disclaimer : first, anything seen or read here cannot and will not be held against me in any way. second, you should here if you are a friend or unless you are a blog surfer here killing time. and if you are you're really wasting your time reading a blog of a person you don't know, see right there, that's 3 seconds you aren't going to get back.
now, i'm currently a freshman/sophmore at santa clara university. that has become my home away from home, but then again, i also consider melbourne my home away from home. i love being surrounded by people, even if there's no talking involved. i thank my lucky stars everyday for my friends, my singapore soulmates, my melbourne mates and of course my santa clara family. i have 16 friends which i would do almost anything in the world for and all of them are spread out between these 3 countries. which sometimes makes me sad but then there are the wonders of the internet and mediaring which everyone should use instead of skype *shameless advertising here*
i love music. my ipod is almost my lifeline. television is the source of everything good in my world. i love reading too, although i may not look the type. so basically music, books and television are my life.

i went to my first frat party last night
and to be honest
it's was not as fun as i thought it would be

i tried this really interesting drink though
it's called jungle juice
it taste like koolaid...
but with a kick...

hahaha

the music was good...
but it was croweded, and hot and the people were all squished together
oh and half way through someone shouted that the cops were coming
so we all ran out
but we found out it was a false alarm...so we went back in
and my friend got so damn drunk
he drank like 7 beers, 4 cup of jungle juice and then he stole my jungle juice and some other people's drinks...
we had to like sneak back on campus *oh the party was off campus duhh*
and he was shouting and singing and hugging trees
hahahaha...so we had to take care of him the rest of the night
but it's part of the experience right?
:)

there's another one tonight, but obviously i'm not there
cause i'm here typing
i've vowed that i will only go to one party a week
and i won't drink.......that much

*i just needed to put this up*

IN AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE RESCUE PETS!



because no animal should have to suffer like this...

with all the natural disasters hitting the US
it just makes me sick that owners would leave their pets like that to fend for themselves
with the recent hurricane Rita, there was a warning, *unlike hurricane Katrina*
and as i watched the news reports of people fleeing to a safer place, it made me sick in the stomach to see the abandoned pets roaming around not knowing what's going on, or what to do

that is just simply inhuman...

please go to http://www.noahswish.org and make a dontaion...
and tell others about this site to make this cause known
make this cause known
please

me and the weather here have a love-hate relationship
it's cold in the mornings
really hot in the afternoons
and then cold again at night
it's so irritating...
but..
i love the cold!
and the hot is so nice i feel like i'm on the beach...
so...yeah (:

the people here are really nice..
well most of them are..
but suprisingly (or maybe not) i'm feeling really antisocial
or maybe i'm just being lazy
but i'ld rather sit in my room and watch telly
rather than go to all these 'orientation' stuff where i'm suppose to make new friends
actually right now...i'm suppose to be at this thing called 'scu presents...'
but i'm here watching tv instead...
oh well...
there's a slpover downstair afterwards...
*cough*co-ed thank you very much*cough*
but i soooo don't feel like going...

other than that...
as antisocial and lazy as i am...i have made friends...
most of them are from US...but i met some from really cool places..
Guam
Thailand
Hong Kong
Korea
Belgium
India
Japan...
some others i can't remember *sorry*

i have a cellphone now too...so call me!! (:
408-306-4222

ohoh...
the sweetest, cutest thing that made my day, week, month COMPLETELY!!!!!!
a cute, fluffy *yes fluffy* golden retriever was running around freely around campus...
it was sooo cute!
i miss champ...

i hate the four-letter words....

p-a-c-k
it's troublesome and sucks sucks sucks!

d-o-r-m
means limited space...a shared room something i've never done

w-e-e-k
cause in one week my orientation starts, thus the end of my holiday...

g-o-n-e

but the scariest word ever...has six letters...

r-e-p-a-c-k

which is exactly what i have to do...cause i've packed too much...and i'm determined to cut it down by at least 30%...

you know you've grown up when you pack so many clothes, bags and shoes...and almost no soft toys and pillows...by choice

flipping through our photographs, thoughts of you are visible yet invisible
last year's winter, we laughed so sweetly
watching your tearstained face, telling me goodbye
i have yet to hear it when you've walked so far away
perhaps you have already given up on me, perhaps it is already very difficult to turn back
i know it's all my fault please give me another reason, say you don't love me

even if i don't understand, can you forgive me?
please don't use a breakup as your request
i know wanting to go is your wound's excuse
can you plese turn back, i will accompany you until the very end

even if there's no conclusion, i can still endure
i know you pain is the promise i gave
you said you gave me tolerance, and silence was because of acceptance
if you want to go, please remember me
if you feel sad...please forget me

all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go (no...not really) i'm standing here outside your door, i hate to wake you up to say goodbye (i'm leaving so damn early no one needs to come send me off) but the dawn is breakin' this early morn, the taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn. already i'm so lonesome...i could cry....
so kiss me and smile, tell me that you'll wait for me. hold me like you'll never let me go (sigh...) cause i'm leaving (10th september, 7.20am) on a jet plane (UA 838)..don't know when i'll be back again (sometime next summer i think...) oh baby i hate to go....
there's so many times i've let you down, so many time i've played around, i tell you now they don't mean a thing. every place i go i think of you, every song i sing i sing for you (i miss you guys all already...wish i could stay here in s'pore and melb) when i come back, i'll wear you wedding ring.....
now the time has come to leave you...one more time let me kiss you. close your eyes i'll be on my way....dream about the days to come...when i won't have to be alone...about the time..i won't have to say...
i'm leaving on a jetplane.....

'ehhh...isn't that lao shi??'
and me and sarah and sabs looked and screamed 'LAO SHI!!'
haha anyway...mrs gan came in when we were talking to lao shi
then went in search of miss tan but bumped into mr ng in the canteen instead...
continued to look for miss tan...and finally found her by acciden too outside the secondary hall
