New year new blog http://rachelsusilo.livejournal.com
I WILL MISS YOU RACHEL IMNIDA.

Today was splurge day.
When i say i wanna shop, i guess i REALLY MEAN IT YEAH.
A top, a dress, a skirt and hair extensions for the new year with kimchi baby.
yes hair extensions, TONG I KNOW YOU WOULD SHOUT "AHLIANNZzZzZ!!!"
And i can just imagine the guys laughing at me.
But WHO CARES MAN.
It was really a moment of impulse and as
kim the bimbo says " WE ARE YOUNG. WE MUST BE SPONTANEOUS"
So we did it, and there you go, fierce gangster looking girls for the new year and the following month.
It would be funny pretending to be a gangster and scaring the science people.
ie. walking into labs with pink hair and maybe sing an avril song.

But today was awesome.
All about my girlfriend, girl talks, shopping, holding hands and our favourite hanky panky,
maybe something to balance up the manli-ness im starting to develop from muay thai.

And did i mention? Xiao long bao buffet after trainng was awesomely sinful.
I ate so much that i felt like a bloated balloon.
We stuffed ourselves from 10pm to 1am.
Such pigs yeah?
And you know the muay thai people are really such GUYS.
Buffets are known as "pumping carbo".
I need to get used to such manly terms to fit in.
But most of the guys have an appetite of an ant la.
I was probably the only survivor still stuffing xiao long baos and wantons.
OKay is that something i should be proud of?

yes. i dont care yes.

Its the first week of school and im still adopting the slacker's mentality.
Bad rachel Bad. YOU NEED YOUR CAP 4.

Or should i just screw that, buy 4 caps and make myself happy.
(okay bad joke)

Today was all about,

1) being late again.
Yes im upset with myself. This is attrocious.
I should aim to leave my house 1 and a half hours earlier.
WHY DIDNT I TAKE NTU WHY.

2) Hot, young and hilarious american professor. Yes, FINALLY, the professor seems human.
and FINALLY I WAS KEPT AWAKE. Im looking forward to lectures in biz now. And the best thing was jane was there too. Just like good ol' smurfy times.

3) Towning with tong and catching the 7pm "RACHEL GETTING MARRIED"
As romantic and chirpy the movie sounds, it was AWFULLY DEPRESSING I SWEAR.
You see anne hathaway in a totally new light.
A girl in rehab, her eyes sullen and no longer bright.
Anyway, the film was damn deep.
BIMBOS LIKE KIM, THIS IS A HUGE NO NO.
Tong had to explain the whole show to me.
I stayed awake though, because i couldnt keep my eyes off anne hathaway.

Anyway, we did loads of embarrassing things like Laugh damn loudly and unglamly at the bus stop and whereever we went.
The crescent girl attitude in full swing man.
I swear tong jiayi laughs like a monster.
Her laughter can shake the world.

And im addicted to shopping.
IM DYING TO SHOP. I LOVE SHOPPING (i hate to admit but ya)
Kimmy i need you in full swing baby.

school was awesome today la.
It sure felt good going for lectures with everyone again! =)
I honestly missed everyone!
The A2 group and of course my favourite-only-other-normal-person-around-janjan!
Now i know why i felt weird going for marketing on tues, cos i've been so used to having
janis being with me for lectures, drinking our 70cents science coffee, laughing at the weirdos that shout random answers out during lectures and missing CJ together.haha!

And MOLECULAR GENETICS WAS JUST HILARIOUS MAN.
My lecturer had this awesome accent, I SWEAR i thought i was taking MO GEN in chinese la.

lecturer" egypt chremsome, one frim pa-arents, one frimm mother"
(EACH CHROMOSOME, ONE FROM PARENTS, ONE FROM MOTHER)

everyone" HUHHH"
Janis" WTF"
me" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA"

Firstly, he doesnt make sense. Secondly, i couldnt stop laughing at his accent and somehow, i managed to grasp abit of it, so i spent the entire lecture translating to janis.

I think, sadly, even the cj bio teachers are better than him.


Only bad thing today was prolly, the drink stall uncle's abscence.
One should really adopt his idea of optimisim and his enthusiasm in selling drinks man.
Hes just so inspiring man, always bursting with energy.

"LAI QI MAO LAI, LAI, LAI XIAO MEI MEI LAI"
( if you can understand my chinese, you suck just as bad =) )

first day of school felt weird going to biz for my marketing lecture instead of the usual science.
This is weird but i actually developed a sense of belonging in science from sem 1,
Yes no matter how stingy the yong tau fu auntie is, no matter how science is always overcrowded with AHEMs, no matter how people rush for their sits in the most crude and unruly manner,
I still heart science la! HAHA
Where most of my friends are, feels good going back to the usual rag table with everyone there.
HAHA. After my marketing lecture, and going back to science, i felt like i was going HOME!
Hahaha! oh myyy. IS that good or bad?

But the sad thing is, eye candies and hot girl oggling still resides in biz. haha!

SO first day of school was all about

1) cabbing down once again. YES if i need a new year resolution, it would be to STOP CABBING.
Seriously ah, if i save all my cab fares, my wardrobe would probably be twice its size!

2) Being lost, lugging thick stacks of notes and huge textbooks and looking for stupid mark and baba in an LT filled with people and the lecture on-going, till i realise two indians laughing at me at the other end of the LT.
WHAT IDIOTS and how embarrassing yeah!

3) Getting bruises and a deep kick into the boobs by my very favourite shufen ong. YEs my love hate relationship with muay thai la.

4) checking out girls and more girls! I notice the trend in school that everyone dresses so prim and properly on the first day but towards the exam period, everyone starts dressing down.
BUT AS FOR SCIENCE, everyday is the same la. Just your handy jeans, lab coat and goggles.
STANDARD FASHION.

OKay time to sleep and embrace my not-so-busy week of getting used to the new semester and timetable. TATA

hello, 2009 has been doing me good.

1) im still in the phase of learning to live and let go.

2) as the days pass i've been hating my blog template more and more.

My engrand is going down the drain.
time to read more intellectual stuff like books and not trashy blogs/magazines/facebook notes.

On the other hand, muay thai has been keeping me so busy that my life has revolved around muay thai-ing- catch up with friend 1 - muay thai-ing- shopping- muay thai-ing- catch up with friend 2.
AND NO IM NOT COMPLAINING.
Kinda sad that im finally enjoying the hols and now its soon coming to an end.
Next week, i would be back to the days of 70-cents science canteen coffee/laughing at random people in science lects/dreading science labs/ hibernation in the science library.
Yes, snapping back into my favourite world of science.
How excitingzzz

However, next sem i wont be so much of a science student since i would be taking 2 biz mods!
Its probably gonna be my slackest sem ever la.
But imagine, Chiang the career women.
Perfect combination i must say. =)

And i must admit that i've really done my fair share of partying this hols.
after getting slapped on the face 3 times by miss zelmonster soh ting wei the violent drunkard.
i've had enough man! haha!

And today, i caught Ong Bak 2 with the muay thai people.
Which was super funny!
No, not the show.
The show was damn boring.
But the comments made by the guys.
"nice bunny hairstyle"
"what he lost his head gear so he replaces it with a basket over his head"
"HAHA BASKET MAN AGAIN"
Okay, im blabbering. But you gotta watch that gruesome show to understand what im talking about man, ALTHOUGH TRUST ME ITS NOT WORTH IT.

Right now im only left with T28's steamboat and reunion with the kiatze people.
I cant wait to see everyone again!
And did i mention? I got my marketing and freshmen sem mods.
Im left with MNO which is so expensive. grrr.
Camie the bimbo ever said before, "no money can get from mummy. But no points cannot get from the dean lehh"
So dumb and yet so true.

Muay thai training is KEEEEEEEEEEEE-IIIIIIILING ME.
But did i mention? I never had so much passion for a sport before.
No, i dont enjoy the sickening track training and the power runs,
but i LOVE the pad work and punching those guys.
The guys are really nice.
THey would willingly be my human sandbags and let me punch them and bash them without retaliating, while they train defence.
Dont say im violent!
Its just self defence okayy.
ANyway, thank god i have shufen with me to encourage me.
From giving me morning wake up calls to go for training,
to always pushing me on during those sickening power runs.
Cos the track trainings are breath-taking (LITERALLY)
and i would prolly die a 1000 times without shufen by my side.
From surviving judo uchikomis to muay thai nose bleeds, we've come a long way baby. =)

But i just dont wanna bulkk up.
like omg i feel my boobs turning square already.
THATS BAD.
I dont wanna go all manly and hulky.

Anyway in a few hours time, i would be leaving the house,
getting ready for my nye celebration of steamboat with the judokas and the countdown at saylin's place.

SO i decided to do an entry reflecting 2008.
Standard la every year.

2008 was probably the slackest and yet the craziest year in my life man!
From going mambo on a weekly basis for 3 weeks (not a crazy clubber okay)
From job hopping, raffles hotel, coffee club, starhub, polyclinic, meeting all sorts of weirdos in the world.
To earning my own money and coming up with my own full expense paid trip, my first overseas trip with friends to bangkok and then taiwan and then genting.
Like wow, i actually travelled 4 times this year.
In 2008, i experienced the happiest moments of my life, joining rag dance, falling in love with hiphop and actually performing on rag day.
When we made it to the science wall, that feeling was orgasmic man.
In 2008, i made a whole bunch of new friends, guys who are wayy older than me. Finally not people of my age group. Some of them can be still mean (haha!), but most are really nice, always getting bullied by me. =p haha!
in 2008, i experienced uni life, the best orientation camps i ever had, the independence in school, you get to slack and yet you have to be extremely responsible for yourself.
In 2008, i finally understood what it means by last minute mugging, i prolly studied the hardest in my whole life in that short span of time before the papers. Yes, sidenote to myself to be more consistent next sem.
In 2008, i probably experienced the most heartbreaks in my life as well. It can get so heart wrenching, but as you know, nothing can really bring me down for long.
So please dont think im emo my friends!
Time would make me even stronger, and in no time, i would be back to being chirpy chiang again!
in 2008, i may have neglected some of my friends, due to my extremely hectic schedule. but that doesnt mean i dont love you guys k! Sometimes i feel that good friends do not neccessary have to meet up everyday. We could meet up once in awhile and yet act and talk the same way like never before. Like the crescent people, we still go crazy and make hell lot of noise whenever we meet. Crazy girls school they say. HAHA.
but yes, thats our bond that nothing can break. We are stronger than covalent bonds! Even Heat cant break us. (okay overload of scientific info i know)

So In 2008, im probably jaded, but a stronger person.
But im still me! I still watch disney. I still laugh at my jokes (yes i think they are very funny)
I still find miley cyrus drop dead gorgeus. Im still in love with my starbucks green tea latte and caramel frappe.



In the coming 2009, i need to pull up my cap dammit!
And yes, i need to be very careful and be skeptical, not to be so trusting anymore.
