Overspent again this month...

NO MORE EATING OUT until I go home (bubble teas are included).
NO MORE SHOPPING until January.
NO MORE BUYING stuffs that are >$2o.
NO MORE MOVIE WATCHING and other entertainment until winter break.

I really mean what I said!
Ok, with an exception,
since finals are around the corner, maybe I can eat out when I was too busy....

SID, I'm broke, no money to treat you d. You've to treat me when I'm home :P
I want lotzzzzzzzz of bubble tea :)

Countdown

倒数..
是,倒数着回国的时间.
但不是计算十二月度假的时间.
而是, 毕业后回国的日子.

大三快念完一半了
只剩下一年半, 就要迈入人生的另一个阶段
以前都有爸妈,government(对不起, 忘了怎么併)在铺路
这次,真的得靠自己了!

对未来,还感到迷慌.
总觉得我一直找不到我要的, 目标随着心态在改,
还像浪费了好多时间...
可是,不喜欢的我真的不想参与.
喜欢的需要机会...

说真的, 好真羡慕学长们
他们都做了决定
虽然在他人眼中不一定是最好的
可是, 重要的是他们都满意自在

未来的事 我无能预测
看来只能好好地珍惜当下!

A little enlightenment I got today:
When I was on my way to my class, I felt so grateful that I have to walk all the way to my class because it means that I still can walk.
Really wanna say a big THANKS to everyone who helps, guides, cheers and loves me throughout this year.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

星期六

最近,我还蛮懒散的...
可能因为过了第二期中考后, 我都没什么考试. 下一次考试将会在感恩节后.
难得轻松, 却有点内疚...
可是,想想, 在这两年, 都不曾好好地享受我的周末.
偶尔, 静静地写写blog, 听听歌, 感觉也还真不错!
"城市人, 把脚步放慢吧! :)"

把大爱剧翻译完了.
刚接下这任务时,心中是百般不愿, 抗拒.
可是, 边看边翻, 好像得了一些启示. 觉得这任务还满有意义的.
在不怎忙碌的棵业中抽出十个小时其实也不难嘛!

天气转冷了.好冷.好冷.
就像上次我们去迪斯尼的天气.
离上一次大家出游的时候已经一年了.
好怀念...
当时,我在心里曾默默地许愿能再次踏足此地.
可是, 何时呢?

好想家哦.
好久没打回家了.
两个星期? 三个星期?
好了, 是时候打回家. 那边星期天安门, 爸也应该在家吧!

再会(L)

~Ean~

说好的幸福呢

to sue yen,
so you like 给我一首歌的时间
i like it too :)

Yet, my favorite is still 说好的幸福呢!

For you and all of us~~~ practice time :)

说好的幸福呢
作词：方文山　作曲：周杰伦

你的回话凌乱著　在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽　甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯　我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱著歌　假装没事了

时间过了　走了　爱情面临选择
你冷了　倦了　我哭了
离开时的不快乐　你用卡片手写著
有些爱只给到这　真的痛了

怎麼了　你累了　说好的　幸福呢
我懂了　不说了　爱淡了　梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数著　你再不捨
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻　我都还记得

你不等了　说好的　幸福呢
我错了　泪乾了　放手了　后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转著　要怎麼停呢

~~heart heart jay!~~~

Huh....

Actually you knew it, but you just failed to admit it until this last hour.
Silly you! Anyhow, wish you good luck~~~~

Stop calling me Angela! IdioT!

:)

I didn't intend to blog but, just I'm too lazy to study....
38 nee said she's going to blog about bibi n wei wei... Where is the blog and "sexy" pictures????

Yesterday, we went to watch the "Madagascar 2" and "Quantum of Solace".
Watching "Madagascar 2" sorts of bringing back the good old memory...
If I'm not mistaken, we watched it during a small SPian gathering after we left Ibrahim....
Can you imagine it's almost 4 years we watched movie together? Hopefully, we can go to GSC again when I'm back :)

Yesterday evening, we had the AZ Initiation, 21 pledges were officially inducted. I still remembered me being inducted last semester. It's so sad that Lambda is no longer the youngest class... Anyway, Congratulations and Welcome to all the MUsss!

When I came back home, I found out that the bathroom and kitchen are sparkling clean.
Thanks, Tierra for cleaning them! I felt so bad though coz Tierra never used the bathroom.

After the long day, I felt so tired and slept from 1.30am till 1.3pm. 12 HOURS! I've never slept that long yet for this semester... Huh! Anyway, I felt so energized after the long rest :D

This December, few friends and I are planning to go for a concert :) This will be my first time going to a concert. Can't wait! 38 nee, guess which concert I'm going :P

Btw, what concert do they have in m'sia during countdown? Maybe we can go together since you'll take leave for 5 whole days :)

Weekend Part II

....from 2 posts back....

Coming out from the Urban Outfitters, I went into many stores (too many to remember) before I reached Forever 21 at 4Av and 14th. That means I actually shopped 2 blocks from the Path station at 6th before came to my main destination :P


an old man with his dogs in front of the F21.. Waiting for his wife, huh?

I started diving myself in millions of beautiful clothes right after I stepped in the shop. The mission of the day was finding a dress the formal. However, I didn't find anything that matched what in my mind after spending an hour there :(
Yet, I saw a nice and cute little summer top at the sale area. It's only $4.99. Once again, the shirt was shouting, "Buy me! Buy me!"
No! No! I've to fight the temptation.

"Thou shall not buy! Thou shall not buy it! Leave it alone oh the rack!"
"But, it's soooo cheap......"

Ah, what should I do???? To buy or not to buy?

Sadly, I lost in the war at the end and surrendered to the cute little shirt.....
But I'm happy :P I can wear that when I'm in M'sia :)

Right across the F21 is the Union Square. There were many people and stalls selling art and crafts. A band was performing in the middle of the square. Some guys were playing a kind of ball games at one corner while passerby stopped by to watch their performances and skills.









It was already 2.30pm after I walked around the stalls. Then, I saw the Regal Cinema. It would be nice if I can end my day by watching a movie. OMG, they do show <>! I wanna watch!

Sheeuuuttttt! Previous show at 2pm, next show at 4.30pm. It will be very dark and dangerous when I come out if I watched the 4.20pm show...Forget about it, maybe I can watch it in Menlo later ... I hope.

I was so exhausted and hungry at that time. So, I decided to go home. To give my day at the city a perfect end (an excuse to treat myself....), I had myself a pita from the Pita Joe for lunch :)
It's quite nice though a bit expensive. But, I'm HAPPY!


Pita Joe's Chicken Shnitzel and a cup of strawberry pineapple lemonade.
$ 9.00 ++ (10% for students!)

(I know someone will kill me...)

Once in a while, nevermindlah, I promise I won't eat out for the next 2 weeks!


I was sitting at the front sit while having my meal. It's fun to watch people passing by but, it's also weird coz the passerbys are so curious about what I'm eating.....

After the meal, I took the Path train back to Hoboken and board NJTransit from there to Rutgers. Spent an hour in the Secaucus Junction, but I used the 1 hour studying (finish 1/2 of my Food Science note!)

Reached home at 7pm. Exhausted but contented :)

~Ean~

Huh.....

After 28-minute struggle, finally, Hui Ann conquered the webreg and registered all her classes for the next spring... (She got only 1 course registered during the 1st 25 minutes, which is the American Government that she might somehow drop later...)

Huh, what a big relief~~~~

Now, she get to go home and take her dinner.... at 11pm
~kulu...kulu...kulu....~

Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend! On Saturday, I went to the Soup Kitchen to serve food and at nite, Yati, Fahzan and I went to Stevens for the Malaysian Nite. I met many friends from as well as from Penn State. The Penn State people drove 4 hours all the way up here juts to attend the event!
Pictures of that Nite have been uploaded at my facebook. Check it out!

On Sunday, I went to the city instead of go home... I broke my promise to study....But, then, I just finished 3 exams last week. It's not against the law to take a small break, right :D

I left the seniors' dorm at 11am, and walked along the Hudson River to the Path train station. The scenery along the river was as beautiful as usual. Since it was Sunday, many people were hanging out there in the park and on the bank.

This time, I didn't go to 33rd St as usual. I went to 14th St instead because Yati said there are many stores including my favorite Forever 21 :) I started my day with a cup of fozen yogurt from Pinkberry.
A small regular frozen yougurt
with chocolate chips for Ann!









I've tried frozen yogurt before. But, a sour frozen yogurt? This is my 1st time. However, it's not that superb sour. In fact, I like the sourness. The taste of the yougurt is quite nice,not too sweet nor too sour. Just nice.... After finishing my yummy yougurt, I saw the Red Mango which sells fozen yougurt right across the street. Damn, I should have tried that 1st! Since I've used up my quota for dessert that day, I guess I've to save the Red Mango frozen yougurt for another time...

My 1st stop of the day was the Urban Outfitters. Yati told me they always have items on sale at the basement. So, I decided to try my luck there. They do have many cheap stuffs there indeed. I found a shirt that costs only $5. So darn cheap! It also fit my well :) Oh boy, how could I resist from bringing it home when the shirt was literally shouting "Bring me home!". Haha!

Need to go to class, to be continued....

Gleaning

This morning, I and few other students went to the Giamerese Farm to do gleaning. Gleaning is picking the leftover vegetables or fruits from the farms after the harvest season. We are collecting food for the Food Bank in New Jersey, which will distribute the harvest to the soup kitchen and the poor in the state. The project is called Farmers Against Hunger. It was started up by a few farmers that send some vegetables to church routinely. Now, after 10 years, it had become a huge project with collaboration with over 55 farms and volunteers from over the state. They even own a big truck for transporting the produce. In fact, some of the farmers even plant some vegetables for this purpose instead of for profits! Ok, it's the short intro for the whole idea.

We left our school around 9.45am and reached the Giamerese Farm at 10am. The farm is quite near. If I'm not mistaken, it's located at East Brunswick. After a short intro by the personnel from the Farmers Against Hungers, we started picking the vegetables. It was my first time working in the farm though I've always wanted to try it! Today, we collected colloid green and turnip green. The leaves of the colloid were so huge! They are bigger than my head. But, according to the other students, the leaves shrink a lot after being cooked. So, we better hurried up and picked more. After picking a bag full of colloid green, I tried turnip. It's quite easy to pull the turnip out from the soil because they only have one main root (or tuber?). I have a lot of fun doing that while chatting with Pat from Alpha Zeta. Too bad, there are only 2 of us from AZ. I was expecting at least 10 brothers to come because I saw their names in the mailing list. Anyway, there are many food Science graduate students and some local senior citizens who joined us :)

We ended the activity at 11.45am. At the end of day, I managed to pick a bag (big black garbage bag) of turnip green and another bag of colloid green. In total, we collected

2500 pounds

(~1oookg++) of fresh produce! That's a lot!!!! Big applause for all of us :D

In short, it's a fun and meaningful activity to do. So, if you are free on Monday 10am-12pm, feel free to join us for the good cause!

Fun class

Just came out from my principle of food science class.
We learned about lipids today ~ the types, properties and function of lipids.
Sounds boring?
But, it's NOT!
It is such a fun course.
I learned so many REAL LIFE applications of sugars, proteins, lipids etc in food.

For example,
Do you know why we ask Malic Acid when we made jello?
Do you know there are always a white coating on the chocolates if we put them in the refrigerator?
Do you know what kinds of starch can form a better gel?
Do you know how to make the angle cake as white as snow?

The things learned there are so "live", and definitely useful if we wanna be a chef or a food scientists :)

Today, Dr. S "transformed" us into fatty acid just to show us how fat crystals can transform form
various forms and have different packings! It's so funny! I felt like I'm in the Food Network "Good Eats" show :D

Oh my, I'm truly, deeply, madly fall in love with food science :)

Fall

秋天到了.

秋天让我想起杰伦的歌...

或許命運的籤　讓我們遇見
只讓我們相戀　這一季的秋天

好感动的一段词.
爱情可以那么凄惨却那么美...

just like that

Okay, he won.
I'm indifferent about the fact. Why am I feeling nothing about it?
On the other hand, someone not even on this land are so excited about the presidential result...
Or, should I be excited about it? I don't know...
Okay, I guess just join the crowd, saying a big "YES!" to the end of war.
PEACE!

OMG, my housemate is eating the pepperoni just like that. It is so SALTY!! He is a complete weirdo :P

好烦...好奇怪...
为什么我会把所有事情告诉他? 为什么? 为什么?
这是错的! 一切都是错的!
错!错!错!
太错了!
对不起....

Happy!

2 exams down! Left physics :D
never felt that contented since last week.
have been studying since last Thursday. Hopefully my efforts will be paid off.

But, I dun care that much coz I did pretty well in the 1st midterm for both exams *mama n jie jies know what I meant* So, if I screwed up a little bit, in which I did, this time, I still think I'll survive :D Self-Hynoptizing ....

I really can't wait for the weekend to come. So many things are going on...

On Thurday, I'll have dinner at the Noodle Gourmet with Ying Ling as usual for Yummy Chinese Food~~
Tian Yuan and Yi An might join us.... Then we'll go to the RONS.
We've missed the activities 2 weeks due to midterms....

On Friday, I might go to:-
1) Cook Happy Hour organized by the school (free drinks for over 21!)
2) Big/Lil Olympics with AZ
3) Shinai Party with Kendo Club or
4) PARTY at Helyar House! Wow!
~Have to choose between shinai party and party at HH...Both at the same times....

On Saturday, I will go:-
1) YMCA Soup Kitchen with T.Chi
2) Malaysian Nite at Stevens!

Hoho!!! Can't wait for the happening weekend!!

Ok, on Sunday, I promise I'll be a good college student. I will finish up the Chapter 5 of Biochem, Chapter 11 n 12 of Molecular Genetics, Ideal Gas Law of Physics and Lipids chapter of Food Science. I PROMISE!!! (it's a lot though...)

Then, on Monday, I will go:-
1) gleaning for the needy if the school organizes again. Feel free to join us!

And Tuesday the 11th, I can register classes for next Spring.
Have to think wisely so that I won't repeat my mistake again....
I swear I don't want any more W on my transcript!

That's my plans for the whole week!! Hopefully everything goes well....

HooRAY!

Hooray! i didn't watch any youtube this weekend.
Biggest thanks to the THREE midterms that fall on the week!
Have been start studying since Friday night. Nope, since THURSDAY NITE....
