hehe

does anyone still read this?

let me publicize my flickr a bit hur hur kthxbye.



pls add me on flickr whoever sees this and likes this!!

hi max and nina and gloria you all are missed gabbag needs reunion inducers.

i am now in the office and i just ate a prata with a sausage in it seriously the prata tastes MUCH better than prata at casuarina or thompson BUT THE THING IS IT'S NOT A PRATA SPECIALTY STORE IT IS A PRATA USED FOR WRAPPING SAUSAGES.

oh it didn't only have a sausage it had like sauce and mayo and like lettuce where some parts tasted like raw cabbage.

gloria your life sounds v exciting i am jealous.

HAHA mine is not so bad either for the singapore peeps cafe cartel sells their cakes at half the price after 9pm SO I KEEP GOING DOWN FOR SUPPER/DESSERT I LOVE EATING.

i'm trying to wake up at 5am every morning to run. so far i've down the former - waking up at 5am but then i don't run i just switch off the alarm to go back to sleep.

important things i learned today

1. if u have a big enough pan u can fry 3 eggs at once
2. soy paste + water = damn good soup
3. soy paste + water + cabbage + lettuce = sukiyaki

YUMS. in fact i am eating it now.

so...as is kinda obvious..i have been testing my home economics skills over the past few days and i must say cooking is turning out to be easier than i thought

now i just hope my roommate doesnt realise she only has half a bottle of soy paste left

i lost my iphone
:(((((((((((

hahahaha ching ! lub chewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww MUACKS MUACKS MUACKS
do u know the ai wo bie zou links to baidu!?! -_- HAHA

today was great ppl!
i didnt even realise how much i missed the berkeley peeps but i do!
so i woke up at 6.30 am checked in bla bla boarded the plane and transited at seoul!
bird prob already knows this but they have ROTATING TOILET COVERS
so u dont have to like wipe the seat clean or squat over it like an idiot
anw i found that veryyyy cool
touched down in sf 12.30sf time took a cab home and...
spotted my roommate walking down the street! which was v good for me cos i didnt have to wait downstairs for my key
so anw for those who dont know i have 2 roommates jen and crystal
crystal's bf terence was also here he's rlly funny he talks crap all the time
and then virginie came over! my BFF haha felt kinda guilty cos i hadnt spoken to her the entire time i was back in singapore but it was good catching up and everything..got the dirt on her baby bro's new gf who's 30 cm shorter than he is, which is really rather strangely like how my bro's gf is 30cm shorter than he is

napped from 3.30-7.30 then went for dimsum with michelle, mike, chris
and i think we had enough leftovers to feed 4 homeless ppl but no one wanted to bring any home omg we're such wasters
and then chatted with the bff till now!

surprisingly not that tired but the bed still looks good esp since its right behind me

OH and it is AWESOME having ur own room I LOVE IT
i can actually start learning to cook now i have my own kitchen
i dont have to share a bathroom with 30 other girls
and i get my own TV woohoo! get to decorate, get this nice comfy couch, lots of space etc etc

MISS U PEEPS TOO!

gloria

爱我别走

hey guys
omg i'm super annoyed at my mother right now
supp to go watch dark knight tonight with my family i put off watching it with friends because i wanna save it for my parents
so today i'm finally free and they make themselves free
but i didn't book the tickets online
so when we get there half an hour early we're left with front row tickets
so my mother black face
OK SO I DIDN'T BOOK THE TICKETS ONLINE I FELL ASLEEP AFTER LUNCH AND WOKE UP AT 7.30
but hello i don't think it warrants her being so angry that she is now not talking to me at all
hello we watched 12 lotus instead which me and my dad enjoyed a lot
my mom sat and sulked
seriously omg wtf is wrong with her
i said sorry to her summore and she was like you're not sorry lor i know you don't mean it
uhh yea actually i don't. i rlly dun give a shit if we don't watch dark knight. what happened to family time, seriously. i thought the point was to spend time together, not necessarily watching some dead guy on screen being very good at being creepy.
i bet she is menopausing
i can't wait to leave.

hi wendy. starting from like random musing to the paragraph after i think u perfectly put that same nagging feeling i experience into words! in fact i have been trying to decipher the feeling for quite some time.
and i think it very highly possibly could do with not having a passion because as aimless as my life has been the past few days/weeks/months, i doubt im someone who can live an aimless life. like when i was still fencing i just felt really.......fulfilled. i know its common wisdom to say "oh u have to learn to be satisfied with what u have" etc BUT im also scared if i start thinking that way i'll lose out on what i cld possibly achieve
are we thinking too much or is life really this complicated

yo wow pls do not use this to get me to respond asap.
FACEBOOK, WOMAN.
because i log on 5 times a day. heh.

anw i was in bangkok over the weekend. parents decided to go there instead of hk.

i'm kinda bored with my days now... who wants to sign up for salsa classes with me!

sorry FALSE ALARM!
not going to hk after all...
sorry all who are in hk!

people in hk please drop your guitar heroes and give us a shout-out so we know you're alive

anw MAX are u reading this? are u at work?
i am too lazy to msg u but i got the greenlight from the parents to go to hk!
but booking tics and stuff is a major pain in the ass
after trying to book i dont feel like going anymore :( GAH woah im damn lazy..i think i appreciate my dad more now..he has been planning every single family trip we've had since i was born..and those trips are q convoluted..and we always complain that theyre boring. ahmagad now i understand the amount of blood sweat and tears put into planning those trips. and seeing the prices also --> heartpain

anw... max pls call me if u read this and tell me where you're staying! so i can book (possibly) in the same hotel

on another note, i have spent the entire morning trying to register for fall classes! almost got a heart attack cos i thought the classes would be closed since i ONCE AGAIN was late for my online registration appointment..but it didnt turn out that bad cos i got all the classes i wanted. whew. got placed on the waitlist for a couple of econ ones (which is q strange cos i declared my econ major last spring!) but i think thats bcos they have to manually process the declared majors too. THEYD BETTER...or i cannot get my classes and i dont need to graduate and i'll just become a super senior which really doesnt sound so bad cos i can just bum around school taking PE classes and harrassing the freshies

revival of the bug

hello all i was just reading out archives and i realise that we were really VERY FUNNY wow. but i'm v pissed off because my possessed picture is still up ): you know the one in sec 1. yes but nvm. cos all of us looked bad in some photo in one way or another. haha.

anyway me and brid went for this breakdancing performance on saturday these are the bboys.



haha they are a korean bboy group called 'last for one' apparently really good my new aspiration is to be a bgirl. i will first attempt to master the handstand.

yup this is a v good looking guy:



brid i photoshopped you although you looked really really v v v v nice in this pic but i thought you didn't want to be pu guang. and anyway you used my phone to take this picture so i thought you wanted everyone to see.

and yes i have many other photos of other gabbag members in my phone yall look awesome too.

but yes i'm v sad because i didn't take photo with one of the bboys who was OMG SO EXTREMELY WHOOOT WHOOOOOT is really the WHOOT kind.

and even though the rest looked like korean passerbys but its alright because they were so AWESOME at breakdancing.

yes they are called last4one and this is one of their routines (:

Europe next year?

I know this is probably a longshot but....

Who wants to backpack across Europe with me next June/July for a month?

anw my lab is... very fun. only wendy will appreciate what i have to say so i will just wait for her to come back then talk about it.

but the gd thing is that it's very informal. not slack, informal. i wear jeans slippers and teeshirt to work. and use msn. as long as what needs to be done is done, they dun really care. i come in at 1030 but i usually only leave at 6 or 630! so babies pls wait for me if we meet for post-work dinner...

one was a frat boy who got stabbed by a high school student who was drunk

max: dont miss **** too much (i hope he doesnt read this haha eh but it doesnt matter right?)
wendy: you'll do awesome and you know it!

it was v funny when wendy called me cos she didnt know the time diff
and she kept calling me at weird times like 5 in the morning
and i would be like omg! calling at this time must be emergency! and then i stumble out of bed
haha and max wanted to tell me to call her back before 7 then she realised i was 2 hrs behind so i would end up calling her after she boarded her plane

;weifjuoaidnfmvl,fjsdgoiuherjfkd;lafkjsdl
i want to go home nowwwwww
my roomie calls this Senior-itis. because the last year of high school (and college) is called your senior year, gedditt gedditt?? hurhurhurhur.
ok i need to stop stalking the boy from argentina he is on my mind whenever i have nothing else to think about which is a lot of times a day when i am trying to avoid studying. damn sad la. freak. gonna get emo again.

im trying to break the world record for doing as many things as i can without leaving the bed
ok im not but the way things have been going..i might as well be

so i psyche myself up all week for a crazy ass friday night. my friend is turning 23 tomorrow and we were supposed to go to his place to party and get drunk. the party was good. my friends are there and they're so not in the mood to party. i don't have my usual dancing kaki because one is sick and the other wants to study for finals in A WEEK. HELLO. GOT ALL WEEK PLUS WEEKEND.

i know i'm being a bitch. i'm just being a diva because it has been one MAJOR LETDOWN of a weekend. what the hell man seriously. tomorrow is senior's night and i'm tempted to just say fuck it but i have to go because i'm the mc. fuck it! ANW the sg guys promised that we'll go drink tmr night to make up for the shitty friday night that i have had thus far. tomorrow is the mifflin block party (mifflin is a street in madison) and I AM MISSING IT BECAUSE OF SENIOR'S NIGHT DINNER. fuck it!

this weekend blows.

i mean, if you guys don't want to go out, den tell me from the outset la! don't build me up buttercup just to let me down :(
ARGHAOIWEPFJAS;VLKJWREOUIHFJNGVAIULREWGFADKJAS'DKLFA

whatever.

i can't wait to come home and go clubbing proper with people who actually enjoy clubbing. seriously. i love my friends here, but there're not enough people that i can click with party-wise. seriously. SERIOUSLY. i'm sooo annoyed.

came back and hung out with the boys in my dorm (the non-smelly, non-weird ones) and when my sg friends came over at 2am (someone left their keys with me) one of the weird drunk ones harrassed them and the boys almost beat him up. pissed me off more. arghhhhh. gd thing i watched a chick flick in david's room and unwound a bit over beers. sigh. I'M GG TO BED. ANNOYED. I WANT PANCAKES.

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
