I'm getting the impression that my blog is very LAME-O and uninteresting in such a way that i just want to slash it to pieces. Maybe i will... but too many memories associated with it, so i guess i'll spare it for now.
I guess the reason why my blog is so boring is because... well, my life is uninteresting! no drama (well, relatively low level of drama)... no crazy partying, no random hookups, no crazy rendezvous with my lover in a hotel... nothing of that sort. I guess if my life were more messed up, and i was more dissatisfied with life that i could find a muse in something. After all, that is how artists get their inspiration, right?
sometimes u think you know someone, but u learn things about them that shock and amaze you... through their blog. I wonder, what did people do before blogs? Keep a diary, yea i know, but then... blogs are more... public, so in a way, you can share your pain with strangers and friends alike. what did we (who didn't go through our teenage years with blogs) have? where could we pour our secret anguishes and ecstacies?
i wonder what would happen if we took all the frustration we wrote down and actually confronted the people we were writing about... people we hated? Haha of course there is no way anyone would actually do it... so we keep it all inside...
or we write in blogs.

Aih... what is up with pharmacies selling shavers for women but shaving creams for men onli leh?? all i see for women are those Veet hair removal stuff... n i REFUSE to use that shit since the last time i used it n it left a burn on my leg that serves me as a reminder to NEVER use it again!
Been to 3 guardians, and 1 watsons and still, everyone's telling me that shaving cream is sold out! either that or they give me a look and direct me to the Veet display under the 'skin care' section and tell me in a patronizing tone that this is waht everyone uses nowadays... its like "shaving cream? like a mousse? no, sorry miss we don't have that here. why don't you try some hair removal cream..."
But i dont' want hair removal cream!!
so in desparation, i finally decided to say fuck it and buy mens shaving gel, cos God knows they have an abundance of that there! just used it tonight... and i just reek of manliness! actually i smell of cheap perfume... reminds me of walking past those 'uncle'... *shudders*
so if you're walking along the street at night, and suddenly catch a whiff of aftershave/men's shaving cream... have no fear... it could just be me...

The fire will not be quenched!
Ah... back home again finally... it's been 9 months, but still nothing has changed... still the same commercials on the TV, mostly the same buildings here and there.... seeing old friends again really makes life worth living... Life is overall... great!
What threw me off is a certain someone who shall not be named who is making another surprise appearance in my life again... and lets just say the communication lines have been severed for more than half a year... just saw the picture on friendster again, and nervous butterflies in my stomach? what is this... thought i'd lost all feeling for whats-the-name, but apparently... the flame is still going? It seems that fate seems to hate to leave me alone...
actually, i think its more the guilt than anything else... facing the person you have hurt again is just... scary... i have so much to say to he-who-shall-not-be-named, but who knows if its the right time... too fresh? just right? i've had phases where i battle myself wondering if i should call him and see if things are okay between us.... we've been buddies for so long... and of course, it takes just one small incident to shatter the fragile peace we had...
been thinking (more like obsessing) about the first time i'll meet him again after all this happened... to the point where it's haunting me in my dreams: I see him there and i want to approach, but he ignores me and i in turn ignore him, and i have this crazy urge to call out to him but i never get to, until the end of the dream i pick up the phone and start dialing his number, and boom! the phone rings.... and i wake up!
lol... don't get me wrong, i'm perfectly happy with my current beau... i'm just punishing myself for a great wrong i have done to someone and i really just want to be forgiven... to know that i've been absolved of all my wrongdoings and we can pick things up again... from the beginning, and very slowly...

Wah.... so excited!! only 13 more days to go till i go back to Malaysia... 3 more days till my brother gets here....
came back from Josh's just the other day... one downside to living with a guy for any period of time is that once you're not living together anymroe, it's like... somethings missing! lol... anyways... we ended my week of staying there by going to dorney park with another couple of friends, very exciting day... rained a little bit... but all in all a good time...:)
Hah... thought i got over my fear of rollercoasters, but it seems like the older i get, the less tolerant i am of them...I got on one which just took my entire body and spun it around and went on loops and stuff and i literally started blacking out after the second loop... damn scary... and after i got off i got this very sick feeling... like my stomach had been moved up to my ribcage....
its funny cos even tho college has been over for more than a week now, i still get dreams about exams i have to take, papers i have to write... it's like my mind refuses to let me rest! jsut other day i dreamed about having a physics and math exam back to back and i didn't really study for them cos i went to this end of the year party... and it turned out i ended up missing the entire exam altogether anyway... i woke up stressed, let me tell you!
otherwise life is resuming the usual slow pace it had when i was on holiday the last time...:) counting down the days... talk to you guys later!

Since Sheak Li has already started complaining, i guess i should start updating my blog again huh....
Summer vacations are ON! Been at Josh's house since last thursday... moving out was such a bitch! His parents had come up to take half of his crap away over the weekend, but we still managed to find a lot more crap we HAD to take back home... plus everyone else had to unload THEIR crap off to our car, cos it wouldn't fit their car.... ended up piling all the stuff in the back seat, the trunk, even the front seat!


Yea as you can probably tell... a great big mess!
Anyways, didn't get to go camping as i thought... the weather is still kinda cold.. up here in the mountains of Josh's home, it can still go down to 0C at night! so we decided to just chill up here, Josh's brother Matt just had his prom... i cooked for the family again... (no, no food poisoning)
Just yesterday went to the mall near Philadelphia... about 2 hours drive down just to go shopping! haha... not that there aren't any malls near Josh's place, (it's kinda ulu, but not THAT ulu...) but this is supposedly the biggest mall in the east coast... and wow... it was HUGE... it was probably two midvalleys! Every store imaginable... it was pretty crazy...:) shopped till we dropped, but i only bought sunglasses and a tank top... Josh got pissed cos he drove 2 hours for me to only buy sunglasses and a tank top, so he went and bought a whole new outfit! lol good for him, he hadn't bought anything for a while...
On the way back, we were like halfway home when the brake and battery lights on his car started lighting up... JOsh checked his engine temperature and the needle was steadily going up... man that was scary! we pulled over to the side of the highway and his engine just started billowing steam... ended up calling a tow truck to come and tow us off the side of the road, and then bring us back to where Josh lives... lol talk about an adventure, huh?
anyways, that's all i have for now... 3 more weeks till i'm back in sunny and warm Malaysia! i can't wait...

Ahhh..... last day of classes how sweet art thou...
AFter a very quick but painful journey through the semester... it's finally over! In August begins another semester from hell, but who's going to care... at this point i'm thinking, home, here i come!!! ii can almost taste the teh-o-ais limau, smell the roti canai... even hear the 'kanake' in the mamak... and being with friends that i haven't seen for SO long... friends that i jsut cant' wait to see... We're going to travel the world! (or at least to Thailand, or Bali) and 'cheong-K', and just sit and gossip about old times, and talk about new people...
ahhh.... now if only my professors would write me an email and say: oh by the way, we gave you all 100% on the finals, you can go home now...
oh wait. that doesn't happen in the real world.

Busted my knee.... (again)
aiseh.... with all the nice and warm weather out there, who could blame me for feeling a bit frisky and deciding to take a run around campus?
so i run like all the way to the campus bookstore (not even 1/2 a kilometer) when suddenly, i go down the stairs i hear a loud *crack*... my knee feels a little out of place so i decide to straighten it... and with another loud *crack* it shifts back into place...
aih... now it's as stiff as can be... what to do.... no more running for me... i'll just have to sit on my ass for the rest of my life.... stupidnya...
oh yea BTW... sheak li n pong... saw ur pics online from redang.... very very nice... and very very JEALOUS also! *whining* i wanna go to the beach...

Hehe... you guys must be wondering... i haven't seen her back yet.. she hasn't written to tell us anything... what's going on???
So yea... i made it!
Josh drove me back to Grandma's Friday night to stay the night so we could leave really early Saturday morning... i didn't stay at the Blaus' cos apparently Maura wasn't really happy about Chuck going away over the weekend after he had gone away to Atlantic City all week... not that i can blame her... i wouldn't want to have those kids even for a week! :P
anyways... early Saturday morning we departed early for our 7 1/2 hour drive up to Montreal... the drive up wasn't that interesting... Grandma and Chuck exchanged stories of times they had to drive really far to see other relatives (we were going up to see his cousins, or Grandma's cousins, rather... Jane and Larry Hollander)... including a wedding next to a manure field in South Dakota...
We passed by Chuck's old tennis camp about halfway up there, so we got out and took picures... it's in the middle of April already, and the lakes in upstate New York were still frozen over...
well, when we got to the border, the person at the counter forgot to take my departure card.. which would have meant that i didn't really leave the country at all... so i quickly ran out to give it back to her...
finally got to Chuck's cousin's place at like 3.30, by which time we were all exhausted. They were really nice to us, considering Chuck had called them out of the blue and told them he was coming to spend the weekend with them after 15 years of not seeing them! They were really old too... like 85 and 89... so fragile...:) Jane gave Grandma and i a short tour of Montreal... it's pretty and very... what's the word... eclectic? there was like really quaint old buildings right next to tall modern ones... and some houses that looked like they came right out of Cinderella or something... it was pretty cool. Saw some young people heading towards the bars (the drinking age here is 18) and was really tempted to go.. but it's not that much fun by yourself...
After dinner with the Hollanders, we spent the night at the hotel, i tried to do some homework, but ended up flipping though the French channels lol... we were leaving again early the next morning (at 8.00), so after a while, i just went to sleep.
The next morning, we left and when we got to the border, my heart started beating really fast. The guys at immigration were really nice though, i guess cos it was so early in the morning and they weren't stressed yet... they waved us into the office where i was to finish my paperwork... and when i handed them my I-20 form (that confirms i'm legal here in the States), they had NO idea what to do with it. If i weren't so nervous, i would've laughed. Three people crowding around the computer trying to figure out where to type in the numbers. Needless to say, i didn't have any problems, only that one of them forgot how to spell 'Bethlehem'... I think they thought i had just flown into Montreal and that i was just starting my semester right now, hence the lack of questions... their worst fear was that i would go into the country and then not even show up for classes...
so anyways... as we crossed the border, i was like YES!!! jumped about a bit when we had a pit stop and then... slept all the way down... kinda anticlimatic, huh...:)

The moment of truth...
I already got my Canadian visa on Thursday... man that was a hell of a day, had to wake up at like 5am in the morning just to catch the 6am bus into New York City... didn't get there till 8.30, and the consulate closed at 10 in the morning, so had to run around first to take passport pictures, and then up to the Canadian consulate.
Turned in my papers at 9.30, the lady actually asked me why the date on my I-20 was so recent, i just told her that my school issued me a new one, she just shrugged and was like, okay you can pick up your visa an hour later.... so i sit around and wait... turns out its over 2 hours before they call my number again to give me back my passport... I dragged poor Josh along with me, but he couldnt' come in and wait with me so he had to walk around the city by himself for a while, poor thing... but he ended up having fun also, so hey, he had no reason to yell at me!
anyways.... all said and done, i'm here at my Grandma's house, Chuck is picking me up in like 7 hours, so i really should be getting to bed soon... just that i'm kinda anxious right now... half of me is confident that it's not going to be any problem, i mean it's not that i was out looking for a job and i didn't have money to pay for my education, and not that i was sending money home also, so they should be like, okay... don't do it again.
but then the other half of me is like, they're gonna be like, you broke the rules, there's no way around this we're going to have to deport you. Aihhh.......
anyways... gonna keep things cool and do my best... otherwise you'll see your dear friend back here a month too soon, not too happy with herself! wish me luck!!
