This weekend is the best weekend I had since I came back here 3 weeks ago.
<3

So many things said and done.
Even though it includes just sitting and chilling at my favourite hangout place: Meridith #1.

The main highlight:
Got surprised for my 18th birthday for the 2nd time!
My face was just.... priceless.
For 20 seconds, I was thinking in my head whose birthday was it.
And when they sang "Happy Birthday..........Happy Birthday Jiating......"
(Yes, they call me Jiating, that's my name for the Meridith gang.)
Then I realised....
It was for me.
I was just, shocked.
I was speechless.
I didn't know what to say because I felt so.... treasured.
Even though I didn't reply you, Jenny (I know you're reading this!) when you asked me in the car if I was happy...
You should know that I was.
It was really a great surprise.
It didn't backfire at all.
Not even a teenyweenybit.
I was COMPLETELY surprised.
I love you guys over at Pasadena <3

And today, I went to their Church.
Apparently, they celebrate people's birthday every end of the month.
And Regi had to call my name.
Which means I have 3 parties this year.
How can that not make my birthday a memorable one?
Thank youuuuu!!

Okay, let me rewind a little.
I got asked to return to Pasadena I think 3 times, or more.
First was when Jenny picked me up at 85 (a boba place).
Pieter and herself were like, "let's start planning her surprise party from now".
They, including Jacq and Kartika who asked me after Jenny did, really hope that I could return to PCC, to return to Pasadena, to be there with them when they are hanging out at Meridith.
I wish I could...
But I can't.

I shall drive up there when I can, and have the time.
You guys should come to the West too!
We can shop here :)
And, we should have sleepovers every month or two months or so.

Anyway, I'm really thankful for this weekend.
<3 Jacq, Jenny, Kar and the rest of the gang.

I don't know if I should happy or sad that I brought up a topic.
Well, a couple of people are thanking me, but somehow I feel bad...
Hahaha.
Oh well.

Anyway, can you believe that I did 2 days of Math homework in advanced when I was staying over?!
How different am I now huh?
A geeky geek now.
However,
I......... forgot that I had an English homework.
So I have to do it now.
Sucks.

Okay, so so so.
I miss my lovelies.
Alyssa, Michelle.
Haziqah, Verna.
Janet, Jerevien, Tracy.
I will try to have a HTHT (learnt this from Aikhe) as soon as possible!
FYI, HTHT means heart to heart talk.
I know how lame it sounds.
HAHA.
Oh well.
I will try to keep this blog as alive as I can.

In the meanwhile....
I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY POLAROID CAMERA TO ARRIVE.
OH MY GOSH.

AND,
HAZIQAH IS FINALLY GETTING A BLACKBERRY!!
We, plus Verna, can BBM non stop now!
Eeeeeeeeeexcited.

Okay, I better go bathe and do homework now.
I'm exhausted.
It's 1017pm.
I only had 5 hours of sleep last night.
I still need to do up my homework too.

Xoxoxoxo.

I just bought a polaroid camera.
Yay :)
All smiles.

Friday, February 26, 2010

I'm going to stay over at my friend's house in a while.
My Pasadena friend's house.
:)

Leaving home in an hour and a half I think.
Alright, will blog again soon!
<3

My current mood: Shocked, Astonished, Surprised, "It's so unbelievable", "Omg"....
You get the idea.

Anyway, I'm thinking of which teacher to go to, for English class.
So, it's either:
Prof B - said to be an easy teacher, at least a B, work hard for A, don't really teach, play music & movie in class....
OR
Prof M - said to be an okay teacher, at least a B, work hard for A, read poem, analyze, read, analyze....

I screwed up Prof M's class by not doing the first assignment which was due today.
So I'm really thinking twice now.T
The thing is he's not going to give me any chance to turn it late.
However I can do extra credit: memorising a poem that is made up with 14 or more lines.
I need help.
I need to decide in 24 hours or less....
OMG, HELP ME.

I'm going to update another time alrighty.
I'm so sleepy.
I just finished my Math homework.
I actually did TOMORROW'S homework.
How awesome is that.
I'm trying to be like 100000000000% geek.
Need to pull my GPA up to at least 3.8.

Okay, I'm going to sleep soon.
It's 7 minutes to midnight.
I have to wake up at 8 tomorrow.
Class's at 9am.

Oh no, no more croissant for breakfast.
What should I eat then? :(
AHHH, I know!
Apple!
Hahaha, okay, I'm going to sleep really really really soon.
Goodnight lovelies <3

For some reason.
I feel like blogging.
I feel like rewriting my resolutions for this year.
Even though it's already almost 2 months since the year started.
As long as I put my everything in my resolutions.
It will come true right? :)

I will edit this post by inserting my resolution soon.

Anyway, so yesterday was "Love Story in China".
It's pretty entertaining I would say.
The drama was short but so hilarious.
There were games that were uh... "nga jelas" which direct translation means not clear.
Yeah, I didn't know what was going on for a couple of the games that they played.
There were a few awards and I won Best Dressed Award...
I was sabotaged.
So there were 3 nominees.
Eva, Inez and myself.
Obviously I screamed like SUPER DUPER UBER loud for the other two.
When I was screaming and applauding for the other 2 nominees.
My friends kept asking me to "shhh" and one even grabbed my hands to prevent me from clapping any longer.
Then the revenge came.
When my name was being called.
All of them screamed so so so so so so loud.
Which eventually led me to be the winner.
Either way, thank you all. Hahahaha.

Haven't met my Pasadena friends so such a long time.
When I entered the venue.
Some of them couldn't even recognise me..
I don't know if that is a good thing... Or a bad one.
Anywho, we took soooo many pictures.
They wanted me to stay over last night but of course I didn't.
I was unprepared and I had to do up my homework.
Which I have yet complete.
And I am going to watch Shutter Island in less than 2 hours' time.

I said I'll stay over next week to Jenny.
And she made sure that everyone around us heard that.
And I pinky promised her and Ivan that I would stay over at Pasadena next week.
So, a deal is a deal.
I will stay over next week.
But do not blame me if you see me lugging my books along with me.

I will definitely upload the pictures soon.
On Facebook of course.
But before that I have to delete countless number of them because 95% of the pictures were taken by "Russell" and he took so many blur ones.
Oh well.

It's been quite some time since I blogged yah?
School started for me since the 16th.
Crashed class for one whole week.
So far I got English, Math, (waitlisted for both English&Math), Philosophy, Econs 1 and Econs 2.
All the crucial subjects.
I am so screwed.
I need to work hard this semester to be able to achieve all As for all the classes I'm taking.

I better get ready for the movie tonight.
I'll try to blog again soon.

生日快樂,我對自己說。

蠟燭點了,寂寞亮了。

生日快樂,淚也溶了。


祝我生日快樂。


Happy Birthday Caroline!
& happy birthday to others like,
1) Alex Tan - My Secondary School senior.
2) "Jing2" - Mom's friend's daughter.
3) Feiyun - AN yo! <3
and others who have the same birthday as me, I wish you a very happy birthday and hope that you'll have a great one this year.

I'm a little down, I know I'm not supposed to, especially on my birthday.
But it's just that, I really don't know what to say anymore.
I've tried.
I've tried.
I'm going to go bathe and all.
I doubt I'm going out with Mitch because she's sick.
I shall be a good girl and stick to my sister.
Who cares if it's my birthday and I'm stuck with my sister?
Family means the whole world to me.
Nothing comes ahead of my family.

Birthday..
Is it really that important?
I didn't celebrate last year's.
Even though it was Sweet Seventeen (Indonesia's Style).
Usually Indonesians have a huge, super grand birthday party for their 17th.
But hey, I didn't.
Yeah, you guys can probably say "Oh, you already had a Sweet 16th".
It's not that.
My Daddy offered to hold a big party for my Sweet 17th, asked me to invite all of my friends.
But I turned it down.
I don't see the big deal of having a big party for your Sweet 17th.

You know how I spent my 17th birthday?
Slacking at home in the afternoon and having just a small dinner for the 4 of us (Parents, brother and myself).
And cutting the cake at home later that night.
That small event that took place was already enough for me.

Yesterday's "surprise" celebration for my birthday.
So what if others have tens of people surprising them and I only had less than 10?
My sister reassured me that there were more coming, eg my awesome Pasadena friends.
But they didn't have the transport down.
I don't blame them.
So what if it was a teeny weeny celebration yesterday?
I had a lot of fun.
We all probably laughed so hard that we'll have abs if we continued laughing for a couple more hours.
It was awesome.
Thank you to the few of you.

I don't want to make myself start thinking way way deep under my current shallow thoughts.
If I start, I may never want to leave the house today.
I'd just like to have my personal quiet time.
Which will suck because it's my birthday afterall.
I don't have to go out and celebrate like how others do.
I would just like to have a simple day, like any regular day.
To go have lunch & dinner with people that I treasure.
To have heart-to-heart talks with those I haven't seen for some time, or I haven't talk to for quite a while.

I'm just going to drown myself with the head shower.
Like what I usually do.
Standing under the shower and just wander my mind off.
Okay, goodbye.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF :D
& to Ping2 who's in Medan, 16th February!

Stay happy always guys!
<3

I figured I have to update my blog because the number of readers is decreasing like *BAM*.
So, it's Valentine's Day.
I AM SO BORED.

Hahaha.
LA is really a boring place to be.
There's nothing to do.
Michelle and I couldn't decide on where to go.
We had a super awesome lunch though.
The Counter.
Best Sweet Potato Fries & Burgers ever.

I'm sleepy.
I don't know if Michelle wants to have dinner.
I don't know what is she doing now -.-

Okay, I'm going to continue watching my tv, continue chatting and stuff.
Goodbye.

OH OH.
Thank you to all of those who wished me Happy Birthday.
It's my birthday in Singapore's and Indonesia's time.
But it's still another 2.5 hours away from my birthday according to LA's time.
Love you guys.

I got 3-4 wishes at one go this year.
Happy Chinese New Year.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Birthday.
Happy Total Defense Day (Huihui!).
& for the Americans, it's also President's Day but who's going to wish me that -.-
Hahahah.

My first Chinese New Year and Birthday not being around my parents, relatives and friends.
I miss all of you.
I DON'T HAVE AS MANY ANGBAOS AS BEFORE.
HAHAHA.
I'm just kidding.
I don't really care.
But thank you to the Aunties and Uncles who left the angbaos for my sisters and I.
:)

I will try to blog more often..
School is starting in 2 days.
The first week of school will totally suck.
I've to crash classes.
GAH.
Wish me luck guys.
Oh right, I'm going to get my license in probably a week time...
So excited... and nervous at the same time.

Lovelove, Caroline.

Okay, too lazy to blog hehe.

Seminar: 8 February.
Check-in: 9 February.
Latest date my admission officer said I need to arrive: 10 February.
Don't ask me why she said 10th instead of the 7th.
She allow me to skip the orientation I guess.

Well, Mommy wanted me to change the date of my flight again.
Probably to this Sunday.
But Daddy said don't.
So, I'm not changing.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
945am flight.

I can't bear to leave.
But I can't wait to arrive LA.
*dilemma*

Going to bathe and pack my luggages.
Only one check-in luggage because Mommy said we've too many luggages in the US.
So she don't allow me to bring two.
Why am I packing so last minute?
I wanted to pack a few days ago.
But I only went out with Mommy this afternoon to get the new luggages.
One big luggage and one luggage that I can bring on board.
Finally!
No more carrying my handbag, camera bag and laptop on it's own.
Bahbahbah.
Better go bathe and pack now before it's too late for me to bathe.
Byeeeeeeee.

Byebye Singapore, Hello Los Angeles.

爲什麽?
雖然我知道我唯一的願望是非常難實現的,可是我不能就這樣放棄吧?
就算我必須放棄,我也要在我努力過的時候才放棄它。
陳妙婷,加油吧!
你一定可以的!
別因爲認爲自己沒有這個能力辦得到就像退縮。
加油!

Going to take Piano and Japanese classes in SMC.
Looking for
1) Flute and Guitar lessons - Instruments.
2) Ballet, Hiphop, Salsa and Tango lessons - Dances.
3) Vocal lessons.

Okay, that's crazy a lot.
But obviously I'm not going to attend all of them at one go.

Okay, better go look for classes now.
So that I can compare all of them before deciding which one I should go for.
Byebyebye.
<3
Fruits for dinner - Apple, Kiwi, Li Zi & Strawberry.
Yum.
Dinner at 930 isn't healthy, no matter is it fruits or not.
Hehehe.
*after eating a few slices of each*
I'm feeling so super duper full.

Mommy stolve the tv away from me.
She's watching the channel 8 drama now.
And watched the cooking show before the drama started.
& Mommy is crying now.
Hahaha.
Mommy is too sensitive...

Leaving the day after tomorrow.
Can't have dinner with Haziqah, Janet and Verna tomorrow.
Daddy wants to have a dinner buffet before I leave tomorrow.
Might be getting a luggage tomorrow afternoon.
:)
I need my own luggages!
Those to check in and those on board ones.
I'm sick of carrying my handbag AND laptop bag AND camera bag all the time I go up to the plane.

I want those metal type one for my on board luggage.
Hm, shall it be black/pink/red/white/yellow?
Weird choices right?
Especially pink and yellow.
I'm going to decorate my luggage...
*thinking of how am I going to do so*
Need help!
Should ask Verna because Art student what!
:D

I was thinking of sewing pillowcases for my Tempur pillow.
The weird shaped one.
It doesn't matter whether it's good quality or not.
Just that it's something that I call my own and that can keep my pillow clean!

Need to start looking for classes.
But will only can sign up after knowing which classes am I taking.

Somehow I can't wait to be back in LA.
Even though I'm feeling so reluctant to leave on Friday.
Sigh.
Purchasing luggage tomorrow afternoon and packing for the rest of the night.
Need to be awake by 630am or 7am latest on Friday morning.
Flight's at 945am.
Good luck to myself!
Sleeping too much lately.
I think I'll sleep without closing my curtain tonight.
The morning sun will wake me up hehe :)

Watching 鬥牛,要不要 now.
MIA once again :)

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Finish with Hi My Sweetheart in a day time.
HAHAHA.
It's awesome.
I like the show.
Show doesn't look that bad in the mushroom hair.
Rainie doesn't suit the "gangster" look, especially the way she sit in class.
Hahaha.

Okay, I'm going to start talking about my goal in life.
I'm going to clean up and go to bed early.
Goodnight.

Monday, February 1, 2010


Thank you for everything!
Had the best 8 hours with you today!
Talked about so many stuff that both of us had suppressed inside for so long.
<3
Don't worry about the thing that happened in the past.
All that matters now is that we're inseparable!
Others may not know that we've known each other since we're 7 years old.
& they may be surprised for the fact that we're closer than ever now.
That is not going to affect us okay.
The friendship between us is going to be rock solid that nothing can break it apart.
So what if we had problems back in Secondary 2?
It's nothing compared to the remaining 10 years we know each other.
There's no one else that I can say I'm super close with and that I've known him/her for more than a decade even though we're only 17 turning 18 this year.
Yeah, some people may comment that 11 years is nothing since they have friends who they know since kindergarten.
But what are the chances?
Not everyone will have such friendships with the people they know since young.
Okay, whatever.
Janet, don't apologise for the things that happened long ago.
"You're forgiven for everything."
Just keep that in mind.
(:
I love talking to you about just about everything.
Love you Net!
Thanks to Blackberry and BBM that we are able to contact each other everyday!
Hehe.

Oh.
We were talking about something and I admitted that I'm a super gullible person.
And Janet agreed!
Hehe, I think I am one.
Don't you think so?
I'll try to change to be someone who is not as gullible as the person I am now.
Nothing is impossible right?
If Janet could do it, (she said she was once a super gullible person too!) I can do it too!

We baked a cake today.
Super last minute decision.
A Chocolate-Espresso Cake.
I don't think it turned out as good because I did a step wrongly.
Which I hate myself for.
*sigh*
I hope you think it's all right Janet.
Sorry!!

Oh, before that we went to Far East Plaza.
Yes, again.
To buy that top-shorts thingy that I liked.
Woo, all the 3 items that I bought from Ztamp are all the last pieces that they have left.
I like that.
Ate Ya Kun, met Mommy to pass her the rest of the Ya Kun because I was full.
Yup, then bought the ingredients and we baked...
She just left home at 9 or so.
Take care of yourself girl, don't fall sick!
Even though you are already slightly sick.
Get well soon!

Okay, I better go change now.
It's already 10pm.
No idea if I'm still meeting Jerevien tomorrow.
See you, you, you, you, you, and you!
