Hello New York

Happy to have J coming over n spent the 2 days before gg to New York just chillin out in San Diego. Went down to the zoo w Laura on e 1st day. E lovely gal skipped all her classes to b with us aww. Followed by dinner w so yeon jk jinny n Laura n the day ended with our Chinese poker game session w Laura n Jackie.

The next day was spent just chilling out at fashion valley n driving to LA. Stumbled upon sunset market along our way at Oceanside n it's pretty awesome.

N after a torturous night of flight, we finally arrive in NY n joined by e rest of our travelling mates. NY is pretty good so far. It feels really different from California n much closer to e America we perceive on TV. Pretty cool n I'm looking forward to seeing more of NY tmr!!

N again welcome J! N thanks for taking care of me.

uncertainties

just filed my petition finally for transcript change. after DAYS of going around campus meeting professors and deans to obtain the signatures to approve of my petition to the academic senate. i feel almost like those crazy maniac fans who go after the celebs for signatures. it's so energy and mood draining.

and now it's just trying to live with the anxiety of uncertainties. mongolia project and transcript.

fingers crossed and constant prayers. May the my prince of peace save the day again for me.

on the rock of ages I shall stand.

apprehensive

apprehension rises

But faith surges...

as time slowly fades away and we're moving closer and closer to stepping into mongolia and executing my dream of two years. there's just so much uncertainties and lack of confidence. issues emerged as issues are resolved. however at the same time, praise God that instead of crumbling, I feel a mounting strength coming to face the challenges. I'm prepared.

touched by His love

my soul finds rest...

counting grace

Thank you for the grace shown in blessing me with...

a wonderful school term on exchange

the wonderful friendships and great companion of sincere friends

more than just a shelter wherever I go but the warmth and hospitality of friends

Happy Easter!

my lord You died, You live, You always will be...the One and Only.

my 1st and fave chinese friend

my room upgrade :)

my fave korean people! :)

Felt the tremor of the earthquake in Mexico. 1st ever experience of an earthquake. pretty thrilling :)

Shaking starts...

Me: is it an earthquake

Laura: seems like maybe...

desk and seats shaking more intensely, cupboard burst opened

Laura: Should we escape?

Screaming in the background

Me: I think maybe...

cry me a river

one stupid mistake of falling into the trap of the ambiguous phrasing of "letter" led to the totally intellectually challenged mistake of choosing the wrong option for transcript led to the current tragedy and potential catastrophe of not being able to transfer any of the credits back...

will i have to end up taking special semester and overloading with 6 mods per sem till i grad?

Lord save me~~~

Independence

Hobo life really pushes the boundary of independence. After the thousand miles travel to Canada n back I find myself more comfortable n daring to travel alone in a foreign land.



So following the shopping n dinner with myself at UTC yesterday, I took a bus out today again for lunch n all e way to balboa park to meet kexin & co. With the aid of google map of cos. Wonders of technology.

N now I'm chilling out at a cafe in balboa while waiting for e rest to arrive. I really enjoy chilling out by myself at cafe, just people watching. :)
