B3rkeley orientation was AWESOME guys. loved it! and i met alot of cool ppl too :)) haha but it was super funny cos they keep trashing stanf0rd which they call stanfurd. oh and the orientation counselors were SUPER SUPER cute. OMG i almost died when one of them sat next me and i just froze. he was soooooooooooo cute omg omg omg its rlly heart stops beating kind of cute :))))0

how is everyone?
im flying to b3rkeley tomorrow and it feels weird
cos it doesnt FEEL like im flying to b3rkeley tomorrow
a part of me wants to be an outstanding student
another part of me just wants to slack my days at b3rkeley away
anw im packing now and its no fun at all
i hope i get a nice roommate
i hope the communal restroom isnt too dirty
i hope i make good friends there
i hope my dorm doesnt get robbed
i hope i can find my way around
i hope orientation isnt too boring
i hope class isnt too boring
i hope my profs dont suck
i hope i discover what i would like my career pathway to be
i hope i get to do interesting things like study abroad
i hope i get a good internship
i hope b3rkeley ppl arent too weird
i hope they all wear pjs to class so i can do the same
haha is that contradictory
i hope b3rkeley ppl arent too ugly (HOHO) but seriously its for my psychological well-being
but most of all i hope i like the school

hello all!
just got back from the h@as alumni/new student gathering
haha there were much fewer ppl than i expected.... abt 20
hmm it was ok lah i was expecting loud and boisterous ppl but theyre all pretty civil
altho it got q boring toward the end
HAIYA im still angry im gg to b3rkeley lah
ppl keep asking me if im excited and i just fake a smile and answer with the standard: "ya, but im also kinda nervous/scared"
dunno why im so against b3rkeley too
prob in spore it has a gd reputation.....well actually over here too..but its like from personal experience right, its not so hard to get in
seriously man. im tutoring a guy who got into b3rkeley 3rd yr econ, and im tutoring him TRIGONOMETRY -_-
and its easy to transfer from community college if u have a 3.9 gpa and above and trust me its not hard to get a 3.9
but since im going there anw i shld start learning to like it like RIGHT NOW

emo

hey babes,

im JUST sitting in the office now waiting for a stack of work to come to me... anw, i came across this and i js thought of all of us (:

we've always been taught to reach for the highest and best things in life. and when we get what we want (haha WeNdY :P) den we're super happy! but when we can't achieve D' BEST, we cry and sulk and make every1 arnd us unhappy too ):

now tt sum of us are off to uni camps, sum of us are off to the US or UK, sum of us are MIA (zit sia haha), i js wanna say tt when u keep on pushin urself to reach for the highest attainable goal, dun forget to look at the beauty arnd u, the frens u have, the exp u gain... cos IF and when u can't reach it (touch wood), at least realise how high up u are and how far uve come already... (i tink the little boi is standing on the mountain top...)

alrite, enuf of me tryin to interpret the pic bt js tink about wat i said k? we're realli q high flyers y'all and we ARE gonna b rich and successful ppl/taitais/koreans bt if we keep wanting more, we'll nv b satisfied. realli.

haha, having 2 more months b4 flying off is a weird feeling. smtimes u feel so excited tt ur going away to sum place in the middle of a big lake (i js checked, the warmest temp in winter is 1 degrees celsius!) hoho. and smtimes u js feel sad and emo cos no1 noes wat it's gonna b like.

o well, i love y'all.

and being part of gabbag, i noe i cant end off emo haha. here's 2 random pics:

WTH! it has wings or some sort... bt it's q cute rite! (=

egypt's treasures... =/

im sorry i needed to say this somewhere

i think t@wfeiq has a new girlfriend i feel like dying now HAHA

Hellooo my babies.

I am here to update! Life has been very good and very busy. I have been busking for the BMDP for the last four days. and you all nv come watch! but i also nv tell you all! so nvm. haha. it was good got ppl actually come up to me and say i sing very well :D hoho. so hao lian.

but ya anw i nv raise as much money as the girl before me she is a j1 cj girl who is very cute and looks like a MUCH PRETTIER version of cl@ire ho omg omg omg if i was still in rg and GABBAG still had a use, i would totally have a crush on her omgomgomg.

ya anw hoho i have been going for astar briefings the whole week playing funny games to build team-spirit and camaraderie amongst the other 07 freshmen (this means 19 y/o girls and 21 y/o boys ><) and eh it's actually really fun! sigh. now i'm super scared that i cannot get into uwm den i would have gotten to like uwm and astar for NOTHING! haha... aiyoh aiyoh den they tell me all these funexciting things like how i can go snowboarding in wisconsin coz it's THAT cold... den talk abt accomodation all that... like HELLO I DUN EVEN HAF STUDENT ID HOW TO APPLY FOR ANYTHING I WILL START SCHOOL LATER THAN EVERYONE MISS ORIENTATION AND HAVE NO FRIENDS OTHER THAN SINGAPOREAN SCHOLARS.

my future looks bright right now, my friends. haha aiya we shall see. anw anw i will be away from the 19th-21st of june coz i will be at OBS!! omg i thot i would nv have to return to that wretched island but ALAS I MUST GO to bond with my fellow scholars. actually hor it rlly feels like astar either rlly cares abt their scholars or is seriously worried for their mental health. so much support and care goes into us feeling bonded and lurrrrved. hoho. pls pray that i have developed a smell that repels sandflies naturally.

omg i must tell u vipul is an astar scholar! he is v v v v v funny he was like 'eh your friends nv wear socks ah, get so many sandfly bites!' den i was like 'huh why socks?!'
vipul: to protect their feet mah!
me: u mean sandflies only bite ur feet? but i got bitten at my ankle leh
scholar #1: ya i think they just bite where they land vipul.
vipul: no la, wear socks rit, den they won't bite ur feet. so at least when u walk it won't hurt.

like ?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? right?! omg.

and i'm sorry zit, i told vipul u have sweaty palms. and he was v scared coz he just used ur racket the other day to play badminton.

anw i think zit has died she doesn't post or comment and none of us seems to know what she is doing with her life... hahaha WHERE IZZZIT? wow that joke is so old ah. omg.

and vipul told me ur class plays murderer during recess. HELLO THIS KIND OF GAME ONLY DURING ORIENTATION DEN CAN PLAY LOR... hahahaa eh shit budden today when i came back from teabreak HALF THE SCHOLARS WERE SITITNG IN A HUGE CIRCLE PLAYING SOME GAME DANIEL CAME UP WITH... and we all tried to pronounce vipul's surname to no avail. we just keep calling him 'Vipul Single'. den i said eh vipul is single for life and everyone laughed HOHO THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PPL THAT APPRECIATE MY JOKES EVERYONE!

I suddenly feel relly sad for myself. ogehs nvm update over!

hey omg you rejected p*** for ber*****?! that is tragic i think p*** is such a wonderful school it was/is my dream college la omgggg... sounds really good w/o being elitist and really homey you know? yeah.

but anw they rejected me dammit.

ok whee i'm applying to uwm and uiuc now and i dunno what the HELL to write for uwm's essay. i'm supposed to write about ANYTHING that i might feel is important to convey to the admissions committee. that's it. omg it's SO OPEN UNTIL AH... yeah. i dunno where to begin and what to incl and THERE IS NO WORD LIMIT which means i will write 3 pages of WHY I AM WONDERFUL and get rejected eventually.

dammit.

HELP ME! i rlly wanna go to uwm now... heard wonderful things about it. ok i've only heard about how crazy fun it is which is WONDERFUL...

and another thing!! when are u coming back gory? i'm planning to book a private room at mos on the 15th of june for all my friends to all party tgt before everyone leaves for college... and it's when the april batch of nsf POP so it should be awesomeeeeeeeeee fun yeaps

hello everyone you all must go also k dun be unfrenly. dun think i dunno u all alr thinking of how to tell me you're not free... haha.

and so im rejecting p3nn for b3rkeley
i hope i dont come to regret the decision but i'll make the best of what i've got at ucb i guess
dad, for some reason, loves the school and the scholarship offer doesnt hurt too
hey, ivies dont stand for everything right?
but damn would i have loved to go up to the east coast
argh. dad holds the purse strings though so no-go. he was rlly quite adamant that i not go to p3nn which he's nvr heard of. plus the UCs are rlly popular in indo. "what p3nn! i've only heard of h@rv@rd, st@nford, etc" sorry lah, didnt make it past interview round. i need to brush up on my interviewing skills
and he told my grandma p3nnsylvania (the town) was "xiang xia" haha
then she kept scolding me and asking me why i wanted to go :(
3 months ago i was sniggering at someone who gave up p3nn for b3rkeley to be with his gf
now im doing the same thing, albeit for different reasons :( oh well
san francisco's nice i guess. they have good indo food there
anyways, my grandma's being quite sweet cos she's coming with me to sf to help me settle in
and my room's been a pigsty for a week and she hasn't said anything yet
maybe it's the prospect of not seeing me for the next year that's lifting her spirits haha

huge dilemma right now, guys
