. I need to get some sleep and wake up to review for my test. I have Accounting tomorrow, Bio on Tues, Business Comm. and HR Management on Weds and I finish with Chem at 8am on Thurs. Ugh. I'll be glad to have that over with. I'll have a proper update after finals!

I solemnly swear that

2010-11-18T08:19:00.000+08:00

I WILL blog soon!!

I can't wait till a relaxing Thanksgiving!

:))

I also can't wait to watch HP!

I need someone to bring me!

get my car.

;)

With Autumn comes. . .

2010-11-06T23:30:00.002+08:00

The falling leaves
The colder weather
The dryness in the air
The strong, too cold, howling winds
The disgusting-ness of having dry flaky skin
The constant need to put on lotion, especially after a shower
The hassle needed to put on all jackets when leaving the room
The hassle needed to take off jackets when entering the heated building
The hassle needed to put on the jackets, again, when leaving the building
But the worst of all,

WINTER IS APPROACHING

sigh

Winter makes me super depressed and unmotivated. I hate getting out under the warm cozy covers in the morning. The only positive I see is that the semester is ending! I can't wait to finish, even though it feels like the semester passed pretty quickly. Can't believe I'm going to be starting my Junior year soon! Just so fast, too fast. So much uncertainty, it scares me sometimes. xD But that's what life is all about, I guess. ^^

life

2010-10-25T11:01:00.000+08:00

death

My dad's cousin's mom passed away a about week ago, and this morning I received news that my granduncle passed away. My grandpa's brother. It came as a shock to all of us. He passed away in his sleep, totally unexpected. Absolutely horrid, the only comfort is in knowing that he's in heaven. :) I don't like dealing with death, it makes me think about how short life is, and what I am doing to make it meaningful. It makes me confused. ><
On another note, it's been a good week. It was prayer and fasting week, and it has been really beneficial to me. The theme was wisdom, and some of the scripture I read was relevant to what's going on in life now. I feel like there's so much in my mind that I'm about to explode. I don't even know how to feel about everything. There's so much to think about. Sigh.

I don't wanna go into it now, or even try to sort my mind out. I'm just too tired. I wish we had a longer fall break. One day off does not count as a break. Having a test on Tuesday does not help either. Plus, I am in no mood to study at all. It's going to be a long week, but I know I'll get through it. (Trying to be optimistic here) ;)

I'm a stupid prep with a sexy smile who got stabbed horribly by a bag of weed, because that's how I roll.

2010-10-21T06:50:00.001+08:00

You know, I actually think my classes aren't that difficult, this semester. But it just seems tough because I'm taking General Chemistry, and everyone knows that my chemistry knowledge is practically zilch. I feel like I have to put in so much more effort compared to everyone else just to obtain the same grade. That, just tires me out, taking double the time to complete one question. I know I can do it, it just takes, time. It's all good though, I guess wanting to get a good grade is my motivation, I don't know how long I'll survive though. I need winter break to be here already! Except the cold ruins everything. Ah well, I'm here to experience new things aren't I?

It's going to be a busy week ahead, 2 chem tests and a business test. Plus, I'm involved in SING! It's this performance that my school has every year. Different groups come up with themes and they sing and dance according to their theme. It's pretty cool. We, the ISF group, is doing what they call the interact. It's not the main performance, but we're doing the in between performances. We're performing a skit. Anyway, it's this week and we're having practices every night starting Tuesday, till Saturday. =/ But it'll be fun. :D I'll post a video if possible!!

I hope to have more interesting updates soon. There's just so many other things to do. But I'll leave you all with a photo of my apartment mates and I. They brought me to this place called Ann's Thai for my belated birthday dinner. It was super delish Thai food!

From left: Becca, Katie, myself and Lisa. :) I'm SO blessed to have them as friends. They really are some of the nicest people I know. Anyway, pray I survive the week. I hope you do too! :)

terrified. :)

2010-09-20T13:38:00.001+08:00

It was Science week last week, and now it's gonna be Business week! Having all business tests this week. Pray it goes well. Accounting will be up first tmr. Had a really tiring week, but it was all good, it was a pretty fun and productive week. It's going to be a short post today because it's bed time for me. I need to take more photos and post them up. I need inspiration. Anyway, I'll leave you with this song that I've been listening to all day.

I had no idea Chuck (Zach Levi) could sing! :) I really really like how this song sounds. ^^

Have a good week and remember constantly be in prayer! :)

19th!

2010-09-13T11:04:00.000+08:00

The best way to spend the birthday is to spend it with your friends. :) Nothing special happened, but I had a good time. Had class in the morning, lunch, worked for an hour, and even went for a professor's memorial; he passed away Sept 6 from a sudden heart attack. Awful stuff, he was young too. :( But, things happen and we have to deal with it. Went to the Greens for dinner after that, and usual, we played capt. ball. It's awesome; playing with the group of friends always cracks me up. After that Caryn, Yen Ting, Sing Rou, Janet and I chatted a while, and we decided to go to Sonic to get drinks. Since we just played sports and all. It was over there, parked at beside the ordering kiosk that we saw.... our first live police arrest!!! Well, it was a first for me, not too sure about the rest. It was an experience. Haha, we were just sitting in the car, drinking our cream slushies, Java Chiller and Sonic Blast when 2 police cars pulled up behind this car and kind of blocked our exit. Janet drives an Odyssey, so you can imagine a pretty big vehicle. We think the guy in the car was drunk and did not want to take the test and therefore got arrested. We heard the police ask "So you don't want to take the test?" Our windows were down. And we has handcuffed and escorted into the police car. Another police car pulled up after that too, there were 2 guys and I think they let the other guy go because we saw him walking off. The police searched the car too. It was pretty interesting to watch. xD They finally drove off after about half an hour or so, I wasn't keeping track. There you go, that about sums up what I did on my birthday. :)

I have 3 tests coming up next week. I have no idea how I'm gonna survive, oh, I think I'll go jump off the Eiffel Tower. ;) Okay, I'm dramatizing a little here. I really hope the week goes well though, I'll be happy just to get through the week and get a decent score on my tests. I'm not even in the mood to study. Sigh. Anyway, I really need to go try to study now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, with my roommate watching the VMA outside in the living room, but I'll try. ;)

Slacker. xD

2010-09-06T12:06:00.000+08:00

The past 2 weeks have been so full with things to do that I really haven't had time to update at all. Classes, activities and church are really taking a toll on me. Plus, the amount of reading I have to do for my classes aren't helping either. I think I need to cut down on my activities, or I don't think I'll survive the next semester, when classes get more difficult. My most difficult class this sem will most likely be Chemistry. Yeah, it was kind of a last decision thing, and I'm testing the waters to see if Science is my "thing." I have my first test this coming Thurs, we'll see how that goes. It's gonna be a tough semester, I have a lot work for classes than I did last semester. But, that's what college is all about, right? I'll survive, somehow. ;) It's labor day tmr and my school isn't giving us the day off! That's just wrong, I think it's only been 2 weeks of school, but I feel like I already need a break.
Anyway, the first part of the family vacation is out on FB! :) check it out here! I'll upload the rest when I finish editing and when I have the time to do it; probably this weekend. Well, it's just another short post to keep everyone updated. I need to go memorize Chemistry charts now. Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to tell you next time. Have a good week!

Best 15 days of the whole year.

2010-08-21T23:34:00.000+08:00

I see I ended with a pretty bitter post before I left for my holiday. But oh well, things happen. And I had a fantastic time with the fam! :D I wanted to update during the trip, but wasn't really in the mood to do so. xD Anyway, this will be a quick post, still have not got my blogging mojo back. I don't know when I'll post photos of the trip. With school starting, I'll probably be busy. Sigh, I don't want school to start. I wish I could just holiday my whole life. ^^

I'll update more on the trip, with some photos when I have the time to sort through and edit them. Hopefully it'll be soon. As for now, I'm settling pretty okay in my new apartment. I have too much stuff. Spent the last 2 days unpacking, at least the place kinda looks like a room now. Just need to finish unpacking the small stuff and decorate! I don't think I'll get much done tho, I just started on a book. Hehe. We'll see how the day goes la. :)

are u kidding?

2010-08-04T02:05:00.000+08:00

I am so pissed off, it's not even funny.

I am so angry beyond measure.

sigh

My stupid flight to SFO got canceled today, after I've been waiting like forever. And I was super excited and all too, and now, they pull this stunt on me. Apparently, their airplane is out of service, and I was scheduled for the same flight the next day. That's like a whole 24 hours, not counting traveling time! Which made me super upset. The lady I talked to wasn't the most helpful around either. Thank God I called again tho, because a seat just opened up and I could get an earlier flight tomorrow. But still, it's like a whole day wasted that I would've spent in SFO. ARGH!!

I hate all these flight stuff.

I'm a plant killer

2010-08-03T06:27:00.000+08:00

It's funny how I was more excited to post a picture of my bruise instead of my new hair cut. xD Yeah, I got a haircut last week. It's not that different la, just a few inches shorter and I decided to get some side bangs. Kinda like a spur of the moment decision. It's different and I kinda like it, still getting used to it and all. I'll post a picture soon enough.

More news: I'm not gonna be living in the dorm anymore! I'm currently staying at friends apartment over the summer and so happens the apartment above us is looking for a apartment mate. So, met one of the girl whom I'll be sharing the side of the apartment with, and she seems pretty nice and cool. I think it'll be exciting, living with people I don't know. And did I mention that they're all ang moh's? It'll definitely be an experience, and I'm looking forward to it. Will update on my apartment mates when I settle in! :)

On another note, the fam leaves tmr at around 10.30am. That's in 4 and a half hours, and their ETA will be around 8pm tmr. Which means I see them in about 27hours!! SUPER excited!!! *jumps up and down* My mind was thinking about so much that I could hardly sleep yesterday, what more tonight. Hahaha.

Anyways, today was the first time after I got my drivers license that I drove around without someone with a license. It was just Caryn and I, had a few errands to run. It was fun. ^^ I'm gonna be holidaying around CA area, it'll be awhile till my next update! Have a good rest of the week! :)

P.S: I've been watering the plant everyday now, and I think it's gotten worse. =/

What happened to July?

2010-07-29T12:55:00.000+08:00

I feel like everyone in the blogging world has taken a slow week, myself included. Haven't read an updated blog in a while. Meg's the exception, she blogged yesterday, I think, or maybe the day before. Everything's the same around here. Haven't been doing much, except planning the trip. If you didn't know, my parents and little brother are coming over next week!!! =))) woot! super excited. We're gonna be traveling around the San Francisco area. The planning, on the other hand, is a whole different matter. There's SO much to plan I get a headache. My dad wants to just take it easy and go with the flow, lol. Let's hope we don't waste too much time doing things like finding a place to stay. xD I just like things to be planned out, and know what we're gonna be doing at this particular time, you know? It'll be a good trip, nevertheless.
On another note, I cannot take care of plants. My friend has a small little plant in her room, which I'm staying now and I was suppose to water it once every few days. It was nice and green and I watered it the first few weeks until recently, when I totally forgot about it. = O (I'd never thought I'd use that emoticon) Needless to say its leaves turned a light shade of brown now. I'm hoping it'll turn green again before my friend gets back. =/
I don't really have much to write. It's gonna be a busy day tmr tho. :) If things go according to plan, and I pray it does, then I'll have stuff to blog about tmr. It's gonna be legen.. wait for it DARY!! :D

oh oh and ask me ANYTHING!! please? xD click HERE!

teehee ;)

Yay for new layout!

2010-07-22T03:32:00.000+08:00

If you haven't noticed, my blog has gone through a major transformation!!! I absolutely LOVE it!! Don't you? :D I've been working on it for a while, but finally decided to get the changes done and put it up. Wheee~ There really isn't much to do here in Abilene, so I need things like this to get excited about. HAHA. Scroll further down and take a look at our cousin's blog list!!! It's legendary!! xD (Too much HIMYM) It all started when Meg and Ash did the same thing on their blogs, and I thought it was pretty cool. But obviously, I can't ask my brother. Those who know him will know why. And so the idea came to me the other day, why not do a cousins one? Legendary! :P So I told Hao Yi and Jia about it and we had a 3 hour long conversation on Skype. It was awesome. ^^ We got all the pix together, edited them, and there you have it. Don't you wish you had cousins like mine?
Anyways, I got peer pressured into signing up for my own formspring page. LoL. So go ahead, ask me anything! It's at the sidebar! :) and of course, thanks to Hao Yi for helping me with the sidebar. Click his picture at the sidebar too!
Alrites, I've got to work now. Stay happy people! :D

Joke of the Day

2010-07-20T11:56:00.001+08:00

Today, was just like any other hot summer day. After dinner, I was channel surfing and guess what I stumbled upon?

For REAL... It was hilarious. Here I am, in Texas, and they're showing Kung Fu Hustle of all the Chinese shows there are. And to top it off, they were speaking English! The boss lady sounded like an evil, old witch in my opinion. It was weird. But it wasn't all bad, they actually timed the wording and all to match whenever the mouth stopped moving. Which I thought was pretty impressive. ;D Nevertheless, it was still funny to watch.

On another note, I was reading online about buying used cars, and boy, there's so much to do. It's kinda overwhelming. =/ Let's hope I find someone or a dealer who's honest and not trying to rip me off. *fingers crossed*

tests, books, and bruises

2010-07-19T14:29:00.002+08:00

It's been 3 days since I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!!!!! Woot!! :) What I had to go through before the test was agonizing though. Sigh. I really really don't like the American DMV office. It's kinda inefficient. See, the last time I went for the test, we were early, we went at like 7.30am; they open at 8am. We were they few early ones and when we went up to the counter they tell us that they'll only start testing at around 9. =.= I honestly don't know why they did that. Anyways this time round, we reached at 9 and guess what, there are like 4 or 5 cars lined up to take the test. You should know that this isn't like Malaysia. Here we just go to the office and tell them we wanna take the test and they test they there and then, and we have to use our own car too. So we went in, took my number, 47, look at the current number: 10. =.=!!!! Needless to say, it's gonna be a long wait; they were going like 10 numbers an HOUR, which is ridiculous. My friend and I waited till about 10.45 and decided that it wasn't worth the wait. Plus, I had to work at 12. And so, we went back. I was so bummed. I really wanted to have the test over with, all that waiting wasn't doing my nerves any good. xD

So I finally get off work at 2 and we head over, again, to the office and thank God, the line wasn't as long. When they called my number, about 45 minutes later, I had to drive the car over beside the building where the examiner will come and begin the test. Even then, I still had to wait, I think I waited for the examiner for maybe close to half an hour. Stress giller. Anyways she finally came out, check the car, and told me I could begin. Parking test was first: parallel parking. There are 2 poles, 1 in front and another at the back. No hitting the poles, of course, and we also couldn't hit the curb when backing into the parking spot. I was super nervous because firstly, I couldn't see the curb since it was only a few inches off the ground. And personally, I don't see anything wrong with hitting the curb. Trucks do that here all the time. Thank God I had a nice examiner, I really think my front tire scrapped the curb, but she didn't say anything. My heart was pounding, I'm telling you. After getting the car in, she didn't say anything, so I assumed I passed that and it was on to the road. It wasn't that bad. She was clear in her directions, unlike the last examiner I had, who wanted me to turn when I was literally a few feet from the turning, and I couldn't turn in time. It was all good, I needed to have more control over the car, but that comes with practice. And so viola! I passed!! :D

That's my story for you: how I passed my test. It's a pretty long detailed story, I completely understand if you don't read all the way. Haha. Other than the test, my apartment mate, Katie lent me a couple of books to read. It's a tetralogy (yes, I looked that up :P) called The Circle Series. It's pretty cool, a sci-fi kinda story, written by a Christian author.

Also, I've been working on changing my blogskin It's in progress, playing with a few different skins, determining which I like best. ;) It'll be up by the end of the summer, hopefully. I've been procrastinating lately. =/

Oh! and we were playing ultimate frisbee the other day, yes, it's a new sport I've picked up, and when I was reaching up to block the frisbee from the opponent, my teammate had the same idea and WHAM, we collided into each other. It was a pretty hard impact which left me with 2 bruises. xD I'm actually pretty proud of them. One on the knee, here's one on my arm.

It looks scarier in real life. The lighting in my room sucks. It kinda looks like someone beat me up. XP Well, that's it for today, time to hit the sack. One more thing, I've been having a craving for nasi lemak. Someone cook for me please! :D ALSO, I wanna buy a car! Someone who has a vast knowledge about cars talk to me, please??

and so,

a new week begins, lets see what's in store.

Phil 4:13

2010-07-15T13:05:00.000+08:00

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthen me. I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me.

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!!!!!!

By God's grace, I WILL PASS THAT DRIVING TEST.

Is it suppose to rain in the summer?

2010-07-11T05:42:00.000+08:00

So... I think I've practically wasted this whole week. But... I'm totally entitled to do that because I have no class!!!! Hehe. And well, it wasn't completely wasted, I went to work Tues-Sat. Monday was a holiday. I also had practice at church on Wednesday night, I play the keyboard. :) But other than that, I spent the rest of the time either watching TV, fixing my meals, sleeping, going to the toilet, checking my mail, Facebooking, Plurking, AND watching.....

teehee ;)

I get addicted easily. And once I start, I need to finish it. 5 seasons, in 6 days. :D Yeah, I have a lot of free time. xD I also accomplished another thing! I finally made time to scan the photos I shot & developed during my photography class last spring. You can view them here!

On another note, do you know I haven't cut my hair since I came here last august? My hair's disgusting. Yet, I don't want to cut it myself. I'm totally getting a haircut once I pass my driving test, which, I'm hoping to take next week. So yeah, I guess that's be the productive thing I'll be doing next week. But for now, I'm gonna enjoy the weekend. Hope it goes well for you too! :)

PS: I have this sudden urge to go shopping. ;)
PPS: I need a car. Oh wait, I have to pass the test first. ARGH, darnnit.

now we're talkin' summer

2010-07-03T12:05:00.000+08:00

I'm am officially free from summer classes!!!!! :D Now I can have fun and enjoy the rest of the 2 months I have off. :) I have a whole list of things to do. Hehe, which includes getting my driver's license. Hopefully I pass this time. *crosses fingers* Hmm, I seem to be at a lost of words to say. xD oh well, I'll write again when I have something more interesting. ^^

YAY for not having anymore summer classes!!!!!

I thought it was summer break...

2010-06-22T11:30:00.002+08:00

I just want to say that I'm so, so, so, so, very, extremely, incredibly tired of studying.

sigh

My grades aren't doing that well either, I see my A's going down the drain. :(

double sigh

Okay, I need to get back to studying, of course.

triple sigh

Another Macro test tomorrow.

Hurrah for only 5 more class days.

It can't come soon enough.

Really Random

2010-06-19T12:18:00.000+08:00

I need to start taking photos again!!

Be prepared!!

Have a good weekend people

;)

2010-06-17T10:31:00.000+08:00

Before I start my story, you should know that my uni's campus is invaded my a whole bunch of high school kids having Super Summer Camp. They're EVERYWHERE. xD So today I got off work and was walking back to the apartment, where I stay and his camper was running behind me. I think he was chasing his friends or something. =/ Anyway, he said hi, and I said hi. It was kinda odd cause usually they mind their own business and I'll mind my own. Haha, and then he goes on to ask me

"Do you teach here in this school?"

To which I replied "No, I study here." *amused look*

He chased after his friends after that. AHAHAHA, it was funny, and a little odd tho. Do I look that old? =/ I was make-up less, hair in a pony tail, with my glasses on, wearing church's 25th anniversary polo tee, jeans, flip flops, and my HSU sackpack slung over my shoulders. Not typical teacher outfit right? XP Oh wells, just thought I'd amuse you today with this story. ^^
On the other hand, I wanna change my blogskin, better yet, I wanna learn how to create my own. Someone teach me! Must go learn once my classes are over, or at least try to learn. :D
Also, I'm starting on this book entitled I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. He wrote it when he felt that God was saying it wasn't time to get married. He's married now tho and he has another book boy meets girl. My friend lent me her copy the other day and it's a really good book. It was enjoyable and I learned so much from it. This one deals more with when a couple is in courtship. Yes, it's about courtship, not dating. xD Going into a relationship with the intention of marriage, and it's perfectly fine if it doesn't work out. It still is a successful courtship because you have the joy of knowing that that particular person is not who you should be with. Anyways, I really liked it and so bought his first book. You should buy it and give it a read, or just ask me and I'll lend it to you. :) Needless to say, I won't be in the dating game from now on. ^^
Okies, I need to get back to studying. Till my next post!

PS: HOW did Spain lose? *the horror*
PPS: I got a 95 for my Macroecons test! Thank God :))

Random Plurk conversations.

2010-06-15T06:00:00.000+08:00

I love Plurk, to the extent that I wanna blog about it.

actually, I'm just finding an excuse not to study. X)

If you don't know what Plurk is, scroll down and it's that widget you see at my sidebar. The white one :) It's like Twitter, but more fun. Well, for my friends and me that is. It's kinda like FB statuses too, but on Plurk people won't think you're crazy for updating numerous times a day, cause on Plurk, you can say you're raising karma. You'd have to join Plurk if you're wondering what I'm talking about. ^^ and if you're back home, miss me SO much, then Plurk is the best way to know what I'm up to. Megan, Howie and I were having so much fun chatting about really random stuff, I hated that I had to go for class. But it was time for Howie to sleep anyways. :P

Okay well, enough about that. Last week, was a crazy week, with 2 tests and a paper due. It was ridiculous, and I didn't do too well on the test either > < Oh wells, I'm just glad that's over with, but I'll be so very very glad when this month's over. Apparently, sleeping 16 hours a day and staying awake for only 8 hours is super cool. Totally gonna try that one day. HAHA.

I'm gonna try to blog more often, hopefully. If time permits, and if I have stuff to blog about. Nothing much is really happening this summer. =/ OH, there is the World Cup tho. ^^ I'm going England all the way!! Yay Gerrard for scoring, it's unfortunate that they drew tho. Hope they win the next match!

So, which country are YOU supporting??

Check out my Plurk badge! XD

It's getting so hot, I can see the sandal marks on my feet.

2010-06-06T01:09:00.000+08:00

Summer's here, summer's here! I'm getting darker, I can feel it. Oh well, I like the sun! :) I think I need an umbrella tho, for when I'm walking around and all, since it's so hot. Haha. Anyways, I'm still on summer classes. I'm taking Business Law and Macroeconomics. Super tiring, but it's only for a month, then it'll be freedom! There's so much to do before that though. So many things to do, so little time. Needless to say, I'm almost constantly worrying, and then yesterday, I stumbled upon Phil 4:6 "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done." (NLT) It kinda made me go wow for a moment. I guess I need to get down on my knees and pray more often. :) Wells, that's about all I wanted to write for today. I have to go to work soon. Remember to pray always! Something, I have to learn too.

Night Lights :)

2010-05-15T12:31:00.002+08:00

I like this photo because the fireworks were spectacular that night. It made me happy.

And then, it was back to reality.

it's 3.13pm

2010-05-15T04:13:00.000+08:00

Today, I feel like blogging. Usually I do so because I feel obligated. But today, I feel like blogging, although I don't even have anything interesting to write about. Hmm... I wanna post photos. I need to add some color to my blog. Thing is, I'm kinda lazy to go edit them. xD But don't worry, I'll get them done soon. I'm suppose to scan my printed photos I took during class too. Maybe I'll do them this weekend if I can find a scanner...

May term started last Tuesday. I'm taking Survey of American Film. It's suppose to be an easy class, but I think the professor's going to make it difficult. Worst thing is that he's kinda monotonous, and a lecture can last all the way to 3 long hours. And he emphasizes on note taking, therefore, I'm writing down copious amount of notes. But, it shouldn't be too bad, I hope. We watched some documentary on Edison the first lesson, and we watch a really old movie the second class day. We have a write 2 five page critiques on two different movies. Sigh, why so many pages? Oh well, I have 6 more days till the first one's due. Better start on it this weekend.

I feel like there's a whole bunch of stuff to do. I also need to go practice driving. I need to pass my next round, or I think I'll go jump off a building. Hah. Just kidding, but really. xD I get stressed out just thinking about it. Sien, very sien. I wanna do so many things but I can't just seem to find the time to. And well sometimes I'm just too lazy to do anything and I just laze in bed. ;) But that's what the summer is for, right? I wish I'm not taking summer classes.

one and a half

2010-05-09T14:48:00.000+08:00

And so another semester ends. I know I haven't been blogging, but I have been so so busy the past few weeks. Finals ended last wedsnesday, spent the rest of the day relaxing a little and packing. Worked Thursday morning, went for driving test in the afternoon, which I unfortunately failed because I hit the curb while parallel parking. :( Friday morning, went back for driving test and failed again. I got pass the parking, but apparently the lady said I needed more practice on the road. =.= I think she was too strict though, and I guess I was all too jittery to drive properly too. SIGH. I really don't want to go back again. So mafan laa. :(
Well anyways, we watched Iron Man 2 that afternoon, it was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Probably wouldn't watch it again though. :) And I spent the rest of the day packing and packing and shifting and unpacking. I never knew I had accumulated SO much stuff. It's ridiculous. I spent the second part Saturday unpacking too. I was worn out I tell you. My poor arms, are aching. So so tired. And best part, I'm going to be moving again in about 3 weeks. Oh joy. xD I'm currently now in Hunter Hall, where we stay for the May semester and the summer. I'll be moving in 3 weeks because I'll be moving into the apartment with some friends. It's cheaper that way and it's free for May that's why I'm here now. I'm really upset that it has sucky internet connection though. The wireless isn't strong enough. Oh, I'm also rooming with Caryn. It feels kinda odd though. Considering I've been having a single room for the past year. I'm used to my privacy. xD
I think I'm suppose to post photos. I'll do them soon, hopefully. I kinda just wanna relax and not do anything right now. Too bad classes start again on Tuesday. I think I'm going to bed now. Still a little tired although I had close to a 2 hour nap 3 hours ago. ;)

I don't like crazy weather

2010-04-14T01:43:00.000+08:00

This morning, I looked out the window,

and the weather was warm and sunny.

Later on, I walked out my dorm,

and the weather turned dark and gloomy.

I really hope it doesn't rain today.

It's only Tuesday and I feel like I've done so much, and yet, there's still more to come. That's college life, I suppose. It's gonna be a busy, busy week. I kinda just wanna crawl into bed and sleep, sleep, sleep. ^^

Oh, I registered for my classes for the Summer and Fall. My second year's half way complete. So fast. Am going to be taking 4 business classes and a science. Expecting a heavier work load =/ ah, the perks of college. :)

I somehow managed to get myself hit by the softball during the game yesterday. >.< Slightly above the left knee, more painful than the previous bruise. :( I'm glad I get off work in 15 mins.

of softball and it's bruises

2010-04-09T01:07:00.001+08:00

I've been meaning to blog, really, I have. But time doesn't permit me to do so... And of course, not forgetting the distraction that is Facebook. Argh, I think I need to go on a Facebook fast, cleanse my soul. xDD

Anyways, I've been doing good, if you're wondering. Approximately, 4 more weeks of school left? Gosh, so darned fast! I'll be here the whole summer though. No going home for me this year. :( Ah well, I'll be having summer classes, so that should keep me busy.

Oh, I need to show you my bruise! Hahah, I'm so proud of it. xD Also managed to score one on the head, it was massive. Really. Got it during softball practice. A few of us international students and some Americans put together a softball team for intramurals. X It's where the students form teams and we compete against each other. I must say, softball is a dangerous, dangerous game. The ball is super hard, contrary to it's name softball. (That's how I obtained my bruises) But it's not that bad once you get used to the rules and all. Takes a while to be good at it though. And especially since we have not played the game before, it's more difficult for us. Hence, it's no surprise that we've lost all 3 games that we've played so far. We ARE getting better though! From not scoring the 1st game, to getting 1 point the 2nd game and for the 3rd game, we got 3 points!! Plus we didn't lose that badly. So, it's all good. :)

It's spring! :D I love going out and not need to wear a jacket. There are some chilly days tho. But way better than the bitter winter cold. Sigh, I miss the consistency of Malaysian weather.

My bruise:

Scary huh? No worries, it's practically healed now. On a random note, super cute guy with cat! Well, the cat's not important la actually. Hehehe. ;) Was bored at work and found it at this site Amely plurked about. :D

AHHHHH! :)

spring break twenty ten

2010-03-19T12:09:00.000+08:00

It's already the 4th day of spring break. It's ending wayyy to quickly!!! :( Oh wells, it was fun! Meg and Ash came over :) We're watching lots of tv, cooking, hanging out... Hmm, not in the mood to blog for some reason. I do wanna change my blog layout tho, or maybe add a header. I dunno. Someone help me! :D
Took some photos at the rattlesnake roundup. Will post them up soon! Happy-the-rest-of your- Holidays!! :)

Counting the Days.

2010-03-08T12:52:00.000+08:00

1 more week to hanging out with friends, staying up watching TV, sleeping at ungodly hours, relaxing, NOT thinking of school work, cooking delicious food, and fun, fun, fun.

1 more week, just 1 more week to

spring break.

I.can't.wait.

I am about to go for photography class

2010-03-02T07:36:00.000+08:00

So, we wanted to have ramen and hot chocolate yesterday at the gazebo by the pond but it started raining. FAIL. :( but we ended up having a "picnic" at moody center. haha. It was fun! Anyway, my point is that it rained the whole yesterday night, and the whole of this morning, and I think half the afternoon. T.T SO depressing. sigh. And the fact that it's super cold and windy doesn't help. I think it stopped raining for now. Thank God. Really hope it doesn't start raining again. OH, and is someone willing to give me a nice pair of boots? :D my shoes get wet walking in the rain. xD or, an umbrella would work too I guess. hehehe. ok, gtg for class now!

I is happy with my developed photos! :)))

This weekend...

2010-03-01T14:23:00.000+08:00

I had lots of fun playing Capt ball, although I suffered some minor injuries.

I was called deprived for not having watched or heard of the movie Gremlin before.

I watch Gremlin after being called deprived and think it's an evil eighties movies.

I found the school play Once Upon A Mattress funny and entertaining. It's based on the story The Princess & the Pea.

I watched a very very "interesting" movie with Yen Ting, Grace and Caryn at their apartment. We had fun though.

I had a good church service, with lunch after that.

I had an odd yet entertaining conversation about circuses and monkeys.

I ate ramen and drank hot chocolate with a group of friends on the floor of Moody Center.

I have a blast playing Catch Phrase with the same group of friends after having our ramen.

I found out I got 92.5 for my marketing test!! :)

But now the weekend's over and here we go again... Hope you all have a great week ahead! :D

snow snow go away.

2010-02-23T22:59:00.000+08:00

WHY does it always snow on the wrong day??? It's been snowing on Tuesdays and Thursdays the past couple of weeks, on the days where I have only ONE class. An easy class furthermore. PLUS, I work Tues and Thurs mornings and because of the snow, everything's closed, and therefore no work= no money. That upsets me. ;) It should've totally snowed on a Wednesday instead, because, I have a test tmr. A really difficult test. And guess what, the weather forecast says it'll be nice and sunny tmr. A perfect day, to take a test that it. Sigh. I guess everything happens for a reason, I guess now I'll have the whole day to study for that really difficult I'll be taking on a sunny day tmr. Oh wells, better make the most of it, off to studying!

A day in the snow

2010-02-21T07:21:00.000+08:00

Here are the photos I promised to post up! :)

Snow

and more snow!

That's how deep it was!

See the giant snowball??

That's what we did!

The guys built like a GIANT snowman

And this poor snowman died.. :(

I have a snow ball!! :)

Today, I learn that photoshop is amazing. :)

triple celebration!

2010-02-14T13:56:00.000+08:00

Oh wait, I mean,

double celebration.

because I don't celebrate V-day! ngahahaha.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

and

BLESSED BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BROTHER!!! :D :D

This week has been super, super, super busy. So many things to do. BUT, it was a good week, and VERY glad it's the weekend. I'm sorry we don't have CNY break tho. =/ Well, we at least the ISF(International Student Fellowship) had a CNY food festival! I attempted sweet and sour pork. Spent close to 5 hours cooking. SO.MUCH.WORK, SO.MUCH. PORK. SO TIRING. I don't think I ever wanna mass cook again. o.o Oh, and it didn't turn out as expected. Too much meat, too little sauce. >.< oh wells. The food fest was fun anyways. :D

It snowed on Thursday!!! :) T'was very very pretty!! Classes were also canceled that day. Double yay. Worked 2 hours in the morning and played in the snow after!! Some of the guys made this GIANT snow man. I'll post pix sometime. We had about 2-3 inches. Exciting. It melted the next day tho. Which is fine by me. I like the occasional snow days, but he sun's my best friend, I LOVE warm sunny days. It makes me happy :)

Well, it's been a tiring day, so it's bed time for me! I'll post some pix up soon. :) I do have a test next week tho, but we'll see how it goes. Till then, stay safe, eat lots of cookies for me, collect some ang pows for me also can, and happy V-day for those who celebrate it! As for me, I'll be celebrating single awareness day. ;) Once again,

HAPPY 17TH BABY BROTHER!

Rainy days makes me depressed...

2010-02-10T14:54:00.000+08:00

So, my goal of blogging more often isn't happening. Too many other things to do, but I'm trying!!

A few of us made a one day trip to Dallas last Saturday, it was pretty fun. It was mainly a food trip, which rocked! We had dim sum in the morning, Asian and Indian Market after that, and Indian food for dinner! The Indian restaurant reminded me of mamak and makes me wanna go home. >.< But overall, it was a great time to get away from school work and all, and just chill. :) Didn't take many photos though. Might post some dim sum one's up.
Well, it's Wednesday already, the middle of the week. Still have tons to do though. I think I've been slacking in my studies. T.T Time to stop Island Paradising?? xDD I guess it's all about time management, and working hard. Sigh. So many things to do, so little time...

breathing

2010-01-31T06:44:00.000+08:00

Today is a very nice Saturday and I'm spending it indoors working at the library; 1-5pm. It's super quiet. *crickets chirp* Anyway, I'm glad I've done my work for the day, can go enjoy myself tonight! :) Spring semester has been pretty busy so far. Trying to get involved in various activities, hanging out with friends, and of course ~~facebook~~ studying takes up most of my time, I hardly have time for anything else. In my opinion, it's all about time management. I'd like to think that I can manage my time fairly well, but I need to do better and set my priorities straight!! Everything's happening so fast, I need to take a breather. Also, I think I'm thinking too much xD
Hmm, I don't know what's the point of this post. I guess I'm just passing the time. About 20 more minutes till I get off work. On another note, it's freezing over here. It rained on Thursday. I don't like it when it rains here. Abilene does not have a good drainage system and it floods. LoL. Also, anyone willing to donate an umbrella and a pair of boots?? :D Thank goodness it's sunny today. Don't think I can stand another gloomy, windy, freezing cold day.

I've lost the joy of writing and editing photos. I need to find it back!

the week in Keller

2010-01-25T06:39:00.000+08:00

Hello!

Today is Sunday and I'm FINALLY making time to blog. Haha. I realize I have been neglecting my dear blog, but I shall put more effort into reviving it!! I just get caught up with everything going on in uni, but I really miss writing, so expect more posts on a regular basis. *crosses fingers*

Anyways, this will be a picture post on my Aunt's house. Juin and I went there over New Year's. We spent a week there and we did lots of shopping! I love shopping over here in US. upon entering the store, head straight for the clearance rack. I found so many good deals there. And especially since its after Christmas and New Years and all, they even had sales on the clearance items. How cools is that?? I bought a few tops for like 2 dollars. Happiness. ^^

On to the pix!

Kitchen!

they have a pool table, which is actually pretty common here. o.o

Top view of the living room

Gym!

Backyard, with a swimming pool.

Chewy the dog! He's hyper I tell you.

Their movie room!!!!

With EIGHT recliner chairs

LOTR Poster xD

Guess what I found in the Asian market??

DURIAN!

and

LOL!!

More updates soon :)

me thinks

2010-01-11T14:31:00.002+08:00

classes should not resume tmr.

I.don't.want.to.study.period

and classes resume...

2010-01-07T06:43:00.001+08:00

Realization has finally sunk. I'm going back to classes this coming monday.

*the HORROR*

Two of my professors posted the course syllabus online and I was reading them awhile ago. Gosh, my professors sound so strict =[ Like, I'm afraid to go for class now. XP Sigh. Oh well, hope it'll be a great semester nevertheless. *cross fingers* On the other hand, I get to see my friends again! :) I'm gonna go enjoy the rest of the holiday.

δΤΞΡ Ή ΤΣΟΗ says:

Daddy says:
*When she has finished her marketing and wanted to ride back, she couldn't find the bicycle.
*She had to walk back

δΤΞΡ Ή ΤΣΟΗ says:

Thanksgiving EVERYDAY

2009-11-27T11:48:00.000+08:00

Stephanie is currently in the small city of Taylor, Texas, hometown of her former roommate, Frances. Finally having some internet access now. There wasn't any at Frances' place. It is now the thanksgiving holiday! Frances drove down Weds morning and reached about 3 and a half hours later. It's been crazy. The both of them have been out all day visiting everyone, eating, playing pool, eating... The turkey was so good. :D At Michelle and Paul's place now, watching the football match; Longhorns vs A&M. Longhorns, Frances's team is winning btw. 35-24 at the third quarter.
Stephanie does not have much to say now. It has been a good, tiring day and she can't wait to curl up on her comfy bed. ^^ Tomorrow is black Friday, but they are not that crazy to wake up at 4am just to go shopping. Instead, they may just settle and do some homework, because they have so much to do. Boo hoo hoo. Oh wells, they might go to Austin later on tho, which will be fun. Yay. Also, Steph wants to tell you that it is a cold night and that she does not like to spend her time outdoors. Oh and 1 last thing, she does not know why she is talking in third person, but it is fun, don't you think? ;)

BLESSED, beyond measure...

2009-11-21T14:21:00.000+08:00

Everytime when things are not going right or not going the way I want it, I get so frustrated. But, God always reminds again and again how blessed I am. :) It's these small, little things that make me appreciate Him so much more. I was expecting to stay here in boring Abilene for thanksgiving but I got not one but three invites for thanksgiving. So, I'm gonna be following Frances back to her hometown and experience some American thanksgiving culture! It's gonna be great. Also, Frances and I wanted to go for the I ♥ Revolution movie premier by Hillsong. And because I didn't go for the Jeremy Concert, which was 20 dollars, I think, I decided to go for Hillsong, which was 15 dollars. So, we go, we reach the cinema, and at the entrance was this couple holding a string of ticket and they ask us which movie we were gonna watch. Coincidentally, they bought a whole bunch of tickets and not everyone from their church or something could go and so they gave us 2 tickets, FREE!! Which was great. Who doesn't love free stuff? ^^ Then today, we went for the Lecrae concert! And guess what, I got in FREE too! But I had to work at the table selling merchandise for the first part of the concert. BUT, I didn't miss Lecrae, so, that works for me! I got the watch Lecrae live the whole entire time he was on stage and I got his autograph too!! It was amazing, I had so much fun. :)
Anyways, just wanted to share this with you all, I mean, things might not be going great, and believe me, some things really had me frustrated this week, but always remember to look on the bright side. There has to be something positive going on.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!!

I'm a F-A-N-A-T-I-C, fanatic,

My Poetic Side? If it's even poetic xD

2009-11-16T09:34:00.002+08:00

Steph is staring at this blank page,

Wondering what to write.

I guess you readers are reading,

Waiting for an update.

Well, finally, here it is,

in a "poem" black and white.

Steph had a tiring week,

With 3 tests and a paper.

Working so arduously,

She didn't have time to blog.

Yet, she survived the long week,

With nothing but a flu.

Steph had a fun-filled weekend,

Hanging out with her friends.

There was Ethnos and Java,

And dressing up just for fun.

But now it is Sunday,

And the homework starts again.

If you were wondering... it's just a slight flu. :)

FALL BREAK BABEYY!

2009-10-24T13:18:00.002+08:00

Wheee~~
Just a quick random post for now ^^
It's fall break!!!
Slept at 3 and woke up today at 11.
How awesome.
Hehehhehe :D
Spent the rest of the time chillin'
Mostly watching movies, we're gonna start the 3rd one soon.
Its 12.20am now and we're about to start the horror movie. I've watched it before tho.
I'm guessing we'll be sleeping late again.
YAY
I'm loving my fall break.
That's all I have to say.
Have a great weekend ppl!

Justice is what LOVE looks like in public

2009-10-07T00:03:00.001+08:00

I'll let youtube do the talking for me today. :) Do watch them all. Ok?

It's just the trailer, but the university played the whole movie for us today. Also, we had the director of Call+Response, Justin Dillon, come in for Chapel in the morning. It's really eye opening. Don't you think?

Here are a few more videos for you all.

Here are some links to find out more:

Who knew our world could be so corrupted. If you feel compelled to do something about it, go ahead, but the main purpose of this post is to open your eyes and see that there is so much more out there that is happening in the world. It just makes our problems seem so insignificant. It's just something for all of us to think about. The least we can do is pray. Have a good day everyone! :)

quickie!

2009-10-01T21:36:00.000+08:00

So yeah, I know I haven't updated in a while. Been kinda busy, with school work and different activities. Anyways, it's october already! It's getting colder here as well. Me no like it when it is cold. xD Anyways, it's gonna be an interesting weekend. The ISF are going to the Whitmore Ranch to spend 1 night. We'll be having smores and bbq. :D Also, UMHB will be playing HSU on saturday. UMHB vs HSU rivalry isn't a new thing so the game should be INTENSE.
Yesterday was Archie's b'day! We went to Bonzai to celebrate. It's a Jap restaurant with very good sushi. Please don't compare with Sushi King, cause the sushi there kinda sucks compared with Bonzai's. ^^ Alexis and I were really upset they didn't have soba tho. That would taste so good right now. Hmm, I should go see if they have soba in wal mart.
Anyways, I'm really glad it's Friday tmr!! And I only have 2 classes! Whoopdedo. :D Though I had to do a writing to make up for not having class. Oh well. So, I end class at 10.50 and I'm free after that! For now, I think Juin's gonna have a 1 on 1 bbal match with Nick. Some dude who's friends with Shawn. Oh, Juin just called. Going now. Tata and have a good weekend!! :)

Because September is the best month!

2009-09-14T19:21:00.000+08:00

.Thursday.

Well, if you're still in blur land, let me tell you that I celebrated my 18th birthday last Thursday. :) For my first away from home, I guess it wasn't so bad. Other than the fact that I had my Psych test in the morning, and I had to prepare for my in-class essay due the next day. Anyways, I woke up guess what? I started studying for Psych. Upon hearing a knock on my door, I opened it and found my "Happy Birthday!" balloon outside with a pack of Kit Kat and a card. My wonderful roomie from last semester gave them to me. *Awhhh* It was really great of her. I love my helium balloon! After that was the test, then lunch at the caf, where Juin, Lynssi, Alexis, Amanda and Sunil sang me Happy B'day. Good thing there weren't that many people left in the caf. Hehe. I had class after that until 2.35pm and I spend the rest of the afternoon planning my essay. I was in no mood to study, honestly. ;) Coincidentally, Lange Hall was hosting a Skate Night, so we went for that. It was fun. I haven't skated in ages. Too bad they didn't have roller blades though. That would've SO much better, and not to mention, cooler. :D We also had some free pizza. Yumm.

.Friday.
Went for classes as usual, couldn't wait for them to be over. Then Frances, roomie from last sem, took Juin and me to Fuji's for lunch. It's like Chinese food, and it was GOOD. Compared to the caf la, that is. We wanted to go swimming in the afternoon, but it rained. Booo. :( We went to the Greens for dinner, as usual, and got to go get dessert first. :D Chilled out at Moody after the Greens. Laughed so hard while playing ping pong. xD

.Saturday.
Still raining... Had lunch with Lynssi and Juin! Cheap and good Mexican food, and shopping at Hastings after that. I like Hastings. ;) Watched 10 mins of the soccer game in the rain, and to then to the Presley's for dinner. They sang happy birthday. xD Choc cake and ice cream for dessert. Am I making your mouth water?

.Sunday.
Still raining btw.. Church at Beltway, lunch at the caf, and studying for Microecons test on lunch. Library, and dinner at Little Panda. Came back, studied somemore, then Skyped with Amely! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOMAN!!! :D

.Monday.
9am, Microecons test. I got a 92 if you were wondering. *beams* More classes, learned how to alienate friends with Boolean expressions, lunch at the caf, went to check mail and there was something for me!! My card arrived!! Was so excited. Hehehe, I LOVE it!! And the bookmarks too!! Thank you mom and dad! And the rest of the family. :D

It's still monday now. And I absolutely LOVE today Because it stopped raining!! Like, finally! I really like the weather today. It's kinda like Cameron Highlands. :) Going to Lynssi's house for movie with the others soon. Entertain yourselves with some of my b'day piccas!

2 weeks DOWN

2009-08-29T10:32:00.000+08:00

I want to say that I am so very glad that the 1st week of school is over. Assignments are piling up, of course, but I should be able to cope? Other than that, school is okay. Juin and I are trying out various school activities. So that's pretty fun. It's saturday morning now, and I'm hungry, waiting for my eggs to cook. The ISF is having a movie night later, watching Madagascar 2. Not a big fan of the show, honestly, but oh well. It'll still be fun. Maybe I'll post some pix on FB.

OhanA ^^

Check the site out if you have the time. Credits to HZ and HY for the idea and making it happen. =D It won't die right??

My eggs are taking a long time to cook. Oh well, did I tell you that BBT rocks? No? Well, it DOES!!

Have a great weekend people. (:

:(

2009-08-23T11:45:00.000+08:00

Boo hoo hoo,
School starts soon.

SIGH

and it starts again..

2009-08-17T22:05:00.000+08:00

I think the 3 months of summer passed way way too quickly. I'm already back in Abilene btw. Still in the midst of unpacking. I like my room, it's a single rooom, ex-roommate opposite me. Gonna have some fun and crazy times, i hope. =) Georgie and Shawn arrive tmr! Juin's here too! Them being here will certainly help with being homesick. Adriel said the first few days are the hardest, being away from your family and friends after being with them for so long. Though it may be my second time, I felt like I did the first time I came. I suppose the difference is that I'll probably get over it more quickly, considering the friendships I've already established. But, I'm still really missing all of you back home. I feel like taking the next flight back home. Hahaa.
Anyways, orientation starts tmr, and it'll be full schedule from then I guess. They say it's really tiring, but loads of fun. And after that, classes begin, and its back to school. Sigh, after not studying for 3 months, starting again seems like such a drag. I really need to get my engine starting again. LoL.

Okay, I dunno what else to say already. I'm chatting online now with some of them who are sending GG and Shawn off. I gotta go get some b'fast. Till my next update!

I keep thinking

2009-08-06T23:14:00.002+08:00

Summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending, summer isn't ending...

but unfortunately,

it is

:(

Introducing..

2009-07-22T15:58:00.003+08:00

This pic is for Hao Yi and Amely.

This is how my paper clip/ calculator looks like. I think its cute. xD

On another note, work is boring =P

summer's ending already?

2009-07-17T11:20:00.001+08:00

Please excuse my previous post. I wanted to post something and I was in some sort of random mode. I didn't really know what to write about and I remembered what Hao Yi said that day. Hence my post. ;)

Anyway...

I PASSED MY DRIVING EXAM!!!!!

Thank God :)

I only have about a month to drive around here and then it'll be back to the big USA. Time passes way way too fast. I don't think I'm quite ready to go back yet. There's still so much to do here! xD

Well, so far there's nothing new.m Still working at dad's office. Might be going to Bukit Jalil later, I'll take pics and post them if I do go. Oh and anyone wanna watch Harry Potter tell me k? I plan then we go!! And who knows, maybe I'll drive there ;)

According to Hao Yi..
