If I were to put this post under a label, it’d be under “Significant Days”. Oh man, it couldn’t be under anything else! I owe it all to fate, seriously. I’ll tell you why in a bit. We were coming out of the dining hall and getting our bags /coats when this girl I don’t […]

Tak baik, sangat sangat tak baik! I woke up this morning to the loudest, eeriest and yet most exciting wind howl evarrr. The wind was so strong and howling so loudly it sounded like a combination of someone whistling into a microphone with the speakers turned up and someone revving up a motorcycle engine. I […]

So we have reached this point already. Where it’s super cold (and when you complain people merely go, “You think this is cold? Wait till it gets to winter!”, which annoys me a lot) and the leaves are starting to dry up and die. We went on a farm tour today, and it was a […]

Pop quiz! Chooi Yen speaks English: (a) with no accent(b) in a sing-song manner(c) with too many “like”s(d) none of the above(e) all of the above Answer? (e)! Can you imagine! We were talking about accents the other day, because all of us speak English with such different accents, and when someone mentioned how some […]

Lately the one phrase I’ve been hearing a gazillion times is, “What?! I am so jealous!“ It is so weird you know, everyone else here is SO BUSY this week because it’s mid semesters week, and I am absolutely free. I mean, it’s supposed to be so hellish a week that they have posted these […]

OHMYGAWD last night was CRAZY! There’s this HUGE campus party that they have every year called 10/10 that is essentially one big drinking fest. I heard it’s called 10/10 because back then the college had this pay system where the first paychecks of the academic year were issued on the September 10, so people pretty […]

Eh eh eh. You know, all along I thought that since I got work-study as part of my financial aid, I have to repay the college every time I get my pay check. So today I went to the cashier’s office to ask them how to repay the college. But but but. I found out […]

Amazing. I just came back from bible studies 5 minutes ago. I mean, literally just got back to my dorm. It just so happened that we were studying the book of Isaiah tonight, and then I came back to my room, went into GMail, and saw an inspirational email from a friend of mine, quoting […]

It was raining this evening. I was in my room, doing homework, waiting to go to dinner in an hour, and it was gray and rainy outside. And for a moment there, I felt like I was at home again. (I don’t mean ‘home’ in the general sense, like I feel at home in this […]

AHHHH I love the weekends! Especially one heck of a hellish week! This past week I’d been sleeping no earlier than 2 a.m. everyday (and 4 a.m. on Thursday) to study for 3 exams and work on a project that required walking to the farthest end of the campus to look at and compare pre-human […]
