brown university 3:00 a.m. -- 2008-08-31
i've uploaded all my photos on facebook but for those who wanna listen to my commentary then here goes =)
brown is fantastic. i'm not big on the socializing but there are people from allll over. the campus is beautiful. food is not bad. i skipped a good part of international orientation to get stuff done and now i'm ponning again and relaxing in my room =)
i stay in new pembroke #4 which is like in the middle with regards to rooming standards, not the best, not the worse. spent a bomb furnishing my room...actually i think it was okay la, i spent like 120 USD on everything excluding bedding though i paid for it before i came. bought like...bed raisers, fan, lamps, shoerack, hangers, a full length mirror...and some other misc stuff.I AM NOT SPENDING ANYMORE MONEY.i hope.
here's my room/bed BEFORE (its not like totally before but i couldn't stand the bare bed so i put on the sheets immeidately)
AFTER
closet...looks empty but trust me i have lots of clothes!just a lot of it is in storage.
around brown..the prettiest campus ever!not that i've been to many, but its got a very peaceful rural feel as compared to nus which is nice in a mordern way.
thayer street, stores and restaurants.that tall thing is the only high rise building around here, its the sci-li (science library)
with my new found singaporean/american-ish friend stephanie
at the mega freaking big providence place mall..we were there for more than 5 hours and didn't finish going through half the stores.its crazy.
dining hall, the ratty.i think the food isn't bad, and there is just SO MUCH its nuts.everything is all you can eat and like..just nuts!
kk i'm having a gd time here, can't wait for classes to start then i can get down to business!!

meetups..2 days to go 1:47 a.m. -- 2008-08-26
i'm gonna leave sooo soon now i feel kinda...shrugs.haha.
i always imagined parties to be well..like the grown up kind.everyone mingles and talks and bonds,on their on, spontaneously...but it doesn't seem to come naturally yet, especially since the guys don't really mingle with the girls.anyway, it was nice meeting everyone again. the girls were so self-entertaining i couldn't be happier, and we talked a lot, thats what girls do best.
then met up with pat and anna...the three of us go a long way back, and well, the thing i said to anna about pat and church people will always hold true.pat is the most admirable church person i've ever EVER met, and in future all church people i meet will be held up against her standard. pat is like a demi-god to me =p
anyway, i really think i will miss everyone loads.
DAD because i will miss his cooking and all the documentaries and my political/historical/war discussions with the most knowledgeable man i know.
MUM because i love that loud hearty laugh of hers. the laugh she insists on letting out even though we give her a what's-so-funny stare.
ALEX because i feel so special when he is kind to me.
BRANDON because he is so cute and sincere.
GRANDMA AND PA coz you guys are the sweetest couple ever. i like when grandpa shouts "ruth ah" and when grandma smiles when grandpa is being silly.
ANNA because you're my bestest friend who i feel most at home with and can talk about anything to.
CHERYL coz i can always count on you.
GLORIA because your voice just haunts me =p
NAT because you're really fun you said we are a girl gang =)
special mention should also go to ADNAAN my twin, JOEL and CHUNYEE who are my only gd male friends!
and last but not least CHAOLUN(aka CHRIS, HA =p) coz i always miss you and it will be a lonely 24 hour plane ride without you =(
HUGS (hug myself).i feel lonely already.

i'm in such an f-word mood 5:08 a.m. -- 2008-08-08
ok haha, haven't blogged in a while...a list of the things that have been happening
1. nothing much
2. i bought my suitcase. i shall take pictures and document my packing process coz if you've got as much STUFF as i do, it is one helluva massive process. (only other person who beats me is chaolun, you have NO IDEA, we're talking 5 new pairs of shoes in a month and too many jackets and jeans for any one normal person)
3. me getting upset about a certain someone saying a certain something behind my back which i feel is quite unjustified and very ungrateful. but i pretend anyway.
4. considered for a long while and then decided to go ahead and plan a farewell party/reunion. i am constantly bugged by this feeling that i'm so screwed and i will be pangsehed. although you know...it could be really good if people come. why not...don't we all miss RJ and want to relive the glory days?
5. and i got my roommate and dorm assignments. my roomie is from montenegro. my dorm has semi-private bathrooms. HOORAH.
6. and then i see that anna has a palace of a dorm room. fk, knew i should've gone to NUS.
7. try to revise all my calculus..which includes differentiation, integration and differential-fucking-equations. no joke. i hate math.
8. beijing olympics is starting today
and i digress. good luck with school people. i'm still bumming around and NOT TAKING ANY PICTURES (ARGH)

THE DAY BEFORE TMRW 6:15 p.m. -- 2008-06-23
no one can understand my excitement I AM JUST TOO EXCITED hahaha!!!
anyway met up with the girls this morning for breakfast at bunalun (hope i got that right) ahahaha, new day new discovery.
i'm really so grateful to God and maybe to fate(i'm quite divided concerning that, not) that i got to know them in JC. they are such wonderful people and great friends. i don't know how to put any further emphasis on the fact that they are such fantastic people with BIG HEARTS (HAHA!)
sometimes i moan quietly to myself (ok and to chaolun) that i don't have many friends...i'm not part of a big girl gang, i'm not quite the social butterfly though i am quite ok in social situations, i don't get invited to parties and social nights =.= hiahia.
i guess i don't like to get that close to that many people...
maybe i'm lazy!or maybe i don't like to tell people too many things (but i like to talk).
i really do like being alone. i like being an extroverted introvert. and while i don't like making too many friends, i really have to thank God for intro-ing me to such nice people.
so a few is enough. a few good men. a few good friends. and of course anna, coz no one can replace her!

hello people! 3GB of photos and 20 extra kg of baggage later, i am now back from japan! did a lot of shopping and went completely bonkers about the stationery.love it.
japan is an insanely organized society, you gotta see it to understand.everyone (EVERYONE) stands on the left of an escalator, one step apart, people line up to go onto the train, there is ZERO litter although there are no bins, they separate all their trash into paper plastics glass and so on so on...they are just so damn disciplined!!
anyway, while i unpack and distribute the loot i have come back with, i will need some extra extra time to sort out my 3GB++ worth of photos (2GB from alex and 1 combined me and my mum =.=)
so for now you get to see us dressed up as samurai.hahahha, it was a weird dress up session.

was talking to an 'old friend' today and felt quite a strong vibe of skepticism from her regarding my choices like, not deciding to do med after years of wanting to be a doctor and hoping to go to china with cl(mostly to do with bf) and so on and so forth not new to me i am used to getting this sort of skepticism from everyone friends foes and family alike perhaps only anna knows how i feel although i love all my other friends i think anna knows best because she has her own similar experience and so i trust that anna knows exactly how i feel on this i am quite sick of it people thinking i'm making a bad decision, i'm too idealistic yada yada when it is so far from the truth i am one hell of a pragmatic person, i make practical plans, prepare for the worse and hope for the best a good balance between cynicism and extreme optimism so the next time you say i'm too idealistic maybe you are being too cynical
and so at the risk of having I TOLD YOU SO thrown in my face i'd like to say that i know it will be alright i believe it will work out no matter how hard it is (i know okay, i don't need people going, "don't you know how hard long d is?" dude, i know)
because one day i might just invite you to my wedding for the sake of being able to throw an I TOLD YOU SO right back at you

i must tell you about my day
it wasn't so bad really, except when it first started out.
1.missed the condo bus out, so i had to walk. 2. raining heavily. 3. stupid driver SPED past me and splashed water all over my dress. 4. stupid driver SPED past me and splashed water all over my dress. 5. stupid driver SPED past me and splashed water all over my dress.
actually there was only 1 inconsiderate asshole but just for emphasis' sake i have ranted thrice.
i was like..WHAT THE FREAK (you know i really mean fuck) and was DAMN PISSED. rehearsing in my mind how i would close my umbrella(lightning speed) and fling it(pretty far) hit his car and then, screeech it would stop.and then he would get out, and then i would give him a piece of my mind.screaming many many many freak-s (you know i really mean fuck-s)
i was just so pissed i felt quite silly for being so childish, it will dry anyway right.but yeah, i was THAT pissed.
and then my mind just went to silly things like random m&m cravings. ah the incoherent madness that is cheryn-ann's life.
saying i kinda miss cl would be an understatement but i don't want to sound like a wussy brat

i've never been very scared to piss people off i mean, i don't want to (usually!) but i guess i'm a little bit irreverant i speak my mind and i don't care all that much (i won't dare claim to be completely nonchalant) about what people think of me but with cl i tread carefully more carefully
haha.

You're special 1:27 a.m. -- 2008-07-16
I realized something today As I waited at Mr Mag’s house for you to come back And on the bus to meet you for dinner I was so excited to see you Just like the first few times we met, heart racing and all Even as the cab drove off away from my house I skipped back home Almost slipped and fell Smiling like a child gone silly Just like the first night you sent me home after our “failed” date at Swensen’s And every date after, You’d turn back to wave, with a longing look on your face And when I look at you It’s with that same respect, awe and almost reverence Thinking “How the hell did I find you?” Like those first few months we were together
We’ve had a generous helping of downs this past month Lots of quarrels and disappointment Lots of uncertainty about the future And honestly, a fair bit of anger and blame
But now I realize Nothing has changed except in my mind And I’ve slowly hacked away at the insecurities and fears About your faithfulness, my faithfulness, the future, Our future And I believe we can do it We can work through these 4 years, We can make it
And after that, The issues that we quarreled about this past month Can be made to be non-issues Because we agree to disagree I agree to disagree I will be less stubborn I will respect the way you spend your money The decisions you make And the people you choose to extend your kindness to
I will learn to hold my tongue and support you
But I will say that I support you, not without a quiet word of caution Because I trust you to make decisions that are kind and right But I still don’t want anything bad to happen, Or people to take advantage of you
And I will learn, That at the end of the day Even if you didn’t heed my word of caution And your decision may have been kind but not right That I should be the one to comfort you To lend you a listening ear And to help you get over the set back and regain your optimism about life and your trust in people
Because I realize Although my pragmatic nature has its applications I love and admire you for your idealism and kindness You are kind beyond reason And by saying “I told you so” whenever you got hurt Would turn you into me
That’s the last thing I want Because although I love myself for the way I am I love you for the way you are
Idealistic, kind, loving, trusting Often uncompromisingly And without careful contemplation Totally not my style But I love you for those things Those are the things about you that make me look at you that way In awe and utter amazement You’re special.

second thoughts always come to my mind so quickly
like in serendipity where she reads into every sign, every word, every disagreement, trying to find some sort of affirmation that this is right.
because if its anything i've learnt from these past 2 years, its never to wish for whats not yours
because even if it does become yours by some weird twist of fate, you always worry that it never really is.
thank you bff, i must have sounded like a mad woman over the phone

when i was doing the psc psychometric test, it hit me once again..i mean i've always sort of known...that my personality is very inconsistent.
for example,
Q. on a saturday night i would like to be a)at home alone b)at a party i'd rather be at home alone.
Q. when in a group i tend to a)be the talkative one b)be the quiet one i'm usually the one talking.
Q. i find it easy to talk to people about myself a)true b)false true,i can't talk a lot about myself man.self-love is important.
Q. i keep my problems to myself a)most of the time b)rarely most of the time.
i am a extrovert but an introvert...i mean, i understand that there are different degrees and anyone can be inbetween.its just funny how i am selectively extroverted and really introverted too.i want to talk to people but then when i start typing the message, sometimes i decide not to.i feel so lonely and wish to myself i had someone to talk to, but when i do take some action, i hang up while the phone is ringing coz i decide i shouldn't.
but right now i really want to talk to someone, but i can't find anyone.
my guard is up again.
everyone should and needs to protect themselves.
that's what i learnt about myself from the psc test.
i feel the constant need to protect myself from people.
i am so weird. sometimes i feel i deserve to be alone.

i wonder if all couples go through like a few stages..from "honeymoon,everything you do is great" to "you're occasionally annoying DEAR" to "i loathe you, perpetually" to "resignation" and then maybe back to the honeymoon for some strange old retirees..if not its resignation or loathing to the grave!
haha!my parents have come full circle now.
i think i can get pretty annoying with my occasional high-for-no-reason mood swings and my busybody-ness..or even my impatience when people take too long to explain things(i do get reallly impatient when people take very long to explain sth, then it turns out to be so simple =.=)
but no crime against nature there.
its ok, i said 'i hate you' so many times in my mind already.my mind is kind of accustomed to hearing that phrase.altho i still got a shock,quick adjustment for me.
i shall work on being less annoying.
its funny,im always pretty confident except with you. used to think it was kind of like a, "i want to be better" thing.
but now i'm thinking maybe not.

i want ; a guy who calls me beautiful instead of hot , who calls me back when i hang up on him who will lie underneath the stars and listen to my heartbeat , or will stay awake , just to watch me sleep . wait for the boy who pursues me , who kisses my forehead , the one who wants to show me off to the world in sweatpants and no makeup . who holds my hand in front of his friends , who thinks i'm the prettiest thing and insists on holding me around the waist . the one who is constantly reminding me of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have me . the one who turns to his friends and says ' yeah , thats her . ' maybe, just maybe i might have that.
i want also.

life is so fricking fantastic
i dunno what else to say, life is so eventful but still there is a comfortable level of predictability.there are things eventful enough to blog about but i don't feel like it coz well..i just want to quietly enjoy my life and its strange but delightful ups and downs.
cl and i quarrel now.isn't that some news?!i told one of my friends i'd let her know when he and i start to bicker.haha, and we do now.but its still so funny, it doesn't last long, and it feels very..okay!hahaha, it seems like a normal part of life, our little fights here and there.
i was just thinking today.because sometimes he is so guai and nice it frustrates me..i mean, not that its a bad thing and i like that he's such a nice guy, its just..you can't let people take advantage of you..and you gotta learn to bend the rules once in a while.but anyway, i was thinking that well, its funny that when i decided that bad boys are trouble and i'd never ever like a bad boy again, fate brings along the guai-est guai boy in the guai guai bunch.

hehe, i'm here in jilin now, at cl's home.we went to shanghai first then to beijing then back here.its really really cold.its been in the vicinity of -30 of late.freaking freaking cold.
okok so i guess i'll start with shanghai, although i didn't really like it very much..the people aren't very nice and there isn't much to do.shanghai is a big urban city, quite like a not so clean singapore.hehe.
some pictures at the oriental pearl tower..cl says its the symbol of shanghai...welllll..it doesn't look very pretty and the view would've been better if not for the smog...its really windy up there, almost died.
BEIJING!my favourite place..lots to see and do and the people are much nicer.we also met cl's handsome cousin in beijing liwei.
some pictures of beijings "xiao chi jie"
we also went to eat beijing's famous roast duck at the most famous restaurant.it was daylight robbery.cl didn't like it, and neither did i really.
forbidden city..it was really nice altho parts of it were under construction.
hugging the pillar for warmth
more nice pictures..
and finally, the great wall..its really far from beijing city center so it was such a hassle getting there..and it was so damn tiring to climb...hehe..but again, just for experience's sake.
there are just too many photos!will update with photos of jilin soon!the snow is really nice!
cl is bored now, better go keep him company!

i had a family dinner on monday before work.and i wore my favourite kimono dress!anna says i like to wear the same things over and over..firstly coz i'm a lazy dresser and also coz i look good!=D
i worked till late on eve..the bar was nuts.it was noisy...and there was puke =( but it felt quite nice..felt like christmas for sure..maybe it was coz of the techno silent night blasting..i found that to be very comical.
then i spent christmas morning sleeping..i was dead beat and then i went to church.very appropriate huh!but i really enjoyed it.it was a little funny, being an "old-new-friend" but i find that i am more comfortable in church now.i think i've grown as a person since i last went and less skeptical about people.chaolun has his effect on me, but i'm glad i went =) nice way to start my christmas day =) thanks chunyee..altho i wished i had woken up early enough to go for the morning service coz anna went too!!I MISS YOU ANNA!
oh then SHOPPING!!with alex =) i love that lil bugger.i haven't found a better shopping companion than alex, no joke.i mean, i love shopping with chaolun or with anna or the girls like glor and cheryl..but nothing beats shopping with alex.he gives nice good cute but honest advice, he is patient, he waits and he looks around for nice stuff for me and he is real happy to shop with me too! =) my bro rocks =) looking forward to shopping with brandon too =) i love my brothers!
i bought some stuff from mango including a nice white jacket!i bought a big big big size so i can wear many layers underneath.gloria says white is my colour..hahaha guess so!

i don't have all that much to be sad about but the thing about life now is not that it is free from the usual ups and downs and worries and stress (and apps =.=) but that i feel that i have everything i need to face whatever comes my way.
there are some things, however, that i am completely unprepared for.those things scare me to death..like not being able to get a scholarship or not going to the same country as chaolun, or...if my grandfather passes away when i'm on vacation.oh man.that would be horrible...but its christmas, and we should all be positive.
tmrw i'm going to church grandma, because i promised i'd pray for grandpa right? i like to keep my promises, especially those that i make to people whom i love =)

went for mambo night ytd and all i can say is..thank god it was free. i didn't stay long coz i had to be up today.but i didn't like it anyway. i don't like crowds, i hate the pushing and shoving on the dance floor.and i was too scared to drink much, later merlion again then i will have an even stinkier track record (its very literal, my puke is mega stinky =( so unglam)
i am not a clubbing person.i am uncool and like to stay home.haha, but i love good company, and a little alcohol is nice too.
hope narpal will survive in NS.i remember him saying (when he was high) "i don't give a fuck about physical fitness, all i care about is my voice". and rightly so =) in all his self promotion and self praise, i actually do think it holds some truth.for one, i think in ten years time i will be proud to have known him.
haha and kenny is like, such a big brother kinda guy.to shame, he is not scary at all. dunno why i was scared of him.
a night out clubbing is supposed to be siao until the next day cannot remember anything.haha, but i end up thinking(in general) and thinking to myself that i really do like these guys, even when they're noisy and irreverant or singing incessantly or saying all the wrong things and can't shut up.
