Recently SUA had an alumni that came back to the university to share with us his experiences after graduation. I always worry about my future especially with what I'm studying right now. Even though I love what I study and everything. Sometimes it bugs me that society only rewards people with a professional degree like engineering, and law, just to give some examples. What I have is a Liberal Arts degree.
Who would want that?
But listening to the student share his experience really gave me hope that I can actually do something of a substance in the future. Of course money is important. I definitely wanna do something that will able to help the community but at the same time, I have to be realistic too right? I still need to put food on the table.
He actually went to a graduate school to study Peace and Conflict Resolution. And during the summer, he even went to Palestine for an internship. For some weird reason, I always dream about going to Palestine one day, and imagine doing an internship there! I don't know why Palestine. I mean, you might ask, why wouldn't I dream of going to Europe, or some pretty Western country?
All developed countries are all the same. They have high technological stuff, and their people only care about making more money! And coming from a Muslim country, I always had a soft spot for the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I may sound really idealistic and naive, but one day, I will be able to work in Palestine, even for a summer. =)
Did you know that Malaysians can't go into Israel? Urgh.. I don't know whether to jump for joy in support of it or cry of frustration. On one hand, I totally agree with Malaysia for supporting Palestine and condemming Israel for its actions. But after so many years of conflict, both sides are equally guilty. And Malaysia shouldn't ban ALL Malaysians from entering Israel as a country, and vice versa. Its the government that is at fault here. Not the people itself.
Sigh.. We need some change of attitude of those people up there! =.=
My point is, although I know the future is kinda bleak especially with the economic crisis and everything, somehow, I'm still hopeful that I'll be able to find a job that pays me well but at the same time, give me satisfaction that I am helping the society.
I hope the world does not change me into a pessimistic person.

Are you an International Person?
You know you are international when...
You cant answer the question "where are you from?".
(Actually I can proudly say I'm from Malaysia)
You speak two or more languages, but cant spell in any of them.
(This is true though. I suck at Mandarin! Boohoo.. But I can speak Japanese and Spanish now!)
You flew before you could walk.
(My mum always tells me I flew when I was 1 month old!)
You have a passport, but no drivers license.
(I do. Both Malaysian and Californian license.)
You have an time zone map next to your telephone.
(Its stored in my memory)
You dont know where home is.
(Vietnam? Malaysia?)
You sort your friends by continent.
(We'll never see each other again.. >.<)
Someone brings up the name of a team and you get the sport wrong.
(I suck at sports so.. )
You know there is no such thing as an international language.
(Yeap! Take that Americans!)
Your second major is in a foreign language you already speak.
(Nah.. I don't wanna do that..)
You realize it really is a small world, after all.
(Sometimes. Not often though..)
Your wardrobe can only handle two seasons: wet and dry.
(Tell me about it! Hate 4 seasons!)
Your high school memories include those days that school was cancelled due to tear gas, riots, demonstrations, bomb scares or flooding.
(Flooding did happen once. But that's all)
You think VISA is a document stamped in your passport, and not a plastic card that you carry in your wallet.
(Isn't that true?)
You automatically take off your shoes as soon as you get home.
(Em.. of course. Home is suppose to be clean!)
You know the geography of the rest of the world, but you dont know the geography or your own country.
(Actually I do)
You actually go to your 'HOME' country for summer holidays.
(Right now yeah.)
No matter what people tell you, you'll never drink TAP WATER!
(Yeah. Don't know why)
You speak English, that English people understand, but not REAL English, English that you grew up in.
You cant answer the question "where are you from?".

Friends make everything special..
I was kinda preparing to stay in my room on my 21st birthday. Not that I was complaining or anything but I think society has sort of put an expectation on one's 21st birthday celebration. Don't ya think so?
That just because you have reached 21, that it is your 21st birthday, you must have a big celebration, a 3 days 3 nights thing, with you getting all wasted because you're finally legal to drink..
And if you stay in your room the whole day, that means you have NO LIFE!!!!
Not that I'm implying anyone who doesn't have that kinda birthdays are losers but this is what children are fed of since they were young.
Though my birthday didn't include me clubbing the whole night and being all wasted, it was amazing in its own special way.
My special way! =)
My friends came over at 1240am (yeah.. I have no idea why they were late) to my room with a box of Krispy Kreme dougnuts for me. I absolutely love these dougnuts and because I don't have a car to get around here, I rarely get to eat them. I was of course dressed in my PJ's because though I kinda expected them to do something, I told myself nothing would happen come 1230am so I was totally not prepared at all when they burst in to my room then.
I even had my.. ahem..! lady clothes on the floor for everyone to see.. =.=
Anyway, since they were all younger than me and the age limit to drink alcohol is 21 years old (not that anyone follows them), they bought me a bottle of apple cider (you'll love it Cody! It was sour though) and a few really weirded presents.
One was a sex book, "69 Ways to Please Your Lover: Sex Secrets for Ultimate Pleasure" handbook, which I have no idea where I'm gonna use it coz I'm worst than a nun here, a Dirty Minds Game, which is something like Taboo but this one makes you think dirty but is actually not, and a intoxicating dice game called "Shaken Up"..
Like I have parties in my room every weekend.
Not to forget a book of mocktails, which I strongly feel my friends wanted it for themselves.
But I love them nonetheless though..
The next afternoon, we drove down to Venice Beach, Santa Monica Boulevard. This was the first time for me to drive in LA. It was super fun!!! I managed to persuade someone to lend me his car and he actually agreed! I was estatic to finally be able drive around! I recently got my California license so I kinda trust myself but the right side/left side thing is seriously confusing. I have to constantly remind myself that Americans drive on their right side. Especially when you make a left turn, you're supposed to go to your right lane immediately, or else you'll be in the same lane as the incoming car!
THough at one point of time where I was a little nervous, my left hand actually reached out to turn the gear. Natural instinct i guess. (American drivers is on the left side of the car)
There were many times that we almost got lost but thanks to Google maps and Mapquest, we manage to find our way. Gone were the confusing gigantic maps.
We wanted to go to Hooters in the night for dinner. Hooters is a family restaurant where all the waitresses wear skimpy shorts and have big boobies to show off. I so wanted to go there but they had a wrestling game going on that night and it was fully booked! =( Sad sad.. the place was full of guys though. Haha.. scary big looking Americans!!!
Instead we went to Karls' Brewery Restaurant. Not bad..
Wings without bones. I see no point actually.
Fried Calamari!!!
Fish and Chips with a tinge of beer..
Some burger..
New York pizza I think..
Most of them wanted to make me drunk because I'm finally legal to drink but.. nah.. I'm not much of a drinker.. and furthermore.. I was the one driving.. which actually turned out to be a great excuse to decline further drinking. However, someone asked the waitress if they had anything special for birthdays and when she knew I was 21, she said she would give us a glass of beer and a glass on the house.
The beer was surprisingly nice. Smooth and sweet. Though before she gave it to me, she actually asked me to show her my ID and I showed her my Malaysian IC. And if you notice, our Malaysian IC does not show our birthday. The only thing that they show is the IC number and that is how you know the person's birthday. Like mine is 870301-##-####. Malaysians would know it in a second but this waitress was staring at it for the longest time and I was wondering why she had a hard time reading it.
Then I realized it. So i just pointed towards the numbers, and told her, "so you just read from here, 87, March, 1st". She nodded her head and left.
Only after that did I realized that it was totally funny that she actually believed me. I could have crap out anything to explain the numbers on my ID. One of my friends actually took out her own Puerto Rican ID and tried to crap something out of her numbers.
I totally forgot I could have used my new Californian driving license.
Ah well.. ahaha..
The food was okay but the beer was really surprisingly nice.
After I came back into my room, I had another surprise waiting for me..
Somebody decorated my bathroom!!!
And didn't want me to shower..
I love them!
Most heart warming birthday ever!!! Thank you so much guys!

College Life
I always thought that even after I started my college life, I would still be able to continue blogging. But boy oh boy.. it's really not easy trying to even squeeze a minute or two for blogging time. I mean.. it's not that I'm super busy and all but time just flies when I'm here.
It's been almost 3 weeks since I got here. And everything has been absolutely great. Other than having a C+ for my first college essay, I'm all right.
Boohoo.. Let's not talk about my poor written essay. As I am talking now.. I have another essay due on Monday and the topic is 'What is Justice?". Anyone can help me in that?
It is certainly a new experience here! Malaysia is gonna celebrate it's 50th anniversary soon and I'm so bumped to not be able to attend it. People say that you'll grow to love your country more once you're out of it and seriously.. I can't agree more. Though the food in my current university is absolutely great.. but I do miss my Chao Kuew Tiao once is a while.
Did I tell you that the food here is awesome? Seriously!!! I have rice every single day! Haha.. I'm so gonna gain my freshman 15 weight! Help me people!!! =(
Thanks for guys if you still pop in occasionally. I know it's terrible when you come in and find that there are no updates. But I'll promise I wont stop ya. I'll try and make it once a week! Hehe..
On another note, one of the upperclassman that I knew recently brought me to a Japanese supermarket. And the first thing that came in my mind was to buy Milo!!!! Do you know that you can never ever find Milo anywhere? Target.. Wallmart.. it's like people here don't drink anything other than coffee and tea. It's terrible I tell you!
Nope.. it's not the one above! It's the price below!!!
That's like RM25! Crazy!!!
Guess how much it is! >.< Yup!!! 7 USD!!! Crazy anot! And look how small it is! But I was glad I went there though. It is really a comfortable feeling when you're surrounded by Asian stuff even though its all from Japan! Better than nothing la!
Soup! I think..
Maggi Mee!!!
They have this in Malaysia toO! My mum's favorite chocolates!
There was something weird about this place though. You actually have to be a member to buy stuff from this supermarket! You have to pay like 10USD a year to sign up for their membership. If not you just pay a dollar a day. Weird right?
Later only I found out that the reason they do this is because the stuff here is cheaper compared to outside. (What? My Milo is cheaP?) And they don't add tax after everything! (Yup! Everything here is tax!) Which after thinking about it a dollar is kinda fair!
But imagine having to pay to start buying stuff from a shop!!!
And you know what is the saddest part? They don't have the pads that I want! >.< I'm sorry if I'm gonna gross you guys out but I'm totally saddened by this situation that I'm in! I always use Whisper and can you imagine that they don't have this brand anywhere in the States? Its either Whisper was lying when they said they were the no.1 brand in the world (or Malaysia, I can't remember!) and they haven't open up their market in US or US is totally stupid for not having Whisper!!! Argh!!! I'm so angry!! !
This is the only last packet I have! =(
Dya think I can ask my family to ship it to me?
Why didn't anyone tell me this? I already brought like half a dozen of Darlie here! I didn't know I had to bring sanitary pads too!!! Argh.. Now I have to go out there and try some other brands! Argh!!! I hate this. You guys may think that it is all the same and all but IT IS NOT!!! >.<
Damn those marketing people! =(
You girls wanna introduce me to some new brand? Or maybe there's Whisper here too! Anybody?
Ok.. I have to start on my essay now!!! Stop procrastinating Princess Shin!!! Argh!!!
Till then.. Adios!

You can't imagine how much I miss my Maggi Goreng!
THis is kinda fair price though. Back in Malaysia it is super expensive!
I bought one of each to snack on! Wahaha..

Choosing the Right Network!!! How?
I'm seriously very lucky to have my family come with me to California. There are just so many things for me to do. To start a new life in a totally new place is really not an easy task! Seriously..
And pampered as I am. Never paid a single bill in my life.. How am I gonna survive this? I'm not bragging or anything but boohoo.. I'm spoiled! And I wont be spoiled for long now..
I don't even wanna think about it. Parting with Cody was already hard enough.. but having my family leave me in another 1 and a half week's time is even harder than I thought. Now I'm really gonna be alone.
Ah.. I have been looking forward for this opportunity for so long and now that's it here.. I'm so lost! Booohooo..
Ok... enuf of self-pitying. It'll get me no where. As I was saying. There are just so many things to do. Buy bed sheets, note books, furnitures.. this that. And I havent started on any of that yet. But one thing that I love is they have so many hypermarkets here for me to choose from! Goodness gracious me.. I can just go crazy here!
They have Target, Wallmart, Macy.. Just to name a few since I have only been here for like 2 days.. I havent been to Wallmart yet though. Couldn't find the place. Everything is just so great! You can find anything here. Except of course chilli which I'm totally craving for..
My precious cilli padi! Ahh...
Anyway.. ( I always don't write according to my post's title!) as I was saying, one of the main things was to get me a phone and of course a line so that Cody can start calling me soon! It cost like RM6 (USD 1.50) a minute to call back. So my family and I went around looking for suitable call plans.
Boy was it hard. I later found out that they are like 4 main networks over in US. At&t, Verizon, T Mobile and another one which I have forgotten. And each and everyone of them has their own different plan. Some requires you to pay when you receive and send messages. I mean I understand if you need to pay when you send a message but to receive it? Got such thing? What about those people that loves to send rubbish messages? Do I need to pay for it too? So silly I tell you.. And some even requires you to pay when you receive calls!!!
So what do you think? Any ideas on which network is better?

I bought a New Camera!!!
Woooohoooo!!!! Wooohooo!!!
*big smile*
Wooohoooo!!!!
Wahahaha..!!!
I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera!
Ok.. I shall stop gloating! =)
Oooh.. Open Up! Open Up!!!
All the boring but important stuff!
Here it comes! Here it comes!
My chunky camera lying snugly on me bed!
Its little house!
Remember a few days ago I showed you the video on the Canon S5 IS camera? Well.. Wahaha.. I bought it already! I know.. I know.. it's a bit too soon and bla bla bla.. But I bought it already so there! ^.^
It was quite a harsh decision though. I saw it on Saturday in Midvalley, went home and went to a few websites to look for its reviews, and the next day.. Asked my dad to buy for me.
My dad is seriously the best I tell you. I never really ask him to buy anything for me before. I mean big stuff.. (Clothes doesn't count) but lately, just because I'm gonna go US, he's suddenly being all nice and offering me to buy me this and that!
He even wanted to buy me a RM2900 (USD828) PDA Dopod Phone!!! I still havent decided yet though.. Him treating me so good is kinda making me feel all weird and 'mo yi si'! Hard to explain la. Makes it all the more harder for me to go overseas. How am I gonna survive without my family?
Sigh..
Anyway.. back to my camera. I don't really know how much it cost coz I wasn't around when my parents bought it for me. But the price that I saw was RM1599 (USD456). Kinda expensive I know. It was between the Canon S850 and this.
The Canon S850 is obviously smaller and slicker. More sexy! But since I am slowly getting interested in photography, I was thinking might as well get a camera that has more functions to play around with. Not really an SLR camera but looks like it. Hehe..
But the size is undeniably big and chunky. I can't imagine being in a cool club having fun with the girls and when everybody wants to take a picture, I take out my chunky huge camera ! Hahah..
Not that I go clubbing often! What were you thinking?
I guess I'll just have to have thicker skin la!
I'm kinda lazy to list down all the functions of the camera. Click here if you want the full list of it's function. But mainly it has 8.0 megapixels of resolution, DIGIC III Image Processor (don't really know what it is), 12x optical zoom lens with an optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system (good for shaking hands like mine!) and 2.5-inch vari-angle LCD monitor with wide viewing angle. It uses four AA batteries.
Now this is the part that I don't really like. It using AA batteries. It's harder to charge right? Not as convenient. But looking at the bright side, I can get batteries anywhere I want now.
Pros and cons as usual.
Of course.. after opening up everything. The first thing I did was to try the camera out! And guess who was my first model?
My sweet lovely old faithful!
Alamak!
But since I already have a smaller digital camera, I think it'll be all right for me right? I can still go clubbing with my this old faithful!! =)
Wah.. A short post become so long now. Thanks for reading finish you guys!!! =)
*big smile*
Wooohoooo!!!!
Wahahaha..!!!
I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera.. I bought a new camera!
Ok.. I shall stop gloating! =)
Oooh.. Open Up! Open Up!!!
All the boring but important stuff!
Here it comes! Here it comes!
My chunky camera lying snugly on me bed!
Its little house!
It was quite a harsh decision though. I saw it on Saturday in Midvalley, went home and went to a few websites to look for its reviews, and the next day.. Asked my dad to buy for me.
My dad is seriously the best I tell you. I never really ask him to buy anything for me before. I mean big stuff.. (Clothes doesn't count) but lately, just because I'm gonna go US, he's suddenly being all nice and offering me to buy me this and that!
He even wanted to buy me a RM2900 (USD828) PDA Dopod Phone!!! I still havent decided yet though.. Him treating me so good is kinda making me feel all weird and 'mo yi si'! Hard to explain la. Makes it all the more harder for me to go overseas. How am I gonna survive without my family?

My sweet lovely old faithful!I don't think you can find this in the market anymore. The memory card is actually obsolete now! Everything of it is manual. And it has been with me for goodness knows how long! 5 years? I always wanted a new camera. And now I finally do!
Sigh.. I'm so lucky.
Thanks dad! =)
See the flash on top. You have to press the small circular button on top and it'll bounced right up itself! So cute I tell you.
And the funniest part is.. When my friends wanna see my pictures.. I love having them looking around my camera finding for the on switch!
Its hilarious I tell you.
Can you guess where the on switch is?
Sigh.. I'm so lucky.

Can guess? Can guess?
Or you're just too lazy to find it. Can't be bothered? There aren't a lot of switches there ya know.. DOn't be lazy la..
1st button? 2nd button?
With your expertise in photography and cameras, which I know you have.. which button would you think it is?
Hehe..
Here you go!
Pardon my weird words. It's not easy controlling the mouse!
Did you get it right? Or as usual you couldn't be bothered? =P

It's to tell the whole world I'm ready for action!!!
Naughty guy right?

Should I bring half a dozen of Darlie to US?
17 more days
Yup! I dunno whether to rejoice or feel terrible because I only have 17 more days to live in my this beautiful country Malaysia! No.. I'm not dying.. I'm just gonna further my studies soon.
For you out there that have no idea what I'm talking about?
Well.. Em.. You havent been reading my blog havent you? Well.. naughty you then! >.<
Hahah.. joking! I'm going to US soon. Yup! In another 17 more days! It hasn't really dawn on to me yet that I'm finally gonna leave my country of 20 years!
I have been waiting for this day to come for so long that now that it's finally here, I'm not really believing it. I mean, it's not that I don't believe that I can finally go overseas to study, it's just that I can't really believe that I'm gonna leave my home soon! I kinda feel that I don't wanna leave now. I realized a long time ago that whenever I ask my friends that are about to leave on what their feelings are at the moment before they leave, their answer is always,
"Em.. nothing la. Lidat lo.."
"Don't you feel excited at all?" will be my answer.
"Not really. Kinda feel sad actually." will they say softly.
Now I understand how they feel. Part of me, say like 20% is kinda excited that I'm gonna start a whole new chapter of my life experiencing new cultures and stuff, and part of me, the remaining 80%, kinda dreads the 'big' day.
What if I get so lonely there? What if I cannot adapt to the environment over there? What if I miss my family and cry for my mummy everyday? What if.. What if.. What if? A
rgh.. Life is just full of challenges right? Even when things go your way, you still need to face multiple challenges in life.
Now, the biggest problem for me is packing. I have another 17 days more to go and I haven't started packing yet! Not a single thing. Why? Well.. I don't know what to pack!!! I know nuts about packing!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!
My family went and bought a luggage bag for me! Cost around RM700 ya know. Super expensive! You think enough for me anot leh?
I know I'll definitely need to bring clothes. But how much is much? What about shoes? Books? Stationary? Bed sheets? Pillows?
Can I fit everything inside?
I heard that US doesn't have Darlie the toothpaste. Should I bring half a dozen of Darlie then? I have a friend that just migrated to Australia and it seems that she has been bringing almost half a dozen of Darlie toothpaste every time she flew back to Malaysia because Australia doesn't have Darlie. She did this even when she was studying 10 years ago!!!
These things just don't cross your mind unless someone tells you! But now that someone did warn you, are you gonna take their advice?
How am I gonna fit in everything in my bag? Or even if I succeed.. How am I gonna fit it in my room???
Can see how deep it is?
Argh.. I'm worried and stress up now!!! There seems to be so many things for me to do, so little time.. but I don't know where to start and what to do!!!
>.< Help!

Working again!
I'm working now. Correction! I'm working again! Changed 2 jobs in the past 2 weeks.
Remember I told you that I was doing this telemarketing thing? And letting people reject over and over and over again? Well.. I'm tired and sick of that! Screw those people that keep rejecting me! Hmph! I'm not gonna be there to take all your sh*t from you anymore. Call you with a super cheery voice and all you can do is tell me not to call you again and slam the phone on me?
Who do you think I am?
Ok.. Phew! Enough of that. I shall not waste my post on people like that! Hope it's not one of you imaginary readers! If you are then I guess I'll have to forgive you! Hehe..
Anyway, like I said, I couldn't stand it anymore. Telemarketing is just not my cup of tea. Sitting behind the desk calling managers after managers, speaking to receptionist that don't listen to you, then hearing the boring old elevator music over and over again. Nah.. don't want to do that now!
Doing another job now. A bit more interesting than this. Hehe..
And dealing with customers that are much more innocent and cheerful than those old grumpy managers. Though I just met one that ask me to shut up this afternoon, and even spelled me a f.u.c.k, but ah well.. better than having an old man said that to me.
Yup! Dealing with little kids now. Teaching in a center. Mathematics, Language and stuff. Though my brain is kinda rusty with all the holidaying but somehow I'm good at pretending to them that I actually know the answer! Haha.. Did i mention that the children there are from 3 to 15 years old. Haha.. some are so cute and sweet. But others, like the one mention above..
Let's just say my kids don't turn out like that. Please please please!
Today is my second day there. And I have worked here before last year for like 2 weeks. So nothing much for me to get use to. But seeing my employment history where the longest I have ever worked is like 5 months, I hope I don't switch anymore jobs.
Why can't I find a job that I truly like and stick with it? Why do I feel so terrible after working a few days for a job and can't wait to quit? Is everyone lidat or am I just exceptional? Will I find a job that I truly like?
Anyway, so far this job is kinda nice. Time passes quite fast esp when there is a lot of kids. So hope everything turns out okay and have me working there for the next 3 months. Wish me luck everyone!

Obsession
I'm absolutely a terrible compulsive shopper. Other than being obsessive with clothes, I tend to have some kind of obsession on something where by I buy and buy and buy non-stop until the particular obsession wears off!
It's kinda seasonal obsession whereby it comes and goes but the time is not always the same. When I was in high school, around the age of 16 and 17, my obsession was with CDs! I would buy one every single time I went out! It got so bad until I bought like 1 CD per week! And mind you I'm a student, so spending RM 40 (USD $14) on a CD per week is no easy task! It totally burnt a whole in my pocket.
Right now I have like over 70 over CDs in my room. They are indeed my precious collection, my treasures but I have no idea how to bring them over when I go over to US to study!
My precious CD collection!
And the thing with this obsession is I only listen to the particular CD when I first bought it. After that I just don't listen to them at all. they're precious of coz but they are just there for me to admire. Weird right?
When I finish high school and esp when I just finished getting my chicken pox, my obsession was make-up. I was obsesses in going over magazines, seeing which brand has the best product, going over to the make-up counter asking to try this and that though I have tried it god knows how many times, and spending over hundreds over ringgit in buying all these stuff!!!
And I'm totally a branded person. I rather not use anything than use some over the counter make-up so of coz this obsession totally burnt a hole in my pocket again. And I'm totally not a make-up gal. I was so obsesses about it in the first place was because I got chicky scars all over my face, and my ex-high school galfriend just got back from Australia and she was all made-up! So kinda made me feel.. you know..
Not so confident!
Unfortunately, after spending so much money on make-up, buying foundation, lip gloss, (I assumed you guys can't differentiate them at alL!) blusher.. bla bla and bla.. I don't use a single one of them now! My scars on my face are slowly disappearing and I don't wanna wear make-up now! It feels so hot and bluek!!! Don't like.
So one obsession down the drain agaiN!
Now.. my obsession is with books!!! Yeah.. of all time right? I buy so many books where am I gonna put them? My family is migrating to Vietnam soon and I'm just adding to their rubbish! I can't very well bring them to my university when I get there..
Can I?
I'm buying 2 to 3 books a week and I'm reading like 1 book 2 weeks! Don't ya think it's a waste of money?
Sigh.. told u it's my obsession!
Do you have an obsession?

I don't use a single one of them now! My scars on my face are slowly disappearing and I don't wanna wear make-up now! It feels so hot and bluek!!! Don't like.
So one obsession down the drain agaiN!
Now.. my obsession is with books!!! Yeah.. of all time right? I buy so many books where am I gonna put them? My family is migrating to Vietnam soon and I'm just adding to their rubbish! I can't very well bring them to my university when I get there..
Can I?
I'm buying 2 to 3 books a week and I'm reading like 1 book 2 weeks! Don't ya think it's a waste of money?
Sigh.. told u it's my obsession!
Do you have an obsession?

My Visual DNA
Got this from Merapuman's blog.
He has such interesting stuff! =)
Interesting stuff! You choose the things you like and it will explain to you later what kind of person you are. Quite accurate I must say. Seriously.
I'm impressed! Go try it!
