8 more days till Puerto Rico
10 things.
1) Coffee no longer works on me, I’ve had 6 espresso shots today and I’m still falling asleep on my homework.
2) The snow still fascinates me, and I still want to build a snowman at 12am. Sadly, no one else shares my enthusiasm ):
3) I realized that in Asian countries, we have Western food delivery services and in Western countries, we have Asian food delivery services. In Pella however, you walk.
4) Family Guy has triumphed over The Simpsons for me.
5) I am going to Puerto Rico for spring break
6) I really miss Malaysia - the food, the people, the lifestyle.
7) I have met a whole lot of interesting characters here. But no one in the world can replace my sweet.tarts.
I spend my free time in the Math wing, I have officially stereotyped myself for being the Asian-math-nerd-person.
9) I really like dark chocolate, you know what I mean.
10) I’m still loud, don’t worry.

I know, the entire month of February I magically disappeared from the face of the earth.
Oh come on,
if you read me often enough you know constant disappearance is a norm with me.So far, Central has really grown on me.
I’m liking this place more and more by the day.
Getting to classes, working, studying, homework and trying to have fun and making new friends all at once makes life prettty hectic. But I love it. College has been pretty amazing so far.
Anyways, this is a quickie, I have class soon ): But I figure I do owe you guys pictures of my room.
Well, that’s all for now. Class time 
Later!
Later!Hello, hello.
Minor updates;
1. I got the Droid Eris.
With that, I can use my Google Voice and guess what? I have unlimited texting to Malaysia, England, America, Timbaktoo, etc.It’s also wayyy cheaper for me to call Malaysia this way. Like, WAYYY cheaper. Usually it would be $2something/minute without Google Voice, but WITH Google Voice, it’s only $0.04/minute.
Though it takes time getting used to this, especially since the Droid Eris is all touchscreen. Last night I was trying to learn my phone and God knows what I accidentally touched, I ter-called the house phone and it started ringing at 12.30am and I totally panicked! o.o
Anyways, no more nerd talk, the phone is awesome, nuff said.
2. It is move-in day tomorrow.
Byebye Des Moines, Hello Pella.
I’m kinda (very) excited.
It’s like I’ve been waiting FOREVER for tomorrow to happen.
Well, like I said, minor updates.
I have to go figure out what to do with my eyebrows now.
Byeeeeee.
Hmm, I kinda got the Samsung Rogue which is beautiful, but then my uncle thought that the Droid Eris would be a better option because the data plan would allow me to have unlimited sms AND 4cents/minute calls to Malaysia rather than the usual 2.50/minute calls. Oh, and it’s super fabulous.
I also met up with Anna (my roomie) and Sam (her boyfriend) today. I love Anna&Sam, they’re perfect together and they’re so niceee and funny. We went out for ice-cream and then we went back to Sams house cause apparently they had a present for me. They only gave me two clues;
super pink & I would love it.
Just seeing the box made me love it already,
I love HelloKitty more than I love ice-cream, and I REALLY love ice-cream.
I love reading blogs, I think my favourite blog to read is SarahLee’s. She always updates, and I know many people just like looking at pixels, but I loveee reading what she writes. She could write forever and ever and I could just read forever and ever, that’s why I love following her. But if you ever had to “follow” MY blog, you’d be very frustrated. Sometimes, I just have writers block, and my mind seems to be empty, birds flying all over OR my mind could be too crammed with a million birds all trying to fly their way around. But right now, it’s not a writers block. I’m kinda enjoying Iowa, I love it so much here. This place is so very different from my Malaysian city life. I miss my scene back home, but things are so different here my mind is so overwhelmed by everything. I want to write about it, and take pictures to show you guys. But words and pixels just don’t do justice, you have to be here, with the cold wind brushing your face and the glittering sky when the sun shines on the snow to really understand what I’m talking about. I lovee this place. Although the cold can be cruel sometimes, most of the time it just intoxicates you with smiles and shivers. Summer sounds beautiful too, I miss running around in my shorts and flipflops, and I miss the smell of the rain, but I barely think about that when I’m in this winter wonderland.
For some reason, mornings seem more appealing here than back home. Maybe because the noise starts earlier in Malaysia. But in Grimes, it’s so nice and quiett and everything is so pretty here. In the morning, deers come out from the forest and walk near our house. I wish I could see more of that. And I love breakfast, it’s my new favourite meal-of-the-day. We always have something good to eat. Egg casserole, gorrila buns, cinnamon rolls, yumm.
“Morning. Strawberry sky dusted with white winter powder sugar sun.”
Anywhos,
I’ve been doing good if you’re wondering, I’ve adjusted to the cold and I’ve stopped complaining about it (: I haven’t really been doing much, cept a lot of shopping. 60% of the stuff I shopped for was for college and the remaining 40% was for all my winterclothes. All that’s left right now is stuff to decorate my room with. My roommate Anna is amazing. I’ve met her once (so far) but I know I’m going to love her forever because the way she deals with my obsession for pink is amazing. Speaking of pink,
look at the rug I got for our room (:
Everytime I look at it, my heart skips a few thousand beats.
Hmm,
I honestly can’t wait till it’s move-in day for Central. My parents planted the going to Central idea when I was sooo small (literally and figuratively, I used to be tiny back then ): I hate all the PMR/SPM weight), so it feels like I’ve been waiting forever for this to happen. And in four more days, I’ll be in the room right next the room my aunt had 20 years ago. It feels so good. I can’t wait for this new life, Independence, experience, people and even the education.
Ooooh, just a few more days.
I miss my friends; Shalina I miss calling you at 6pm everyday.
I wish you were at Central with me.
I would give up pink for you,
I miss you homie,
Hello my beautiful, patient and very awesome readers;
UPDATES.
1. I am starting to fall head over heels in love with Iowa, the snow, the cold, the moon that appears at 4pm, the very starry sky where Jupiter is often visible and can be seen with the naked eye and oh, everything about this place makes me feel fuzzy inside.
2. Did you know “Yo” is a real word? Well, it is.
3. In America, the food is so GOOD (Yummy-good, definitely NOT healthy-good).
4. In America, I can watch everything online, without downloading and man streaming is so fast.
5. In America, everything is so cheap it makes me want to cry. I am currently looking into a Blackberry that cost $9.99 (with a 2 year plan of course). Ricekrispies cost $2. Yes, this is heaven.
6. I met my roommate Anna, and she’s amazing and I lalalove her already.
7. College is starting very soon and I am sooo excited about my liberal arts education.
I should go now. How I Met Your Mother calls.
So I spent my new years watching How I Met Your Mother, drinking coke and forcing myself to stay awake. I’ve been here for 11days and I’m still struggling to stay awake, stupid jetlag
I think 2009 was a very significant year for me.
Mostly because it marked the end of my highschool life.
The year I sat for SPM.
My majorproject, In Africa’s Shoes.
I don’t have any regrets of how I spent 2009.
Cept that I really wish I gave my stupid Math and Biology teachers a piece of my mind, grr.
But besides that,
2009 was brilliant.
And I hope 2010 won’t let me down as well.
Oh,
we saw Jupiter last night.
I love the sky here.
Happy New Years
Ever since I got to Iowa, I haven’t exactly done amazingly-exciting-blogworthy things (therefore lack of Iowa-related posts). And we reached before Christmas, so we were super busy with Christmas preparations and after Christmas I managed to get a lot of shopping done and well, I fall sick, obviously.
I’m not ME if I don’t fall sick.
It’s like, Madonna makes music.
I make doctor bills.
Oh wells…
I will, however, entertain you with a couple of interesting pixels.
I can already hear you guys go “yay!”
This is the reason I LOVE America, cinnamon rolls the size of my FACE;
This is the backyard, where Anjali, Aidan (my cousins) and I had a snowball fight. After 5 minutes I gave up trying to run in the snow and just decided to sit and let them throw snowballs at me;
This is the awesome gingerbread train my awesome aunt made. Don’t you just LOVEEE it??
And finally,
this is me, loving/hating the snow;
Oh wells, until next time. x
