food, fun & friends

food! yup, have been having so much good food lately. besides that, i also had lots of fun with my friends!!! Elaine came to tulsa this weekend and we hung out, together with Jeanette, lynnette, ann and edward. We went to asahi for dinner and the sushi was amazingly good! reminds me of sushi tei back home :) We had sake (raw salmon just in case u were wondering abt sakae), and it was such a tiny piece! i ate it in one bite! ahhh... i just realized that i've not had sushi for months! i'm serious.... i think the last time i ate sushi was in Aug 05. oh my... anyway, after dinner, we went to starbucks and started playing cardgames! love it! feel like a kid again. We laughed so hard and so LOUD! haha... that's not the end of our 'program' coz we went for movies after that... it was just a whole night of recreation. haha...

It feels really good to hang out with a bunch of good friends. People whom i can relate to, and understand me. It feels like i'm at home again... minus the cold of course. haha.. Hope all of u guys had fun too!

brrr... i'm cold

yupz... it's snowing in tulsa! ahh! Have been hiding in my room to stay away from the cold. Well, it looks really pretty though, but am not happy that i'm trapped!!! haha.. Have been having "eileen's-time" where i just relax and do what i want to do... like surfing the net and chatting with my friends. :) stay-warm, ppl.

Vday!

Hey Happy Valentine's!

wow... this year's valentine seemed so crazy! Everyone was shopping! I heard that more than 4million dollars was spent in US for Vday this year. I went to walmart the eve on Vday to get my guardian, Ms Rivers (the lady i work with) a little gift. I walked towards the Vday aisle, and it was PACKED! I have to "squeeze" myself in so that i can grab a little paperbag for the gift! I wanted to get her a little piece of Vday Reese's choc, but guess what? they were OUT! gosh.. Then i started looking for other types of choc, but all the nice choc were gone... so i got her something else. Checking out was horrible too. I stood in line for >10min. ahh!! All the lines were SUPER long! have never experienced such crazy Vday shopping!

On Vday day itself, lots of girls on campus had balloons and flowers! it's not this crazy in S'pore (i think) and it was just really nice to see people smiling! :) Ms Rivers was so happy that i got her a gift, and she took me out to Panera for lunch! haha.. yummy sourdough soupbowl w broccoli cheddar soup. so good! That made my day! I checked my CPO twice that day :( hoping to find a gift from Mr Justin tan, but didn't have any! was disappointed and became mean to him (ask him, he'll tell u more) :p But guess what? i received my package today! yeh!! *jumpjump* too happy... couldn't stop smiling at the lady in post office. Thanks honey!

alright.. hope u guys n gals had a wonderful vday too! Tell me more about how u spend ur day too!

Freedom rocks!

That's us in Elephant Bar!

I've been spending more time with the girls on my floor! I love all of them! We went to elephant bar last week and it was sooooo good. It's a restaurant that serves both Asian and American food. Yummy! We had frozen custard after that and then starbucks! hehe... i was so stuffed after that. gosh! We rented a movie and we didnt finish it till about 1am. We were so tired but it was a really fun evening!

We had a little "room warming" party in linda's room last night. We made Pizza together and ate in Linda's room. The pizza was yummy! Linda made the crust and we added lots of cheese, ham, pepperoni, minced beef, onions, pepper and mushrooms. ahh... makes me hungry now :) We had a wonderful time of chatting and laughing! The people on my floor are just amazing! Everyone's so real, sincere and nice. It's like a big loving family! They make me feel safe, loved, special and i can just be who i am with them! I do not have to put up a front, i do not have to feel awkward, coz they understand. They just love me the way i am. I'm gonna miss them so much after i graduate. :(

Anyway, am really blessed to be on FREEDOM! This is where i'm free from worries & weariness.
