Hey you! Click on L O V E to navigate. Leave me a note to tell me how you've been getting along!=)

Im in Michigan Ann Arbor for 5 days since!! This is a beautiful place, with all those medieval buildings and really chatty ANg MOHs. My roommate(s) havent moved in yet, and im really looking forward to seeing them! Perhaps they wil be coming in tmr.=)

the hall im living in is called stockwell Hall. Single sex. Its probably one of the nicest dorms around here, cos like everyone who comes in to visit my dorm starts to get jealous. We ve got this really huge blue carpet lounge, a big TV room, and a dining hall that serves one of the best food on campus. (glee im looking forward to the dorm food when stockwell starts serving in 2 days time)

theres really all kinds of ice cream in AA(AnnArbor)!! Ben and Jerry is freaking cheap here, and like another brand of ice cream, Stucchies', tastes really good as well.. I think im really gonna getat. Dorm food serves salad bar, pasta, sandwiches or burger and all those stuff. Theres always yoghurt and all sorts of sinful stuff like ice cream machine.

Been hanging out quite a lot with the singaporeans over here. Like we go shopping for essentials together, eat together and talk quite a bit.BUt sometimes they talk really like crappy stuff that aint funny at all. miss the girls and guys in 75=S and the girls.

Aloy, thanks for the really nice letter, car and army photo!( u can really act dao) and no i didn cry on the plane=) are you disappointed?!hee

Wenjing, sharon, thanks for coming down all the way from your homes in the middle of the night. Wenjing: Thanks so much for the pillow, im still using it now and it really helped me sleep well on the plane haha! sharon: wahh. i hope you are going well on your prelims, and that was hell a lot of trouble you went through to get the laos ppl to write notes as well as hccoxyz. really sweet of you!!=))

Im waiting for the seniors to arrive so we can haven more fun! THe more fun activities like FESTifall and Maize Craze are all coming up soon. So far, its been all academic stuff=))

My school is so huge i think i will get lost if i venture out of the 1/4 area that im familiar with thus far. Im starting to seriously consider driving a car here, cos i dont think it will help me a lot in navigating around!=S haha

shall post photoooss soon.
love you all!

okay todays my last night sleeping on my bed!!

wel, mr lam and his big face appeared on newspapers headlines today. He called me earlier and he seemed very positive about it and even made plenty of jokes. I really really hope things will turn out alright. The accounts d surely be fine, but maybe the number of staff would be a prob. Goki also called me ( at 8 am in the morning!=s) she sounds a lot more distraught than ah lam. Pray that things turn out alright.

Bid farewell to Wang laoshi today. Shes said herself, xiaowang, and dawang, prof wang, gonna miss me lots.hahaha. how much funnier can she get.

And my very very last gathering today was with rgcoxyz. All 6 of us got together!!=) Very nice feeling talking to all of them. Still rmb those days when we hid in our xyz room and kept practising chang cheng like mad.and we got GOLD in the end! *beams*
those were the days when we had to fight against stupid stigma attached to cheena stuff in rgs. Jaime cousin is still as lame as EVER.=P


went Newyorknewyork again. The turkey with cranberry sandwich remains my favourite!

Im bored online cos its 2.25 am now. Im not sleepy but everyone has sch and has gone to sleep=( almost everyone else left online are those US BOUND!haha

its kinda weird, today is the 3rd last night i will be online. Totally mixed feelings abt leaving. I thought I would be really excited or perhaps numb about flying here and there but apparently its not the case. Starting to feel scared+ apprehensive. This time im gone, its for at least 8 months, or maybe a year before I'll be back cos of my family situation=S

Met up with eric, jieying and shiwei today. All those who stay in the east haha. Eric was really meticulous, developed our photos and put in a pretty frame for me to bring. Then jieying and shiwei went around with me to do my "auntie" barang barang. TM, the pride of our heartland.

Glee. Cant wait for a few more hours to come den i can spring bday surprise on mummmy~~

seems like sharon is doing the countdown for me on her blog.
"anyway im supposed to be quite happy online today. cus both wenjing n liyu are online:D"............"ooh. liyu's a sweet girl! yah sweet, cus she left a box of tic-tac and a note written on tissue for me in my pencil case! and i din notice till this afternoon. awww. touched ;)"
oh man better copy this down so that i can rmb how silly she is.

listening to: Too little too late- Jojo

SEVEN FIVE outing!!
(suddenly last night, samuel realised i was leaving liao and within one day he got quite a no of ppl to turn up to say bye to me! *proud of sam for once*)


Rmb in the latest issue of Urban, there was a whole section on how to make yourself look good in photos on cyberspace. One of the camera trick was to place the camera at eyebrow level. And ZhanPei had the most successful makeover=P hahahaha

Get the rest of the photos from me okay, 75. my blog dying from photos overload. And thanks for meeting me before I leave,I think ive met up with the WHOLE class already (except one person, u can try guessing =P)

201 Class gathering since how long, cos the idiot class chairman(me) was too lazy to organize.lalalala.
huichong is going to japan to study comm!! HOW COOL is that

Mr Lam ordered malt prawns and horfun and black pepper crab.And he bought me a mongo knife and an African necklace from Mongolia and Botswana respectively! How nice of him!(for once)hee

BYE WEILIN!!! I WILL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF. *SOBS*

lol! i won 25 more bux at mahjong. wahaha.

And i received my 2 credit cards alr! one from dad and one from bro. lalala. CAn do online shopping=))

Today was pure madness of hawker food. Auntie Kat, mum and me attacked hawker food today cos im leaving soon already! Hill street char kway teow, blk 16 fishball noodles, milk tea, ice kachang, oyster ommelete, malay satay, chng teng and nasi lemak. ALL in one day!!

My tummy must be going mad with the sudden shower of love.

Auntie kat and family gave a treat yesterday at Long Beach. Chilli Crabs down.

Mr Lam just called me! Giving me a treat for supper on friday. Black Pepper CRAB!!=))

Went to AMK temple yesterday to pray for my US studies.

Li ah pek made a complete and extremely accurate analysis of my character=S before I got my amulet. Here's his analysis

My Demerits:
1. Bad temper
2. Sharp tongue
3. Insolence to parents
4. Competitive, always wanna win
5. Too soft-hearted, can get cheated easily

My Merits:
1. Independent
2. Sensible
3. Very Kindhearted (he emphasize very, ok)

He said i too hao3 ming4 already, never take real hardships before. (objection!! my 3 mth fundraising??!) and then he advised me not to be to trusting of strangers/acquaintances in US and told me to focus on my studies. lalala.

Well, he's spot-on about my character analysis. Every point he made. So I need to write it down to do my reflections. And, wah, my demerit list longer than merit list lei, I need to improve on that=S

Auntie annie gave me a farewell dinner treat yesterday~
On the way to AMK, we were just randomly talking about divorce. Then Ahma excitedly gave a comment in hokkien."Divorce this kinda thing is hereditary one" Lol!! all of us laughed till we were almost bent double. I must go do research to find the divorce gene.

Well, pray that my dad has a good new contract and no health prob, my mummy has no health problems and be happy, ahma has good health and no more knee aches, harmony in ahyee's family, successful completion of studies for Sis, nice new colleagues and environment for bro and no more scary problems for little cousin Sihui. Hope things will turn out fine for her=S

There's a requirement of 4th term proficiency in foreign language in UofM, which I means to dig out all my jap books and start studying like crazy!!! I need to take the placement test during orientation.

DouShiTE!! nihongo ga chotto dake oboeru yo~
-puke- at my sentence structure. Sensei will censure me if she read this.



wah i found neoprint shots on erics blog.

-jap mode-
ichi, ni, san~ suteki desuyo~

Great surprise for sheryl lim, the lazy-bum-turned-aspiring-dragonboat-hotbod-athelete at PGP in NUS!!!

Quiche from Cedele tastes wonderful. Esp with addition of mustard that was cleverly used to create the apt note of "Dear Sheryl, U SUX! Happy 19th", the mushroom quiche taste heavenly.

ANW when sheryl saw me, she went, liyu why are you so skinny now!!! err. if im skinny now then i cant imagine HOW fat i was last time=((

2nd surprise for Carine, much simpler, but i noticed the -im damn surprised-look when she saw me strolling into Munchie Monkies. Anw, the food at munchie has nothing palatable or aesthetically pleasing about it at all. Not worth a try.

NUS is a suitable place for meeting old friends/ acquaintances!! lets make a count:
jac,amy, weilin, elaine, yaqi, sheryl, stacy, milton, Aloy, Carine, richmond, daphne-04s75 (WAH PLUS ME IS HALF THE CLASS STRENGTH)
jovina, jiahui, joyce, wensi, rachel, liling, edlyn - hc
jiaxin, maxine, kaiting, sarah, yuqing, minxuan, adeline bay, shihui - rgs
cecilia, sheralyn, julia-primary sch
lydia, annie (i think)-random ppl ahha

at chem lect

kt at busstop

mini at science canteen

carine at munchie
everyones linked in a way or another. Singapore is just tooooo small.Didnt meet any law/biz ppl cos i think they are all the way at the other side of campus? NUS Co-op was soo crowded there werent any space to MOVE around. Their books were so limited too! Finally went to clementi bookstore and got my bio text. ANW, heard tanjianan wants to go melb U to do dentistry. Can you imagine him poring over your teetthhhhh? he ll scare the lights out of u!!

I'm very high from fireworks!!! Ten minutes of fireworks makes one high for hours. Today's fireworks display was choreographed by the France team, therefore the colour scheme was red, blue and white. Their flag colours!! Totally splendid performance.

And Mr Lam just called me on my hp from Botswana!!!! Just as I was talking to Weilin and Felix about how Mr lam had dragged me to buy some electronics stuff at Sim Lim, Mr Lam's caller ID appeared on my hp! the chinese saying. shuo cao cao, cao cao jiu dao. And i spoke to 2 botswana orphans on the phone...way cooool=)

And i took neoprint today with eric after our lunch at ichiban boshi. Neoprint was an almost obsolete item in my life! Theres a very nice shot of us acting real dao, seems like we were posing for some cover magazine.=) well, while we were bumming outside best denki at taka, almost falling asleep (him cos of medicine and me cos of sleep), derrick, terence and their mum walked past. oh my gosh! (der: co batchmate, terence: mich freshman and i spoke to their mum b4)eric and i were just thinking what they would speculate about just the two of us being alone. =S

watched click with felix after that. Click is just another cliche movie plot. As what weilin and I discussed, if we had used such a plot in our secondary sch chinese compo, where everything turns out to be a dream at the end, we get FAIL for compo!! hahaha

but wad a pity, didn go NUS rag today. heard it was realy fun! and didn go for shicheng bbq, and didn go for michigan outing.=(

My greatest kill.

At mahjong.

$25 won against my mum's pro mahjong kakis when I stood in for one and half hour! cos auntie Kat was late. lalalala!

and whats up with the Cadbury Boost advertisment hurh. The first time i heard the advert, i thought it was Cadbury Boos.lol. So i thought who the hell in the right frame of mind names his product Boos. But anw, the roller skater girl and her shrieking laughter gets on my nerves. Juxtaposed against ZhangZiyi in her asianessence hair advert, it proves that its always better to film adverts with good storyboards and enough-to-spare budgets.

Eagerly waiting for "My Lovely Samsoon" which debuts next thursday on channel U!!=D

gosh i feel proud for making silly sharon sit at McCafe for 3.5 hours straight to do her bio sexual repro tutorials. MiZ Wang will be so proud of me! -has the future bio teacher look-

I suddenly couldn't find my bio notes that i was sup to bring to lend sharon ang for doing her tutorials cos she lost them alr. And its very very bizzare cos like my notes are the neatest thing in my study room. Neatly filed and tucked away in my cupboard..but anything after excretion topic was just missing.how sad. i was panicking cos i was 30 minutes to meeting sharon ang at marina sq.
Luckily aloy's nice gf,haha, daphne lar, was at home and she had her notes AND she was on her way out to meet aloy for NDP. Lol. so i met her at bedok mrt to get the notes=) a crisis survived.

anw the highlight of today was going to find wenjing. Sharon claims im a pro PI or spy or wadeva you call it. Cos i was coolly standing at GNC, trying to find a proper time slot for us to enter and pounce on wenjing, whilst sharon was feeling so jumpy the whole time. =P wenjing was soo nice! she gave me a treat out of her pocket on monday when i was at marina with esther. i jus felt like i wanted to go back and find her again. And with sharon ang, we formed her biggest fan club ever=)haha.


but anw we were unlucky cos her taiwan boss was around so she couldn talk much to us. Sharon Ang! Im gonna impose a fee of $9 per hour for any body contact alr=P Stardeee hard and stop thinkin of co and snrs!!

well, I met up with esther on monday. since how long ago did we meet~ we threw money into the bowling alley at superbowl and more money at the arcade by doing datona. both our bowling skills were so superb, any bowling king would have jumped out of his graveyard to impart us some basic bowling skils. n at arcade, we tried this thrill drive, and i had a fatal accident with some oil truck cos i drove too fast.lol! in the end they gave me 59 marks for my driving skills DESPITE the fatal accident i caused.hahaha.

15 days more to Ann Arbor =) =S =(

Who else have I not met up with?

Wah i slept for 15 hours total today. Decolgen is damn powerful. My dry cough on Sunday morphed into a debilitating flu bug overnight. -cough-

Webcam-ed with bro yesterday. Actually. it was more of my mum webcaming with him while I stoned beside the com. Got my laptop ordered and configured online. HP. My bro's doing everything from configuring to ordering to paying, which is great for a computer idiot like me.

the last three days was REAlly hectic.its just weird how my stuff all seems to be scheduled over the weekends and then on certain weekdays i ll be like BORED to death at home watching TV and watching my mum play mahjong=S

4th Aug
well on friday, i went down to Redhill for the karaoke cum dessert session. I was lugging DAMN a lot of things cos of like YC blazer to return, HL's dvds and cds, the ingredients for cooking dessert and my clothes over 2 days=S
the dessert turned out quite nice and the elderly finished it! so im really happy. well the skinny uncle who loves karoke dedicated an oldie titled 18year old girl or something to me. hahaha it was soo funny. and he was so enthu about getai he tried to get me to go watch and gave me this sheet of getai listings. lol=)
uncle leong leong ho loves to sing the yue liang dai biao wo de xing cos every time i hear him sing that!=P
well it was nice cos huishan went down specially for it, by ponnign her academic talk. and then xy and lingwei also went down at last minute requests.=)

Well, halfway cos christine was busy with the huge number of cartons of rations coming in on that day so she asked me to accompany one of the popo to alexandra hospital cos her hand was injured. It turned out that the popo was the bed bug popo!ya she fell from her bed when she got up too quickly and fractured her hand. it was really badly swollen on friday cos apparently her visit to the sinseh didnt work.

so i got wanxuan to go along as well. and it was a really long wait at alexandra hospital. glad wanxuan was there=) and we brot popo to A&E somemore. Imagine the wait if we went outpatient=S hahahahah wanxuan saw this cute doctor and CLAIMEd that he smiled at her.lol.
anyway the diagnosis was tat she may need to go surgery but she has to go back for another appointment with specialist in 2 weeks time. The nurse put her hand in this "boxer bandage" that refrains the entire wrist joint and onwards to move.

left to go hl's house to return her dvd den went down to YC to give talk to botswana ppl. It really weird like how YC gets involved in parents now cos it never happened in the past. So knowing how Mr Lam loves to create this mega impression of happenign stuff in YC, i played along. My guess is Botswana will never be as exciting and memorable as Zimbabwe. Cos they dont even noe their team mates. while mine was with teammates who went thru 5 months of sheer hell tgt. And they will never find homes as warming as SJH and HCH and matthew rusike=)) and, theirs is like only 7 days.lol.

went to meet jac to go timbre tgt. She was hoping it was EIC playing but it turned out to be timmy, i tink. anw the music was really good. Then jac made me/us walk all the way from dhoby ghaut to timbre which was at Armenian street. LOL. bet she just wanted me to pass by and admire her school=P




cant see the lead singer clearly=(

jac has a nice starry starry ceiling in her room!=) and she has frigging a lot of bags!!

5th aug
after like a night of restless sleep, (i think i take time to get accustomed to beds) i was awake by 7 plus so i decided to just wake up all together and leave for harbourfront, Michigan sentosa outing. jac was sleeping like SOO soundly when i left.

welli wouldn say sentosa outing was fun. it was kinda badly planned and org, considering the date was set so long ago=S hope im not being like critical, but i guess i have to admit tat YC-style training is quite useful in event management.
perhaps the company kinda made up for it. My OG, consisting of grand total of like 5 freshies and 3 soph, was made up of way NICE NICE ppl.as in the sincerely nice kind=)

haha and i think after fundraising experience, i become shameless at approaching strangers. like getting ppl to apply sun block and getting a long strand of hair from this pretty lady. lol. no wonder i didn get sun burnt=P

and i forgot about my camera which was neatly tucked in my BAG. sian. so i have no photos of sentosa.

and yeah.i vefound 2 people whos going on NWA on 24th!=D

6th aug
cco concert with pro liu changfu. PROf is so so good. i jus cant imagine how he can play the zhonghu with such a distinctive style of his own. the first time i heard it, i was so mesmerized i forgot to play my own part=P well tix sales today were really good! i heard a lot of sco ppl came to watch as well. zousikou was the best today while gadameilin had a no of mishaps here and there.
and i made a mistake that i never made before. i forgot tat it was 2/2 beat in the finale. sigh.=( this will prob be my last cco concert in like 3 years i think=((



sharon ang and her classic pose


im fianlly taller than waikit=))


hcco/cco xyz girls=)


and i got to noe deborah today. whos studying at Uof wisc. shes sooo into lindy hop!
and we have like so many things in common. bio,dance and JAP.woohoo


i ve known jiamin for 12 yearssss!

-a complicated math qn-

cost for freshman year at UofM (round up)
tuition fees ~ 29,000
room~ 6,900
miscellanous 2,000

total~38,000
US dollar hor! not singapore dollar.

so, based on today's exchange rate of 1.5794 ( of today, aug 3)
total cost in S$ is 60, 017.20

assuming i study EVERYDAY for eight months(haha)
and in eight months there are about 242 days (30+31+30+31+31+28+31+30)

everyday i spend
S$60,017.20 / 242= S$248.01

ouch!



cycliiinngg at ECP. oh i repaired my bike today. how smart of me!

NDP Preview on 29th July. Im such a patriotic citizen cos I believed Cao that we should don red, aka festive colours.




28th July, High tea@ Phoenix Garden with Aloy and Carineeee. High tea makes me high!
