Nerdo?

the past week flew by, well actually, school is just flying by...i mean already 7th week, so i'm half way through my first semester!!! i got all my test results back last week, i'm off to a good start! haha, praise Jesus! hopefully...no, i WILL keep this up! i haven't gotten "pretty" grades in so long...haha anyways, weekend run down!

friday: yaf without adults (yes!), it was alright...group was so tiny, hahaha, i really enjoy fellowshipping with the kids from yaf, but i kinda wanna find a white fellowship for me to join...i'd still go to yaf, but i want something else too...i'll see, gotta keep on praying~ after yaf, we had practice, it was hectic and i realized at the end it was cause we didn't start out with prayer! it's funny how such a little thing can be so powerful, so fail on our part. then came back to dorm, skypped with beloved anita and anthony (i forgot to put it on full screen before taking a screenshot...hahaha, he was SO cute tho~) then after that, i skypped with yixuan and tracy till 430am...<3

saturday: woke up at 645am cause i was supposed to go play basketball with 3 boys at 7am, but they texted and said 730, so i slept till 720...went and played bball...IT WAS SO COLD! but, it was fun, hahaha...then mcdonalds for breakfast, then came back and talked to mom for half an hr (-sigh-, would've been so much longer if it wasn't an international call...=/) then sometime later, took a nap for 4 hrs =D...then wasted my night away...

sunday: church - played for worship and taught youth group sunday school, went to apts to bake a cake (i miss all my baking materials...it was so much harder without everything...), celebrated chia-wen shushu's bday, the kids put on skits, i was the camera-woman...then came back to dorms and wanted to cry...hahaha, because i procrastinated so much saturday that i had homework left to do at 1030pm sunday, i didn't even have a lot of stuff, but i freaked out cause i KNOW i had time to do it saturday...the weird thing was, all of senior year i was so used to that kind of living, i didn't care, but now that i'm actually TRYING in school, i freak out about things like that...hm.

i really miss my mommy, she should never go out of country for so long...it makes me sad. =(

Jiow's Night Out

Regardless of what others are choosing to call my friday night, i'm still gonna call it Jiow's Night Out. So on friday, we didn't have yaf this week cause we were gonna go apple picking/fall color tour saturday morning...i asked Yang if he could take me to the mall, but he was gonna be super busy, so instead, the Navy Honda Civic car keys were handed to me! (actually, he didn't wanna explain to me how to get to the mall, so he drove me there and wanted to walk back, but i said i wouldn't allow it, so he drove me to the mall, i drove him back, and drove back to the mall...good thing mall is less than 1mi away...) the mall was really small, but it was sufficient, as in the stores i usually shop at were all there...except for A&F, but that's ok, i can't afford anything without my mommy anyways...hahaha so after shopping at the mall i went to Kohls and Target and "harvest" of the night: Band Aids from Target! hahaha, i ended up not getting anything from anywhere because 1) the stuff i actually wanted were too expensive/not on sale 2) the stuff that were on sale were just stuff i wanted and not needed 3) without a job, i feel guilty spending money...so after shopping, i went and treated myself to a very delicious bowl of Chipotle, boy, was i satisfied! after that, i drove around a bit more, just cause i had a car, so might as well...haha (no worries, i filled up his tank before giving it back) then later on that night 5 of us went to Culver's and it was entertaining, i don't really remember what was done/said i just remember it being a funny hang out...the rest of the night is unimportant.

saturday: woke up early to go pick apples (i drove yang's car again, cause he didn't go)...it was so cold...if you guys ever visit me, even though they say it's a "michigan must" we're not doing it. the fall color tour was beautiful tho! i loved the colors and the sky was beautiful that day!!! praise Jeebus! =D then later that night we went to downtown g-rapids to eat a asian restaurant, the only reason i was persuaded to go was cause i checked out the menu before hand online and saw abuncha southeast asian foods and was like ALRIGHT I'M GOING! i got curry! yay! that made me happy, i mean it wasn't as good as mom's/malaysia, but being able to taste curry just makes me happy, thank you Jesus! then after dinner we went to Carson's to play Rockband, that made me happy too! hahaha, it was a good night...

sunday: typical church day, it was funny hearing Pastor Ting mention "lee dao hong mu shi" cause i'm like puahahaha, i know that dood. anyways, then it was back to dorms to do hw...so nothing exciting. but weekend was good overall, mainly cause i got to drive so much =D

It's getting colder and colder here, BUT i'm not complaining (yet.) i'm actually rather enjoying it, and i'm not just saying it to make myself believe it, i really am enjoying it SO FAR...so that's a plus! also, i realize that i'm getting dumber and dumber...not school wise cause there was already no hope...hahaha, i think the problem is that my other half is usually the dumb one and without her here, i have to bear the burden of being the dumb one too...maybe that's why she's being so smart over there too because she has to take on the responsibility of being a smart person too...please, let us reunite. we complete each other =P (you know i only play play ;) ) ok, i'm done, this is possibly the fastest i've ever written an entry...quite surprised.

"Short" Entry

been slacking on these blog posts cause i've been doing hand written entries in my journal! hahaha, anyways, a quick weekend update.

Friday: had pot luck at yaf for moon festival celebration, after that had worship practice, then went to enoch's for "sleepover", which really meant eating party...haha but i had self control and did NOT eat, because i do not want freshmen 15/look like a gugu! =O

Saturday: was woken up at 10am, went to go play bball, lunch at Ichiban (eh...), came back, pooped around, studied for religion, blah blah, bed

Sunday: church, played piano, hard to understand sermon (the canton accent completely threw me off), signed up to teach children sunday school, it'll be interesting cause i signed up for the young kids, and i haven't taught that class in a few years ><, then we went to Yang/Alex/Chia-Wen's to cook, watched Stephen Chow's movie, went out to buy some stuff, GOT A STARBUCKS (haha, but no cool kids to get it with =/ and i had to get a hot drink) ate dinner, watched funny/stupid videos on youtube, blah blah, end.

anyways, this week i have 3 exams, i already finished 2, and i've got one more friday...i'm pretty sure i owned the religion exam, haha, it wasn't "easy", but i knew my stuff PLUS i studied! and had the math test today, i'm not SUPER confident, but i know i didn't do bad...i'm not that sure bout friday's oral rhetoric written test tho, will have to do some extra studying...uhm, also, on monday my grandpa passed away in malaysia...i was really sad when i first found out, but now, i'm "happy", as in i know this is so much better, for his health condition and his "memory" this is so much better for him and for the aunts...plus, we know where he's at ;)

on a side note, i'm SUPER excited for winter break, i can't wait to go home! i really miss my girls....haha and my GIRL, ANITA <3!!! then, if everything works out (pray pray pray!) i'm super excited for spring semester! hahaha, but that's all i'm saying. life has been good tho, God has been awesome, everything's been taken care of, He's in control and it's awesome to know He's by my side =D
