Weekend

Last weekend, we watched 3 movies (2 in a row!)..
This week..just 1..haha..
Anyway, met an old friend at church this week and it was just random..it took me by surprise because it's not everyday we see someone unexpected at church..lol..but what meddles with my mind is how people always look at me when I put on a skirt/ dress/ shorts...anything non-denim..I mean seriously? how different can I look when I'm not in my regular jeans and t-shirts? just a random thought...

oh, last week, I got the best compliment ever..
"I like your accent, it's really cute"
yes, my "cute" accent compliment from a 15yr old..lol
but the thing is, that isn't my entire msian accent..it's the suppressed accent.
After all the mocking and making fun of my accent and pronunciations,
I honestly appreciate it..

UB Week 1

So the kids have left..the hallways are so empty and quiet! this week has been a super long week, it feels as if it's been more than 2 weeks already. maybe it's all the walking under the heat, keeping up with the kids, HPER trips and lack of sleep..as you can tell, I'm worn out. and there's 5 more exciting week! haha..132 kids is hard to keep up with.

This week's been fun so far. We had a birthday bash and dinner on dickson. The birthday bash was awkward for me, since i don't dance. The songs were really loud, which lead to a bad headache. But the kids seemed to had a lot of fun..which was the entire point of the party. Anyway, Jessica's mentor family and mine decided to haed to Blu Fin for dinner. Blu fin on Dickson was expensive! Gladly, I'm not paying it out of my own pocket. =p The sushi was ok (i've had better ones, but not here in Fayetteville), but I think a lot of the girls had a bad culture shock! Some of them were willing to try new food, but others, not so much. Couple of girls were, of course, disgusted by the food..One even claimed that seaweed was fish poop-ing place and miso soup to be weird and disgusting..oh, and yet the best is..tofu is mini french toast bread! It's definitely an eye-opening for some and interesting dinner conversation for me and Jessica..lol..I even had Tamago sushi. Everyone thought it was weird because the egg looked different than regular eggs... ^_^""" I guess if you're from a rural place, it's normal reaction..but I just felt the entire dinner was interesting to see their reactions..lol..something normal to me is definitely a huge culture shock for a lot of the kids..

Anyway, kids are off for the weekend and will be back before I know it. So, adios everyone..I'm gonna go enjoy my days off....

Summer fun

I spent the last few days hanging out with my friends, catching up with friends here and everywhere else, studying GMAT, baking and other fun stuff..hehe. So far, we had steamboat/ hot pot (yes, we ate it during this horribly hot weather! XD ) and bak kut teh..what's next? haha..I have one more week of freedom before I move into the dorm again for work. Staying in the dorm would have its perks: free food, free lodging, TV cable. Bad is less freedom to hang out, less flexibility to yam cha or do things the way I'm accustomed to, more rules to follow, and less hygienic (based on my standards)..anyways, here are some of my all time favorite "Famous Amos" style chocolate chip cookies, it's so delicious!!! (sorry pics are a bit blur)

summer

Summer holiday:

should be fun
should be filled with excitement
should be filled with craziness
should be filled with activities

Not work
Not boredmn
Not others busy
Not nothing to do

Ahhhhh......FAYETTEVILLE IS JUST TOO SMALL!!!!!!!!!!

any fun ideas, anyone?

MOVED..........again

Moved!
haha..yes, I've moved again.
I have moved 9 times within the last 2 1/2 years! lol..
but I don't think this will be the last time since I'm graduating in 1 year time.
Anyways, I've moved to a townhouse closer to campus bus route..
every 10min..
yay!
no more missing the bus?
haha..
I love my new place!
Hardwood floors, real tiles, real kitchen, Harry Potter bedroom
AND
my walk-in closet!

Spring and Prayer request

Spring is here! Campus is filled with flowers and the sun is up again! =)
It's hot, dry and feels so nice. I am going to miss the snow, but it's ok..for now...
I'm enjoying this wonderful weather as it lasts!

Oh, please please please pray that I'll get into either the Fixed Income Securities Class or the Portfolio Management Class. Both of these classes accept only a limited number of students per year, and is extremely competitive. Although none of my friends or people I know are applying, I know there are a lot more other students applying for these classes. So, please please please pray I'll get into the class. I've been wanting to get in since freshmen!

Second thing is, please pray I'll get an internship? Economy is bad, and I need an internship..but someone needs to WANT to hire me..

Thanks, everyone! =)

a not so fun spring break

So, my plan for Spring Break did not work out, again!
It hasn't really worked out as planned for the past 2 years either.
No, I was not procrastinating this time, but Ms. Gastric decided to pay me a visit.
Not sure what I ate that actually caused the gastric but it was so bad that I was in bed for the past 3 days. *sigh* Can't go to work and left at home alone all day is boring!
I can't even study or concentrate in that matter, but I did get my hws done!
Now that I'm regaining my strength, I have so much to catch up and do before my break is over..
even though I'm still resting at home, bored..haha..but this is definitely better than laying in bed all day, thinking of the things I should be doing...

Oh, we had 8 inches of snow the first few days of Spring Break! hehe..I was so happy to see snow again! I love snow! It's cold, but it's so white that the earth actually look so clean and beautiful. And, I went sledding too! Bought a sled for $5 at Walmart, got my friend to make a path to sled downhill at the poultry science lawn, the side with less crazy people (I couldn't move the sled because apparently, you need weight to compress the snow initially), and a path to walk back uphill without falling! It was so much fun, even though most times I fell or tumble downhill instead because my sled just flew away from me and went the other direction..lol..but I had so much fun! I'll post the video soon!

Malaysian Night is this Saturday, people! I'm excited! Hopefully I would have recovered by then to enjoy the event. =)
