greetings friends !

just wanted to say that i have finally rmbed my bloody blogger password ... and my exams are in 4 days ... OKAY BYE

GUYS GUYS WE WON THE GAP CASE!
omg im so happy!
i was thanking everyone effusively, especially the judges, who were all super super nice
ahhh my first case comp! ah im really happy
today was a good overall yall

hello everyone! today i discovered i had reserves of BS in me i never knew i had

so basically i have to make 2 presentations today
-one for my real estate class
-the other for a GAP case competition

they were both group presentations
and this situation was actually good cos i learnt to delegate instead of trying to control every aspect of the presentation cos there was simply no time to.

ok so the case competition has a $1000 prize for the winning team so obviously i've been working on that more and kinda neglecting my real estate thing which is kinda ok for my teammates cos theyre all lazy too haha

so basically this is how we did the project which is 25% of our grade

we met for one hour before the 1st progress report was due
we were scheduled to meet the day before our 2nd progress report was due but i fell asleep, another girl fell asleep, one guy went to LA and basically we turned in crap

ytd when we met for the last time to work on the final presentation which was TODAY, we had to put that one guy on speakerphone cos he just got back from LA and was at the airport. and i left the meeting at 9 to work on the GAP case HAHA wow so i was like holy crap we are dead

so we all agreed to meet half an hour before class to rehearse for the FIRST time.
and i arrived only 10 minutes before class and we were all scrambling and everyone was like: oh wait whos going to do the conclusion? then they said : oh gloria can do it.

and i accepted cos i felt it was my responsibility since i had been so lazy.

so i walk into class right and HOLY SHIT the first grp blew me away. i was like: am i sitting in class or an actual boardroom? they were superrrrr good, professional and everything and there we were not even knowing who came after who in the presentation

so basically i made up the conclusion while i was sitting there in class and about 5 mins before we were scheduled to talk

but DUUUUUUUDEEEE i donno why, for some reason, i actually enjoyed being up there.
i was on a roll baby! hahah i really BS-ed my way through and i talked about mortgages like i actually knew what i was talking about. and then i just threw me self-made conclusion out there

later as we were getting our grades my prof was like oh the conclusion and mortgage discussion were excellent

DO U KNOW HOW EMPOWERING THAT FEELS wow i shall go be a professional public speaker now

ok but the really tough part comes now --> GAP case in 3 hours! wish me luck guys! we're up against some strong competition!!

hey babes, so now that iv regained some of my sanity
after stressing out about my econ prob set ytd, i shall blog properly, or at least as properly as i can on zero hours of sleep
econ prob sets are the bane of my life really but im so glad for buddies who help out and keep me awake and take me on random supper trips and send me funny videos to watch and even those who fall aslp while taking "breaks"
i think the one thing iv learned while im here is to take things slow, savor life more. it used to be all about achieve, achieve, achieve esp in tt sporean culture of ours..or maybe just the way i was raised..altho i still think certain things are a waste of time...am i being too vague? aiya whatev

so anw. i need a job. or rather an internship. which will then lead me to my job so i can find a company to sponsor me so i can stay in the US for more than a yr after i graduate. gar i hate all this visa shit..
anw iv been saying i need a job the past 3 mths but have not done anything to change current status haha. i think i'll just end up being one of the bums aroung berkeley since theyre so tolerated here

omg steve wozniak is so super super cute!!
he looks like santa claus! so jolly!

hey ling ur korean boys who cannot speak korean or chinese remind me of my jap-korean friend who cannot speak either jap or korean because his parents thought he would get confused growing up. so they only taught him english. the only thing he can say is yabayabasaeyo - which is not even korean

u have a WII?? since when? i've been wanting to play that thing for damn long already!

anw i realize i'm rlly vulgar when i talk to you guys

OH YA and to avoid confusion right. BF means best friend not boyfriend. which i stated in comments on the last post. and i used bf cos i thot bff wld be too bimbotic haha

eh whats up with the summer trip?? are we going to hk? then we can visit lings bro

the singapore-based gabbagians are not blogging

the people in singapore are not blogging hello people explain WHY. for the past month it has looked like wendy's travel blog until suddenly we have 5 posts by 3 different people in the past 24 hours. anyway i anyhow say the number one.

yah i just blogged to say i love you >>> to the tune of the song you know you know "i just called to say i love you" oh whatever cheesy ass old songs.


OKAY WHEN IS EVERYONE BACK JUNE EVERYONE WILL BE AROUND? LET'S HAVE WII PARTY AT MY PLACE!!!! :D:D WE CAN PLAY GUITAR HERO AND SUPER MARIO PARTY AND WII TENNIS it'll be so much more fun with gabbag. i played with my uni class it was fun lah but you know because we're not very close so cannot comment much hmm..

update on my life:
i am tuitioning 4 people. a pair of twins and two boys. as in the pair of twin girls and two boys are part of the 4 people.

basically the two boys, their mummy is korean and their daddy is singaporean.

they only know how to speak english even though they take chinese so when they speak chinese they sound like americans speakng chinese. not even ABC's speaking chinese leh. americans. ang mohs.

and they dunno korean.

omg but they are v smart but lazy like OMG everytime i teach them i want to squeeze them cos they're really cute but OMG THEY ARE WOW LAZY.


the twins. are girls. and they hate me. 'nuff said.


sorry i blog like a man. haha wow.

american ahlian

eh hello everybodae!

haha it's 4am now n i js gt back from the arcade BECAUSE ive gt finals n im super stressed so one of my seniors came down to fetch me to go drink paopaocha (5 dollars!!) and play arcade to relief stress (: it felt good shooting ppl heh heh.

haha im realli an ah lian even here... WHY! (and i dun eve go to th arcades in sing) this is really college life omg. stressed yet nonsesne at the same time. wheee~ the U S and A lives up to its name...

10 more days to home... STAYOVER before i leave fer senegal k babes? then yall can peak at leon *ahem bridget* haha.

ok so it's 2.25 am i am sitting in the com lab in my dorm basement (was) studying for my genetics exam on thursday but now that i've finished the designated chapters for tonight i have decided to slack off.

also i can't sleep because i made myself an extra strong cuppa nescafe (only kind that works on me man. damn i miss kopi!). even added less sugar so everytime i took a sip i would audibly go AAAHHH and cringe coz it's rlly omg bitter. so now that i am nicely awake for studying but don't want to study i shall update.

my roommate is amazed at how amazingly chilled out i am. she says i'm the most chill person she has ever met. i think i'm chill because she's hyperactive sometimes i just want to sedate her. she's like that squirrel from over the hedge u know u know?? ya. not even kidding. but she's a nice girl la... just a bit too chatty and somewhat boy-crazy-immature.

eh but seriously. i realised that i've become damn mellow here la. dunno why. i think i've always been kinda mellow (esp after the last bf hor). or maybe ppl here just don't strike the right note with me la. i mean, when i'm with gabbag i'm super noisy and loud and animated! and i haven't been stressed about school much, if at all. the us system paces you very well leh coz of all these random quizzes and exams. i nv overload the studying except this time la coz i partied almost all weekend instead of studying haha. this weekend going to be damn busy also.

first coz it's asian weekend. the taiwan assoc organized it la. all the international asian assocs are having booths at this central location to display our culture. i think sg assoc giving out yeo's drinks. HAHA. we're showing 881 also la, not so sad case. den sat i have to volunteer at this children's fair where they learn about different cultures worldwide. followed by 2 more sg film screenings! den den den dennn fri night and sat night got a few parties to go to. den den den den sat is one of the sg boys' TWENTY-THIRD bday omg OLDNESS. ah pek already. he rlly behaves like one anw. wah my life sounds so happening right now rit but actually it is only this weekend HAHA.

not happening then i blog for what rit?

hey guys, so i've been thinking about my future lately
like in practical, real terms - not in the oh-what-do-i-want-to-be-when-i-grow-up way
it dawned on me that graduation is just a year away and then i'll be in the working world, hopefully making my own $$
and the fact that my bf here is graduating this summer just drives home the point more
i think both america and asia have so many opportunities! but i donno where to decide on
maybe i'll stay in america a couple yrs more, get my MBA then go back home?

wendy ah - procrastinators unite!

i have hundreds of pages of genetics to read by thursday for my exam plus
chem hw that is apparently rather difficult (i have yet to look at it) due wed plus
only about 10 pages and 1 research paper to read by tomorrow afternoon plus
actual classes to attend between tomorrow and thurs

but i think wendy still win me.

let's go study LET'S GO G O GO

loser note of the day:
i wrote down my class number on my wrist coz i thought write on hand confirm wash off and i was so pleased with my cleverness then i took a shower PANGSAI LA. now i need to go look up the number again.

What Kind of Shitty Ass Spring

is this?!

Imagine please, SPRING: Flowers blooming, sun shining, birds chirping yada yada right? what do i have?! RAIN. COLD. COLD. RAIN. and wind. so it's COLD X 2 X 5 X 4028 RAIN. haha multiplicative rule i could have just put one X sign. nerd nerd ok sorry.

but seriously this is the weather forecast for the next few days:
Fri: Cloudy & breezy with showers (this means chilly rain+ possibility your umbrella will invert)
Sat and Sun: Showers of rain and SNOW. TMD! WHY IS THERE STILL SNOW?!
Mon: Chilly, with periods of sun.

Wow. I hate my life sometimes.

I have developed a love for all hot food and drinks. I even microwave my cookies to get them nice and toasty and soft. I blame the constant cold.

In other news, me and gloria randomly talked on the phone the other day because I got a letter from Berkeley asking me to go to their school for summer school which is very random and tempting because everyone looks very warm in those pictures in their SKIMPY CLOTHING DAMN YOU ALL. i am really turning very bitter because of the weather here. i tell you ah. if i could transfer to the west coast, i would. knn!

And I secretly hate almost everyone in my dorm. They are either weird, or on a very different wavelength, creepy, nerdy, or smelly. There are more than 1 persons with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I used to think people like that were rare, but I guess not when you live in my dorm. I get very envious when I visit my friends in their dorms, seeing them surrounded by normal people.

I really want to go home now. Nina you're so lucky la! less than a month away from returning... I'm still 5.5 weeks away. DAMN IT!

i am simultaneously having three conversations: one about what to do on the weekends in sf, another about my spring break in nyc, and another trying to get my friend out of depression over a girl.
and did i mention im trying to watch the tudors at the same time?
omg cognitive dissonance really
OH and my roommate is cuddling with her bf on the bed! which is right next to me! hello! im here thank you very much
