I have succumbed to the pull of the LiveJournal camp. I will not be writing here anymore, but at http://ikepela.livejournal.com for the option of privacy or selective audiences. And of course, for the tres adorable mood emoticons.

After all those grandiose plans to get my corpulent bottom upon a bicycle seat on Saturday, it had to rain. We (Wen and that ah gua Terence) ended up buying a webcam from Sim Lim instead. He's such a good bargainer. So now, the whole world can see my beeeeyooootifooolll face even if they're halfway across the world. Just kidding.

So I have four finals next week and an 8-page paper due Friday. I will be living the high (read: caffeinated. sp?) life at Tisch Library, waiting for my Liberation to come and rescue me. I was very upset when my lovely new Alice in Wonderland Disappearing Cheshire Cat mug from SF was ruined by my roommate (or her 25-yr old boyfriend) a week after I painstakingly hand-picked it when either of them

I was bored of doing mathematics of the finite nature, and realised that this blog lacked a profile. So my good instincts took over, I did the right thing and put one up.Also, I am suffering from a disease. It is called Splitus Endsis. Fortunately, it is not terminal. It can be cured by invasive surgery involving cutting off the ends of my hair. I don't even have to go to the hospital to do it.

Spring Break in SF was pretty good. A justification to be full-fledged Asian tourists across the continent. The weather was perfect. Union Square, Union Square and more Union Square, and, oh, the food. Korean food with Cindy and Martin, Japantown for teppanyaki with Cindy and her friends, more Japanese food at Sutter Street. I went to Fisherman's Wharf twice for In-n-Out, gorgeous views and

Why am I always hungry :( This sucks.I wish I were never hungry. Then I wouldn't eat. Then I wouldn't be so fat and gross and ugly :( Or...I wish I had an incredibly high metabolism rate. Then I could eat all I want and never get fat. Ha.Maybe I'm just being shallow. Or silly. Or overly sensitive. Why do comments get to me? Ho well...just my thoughts for now. Wow I'm actually typing personally

It's such a beautiful day. The temperature actually went up to double digits! I only had to wear a sweatshirt (over PJs haha) to class. In math class, everyone was begging the teacher to let us out early..but she didn't. Point is, it's so gorgeous out woooo good weather makes me hairpee :)

So my econ and french quizzes are over. How I did on them is another story altogether. The point is, I can take a breather now (before starting on math :( ). I've been so fortunate since coming here.

I made a few pronunciation errors, but she said that it was interesting, that I was well-prepared and grammar-perfect. Thank you for all the help :) Also, she said that I never speak up in class, and said that I might

So today I was sitting, bored silly, in Shakespeare class while my teacher droned on about sexual innuendos. I was twirling my pen and when I got back and looked in the mirror, my cheek was adorned with blue pen-marks. Bee-yoo-ti-ful.

It'd been a long week. This weekend was so welcome and hasn't disappointed at all, especially the absolutely wonderful lobster dinner at Anthony's Pier yesterday. I actually did study at the library today, but when Korean Boy and I went back to Hill for a take-out dinner, the library closed with our books still there -_- (at least they all go to the front desk to be picked up tmr morning).

Celebrated New Year's Eve at the Esplanade with Ken and later Yax, her friend Sheng Rong, Pam and Gillian. It was packed with perspiring riotous revellers (read: mats/minahs/bengs/lians) who sprayed foam from cans at passers-by. The foam made me appreciate the presence of real snow in Boston. The lights were gorgeous and so was the amazing fireworks display that started at the stroke of midnight

I've had so many take-out dinners over the past few days, just because bad dining hall food, coupled with the biting cold, is far from incentive for me to trudge outside. Rose's for two nights, and WingWorks for a third. That was made interesting by Min-Seok, or Korean Boy as I prefer to call him. He had this brilliant idea of turning it into a makeshift picnic. He found a tablecloth from the

I went to watch the Naked Quad Run last night. For those who aren't in the know, it's an annual tradition at Tufts that commemmorates the last day of classes in Fall where people get stark raving naked and run around the academic quad in the snow. It was the first time that I'd ever seen any show of real school spirit...the crowd of spectators and 'cheerleaders' were so loud and boisterous that I

The weatherman has officially gone off his rocker!! Who's ever heard of a thunderstorm with frighteningly heavy snow, fog walls and wind so strong you can't open your eyes? I'm not exaggerating at all, it was probably even worse than that. And clever me forgot my gloves while making my way to French. I was late for class and only one person was already there. The rest arrived as blocks of

I had shepherd's pie and a slice of Godiva chocolate cheesecake. Perfection. Dwaine has never heard of shepherd's

pretty much sums up my weekend. Finally met up with Pey and Mark after the 4 hr bus ride there. I was so glad that Tom happened to be going down that weekend too, so I had company there and back. It was pretty warm there, warmer than in Boston anyway. After Mark left us at Grand Central Station on Friday night, Pey and I got lost on the subway at like 1.30am. Not too fun.Shopped and ate Saturday

The first snow fell today! It was really really pretty, but it got so heavy to the point of being frightening. I'm in the hotel with Daddy now, I'm so happy to see him :) We went to get food at Chinatown (seafood crispy noodles!) but it started snowing, so we just brought it back to the room. I read for a bit until the snow stopped, then we went across the road to Cambridge Side Galleria to get

I hate midterms. I just found out that I have a Grimms' one next week- just when I was rejoicing over the end of my horrible IR one. That was so bad. But it's not like I'm not used to doing badly anyway. Just another notch to add to my belt. Why is it so cold?? It's about 4 degrees celcius every night now. And abt 7 in the day. I'm not made for this!! Plus, it rains so much too. I'm going to melt

She even gave me some anti-itching cream too. She's really nice. This can't go on though, I'm going to the health services tomorrow. I still have no idea why my skin is misbehaving like this.

Most of the people who attend are Asian American, so it's quite a comfortable community. I'm glad. Jon, Charlotte and Pauline are attending it with me, maybe Tom too. It was Charlotte's older sister who recommended

I went for a free concert in Government Square, Boston, today. Finch and Cake were performing! We lost Jon on the way there though, he got us on the wrong train then hopped off, and before we had time to

Owell, I get credits for reading cool books and watching fairy tale films.French was better today too...thank you so much for the help, Charlotte!I was more homesick yesterday night than I'd ever been since I got here.

2005-09-06T18:39:00.000-04:00

My French class sucks. I thought French 1 was supposed to assume no prior knowledge of the language was required, but they just dump a bunch of French homework in your lap and tell you to hand it in the next day? Something's not right when the entire class comes out not knowing what had just happened in there.

It was only okay, I had two Jell-O vodka shots and some horrid tasting beer. My friends got pretty drunk though, some people were wild, but I was more or less trying to watch out for Charlotte the whole time. She's such a

For the first time in my deprived little life, I watched Edward Scissorhands on Sunday night with the Teos. I am even more in love with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton now. What a fantastic pairing. What a fantastic movie. I can't imagine how I waited so long before watching it.I had my Swedish meatballs (with no cranberry sauce) at Ikea yesterday! Fantastic stuff. Went sneaker-shopping after that. I

I met Prawn Lim and Coreen for lunch/shopping today. Miss Tang stood us up. Blood is evidently thicker than water. But it was fun nonetheless, I enjoyed catching up. I hadn't seen Shaun in eons!I bought two tees- one with my favourite skunk (Pepi Le Pew) on it and the other one which said The Enchanted Broccoli. I love it. Totally random and out of point.I'm extremely hungry now.I have to buy

Gluttony

2005-07-24T11:09:00.000-04:00

I have just consumed a shameful quantity of food. And I will pay, very soon. In pounds, of leaps and bounds, no less. Oh, but it was so good. I ate innumerable golden-brown man tous, chilli and 'fragrant' Sri Lankan (read: ginormousss) crabs, black pepper beef, fish, prawn, scallop and tofu. It wasn't my fault really, those crabs were just begging to be eaten. I could read their minds, and their

Handwriting Speaks Volumes (Or Does It?)

Isabelle has a very unusual lower zone y loop. If the data input is correct, Isabelle's y or g is large and opens up to the left side of the page. This is not a common trait, but the implications are very interesting. As you begin to study handwriting analysis, you will learn any loop indicates imagination. This lower loop indicates the amount of imagination Isabelle has regarding sex and

The Musically Uninclined

2005-07-12T11:51:00.000-04:00

That's me. And maybe Yaxin. Uncle Chu Chong declared the first service worship session as 'one of the worst in our 15 years of playing together'. Incidentally, it was mine and Yaxin's debut for many Sunday services to come. They threw me a solo. Which had actually gone slightly better than I'd expected. Anyhow, Yax forgot to come back for second service. She rushed in and clambered onto the stage

Thank you Yax for being so patient with your unabashedly IT-impaired friend. I chose this template which happened to be very user-unfriendly and my wonderful bestfrennn was nice enough to forgo part of her tennis game (and breakfast, as I read from my tagboard) to put it up for me because my other one went screwy. But I managed to do the links and tagboard myself. I love it!I just barked at my

I went to Gleneagles for two jabs today. One was for meningocococococooccococitis or something along that line, and the other was a blood test. I like Dr. Yip. He's super funny. He sang while jabbing the needle into my arm again. Next week, I have to go back to get a TB test done, as well as three doses of Hep B :( Feels like Thaipusam.*The first time I underwent a blood test, I was twelve, and

I'm too lazy to recount this, so I ripped it off Michelle's blog. This was what happened two (or three?) nights ago. Obviously from my dear sister's P.O.V.*Last night/this morning, after my bath, I was about to leave the bathroom when a movement caught my eye and I turned slightly- and lo, I beheld a modern-day dinosaur languishing on the bathtub's edge. Being absolutely terrified of lizards (and

A new culture or familiarity? Amelikkkaaaaa or Singapore? To get into both was a huge shocker, now it's a dilemma. But a good one nonetheless.

This should be the happiest time of my life. And it is.

Why is it that I feel myself grappling to fill

Shagged, dragged (down by luggage) and jetlagged. The results of my relatively long-haul flight home. The trip was well worth it though. Awesome. My third trip to that beautiful country was as good as the first two. Pics will be up as soon as I locate my evasive USB cable which I strongly suspect my maid of using as a clothes line.

I never thought I'd be able to shop for four whole days in a row. But we all did, and survived! Bangkok was incredibly fun. Baht felt like monopoly money, bargaining was a cheap thrill, food was amazingly cheap. Everything was so unlimited and unsupervised. Running out of cash? No problem, just changed more money. Tired? Walked back to Pathuwan and took breaks in the hotel room. Bored? Never.
