Yesterday was a day of discovery. I met the rest of the PSSA (Purdue Singapore ... something heh) was kinda zonked out cause i didn't get much rest the night before. Friday night :p i went for the Upper Room bible study cookout, and had lotsa fun :) the youth grp leader and his wife were super hospitable, and i met so many super ppl! Nevertheless, i signed up to help out with our three main projects and stayed around trying to socialised. But i still suck at small talk. So there.

We went off to Tippacanoe mall for dinner, i did some shopping :D and then 4 of us headed back by bus, which stopped by at the theatre at Wabash Landing. Thus started the impromptu movie outing. We watched Collateral, which was pretty good, but abrupt. It ended at 1145 pm.

It had just finish raining and puddles littered the ground. The wind was strong enough to classify the weather under freezing. Blame it on the amt of mountain dew i drank, i was suffering from sugar high and jumped around avoiding puddles. The guys decided to go to one of the guy dorm to chillout, and they had bikes, so i cldn't tag along. The night bus takes ages to come. so i walked the 45 mins walk.

I remembered wishing i brought my sweater when i heard a group of guys being really loud at a nearby bench. Guess i made a pretty good target cause when they saw me they kinda hunkered up and shoved me around. They tried to grap my bag, but hell, my mom gave me that bag. I don't really remember what happened. everthing was rather blurred. i remember being on the ground one moment, then running the next. 2 of them gave chase. unfortunately for them, they were drunk i wasn't.

It's God grace that i returned back unhurt, just a little bruised and freaked. But i mudified my fav pair of slippers and can't wash it clean. Oh well. Saturday night fever sure is swell.

Hi chew

Blogger has been really strange lately, so cldn't update. sorry y'all.

I dunno what triggered the wave of homesickness yesterday. Cld have been the empty room, could have been having too much time to think and sigh, must be self-pity (ugly word it is, but true). My roomie, Kathryn moved out yesterday, and Debbie has taken her place. The RA wrote me a note to see her, and apparently Debbie, who is staying at temp housing, is moving out of her closet-bedroom and she thinks that Debbie's to-be-roomie is better off with kathryn, cause both their bfs come over and stay over a lot, and debbie, being just one yr older than me and chinese (she's from indo) can click better with me. Apparently she hasn't told Kathy and the others yet, just me. But i strongly suspect that Kathy asked for the change, cause she cldn't click with me and i cldn't click with her partying ways. It's strange though, we didn't have a single fall-out, kinda comprimised and tolerated. She even told me that she wld rather talk it out with me than talk to our RA. Needless to say i'm pretty hurt, but maybe it was really the RA's decision. maybe.

The move isn't that bad, in fact my parents think it's a blessing cause Kathy has smthing against christians and her bf wants to stay over every weekend. Maybe it is. I can talk to Debbie better. But it's waaaay from buddy buddy status.

Just a minute ago i remember some sweet thing my mom gave me before she left for home and i never ate. Lo and behold, hi chew. When i unwrapped that damned thing, it reminded me so much of home i cldn't eat it. And i guess that's what trigged off the second wave of homesickness. talking abt regret hmph. As everyone always says, wait a bit, you'll find yr grp of friends! It's still earyl! Well, the wait is tough. I miss having someone to talk to all the time without worrying abt what to say and when to say, and going shopping or browsing together, and comfortable silence. I guess that's too much to ask for. My sis did warn me that i always hang my expectations too high.

i was in the laundry room yesterday, doing laundry (duh) and thumbing thr the Bible, and God sent me this verse Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Dunno whether what i'm going thr can be classified as suffering. it seems like a rather harsh word, and i seem rather childish. but man, it's lonely here. and i really miss home, and i miss y'all. I guess i shldn't forget that God's here for me, and i don't have to be afraid. It dosen't make things much easier, but it's bearable with hope. I hope :p

much afraid



this is the first time i'm uploading a pic, so hopefully, it works. That's the view from the hilton i'm staying in with my mom. Purdue has been okay i guess, it's really beautiful and i've made a new friend. From Singapore, cavell's and issac's friend. :) He brought us around yesterday and it was pretty cool. I checked in and stuff and got to see most of the campus. I can just imagine getting lost here.

orientation's later in the day, starts at 8 am. Cause of jet lag, my mom and i were up and about at 5 am. Going to be rather gong later in orientation. Had chinese food yesterday for lunch. Made me rather homesick for a moment. but i guess i'm still rather shellshocked. Buying groceries did make me feel better though. Dunno. i think it's very theraputic.

i went to visit my dorm, the room is kinda tiny and i'm going to mark my territory on the table with the internet cable hehe. not moving in till fri though, cause i have to pay extra. will try and post more picture when i get around to it.

ciao

Drink with me

It's pass 12 midnight. Thus enters the day that supposed to change my life, forever. Funny how this "life shaking" moment as the night resides and day enters is nothing but a queazy tummy and cold (pun NOT intended) feet. I've always been looking forward for this moment, since my mom told me about UWC. I love travelling and i wanted so desperately to get out and explore. But now, sleepy but determined not to fall asleep, with Save Tonight (i love that song) playing with the repeat button, i wonder whether it's really worth leaving so many good friends and unsaid words behind. guess sometimes it's rather hard to follow the carpe diem advice, but really regret when you don't.

I've emailed my roomie, it's been a bit more than 2 days and she hasn't replied yet. i'm not sure whether or not to start panicing and raving that i have a super tao roommate. Being paranoid i guess.

But to all those who are reading, y'all have left footprints all over my heart, and damn if i don't cherish these experiences. Memory may fade (i'm a slob. kill me =p) but the emotion and lesson learnt will stay forever. I'm already missing all of you, and i must say i never really appreciated all that God has given to me - family, friends, bro and sis in Christ- and how He brought me through everything, and stood by me while i fumed and sulked at Him, and happily skipped off the path. Thank you y'all for being such great friends and confidents. I love y'all.

Road trip

strangely, my last post never showed up. hm maybe blogger's just acting rather weird. Ne'way i was away in Penang for the long long weekend and had another shopping feast :p am quite happy with what i got hehe

The scenery though... isn't really what i expected. Penang isn't what it used to be. There was such thick fog that you can't distinguish the skyline and the sea. And the beach, it's full of plastic bottle and glass fragments (and what have you) that it's a real turn off to run on the sand barefoot, which takes away half the delight of going to the sea. didn't swim there at all. that's prob my only disappointment. But had lotsa fun. Last change for family bonding before i fly off. 5.1 more days. Sounds rather scary. Can't believe i'm leaving so soon.

I should find time to come back to AC for the last time, i even miss computing, so chris you better appreciate the golden silence before i come back and destroy it :p oh, oh, and i'm using my new laptop :) :) have yet to christian it, but still love 'im! Kudos to Pussy in the well ^^ for helping me with the transfering of data (i still need me pics! must remember to pass you my thumb drive).

Chel, peni, bri, dav: Thursday? I was planning on having the gathering on fri, BUT, SOME PEOPLE aren't going to be in S'PORE cause of some school competition thingy so they can't come on fri and can't SEND ME OFF! am upset. >.<

cheamiyumy: tomorrowwwwwwwww tomorrow! thanks so much dearie :) let's show seoul garden how we eat in style :p

Road trip

I would like to announce very proudly, that i'm currently using my new laptop :) :) T42 Thinkpad :D i'm almost delirious hehe. But i love this baby, just haven't thought of an apropriate name, so it's not officially christian yet. Thank you so much daddy! (even though i hope my parents never get onto my blog hehe)

Haven't updated lately, been really up to my ears in things that i have to get done before i leave. Strangely, it dosen't consist much of the people i have to see before i leave. but i guess it's cause of the timing and schedule conflicts. Must remember that others are still cramming and mugging :p. So about the party thingy... i'm not very sure whether it's worth it, cause it's going to take a lot of work getting people to come, and making sure that everyone can make it. Can't leave anyone out yanno.

But must say, i miss all of y'all so much. Mg, ac, (the odd one outs hehe) i even miss computing class (yep, believe it or not :p) maybe i shld come back one day and make a lot of noise and mayhem (Chris you better appreciate the golden silence now! :p)

Peni,Chel,Dav,Bri: sorry y'all! i'll be in Penang during this long long hols. I'll love to go out with y'all! so sorry! it's kinda family bonding trip *shudders* hehe

Pussy in the well: Thanks so much for fixing up my laptop :) and sorry abt the math hw! hope you survive mrs kan (carpe diem! :p)

Cheamiyumy: don't forget wed k? what do you say abt NYDC? The one at borders?

ciao!
