dearest belinda..
once again...
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BELINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tuna,i just gotyour msg from msn...the one abt singing bel a birthday song. sorrry. i took a train to seattle straight after school ended (dec14). my train ride was 35 hours. then due to some windstorm in seattle (dec14), the train terminated at oregon and i had to take a shuttle busfrom oregon to seattle..journey took me 3 hours. when i reached my friend's house, there wasn any power supply cos the uprooted trees damaged the power supply cables etc. and cos he stays in the suburban area, his whole area didnt get power until 18th. so i couldnt use the internet for 5 freaking days . i tried calling, but cingular wouldnt let me... i ahve no idea whyy. thats strange cos when i called bel's no., they didnt let me, but when i tried grace's no...they allowed me. so sorrrry.... owell, i'm back safe and sound in sanjose with my family..well my mom is sktill in singapore..so yea, sarah got your msg. dont worrry.
belinda, i reallyhope you had a gerat birthdy dinner with the girls! so lucky lucky lucky... i'm looking forward to seeing you girls in may! i hope it is confirmed...
btww do u all remb who sianny is??! omgg.omg.omg. you know what, she facebooked me and at that moment, i was in seattle. so we met up at UW..university of washington. and yea, just chatted and she gave me a tour of her beautiful sch. like seriously, that sch is soo prettty. reminds me of the movie urban legend...those buildings. actually seattle reminds me of horror movies. cos there are so many of those tallll conical trees..watever u call those trees i forgot...and since the trees are leaves-less...they look very uh...sinister.
i had a very interesting experience on the train from LA to seattle. during dinner, me and my roommate ate at the dinner car on the train. and since there werent enough seats and tables, we had to share this table with this old couple...they are about 70plus years old. the woman used to be a street cop in orange county (OC) and the man, a tractor driver in some farm place. they were taking this train to somewhere in california to visit the woman's step father. so aywayy, she was telling us about her life story..she said she is a very tough woman cos she had been through a lot of adversities. when she was 14years old, she was nearly raped by her step father's brother. heres the gruesome details: in mississipi in the 1950s (imagine thosefamr lands), while she was chopping some woods, that man suddenly came up from behind her and threw her onto the ground. he took out his knife and used it to cut open her jeans, and he also slashed/punched/scratched her right half of her face (it was so bad that she had to undergo cosmetic surgery). he also bit off her left nipples. her whole stomach area had lots of wounds. so when 'penetration was about to occur' -quote her-, she desperately swung her axe across his face and the axe struck the back of his head and klled him instantly. she wasnt charegd with murder cos the wholecommunity thought it was this other man. so that man went to jail 'for' her. as for this step father's brother...it turned out that he was a serial rapist-killer. he killed at least 15 women/girls... and he buried them mostly in his farm. yea... haha and she said her story is just a typcial story in the south during the 1950s. girls getting raped and killed...people getting away with murders. people vanishing all the time. o well, arent we glad we live in the 21st century where plicemen are so much more well-equiped with technology and knowledge to catch criminals. anwyayy she was a street cop tooo
seattle is a nice city. people are friendly yaddayadda...a perfect place to raise a family...but just not my type of city. i was freeezing my butt off at night... cs my friend's place..no power for heaters at night... so basically i was sleeping in 10degreec every night until tue night. i couldnt even sleeep..it was just sooo cold.
anywayy have u guys heard of sudoku??? omyomy my friend just introduced it to me and now i'm sooo hooked on it. it is this math puzzle...something like a cross word puzzle. but instead of alphabets, u use numbers. sooo addictive. and once u get started on it, u cant stop.
owell, dont u think time passs soo quickly? one semester is gone. thats half my freshman year. freshman=partying. which means...i only have one last semester of partyign before i get down to serious work. my finals suck so badly. in america, or specifically at usc, getting less than 3.0 for gpa(grade point average) means u SUCK. and guess what i got... 2.8. freak. i got B- for art of asia and B- for writing140 and B for chemistry. o and i passed hist.thankfully. what sucks most is that for chemistry, an A looked so promising at the start of the year. i had 104/100 for the first mid term. then pledging started, i started skipping lectures and tutorials and basically,eveythin went downhill from there..i skipped the second chem midterm. but i managed to get 80/100 for the third mid term. but but but my finals was appalling... 150/200. btw, A is 93% if i'm not wrong. 70% is C and C when converted to gpa is 2.0. lie wth. AND AND for my art of asia finals... which includes 4 essays in 2 hrs... i scored 90/100. omgg but guss what, my attendance/participation i got 14/40 and my mid terms i got 38/80..haiyoooo as for writing..i'm just glad it wasnt a C+. haiz...
so ive decided to stop playing around and next semester, i'm taking math classes, so that should save my gpa. consistency +time management is the key lesson to learn from this semester. in uni, the level of readings to do is insane. if u just skip one week's worth of reading...the second week is gonna be TOUgh. so imagine skipping 3 mths worth of reading... whoeevr said alevels period is the most stressful time of your life obviously didnt go to university. alevels at least u can catch up in 2months... but in uni, everyday counts. thats so stressful. if u add the stress u feel everyday..thats def more than the stressload from just that short aleevsl period.
okokk long enough entry. pics next entry cos i dont know how to shift the pics to this part of tne entry. hahaha
