DISQUS

aiyah..so long no post...kenot tahan....suffering from pinkpau's blog withdrawal syndrome already!

cant say i know what you are facing but i can wrap you in a
((hug)).

cant say i understand but i can say i ~feel~ for you.

hang-in-there for blue skies as dark clouds dont stay forever.

warh ..warh...such infectious enthusiasm from no 40.!
huh..pau jambu merah, u got urself a job! do a great one.

right doing homewk! bet ur alternating btw 3 mins homewk and 3 hrs hp, then 3 mins calculus book and next 3 hrs macbook. ..plus minus 1% error, right?

@ 70
hahaha..feel sorry for "them' so limited knowledge abt asia. probably the difference is the ppl u talked to? pinkpau talked to a bunch of cool ppl from a highly political active/conscious college.

mitchelle is good, obama shdl be better tonite. check out youtube his 2004 dnc speech when he made his mark. there are claims now that he is lost without a teleprompter. i notice that many americans, politicians esp are great orators. even, the majority of ordinary folks that i run into speak well! pls note, i’m not idolizing americans, just giving credit when it’s due..
p/s
our ‘takeaway’ is their ‘takeout’, when things are ready they say “you are good to go”, hardly a simple ‘yes’ always a passionately ‘absolutely’ and “have a good one !” is good for all partings! you’ll learn by and by.. enjoy!

@ 61 - gosh

you are a sad case. oh gosh! still i wish you all the best.

yeah!! come quickly!

sorry arrr..testing..cannot seem to get my comment posted.

u liberated urself & possibly motivated others too by taking the high-road out of this fiasco. just looking at ur bunch of great friends speaks volume about u. this is such an encouraging post! esp after recent endless rounds of blogs & comments in blogsphere which manifested the venom in many. sad too to that some are so bent on taking the low-road. it is refreshing to listen to the voice of good. love those big happy smiles all round :)

cheers!!

hey, these are signs of ur emotional countdown to leaving home - vacillating btw sadness & excitement, torn btw dependence & independence, overwhelmed with doing too much yet not doing enough…

No 14 - hold lots of wisdom and truth esp "acknowledge that you’re worthy and treat every kindness as a loan. pay it forward, pass it on, and don’t forget to pass it back "

No 16 - the oreo thingy is probably triggering separation anxiety or pre-departure homesickness and the emotional rollercoaster which she may not be aware but definitely riding throughout the video...

Pinkpau, "Just do your best and leave the rest"

imagine a world of teacher Ms Pinkpau, Cik Pinkpau or Youth Pastor Pinkpau! ..hehehe...

wahliao...dun u get 'motivated' by ur numerous grateful readers to be a motivational writer/speaker?... u relly rock lerr ! .... mere twist n turn of ur pen/fingers .....ur bitter, sweet or sour memories also can inspire other ppl !

lol.. since being active in extra-curricular activities helps in applying to US unis, then why not include "A noob's guide to choosing the right extra-curricular activities". oh and the guide to climbing mt kinabalu sounds cool! :)

ok..finally... here goes..
way to go girl ! your blog posts are always cool in a contemporary way yet refined. i just read a similar blog post which makes me squirm a lttle ..."nicolekiss" .. offering free hugs and kisses indeed! kind of demeaning... no wonder it is attracting a lot of crude comments. of course i do not endorse such comments. just happy to note that you are a class above despite your young age.

hmmm..why my comment does not appear despite repeated attempts..

oh ya..you guys are a tad jealous too.. dont be...learn to rejoice.... life will be sweeter..trust me..

46. go to hell & 49. chimera

feel sorry for you guys. life has been giving bad deals huh? learn to be contented. you sure sound bitter & sour. or perhaps i am jumping into conclusions about you just like you about pinkpau?

back to the 3 basics and a simple healthy lifestyle, they are inter-related.
- eat healthy real food & drink plenty of water
- exercise regularly such as walking and swimming, not fingers dancing on keyboard only
- sleep is a biological need not your personal choice, musnt screw it further with pills.

good to know that you have decided. so from now onwards let's talk about packing! it is no mean feat deciding what to put in the lmited baggage allowance. it could be as 'excruciatingly challenging' as deciding between the colleges..hehehe..enjoy!

wow! double wow!! you're a blessed gal, and a great one too, judging from the deep interest and genuine concern shown regarding your well being. so many, so much and so heartwarming. and now the winner is ...... !

there are 3 chinese supermarkets in philadelphia area, 2 korean marts where you can get rice cookers, at least one indian store that i know to get frozen roti canai and there are the chinatowns. why deliberate for so long? come to Upenn lerr, afterall you can always switch or transfer to NY later. not a problem at all if your grades are good and from an ivy. see the strategy? hehehe

quotes:-

15. sharon "it could be human nature to deliberately pick fights ....with those we love when we know it’s almost time to part " - i agree with her. it does happen without us realising so we must consciously try to avoid this.

69. michellesy "like that plummeting feeling ....…and it’s time to do it, for real" - again this is very true, just have to be brave.

69. michellesy " have that last plate of char koay teow for a very long time." - this is not a concern if u go to PA as PENANG in PA offers a wide range of m'sian food as good as m'sia at a doable price. but the branch in NY is pricey and the food not authentic. not sure about the one is boston. the link for those who are interested.

quotes:-
"4 years is a long time"..very long
"America is far away"...indeed far
" i keep telling myself it will be worth it" .. definately.

i would just add that at times it would be really tough BUT doable and worthwhile.

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so happy for you. as usual, i was just cyber snooping around and ran into chen chow's link (66) and read his latest post. you are su ann right? duh! yeah! wheee!!! :)
