Getaway!

hmm.. Ann ( my best friend cum roomie) & I went to Oklahoma city yesterday! :) lots of fun. haha. my definition. We didnt get to sightsee too much coz there aint nothing to see anyway! :p We mapquest-ed in the morning n left! It was an adventure.. we had fun chatting along the way, and finally making our way to the HUGE asian store. We drank our fav bubble tea and shopped! Oh wait.. we actually went to the OKC memorial first.. the site where the OKC bombing happened.. we took a couple pictures n left..
We saw an old lady crying as she looked at the pictures... hmm.. so sad :( Anyway, we thought it was pretty meaningful to be there over memorial weekend.

The Asian store was the highlight of the trip. We bought so much food n were overly excited over every single type of food.. I picked up a packet of Do-Do fishball and screamed to ann "This is made in Singapore!!!!" I haven't had it for long time!!!" Of course.. she laughed and said "u're crazy!!"

I bought dumplings (potstickers), nian rong bao, noodles, "tau pok" & other ingredients for the Vietnamese spring roll! so happy.. feels like home again when surrounded by familiar food. :)

My plan for tml is to make the spring roll.. or laksa.. hmm... *drool* Why am i always talking about food? I have no idea.. it's becoming my passion... sigh! why do i have to submit to my mentor's cult? i'm a true pamelonian pamelongelist.

Summer's here!

oh boy... hothothot.. it's been SO hot here in this wonderful land of Oklahoma.. my ORU friends who have stayed for the summer would totally understand this crazy oven-like weather.. it's a high of 95F today.. which is about 35C. I feel like a grilled fish after taking a walk out there.. my skin is protesting... look like a red snapper now. Well, i guess pam would not agree with me on that coz she's big on that forehead thing, n i'll still look like luohan to her.. anyway... my point still being that it is way hot here. But the bad thing about this hot weather is that places that are indoors BLAST their air to the MAX! I freeze indoor n melt outdoors.

hmm.. well.. i guess i'm preparing myself for Singapore in this hot weather. :) How's the weather there?? Can't stop telling everyone that i'm going home soon! haha. So excited.

Oh.. and i'm so proud of myself for overcoming the fear of dogs! haha. Coz i went to Renannah's apartment yesterday.. and she has a German Shepherd that weighs about 60-80 Lbs. Reuben is his name. Gosh.. he was darting around and hey..i wasn't freaking out as i used to.. :) But huhz.. cats, it's still haunting me. There was a cat in the parking lot yesterday, and it stared at me as i was walking by.. so i stared back, and it began to walk towards me.. then it ran! So i screamed for Ann to come help me!! Well, Ann ran in an opposite direction! Boy i was scared. The silly cat apparently got a shock from my screaming and ran into the bushed and hid. When will i overcome this? ahhhh.... the devil is a liar! :p

I graduated!!

Yes i did.. kinda.. will be goin HOME after i'm done with my internship!

we had our hooding ceremony in a Church, and it was really nice. I loved it and had so much fun! jackie's & her parents, ann, donna and laura were there too! My favorite part of my graduation was the little homely graduation party i had with jeanette and her family! We had so much Singapore food and some yummy desserts made by Aunty victoria and Mema (the host family). I love Jeanette's family. They are all so sweet and loving, and of course, i fit right in! We had a short worship, sharing and prayers. It ended with a sad goodbye scene coz it'll be a while before i get to see jeanette again. And for Ann, it was the last for a long time... Goodbyes are always sad. :(

Anywayz...It feels GREAT to graduate, knowing that it's OVER and no more studying for a while. I can't say that yet coz i still need to write papers for the internship! but ya.. that'll come true very soon. God is good. He carried me through... from the beginning till the end of my stay in ORU. I'm thankful for friends and people i meet here... started crying the other day when i say bye to some of my friends, whom i know i'll not see for a longlong time :'( It's really a bittersweet feeling...

I'll be home in a couple months. And u bet i'm looking forward to that! hmm.. somebody better watch out!! :p
