Chicago Trip Pics

Chicago Trip

!!!! I'M BACK!!!!

Chicago was fun!I miss it already...


DAY 1

We left campus on Tuesday evening at 8pm. We spent the entire morning packing and cleaning stuffs in our room..By we, I meant Eugene and I actually..I packed mine the night before, but I had to wait till I did my laundry that morning so that I would have enough clothes to bring along. Anyways, we were so focused in packing and tiding ourselves, we forgot to eat dinner! haha..when we realized that, all the cafeteria were closed, so, we stopped by Quiznos. Then, up to the bus and sit for 12 hours! Ok, so, we had several stops at McDs

Day 2:

Greeted by the sound of traffic and sirens. Oh, I missed those noises..it was raining..First stop was the Field Museum..it was awesome! It was big and nice..it had a lot of stuff..I kinda learnt stuff and realized there were similarities in our culture and other countries' as well..things that they used in the past, onaments etc..later, back to hotel for some free time. We stayed at the Inn of Chicago@ Millenium Mile. It was like in the middle of downtown area..everything was happening around us. Hyeona and I were overwhelmed by just being in the city, so we decided to go for a walk..and we actually walked really far and as if it wasn't cold enough, it was raining! *shivers* Dinner @ the Cheesecake factory *yummy..i miss the cheesecake already* and then up up up to Handcock Observatory..the view would make you speechless..I wonder what it would be like to bungy jump from there, and everyone else thought I was insane..kaka..94th floor would really get your adreline pumping..

Day 3:

Guess what I saw the first thing I woke up? SNOW!!! *JUMPS EXCITINGLY* I really got excited and started jumping on the bed like a kid.. *malunya* even though it was just a little, it definitely made my day! ^_^ Ok, so, we went to Museum of Science and Industry..definitely encourage you to check it out if you''re in Chicago..It's a little kiddy if you're all mature and boring..but go with an open mind..I know I enjoyed..later, more walking around the city before our FREE Thanksgiving Dinner..we had a traditional meal. =) then, back to hotel, jalan a little more with my RA,Oscar and Eugene before heading back to hotel, shower and study..

Day 4:

A little sunshine,but windy. Everyone I knew went shopping since it was Black Friday and it was having sale everywhere. I didn't go because my friend ditched me. But then, I got to eat Chicago hotdog & corn dog at a vendor (..not like de stalls we have back home also..it's a building.. ^_^" wonder why they say vendor..hmm..) everyone else missed it! it was really different than the ones we have in AR. Ok, so we went to the Aquarium and Planeterium. Aquarium is a MUST GO if you're there..but planeterium was a little too kiddy for me..so, u figure la..I saw so many different sea creatures, some that exists in Malaysia wei..ok ok..then, we (Me, Diego, Eugene and Hyeona) took the subway to the new Chinatown for some good food! Well, we were suppose to meet Hyeona's friends there for dinner but we got there earlier. So, more walking..we had hot milk tea at a chinese bakery shop and I got to watch Chinese drama series there too! The people there just kept staring at me while I was watching tv and trying to translate some stuff..Ok, so, I know I don't exactly look Chinese-y but I'm still Chinese ok? Just because my ancestors have mixed before doesn't make me non-chinese.. =p it was just hilarious coz' I kinda expected people to stare at me weirdly..when I spoke in chinese, that shocked most people who didn't know me.. XD Ok, chinese food was just........GOOD......oh, and something happen while we were having dinner. You know there are dry chili in Kung Po Chicken right? I was just chewing the chilis like normal snacks..and I showed it to Diego and he actually did the same as I did, except that his was a tiny one and mine was a huge one. Omg..his face turned so red and he kept drinking water after he couldn't tahan the spiciness..and I was still eating..it was just so funny but then I felt kinda bad because he did it just because I did..what he doesn't know is that I LOVE spicy food and I'm used to eating chili like that.. It was just a priceless day..later, we went out again to malls at Northside of Chicago..and they had BodyShop..man, I was so happy..it's cheaper than KL as well! got me some lotion..

Day 5:

Cold and windy. Woke up and showered and packed everything to put in the bus. Headed to Planeterium for a group picture! then Millenium Park for more pictures and it was free time again. This time, I was mad at Hyeona for being bossy and selfish for the past few days. I was being very patient until she messed up my hair. That time, I really lost it at her. That definitely told her to stop bossing me around..and she's a bad sleeper! I didn't sleep well at all for those few nights. That's probably why I was a little cranky before she started being bossy. Ok, so after all these, we went to the theatre to get Eugene and Hyeona their broadway tickets. I didn't wanna go because i wanted to save money and I wanted to see more of the city. I could always watch the broadway in KL as well. So, no big deal. Then, we went to eat the Famous Chicago Pizza which was just delicious. I miss that pizza. Eugene and Hyeona ate in 5 minutes as they had to catch their show. So, that left me and Diego. So, we went for a walk at the Millenium Park and around The Loop. We even got to see the financial side of the city, the Christmas Fest in the middle of The Loop. Then, public library, bookstores, and several other places. By the time the girls finished their show, we were tired from our long day of exploring the city. It was awesome! then, I took Eugene to get her boots at several shops Diego and I saw around the city and she did! glad she was happy..but Hyeona was just being selfish and gloomy as usual. No idea what was on her mind..probably because we didn't do what she wanted--> go to Navy Pier again for pictures..but anyhow, I'm glad we did what we wanted instead of being bossed around for that day.

7.30pm:

Board our bus and head back to Fayetteville. I was tired, did a little studying on the bus, some chatting and then doze off..we had several stops and before I knew it.I was back in Fayetteville. It was so freaking cold yesterday, and the heater wasn't turn on yet..and no food on campus..so I had instant noodles *thanks to Diego*, watched tv, do hw, talked to my family and then hang out with Diego and Matt..

*Day ends..holiday ends and now it's time to study for my finals next week..Wish me luck y'all..

Enjoy my pictures!

I'm gonna miss you, Chicago..

I AM WHO I AM


Sorry about the last post..I just re-read it and it does sound I was extremely irritated by my friends..oh, btw, I'm gonna write this next sentence in BM in case of salah satu daripada kawan-kawan aku di sini membaca dan tahu bahawa aku sedang merujuk kepada mereka...based on my last post, salah satu gadis yg aku cakap tu adalah gadis dalam gambar-gambar berikut..tiba-tiba, dia telefon aku dan datang ke hostel kita untuk melepak pada malam sabtu itu, tapi tujuan utamanya, rasanya bukan itu saja, tapi berkaitan dengam lelaki dalam gambar tu..malam berikutnya, gadis tu datang ke bilikku selepas makan malam dengan lelaki itu. Lelaki itu terus menonton tv tapi, tiba-tiba, gadis itu merujuk semua gadis baik sebagai 'perempuan murahan' sambil merenung ke arah aku..entahlah dia sedang merujuk kepada aku atau siapalah..I'm so gonna try find out what's exactly what she's up to and if she's on to something about me..well, let's just say she will just regret messing with me..I mean, kalau dia suka kat lelaki itu, beritahulah lelaki itu..tak de kaitan ngan aku langsung pun..y making all these trouble involving me..keep me out of the picture/problem..




oh, my life is so filled with drama that I could make a reality show with it right now..haha..and I'm enjoying every moment of it.. =p




....MOVING ON....




So, what do college students do during the weekends, when most people go home for the weekend..we, international students......watch movie on laptop and pose for the camera..haha..sorry that I look horrible coz' I was getting tired when Eugene started taking pictures of us at 2.30am..we were watching youtube actually that time..kaka






DIEGO, ME, EUGENE
ME & EUGENE




DIEGO POSING..I was on youtube.com.. XD

*frustration*

Is it that hard to really get noticed for being who you really are deep down? Must one be beautiful, tall, slim, loud or abnobxious to be noticed? I don't know why all these are coming thru my mind right now..It's hard to decided what I'm feeling is just temporary or is it really what I feel.

WARNING: IF YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR ME COMPLAIN, IT'S A GOOD TIME TO CLOSE THIS WEBPAGE NOW..COZ' I NEED TO GET SOMETHINGS OFF MY CHEST..

Why is it always ok for pretty girls to flirt around even though they have bfs already? Why does physical appearance the only thing that really matter to people? Why can't people look pass the appearance before deciding who to befriend with? Why am I always labeled as 'cute, small, sweet and harmless sherrie'? Why do girls who are extremely gerdik get all the attention around here? I mean, not just with guys, but with some girls as well..put on some make up and wear mini skirts in freezing cold weather, and ta-dah..your leng lui..and even though she has a bf and yet meng-gerdik, she still manage to fool people into believing she's single and available? Why do people believe them instead of looking pass all these covers? Why Why Why??? Is life just about the appearance? If so, I'll never make it in this world..coz' I don't wear make up..coz' I don't do things to please people..coz' I love being myself and I believe in just being who I am..coz' I don't really care what people think of me..coz...If this life is just about appearance, I know, I will end up just being surrounded by "friends" who will cabut when they see someone else come along their way..I will be surrounded by "friends" who will hang out with when their dates are busy..

!!!!!!!!!!!ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds depressing wei..I'm gonna stop here, take a shower and try get things off my mind and do some work.....
P.S. If you haven't notice, I'm talking about someone I know, not just a bizzare figure..and I can't say who coz' it'll offend someone..so, ya, go figure..

*cheers*



I'm happy!!! My lil's sis just emailed me about her test scores and she managed to maintain her standard even without me by her side.. =p Not that she's independent, but more on the stress from me and the teachers I know who are looking out for her. At least now I know she'll still be in the first class, and taking tuition under Mdm Wee, I can finally take off the burden of worrying for her studies..I know it would be stressful for her to be in that class, but hey! if I survived it, she can right? she's my lil sister..so, sherill, if you read this..there is NO excuse for you not doing well ya? =p

Kahwin Lagi ya?

Firstly, I apologize to those who can't understand Malay..but I just can't help posting this..it's hilarious!! XD so much for nak kahwin lagi..

Suami : Lelaki kawin 3 baru lah sah
Isteri : Kenapa pula?
Suami : Cuba terjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Inggeris, "satu" is one, "dua" is two, "tiga" isteri
(is three). Baru betul dan sah!
Isteri : Tapi abang kena faham Bahasa Inggeris, terutama tentang "singular" dan "plural"
Suami : Berkenaan apa tu?
Isteri : Satu tu "Singular"; dua atau lebih "Plural"
Suami : Contohnya?
Isteri : One car sebagai singular, two cars sebagai plural. Apa bezanya?
Suami : Ohhh... tambah huruf "s" untuk yang plural
Isteri : Betul tu. Sama juga la untuk abang
Suami : Macam mana pula boleh sama?
Isteri : Satu isteri abang MAMPU, jika dua isteri dah jadi plural, maka abang MAMPUS
tambah "s" je, kan?

Lepas daripada tu, si-suami tidak pernah lagi berceritakan hasratnya untuk berkahwin lagi...

Chicago, here I come ♥



I'd been saying about how much I miss the life in the city all these while..dreams of just being there puts a smile on my face in the morning. The song 'New York New York' by Frank Sinatra explains my dream..waking up to a city that never sleep is something you have to experience to love it..the sound of traffic seem to be distant and missed now..Fayetteville, a quiet uni town, is totally opposite from where I'd grown up in..Somehow, the noises, busy street and people bumping into each other in the subway are things that people think you will not miss..it's just not true to me..I MISS them... so, my dreams are about to come true..how?
I'm going to Chicago during Thanksgiving week!!!

yeah!!!! the housing @ southern part of campus is organizing a trip to Chicago during our 5-days Thanksgiving break..only for $70 and you get to experience the city for a week sounds like a dream come true to me..I feel like I'm so blessed..Thanks, Eugene for calling me the other day! Without you telling me about the trip, I would have to spend 5 days in my room, cooking and watching tv and be bored to death..lol..anyways, there's gonna be a pre-trip meeting tonight at the union ballroom..so, I'll be there filling out forms and stuff like that. But I'm just so excited to be going there..I'll definitely post tons of pictures when I get back..snap snap snap..I just can't wait! ^_^ I mean, look at the picture of Chicago city..who can wait?!? I love the city! till then, I got to get back to my history book..

chicago, I'll be there sooner before I know it..hurray!
