oklahoma is COLD

hello..ok i spent nearly an hr uploading all these pictures..so many la!! there are still quite a lot mofe but im lazy to upload anymore le..starts from the first day when we boarded that dreaded 21 hr plane ride all the way till today when we started our first day of school..


actually on a closer look, this looks like the airport in denver rather than changi airport..opps! aiya dun care la..we are all tired and look deranged..hair super oily cos we haf been flying for almost a day, 24 hrs out! all that pressure from being on 3 planes is horrible..

this was on the 13 hr flight from hk to LA..abt halfway thru and we were all complaining abt it alr..had nothing to do and the cup noodles really cheered us up..as u can see from mr lee's face..

scene from the plane..

SUPER SLEEPY..i tink it was abt 2am in the morning in spore but like 4pm in LA..

FINALLY reached oklahoma and this is our residence! quite big rite, its a hotel but we stayed in penthouses, which is like 2 stories high and looks like a cosy little home..

this is the interior of our house..

went penn square mall, which was the only shopping mall anywhere near us to shop!!! haha all the things are not that cheap la..i tink its ok lor..abt the same as singapore..

the only store that u can never find in spore!!! hehehehe who wans the stuff from there? i can take orders if its not too heavy on my luggage..

all the stuff we bought on that first day..so exciting!!

went school for orientation on sunday!!

WAL-MART!!

HELLO!

ive reached ocu!! the flight was terrible and i really dun wana come back to US again if possible..had really bad motion sickness halfway on the 13 hr flight and i was juz praying to god to end the ordeal..there was horrible tubulances (is that how u spell it) for like 15 mins, and dear was scaring me out cos she was squeezing my arm so badly..but i fell asleep after like 5 mins..

but that was den that i realised that rite, on an airplane, u really got nothing else u can do except to entrust ur lives into the hands of god..yes, the pilot might be controlling, but, if the weather is really bad, wat can the pilot do? was getting scared cos like, it was really bad haha..but god reminded me that the solution to all my fears and questions is his presence..so i learnt something den haha..

and on the flight to oklahoma, i was looking outta the window when i saw the most amazing sight i haf ever seen in my life..the dark night was filled, FILLED, with stars..they were all over the place..up,side, bottom..everywhere..i even saw a like, meteor looking rock thing amongst the stars..it was breathtakingly beautiful..clusters of stars, individuals..they were all over the place..reminded me of this song..

did u rise the sun for me?
paint the million stars that i might know ur majesty?

or something like that..haha i totally got it when i saw those stars..reminded me of god's majesty and his greatness and presence..wow..nxt time when u haf a window seat on a night flight, do take a look out at the sky..

beautiful..thank you lord :)

ready, set, go!

yes! finally finished packing! gosh im so not a details person..wat do u call that personality type? melachonic or something i guess..im juz not that ok..i made a list of wat i had to bring..and i really really tot of wat i would need..den i called adel, and she came up with one whole bunch of things which never ever crossed my mind before! like socks, and goggles..gosh, i need a detailed husband in future..so if u are not as detailed as me, or worse than me..no need to apply le..HAHA..kidding..

im looking forward to ocu..but im not looking forward to the plane ride :( 21 hrs of it..sounds horrible..but on the other hand, its 21 hrs with the jackies..spastic-ness, lame-ness, vulgarities and nonsense may lead to a time of frustration or quarrles, but the more likely scenario is that we would haf 21 hrs of pure fun :D i hope living together doesnt change anything of the jackies u know..cos when u live together, den u ll find out all those nitty gritty irritating stuff abt one another..

emu's my roommate while im there! pls pray i dun get influenced by her expletives man..

wow, am so gonna miss everyone when im there..i tot it was only for a month so its not gonne be anything much..but tinking abt it now..it seems like a long time..i will try my best to find pressies for u all..ut dun expect anything ok..cos no expectations lead to surprises!! Hhhahha..and, i really tink, i will miss my cg when im there :(

i rmbed wat i wanted to type on monday already..its abt mi meeting xuanting for dinner..i loved that time spent! ting is really a damn funny and auntie gurl..im glad god put u in my life as a sheep and fren..cos i never regretted knowing you..yes, frenships are not based on the frequency of meeting..im starting to see more into that now..its starting to make sense :)

hey claire..am sad we couldnt meet up before i fly..so we haf to meet up aft i come back..i still haf to celebrate ur bday with u :D dun get into too m uch trouble alright? wait for mi to come back first! haha..and sinyee! so sad u cant stayover today..study hard alright!! i ll see ya when im back!!

happenings

yoyo! gosh i really need to sleep soon..gotta catch up on my sleep man!! haha..well, today was a superly wonderful day and im so missing it alr..i got to go out with some of my dearest frens in my life before i fly off on fri..haaha tho i see u guys like every now and then, we seldom talk or hang out cos we are busy with our own lives..so today was a wonderful opportunity indeed :D

winnie said that today was really comfortable and relaxing, juz like old times..and i agree..hmmm nxt time in heaven, we shld haf this kind of gatherings more often..im sure we would haf a lot of time to do that in future! oh gosh, this is something that i really look forward to!

thanks to jiehui for planning the event..mr zi cha king brought us to eat seafood near pierce reserviour..tks to nick for driving us ard tonight..tks to key for spending time to make that book thing, i can see ur effort in trying to be creative, and i appreciate it loads..and tks to my cg for coming out today..cos i love spending time with u guys :D but sad, harry's in camp again!

random pictures of us today..i didnt take a lot cos we were busy eating the wonderful food..i said byebye to my no carbs diet today..oh gosh, chilli crab!! super yummy..its some ban lok seafood thing, dunno whether i got it rite..u guys can go there and try it! not bad..


angela and me before the food came..and yes! i got a new hair color! exciting! its not as golden as the previous one i got..i wanted to get something like yang cheng lin's one! but i dunno wats her color called..maybe i ll get that the nxt time..

the food! chilli crab still haven came..but the mantou looks damn tantalizing alr la! we, no actually jiehui, ordered all these food..the tie ban toufu was a bit different from the normal one..its kinda watery compared to the rest..not saying its not nice, juz different..and yes! we ordered black pepper crab as well!

tip from mr zicha king: nxt time when u eat zicha, dun order kangkong..cos its very oily and costs cheaper than the price its sold and not healthy..try some other veg like xiao kailan..the green thing over at the far end..its way better..

forgot to take a pic of the chilli crab when it came..these are the remnents of it, which soon went into daniel's stomach..

brought sparkling juice over and the guys were making a big hooha abt how they shld open the thing..haha, its always like this..the guys would be involved in some big discussion abt some random stuff, usually of utmost imptance to them..while the gurls would be hearing the discussion while doing their own stuff, usually eating., which is of utmost imptance to us.happens all the time..no wonder winnie said it was like the old days..a kind of comfortable situation that would occur and everyone knows things are fine..

when we are together, the world could end, and i wouldnt care..

but on the other hand, i hope the world doesnt end so soon..cos there are a lot of ppl out there who stills needs to be saved by jesus :D

met gideon debbie yihui and dingquan at amk macs..they were studying for their exams..before i left, sheepmate asked to take a foto together! haha sheepmate!! u are really very funny la..i haf to get to know u more man..

below are fotos of jackies the time we went to sentosa for our outing..

my hair seems to be darker that time..gosh, fades so fast!

thin babes :D

and finally, a pic of one of my fav animals!! the turtle! so cute rite!! hahaha...

alright sleep time..hafta pack for US tml..nitez!
