So the fair itself.
We went on the day before to Midvalley to set up our booth. Due to lack of space, Mount Holyoke and Wabash College had to share a booth. But at least we weren’t like Smith and Wellesley – two women’s colleges who had to share wtf.
Mum and Ooib hard at work.
Me not being hard at work.
Still not doing work wtf.
Thumbs down to Wesleyan wtf. Actually I have a few friends going to Wesleyan okay! But the Malaysian bunch manning the booth I dunno why were so lansi. I kept wanting to go over and talk to them but they refused to look at us also wtf. Just cos got a lot of them so they think they’re all that isit! Like I kept going around and talking to the other colleges but Wesleyan just stuck to each other and sat on each other’s laps and played with their laptop wtf.
Ooib promoting Wabash. (and bitching about their rival Depauw)
Ooib and Suet during a quiet moment wtf. See all the Mt Holyoke deco behind!
And the Moho sign Suet made.
No pictures of visitors cos I dunno if they would like it.
The whole day was pretty interesting but tiring. The Smith and Wellesley girls are really nice so everyone can go over to their booth mmkay wtf. Plus I have mutual friends with the Wellesley girl – very surreal actually to meet someone from Malaysia and find out you know the same people from America.
And I got a free tshirt from Cornell wheee. There were only 2 decent looking guys in the whole fair okay. The first one I spotted cos of his haircut damn nice and he had very nice cheekbones and nose and eyes. Damn cute okay totally my type and I kept nudging Suet to look at him. (Suet: “Why are you like this! You’re here to promote MHC ok”) And then I found out he’s some scholarship recipient from University Malaya to attend grad school in the US. Do you know how smart that makes him! For a Chinese to get into UM and then win a grad school scholarship! 
But then when he stood up and walked to the stage I was crushed wtf because the way he walked was so ah na! I dunno whether he’s effeminate or just shy but lack of confidence is such a turn off ok >(
Anyway the 2nd best looking guy in the fair lags a great deal behind him but he’s from Cornell and has confidence wtf and when I asked him for a tshirt he gave one to me.
I was very surprised by the number of people who had actually heard of liberal arts and Moho. All the girls who approached us knew so much about Moho already and were damn interested in applying. So impressive ok! And the thing is, all of them fit the Moho profile so well – smart, serious, focused high-achieving people. Don’t ask me how I dropped through the cracks la.
And the parents were all so nice and supportive too! Don’t think that all Asian parents only want their kids to take up law, medicine, accountancy and engineering okay. Most of the parents I met were really interested in finding out what other good opportunities lay for their kids.
Oh except for one asshole man. He barrelled into our booth while I was eating the fries that came with my lunch and said “So who is going to tell me about your college? Don’t just sit there eating and sleeping.”
WTF like I’m so free to sleep at my booth! And I’m not human isit don’t need to eat ar I’ve been sitting there the whole morning without break already!
Then he went on: “There’s only 3 things in life: eating, sleeping and waiting to die.” Then he laughed at his own joke mat 7.
Fucking obnoxious okay he kept waving his hand near my face and invading my personal space wtf.
Asked a lot of nonsense questions. He even jabbed a finger near my eye and said “eh why is your eye blue?” and he didn’t know how to pronounce Mount Holyoke and when I told him he said it sounds French WTF.
Then he kept saying I look like Nicole Richie! He turned to this guy I’d just met (who was a UK grad) and asked him if he thought so. When the guy said he doesn’t know who Nicole Richie is, the asshole said “aiya UK grads don’t know anything wan la! Aust grads are even worse! That’s why I sent my children all to US schools.”
WTF! I tell you, with this kind of character you send him to study under George Washington also no use la okay. Fucking uncivilised ok.
Next he scolded me for not giving him a seat. Then he proceeded to pull Ooib’s facilitator chair and sit in it himself.
“You ar no manners don’t know how to ask your elders to sit down! We’re old already you have to show us some respect.”
I damn beh tahan so I said, “Sorry ah, US education didn’t teach me this kind of thing.”
Then he faltered for a while before saying, “What about when you’re in Malaysia? Your parents and teachers didn’t teach you?”
I dunno what I would have said if Ooib hadn’t said smoothly, “Aiya uncle you don’t look old that’s why we never give you a chair.” wtf.
The chairs are meant for us the facilitators okay! Only got 2 chairs there for me, Suet and Ooib already somore this cibai wanna come and take one for himself.
Some more I didn’t know how to react to him cos he’s an old guy I’m brought up not to scold old people okay.
*burning fury wtf

Hey Audrey! I’m Darell (a girl, with a ridiculously spelt guy’s name), and I’ve been reading your kickass blog for quite some time now! It was great to see you and suet manning the MoHo booth at discover! I was there too, but pretty much stuck at the yale booth answering weirdass questions about what brand of SAT books I use. =.= (on hindsight i should have gone up to you and introduced myself when talking to suet wtf. silly me)
Hey, I think I know which cornell guy you’re talking about! 😉 A rising freshman, right? HOW COME YOU GOT A CORNELL SHIRT FREE!!! I WANT ONE ALSO!!! Grrr. >=( Lol, that rude old man is such an idiot! What was he expecting? Chairs and a red carpet for him at an edufair??
P.S: MoHo’s such an intrinsically funny word! MoHo..MoHo..MoHo..HoMo…wahahahah!
haha very funny darell yalie yaleei *tries to think of ways to make fun of yale students wtf
don’t worry i told audrey all about you wtf, but didn’t have time to introduce both of you (actually lying one, i had SOOO much time cause our booth quite quiet)
Hahah I kept thinking about how I wanted a Cornell shirt too until I remembered I had one. I so wanted to go and meet two of my favourite bloggers but didn’t work out la.
Li Tat was lazy to go so if he still has any questions about US education you discuss it with him over dinner *business like
And I like old people in general but I don’t like rude old people but we still have to be nice to them so well done Aud wtf
Hey, kudos on the post. Its the most interesting one I’ve read so far about the fair. I was also one of the facilitators at the fair though I don’t think I had such a good crowd visiting the booth. Anyway, no wonder the shirt disappeared at the end of the day. I thought he kept it or something.
that old man damn kau lansi ar. I also felt angry after reading bout it. tell him to sim lan hoi la sei lou ye, mmm hou hai tou ah ci ah co.
He wan respect, he got to gain it. to respect him coz hes old?? I’ll respect him more if he’s dead. siow!

Hi Audrey,
I’m actually the girl at the Wes Booth. I’m sorry we gave you the impression that we’re abit lansi.. =p We’re not lar actually.. I think its because I told all the guys that you’re a blogger that I read. I even wanted to come over and take pictures with u, but then I thot like so weird lidat.. So while trying to balance out wanting to tell you I read your blog and not trying to look like a pyscho stalker, I think we all took it to the extreme. Perhaps we could talk for real next time? =)
Jess: Haha hello! Sorry for saying you’re lansi then. You should have just come over, cos I do know a couple of guys from Wesleyan so I really wanted to come over and ask you guys if you knew them. Which Wesleyan girl are you btw? The one with short hair or the one in kebaya?
Audrey, I was in the same booth as the guy. 😛 And there I was wondering how he knew such a famous blogger. Hehe.
LOL I’m so disappointed in Barry.. he has lost his touch! he would have given that old guy more than a piece of his mind..but yeah, it’s good enough and funny too! lol!
i’m also brought up not to be rude to old people. ;\ … but i don’t mind glaring at random conservative old folks who look me up and down when i wear short shorts.
=) sounds fun! wonder how would they react knowing that the people manning the booth are related..:)
Appearances can be deceiving…*bats eyelids innocently* 🙂
Hmph, the first person I met at 7.45 am while wandering around the booths was him! And he was holding on to that shirt, haha. But YOU got it in the end! 😛
Suet, at least you’ve got people at your booth who know what they want instead of a horde of people insisting on actuarial science and biotech even though there’s no major like that at yale! yay for LACs!!
Im Ray from New York le. I dont think u know me but now u do. Cheers!
ahey audrey, this is kaddy, one of the lansi guys from wesleyan 😉
haha sry that we gave u such impression, but i think that is most probably becoz of the obnoxious uncle that you mentioned actually spent like 2 hours at our booth T.T and all of us had to take turn to entertain him..so we were v exhausted for the rest of the day as a result..
the uncle even asked about my family, family name, and scolded my dad for not following the traditional chinese generation middle name wtf. and at one point he was standing so close to me he was even touching my arm!!! can you imagine how traumatised i was!
P.S. this is the first time i read ur blog, and am awe-struck by the artful use of wtf haha
I feel so left out T3T Why was I not there ? T______T Makes me miss you even more T_________T and your story with that man damn funny HAHAHAHAHAH..
okay now let me get to the most important question .. what are you going to do w/ your hair after you take off your extensions ?!??!?!?!
Jun Hui: oh you should have said hi! he just started talking to me that’s how we got to know each other.
jayelle: haha that’s cos your legs are so long that’s why they stare at you! nobody looks at me ok *sad wtf. haha we did tell the people who came that we were siblings la.
darell: u guys were there at 7.45?! shit now i feel bad for taking his only shirt.. T___T
ray: oh haha nice to meet u!
kaddy: hi lansi guy from wesleyan wtf. seriously who is that guy! was he just trying to pass his sunday away by being such a prick to poor college students ar wtf.
