su ann i visited your blog like TEN times today just to check for updates cos i was getting really sure you would update soon! hehe...
CONGRATS on choosing Columbia omg actually I'm being very silly cos I haven't even finished reading your post but I wanted the novelty of being first hahaha why so suaku right haha :P
I will see you! Soon!! :)
p.s. I want both shirts hahaha.
(ps: late has a lot other meanings associated with it :P)
i've been striken by pangs of regret lately for not looking at other available choices and for living, breathing NUS buta buta all the way since 16. i blame this guilt trip on finals. grr.
anyway, good on you for your decision! :)
and yay nyc is much nearer to me than upenn anyway =) and i have lotsa friends there who know all the BEST nightspots!!! cant wait cant wait cant wait!
and i'm going to watch ironman tonight, despite my exams being less than 2 weeks away. :( haha you just made me feel tonnes less guilty about it :P
and i can't wait to go to bkk to shop!! it's been on my agenda forever, but my parents don't let :( but i will go!! if not my name is not NFJ!!!. hahah :P besides chatuchak, khao san road, the wholesale shopping malls, anywhere else you'd recommend? thanks!
LOL.
come visit philly one day though! lol
I so agree that IronMan is hot! haha. :D Gold and hot rod red has never been that hot! :p
Also I root for Little Miss Late, because YOU REALLY ARE, and you are too politically correct to be bossy. How much are they in Bangkok!
Glad to see u've decided.
I'm commenter 24!!!!! wahey!!
However, congratz! finally you have made up your mind! So many great things to come in your future.
Pick the Miss Late one, hahaha..because..erm...its pink?
And I would repeat what I have been telling a lot of those new Ivy Leaguers or those who get into similarly great schools.
Getting in is just the first step. You can celebrate now, but once you step in there, do remember of all the hard work that you have put in to get that far, and also more importantly, the opportunities that you have been granted! It is going to be a new phase of your life, and you can make or break it.
Do grab all the opportunities that come your way over there! There's gonna be tons of it! Don't overcommit and overburden yourself as well, as I have seen a number of overzealous people (including myself) get ownself overwhelmed. So, pace yourself.
Of course, having fun is part and parcel of learning. Try out all those interesting things that you ever imagine yourself going to do! Grade is not everything. You have all the material to make good, and I want to see you succeed. (Making me sound like an old grandpa talking....hahaha)
List down 10 or 20 new things (it could even be crazy) things that you have never done and going to do over the next few years, and then get it done! You are going to a land of freedom!
Wish you all the best! Will from time to time, check with you or read here on those interesting journey that you will go through in the next few years!
WELCOME TO COLUMBIA, again!! :P One more Malaysian!! Hopefully, you speak Hokkien. I'm Hokkien-deprived. Even if you don't, still, WELCOME!!!!
congrats su ann! ive never met you before but *HUG*!
congrats on Columbia! living in New York would definitely be challenging yet exciting at the same time!
qjc : thank u so much :) yes i know i will love NYC and columbia.
andy : HAHA dont say things like that!!!
eunice : NUS isnt so bad wat! there's an NUS grad this year who got into harvard MIT stanford for grad school engineering!
HK : come i pack u in my bag!
twinkle : i actually dont watch sex and the city, so i wouldnt know where the sets are :( but i do watch gossip girl!!
smartypants : im actually very excited about packing!!! hehe. okay maybe not really :(
foreverjas : forever21 carries junk food tees? hmm! i didnt know that. oh and i didnt buy either shirts...
iamthewitch : ya all just because they're scared to put their name and face to any decision. so cowardly.
sweatlee : yesyes thank u suet li for gossiping and taking my mind off worrisome things. ok when u come to NYC again u can bunk with me :D
beetrice : HAHAHA "oh shit!" hahahaaaha
scott : by the looks of it, you gotta get ooseung that little miss dangerous shirt in a couple of years :D either for her looks, or for the jiujitsu you're going to teach her. or both!
KY : ah but i bet pepper potts has a bank account. how boring and run of the mill!!! iron man would want someone more unconventional !!!
entwined : you wont regret iron man! okay chatuchak is the number one place to go to - wait for my review on it ok :D khao san road used to be my number two but over the past year i've realized that the (previously quite good) shopping has somewhat diminished and given more space to the pub/bar culture there. so i would say the next place to go is Platinum mall. cheapppppp stuff, the clothes you can find in all those bangsar boutiques. Suan Lum night bazaar is good too, a cleaner more organized version of chatuchak. Siam Square and its surrounding boutiques (on the streets) and its malls for quirky girly stuff, but defintiely a lot more expensive than the other 3 places.
michelle c : haha omg no! that costume makes the man so inaccessible. i so heart iron man when he was fixing and building all those stuff. so manly *heart*
matt : i am definitely visiting!!! thanks again for everything matt :)
desmond : thank u ! will do :)
fel : i suddenly cant waittttt to go to college! ohh iron man! *deep sigh
skyler : what is nyfa! yes yes stay near meeeee. eh you dont know how bossy i can be ok :P they were RM 15 for opening price, bargained down to rm13! but i ended up not buying them anyway....
jia meei : thank youuu :D i'm suddenly very excited about college. and yes am feeling much better, after some fries and ice cream!
jas : yes now i'm trying to put all the other 'what ifs' out of my head.. :)
k0k : omg commenter number 24!! i give u a prize ok :D enjoy iron man!
grace : YES you have no idea how hard it was. i didnt sign the card until i arrived at the post office. sigh. oh i ended up not buying either tshirt!
chen chow : hahaha thank you so much for everything. eh overzealous turned out well for you didnt it :D sigh. i'm so excited now, grandpa chen chow :P
sheon : president bush is going to be obsolete in 7 months' time.. :D surely you can do better than that!!
reallybites : hah angry at what! what joke you want to tell me!
jiayoong : rm15 then bargained down to rm13. hehe cheap leh.
manda : i'm really so excited nowwwww. yes one more malaysian.. hopefully more next year, especially hokkien speaking ones, because i dont speak hokkien :P
miss p : thank u!!! *hugs :)
ra : haha the original tees sell for about RM 90 here. (that's about 12 pounds in conversion?). in bangkok they were going for RM 15, then RM 13 after bargaining. hahaha it's ridiculous how cheap bangkok shopping is
miss p : sometimes i understand their situation about not wanting to be in a difficult position, but i think it's really cowardly when they dont even dare to form an opinion about it. even saying something like "ya i know this was wrong, but i'd prefer to stay out of it" is better than just "dont know lah dont want to involve myself" -_____-
erin : unfortunately i dont really know how to answer that question right now. sorry :(
Congratulations on the Columbia Scholar offer!! Go and take the place by storm ok! And if you find any good Malaysian restaurants please tell me hahaha.
(I vote the shirt on the left because it's grey. HAH)
Everyone Loves Su Ann laa, don't need to announce
a stupid joke!
anyway i'm hunting for Little Miss Bossy since forever already! I WANT IT
Btw, I am the worst sitter-on-the-fence ever when it comes to things like er, deciding what to pick for entrees or buying a new pair of shoes wtf.
But never ever about things that matter - cos that's called weaseling out of it. Not cool at all.
Anyway, I have a long personal view about neutrality and making a stand. Pretty recently, I've gone through this experiece where the person you care most choose to remain neutral, even after listening to both sides (and many sides -_-), as well as experiencing the shits himself ( i too had to suffer, grrr)
But at the end of the day, despite getting negative feedbacks about this girl from various people (this girl who happens to be his best friend, ugh), despite both of us getting harrassed by her tantrums, despite her childishness, despite all the things she put up against me, the person I care most does not want to take sides and this was mentally disturbing as I do not understand his choice, even after like u said "...when all the bare facts are laid before you on the table..."
After the end of this period, they were back to happy caring friends, as if nothing had happened. And this, I can never bring myself to comprehend why. His justifications would be "I know her better, and no matter what happens, she's still a friend"...which makes me feel very much betrayed after all she had put us through.
I wish he'd take a stand, and is able to see what she has done wrong and personally I wish he'd just break off the ridiculous friendship, especially when she has put us through so much trouble and sadness.
I wish he'd see what his best friend had put me through all these months and choose to stand with me. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want, do we? :(
*sigh*
pinkpau, you know lin lee, the NUS student who got into many top unis? Yeah, Eunice, Lin Lee did very well in NUS and now she got her chance to go over at MIT for PhD.
But boy are those cupcakes and cakes worth it! *drools* AND their banana pudding... *blissful sigh.
Okay you can start memorizing the subway system now hahaha =P but I know you Columbia kids generally don't venture too far beyond the comfy confines of campus. Hehe.
NYFA is New York Film Academy hur hur hurrrr. Sigh with some luck I'll get to go before your last year in Columbia. Why discount RM 2 only I thought can cut down more than that! I also want to go T____T ask entwined go with me wtf.
Congrats once again on getting the offers, and congrats on finally making a descision. =) I'm sure u'd make the best out of it no matter which you choose.
When will u be leaving arh?
hope you have a great time at uni this fall!
hahahaha
this year hasn't disppointed yet in terms of movies.. next stop, batman!
I'm heading to the States too this fall, at Stanford. I guess I would have someone to visit when I go to NY in the summer of during breaks! =)
i initially said you will defo go to upenn but after reading that you will be a scholar at columbia, theres no way i am still going to vote for upenn after that!!! so much perks for being a scholar and only a minority of people are chosen each year obviously its not something you should let pass.
you will do great su ann! (as if we dont all know already)
Oh, I haven't watch ironman... movie tickets in aus quite expensive. But after hearing ur excitement for tony stark, I think I should! :D
It would be so awesome if I could meet you when I visit New York. But by train it already takes almost two hours to get to NY from Princeton. It's close enough! Can't wait to pack up and start the college experience this fall, can you?! :D
And Jin Tik, I thought you didn't read blogs very much. Lol.
Hehe, lately only I go and tengok people's blogs, including yours! I really feel like I have to have one, just for image's sake! lol.
you're gonna have a fun time =)
And i think it's very mature of you..the way u handle problems and how you deal with people. That inspires me a lot!
Also, I agree, Iron Man was amazing. I got to go today and I really enjoyed it. Yay for good superhero movies! (I unabashedly sound like a 3rd grader, lol).
btw are you gonna blog abt the mdg finale? would love to see the pics u've taken and your views on the results. :)
chris : hahahahaha eh eh dont misunderstand... im not talking about what you think im talking about... if you are even talking about what i think you're talking about..
reallybites : yes i knew you will understand my angst at fence-sitters..!! :D ok faster tell ur stupid joke
chm : haha i highly doubt they think it's their loss ok :P it's MY loss if i dont get into any schools!!
vvens : ei that day i saw it!!! at the curve's flea market.. the shop right outside laundry bar. there were many little miss bossy tshirts there, in diff colors
joshuaongys : if got pimple then can :P nice meeting u too!
WP : neither =( i ended up buying bikinis instead
michellesy : yes exactly! weaseling or waffling! :D
prisonbreak : thank you! i hear you are a good tv show , but only in the first season
tricia : deal! ah i couldnt stop blogging or writing even if i tried :)
okthxbai : to be honest i dont really know how to answer your question right now :(
doreen : i've gone through and observed cases similar to yours, but none where the fencesitting party was the person you cared about most :( this friend of yours sounds like an extremely loyal friend, and i understand how it may seem how choosing to remain neutral feels like a move taken against you. it's a sucky feeling but at the end of the day you have to take a step back and marvel at your friend's loyalty :) not many people are able to stand up for their friends despite such overwhelming dissent. having said that, and i speak from vast experience (hahaha), sometimes people like your friend's evil-sounding best friend destroy themselves, and the best thing you can do about it is .. nothing at all :)
chenchow : no i dunno her! but u mentioned her, so im passing back the info to eunice who sounds very depressed in NUS :P
carol : WAH why your semester starts so late wan!! no lah i'll wait for you then we go together ok :P is it really as good as they say? "you columba kids" hahaha

therealanon : die lah am i really as late as my reputation claims =( leaving late august
foreverjas : indeed !
songjun : did you just call me a piggy moniker!
steph : bucket races!! hahaha awesome. ah i cant club in bangkok :( too young and they never let me in :(
george : i cant waittttttttt for batman, wanted, time travelers wife, the lovely bones!!
jin tik : yeah it was really hard deciding which school. but i think i've made the right choice :) all the best at stanforddddd and yes please do drop by NY when you can!!
pegsywegsy : thank u so much :) i'm still feeling a little bit daunted at this whole thing tho. i was very lucky about the scholar thing, and ya i'm sure it'll bring an abundance of opportunities which i shouldnt let slip!
yappy : yup, new york new york! ahhhhh faster go watch iron man!
jane : you go to princeton! i should have known, from your stellar advice previously :P yessss cant wait. nervous but hella excited!
wunmin : haha ya i will i will :D
zhi wei : why you wanna resist! where are you going to study?
liz : those could be the original ones but i highly doubt it.. the oris sell for a lot more than rm39.90 !! sigh in bangkok so cheap. but fake lah :D

jeff : without inner children, there will be no movies like batman and iron man.. :)
lu : thank uuuu :D
jk : i'm not, unfortunately :( i was late and missed a good chunk of the show, and my pictures arent as nice as some of those out there. as for my commentary, i believe it's shared by 90% of MDG viewers if you know what i mean :P
cupcake : it's never too early to start reading up on applying! you're actually a little bit later than most, because people usually take their SATs around now :) feel free to email me if you have any questions about the application process!
cheryl : you can place orders with me.. haha i'm going back to bangkok sometime next month i think. I THINK lah :D otherwise you can get them from some shops in bangsar and the flea market at the curve!
Anyway, I always knew there's something special about you, and I kept telling everyone that all the girls should look up to you. Have fun when you get to NYC because you're gonna come back a star. Better not forget me when that happens. ;)

p.s. it does feel daunting when you think about it. but once you get there, it will all be forgotten. you will be too busy to soak it all up to feel it. eh, why do you remind me of rory gilmore? ahahahaha
Well, is kinda disappointed to know that you rejected chicago, cause in that case there will be none female freshmen from malaysia... Ha ha~
Good luck and all the best to you in Columbia... Maybe we can meet up someday in chicago or nyc! take care!
