Due to lack of things to blog about...

Imagine this:

Me: Hi, I'm Caryn.
(pronounced Curr-reen or Care-reen, depending on my mood)
Not me: You are Korean?
Me: No, my name is Caryn.
Not me: Oh, I thought you said you are Korean.
Me: Yeah, I've been told that before...

...many times before...

Weirdo

I wonder how many other 19 year old girls make pita bread when they can't go back sleep at night...

Evidently, I am most excited about the return of my camera.

The return of the...

...CAMERA!!!

My little Malaysia-U.S. adapter-thing is in my possession again. So I can now charge my camera, take pictures, put pictures on my blog, and make everyone happy. Are you happy? Coz I know I am. *big smiley face*

So here's the first picture in a veli veli long time:

Food! A few of us Malaysians got together at my place to makan. The scary red thing in the pot was scratched up by yours truly. I'm praying I don't get a call complaining about stomach aches tonight...

But yes, moving on...here is a long overdue glimpse of my apartment...I figured that after my pre-dinner party cleaning fest, I'd snap these pics before everything gets messed up again.

So that's the living room...which ironically, is my least lived in room. I usually hover in between my bedroom...

...and the kitchen.

...and the bathroom. The bathroom is very important. And since I'm in the bathroom...

...I might as well make use of the mirror there, to prove to my mama that I'm still alive.

1990 baby.

Disclaimer: This is my "stress" level. Not my STRESS level. Stress is relative in my world, and I am not stressed. Understanding? Sh'o kever!!
My point is...my Mondays, Tuesdays, & Wednesdays are crazy-busy whereas my Thursday through weekends are relatively chillaxed. Saturday is a particularly chillaxed day...I could even dub it frozexed. (Heehee. Zero = freezing point. Sorry. Lame Cow humour.)

So today is Thursday. The begining of the negative gradient, and I finally have the space and time to blog about the birthday, and reply the 2.563 zillion facebook messages on my page. I'm not a snob, I'll get to them asap. Promise.

So last Sunday, the housemates, Eonni 1 and Eonni 2 made Korean bday soup, baked a cake, and stuck two candles on it. "2" and "0". Apparently I turn 20 this year. But that's all good, we can recycle those candles for Awn-Nee 1's big three-zero bday next year...and Awn-Nee 2's twenty something bday as well. See? Economical. Ta-jie, who's bday was 2 weeks ago joined in the mini celebration. And...that was just the beginning of the festivities!

You see, when I got into work on Monday, I found out that my boss' other employee is taking a 1 month study break. More work for me! After that when I went to class, the Stats prof gave me my long awaited present - a test. And then I got another present on Wednesday in the form of yet another test. So basically I celebrated my birthday by studying for tests, rushing homework, doing projects, and working extra hard. =)

So thank you all for the wishes, I'll be replying you all when I have time to breathe a little. But now, I'll be taking my 7:30 am nap before going to class.

Note: Eonni is Korean for "Big Sister". Just so you know.

Choices!

Its about the time of the year where I have to choose between...

...grabbing my hoodie and looking cool.

or

...bundling up in my coat and looking like a dork.


I choose dork. Dignity, where did you go?

Patience is...

Patience is slicing up a (huge S) bangkuang & 3 carrots to make popiah with a paring knife.

Prayer is...

Prayer is not about asking for things. Neither is it about saving the world. It is about learning the song of the Father's heart, and singing it back to Him.
