USA for students

Yesterday was the US education fair!

The night before we sat down in Ooib’s room and made posters and collages to decorate our booth. Cos we are kiasu like that plus not many Malaysians know about liberal arts so we need to attract more attention ok wtf.


Looking busy.


And then there’s Ooib looking like a tool hahahaha

On the day of the fair, I woke up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

And then I couldn’t even finish brushing my teeth before feeling like I really had to vomit so I finished brushing in 10 seconds and ran to the toilet bowl T____________T

I think it’s my stupid birth control pills again la! Cos when I woke up already I felt hungry to the point of starvation and I think the nausea was due to the air in my empty stomach.

The nausea passed so I got up again and faster got some bread and jam to eat while doing my hair and makeup.

But right after I finished curling my hair I felt like I was going to vomit again so I went downstairs and took Chinese medicine and then I felt better cos some air came up.

But then right before I got into the car I had to puke again so I had to squat down by the drain damn pathetic ok to wait for the pang to pass T________T

Then I got into the car with a plastic bucket and a plastic bag WTF.

And spent most of the journey on the edge of my seat with a plastic bag below my chin staring miserably out of the window.

And then finally I threw up in the car into the plastic bag T________________T

DAMN GROSS OK I WAS AS SICK AS A DOG YET I STILL MADE MYSELF GO FOR THE EDUCATION FAIR ARE YOU NOT PROUD OF MY DEDICATION WTF.

I was puking my guts out in the car and wishing someone would pat my back to make me feel better but no such luck (suchaluck mild boonipat wtf)

I looked at Ooib who was sitting next to me and he had his eyes shut and his fingers stuffed into his ears WTF DAMN WEAK OK WHY AM I BLESSED WITH SUCH A BROTHER

I have a good mind to refer to him as Ah Weak from now wtf.

After I threw up I felt a bit better and Mummy Ooi was stuck carrying my puke while looking for a trash can wtf.


Me and Suet and Emily (incoming firstie at Mount Holyoke!) at our booth.

I was still feeling quite sick and nauseous but thank god it passed and then to make up for it I ate two Macdonald lunches wtf.


At first there weren’t many people at the fair and even less people who came to our booth, but it picked up later.

But I was under the mindset that not many people came to talk to us so I kept disappearing to talk to other colleges about their grad programs.

Ooib and Fat Her said I have ADD (attention deficit disorder) because I couldn’t stay in one place for long and had to keep running around looking for new things to do and new people to talk to.

Truth be told, they are not the first people who have mentioned that I might have ADD because I get distracted very easily/ cannot focus for long and lose interest in things super fast which pisses people like Ooib off a lot so maybe I should get myself checked out wtf.


All pictures are of Suet and Emily talking to prospective students.

But I was busy networking okay! I got a few namecards which I can contact to talk about employment. And I also went up to the diplomats at the US embassy booth and asked them for a job wtf I am that thick skinned.

But they were very nice! They said I shouldn’t have a problem getting work with a Mt Holyoke degree now if only all HR personnel in Malaysia thought the same way wtf.

Dunno la maybe they were amused that I was thick skinned enough to go up and chat with them and insist that they figure out if there were places available at the embassy wtf. T3T

And I got to catch up with a lot of friends too! It was so fun to see them all again: Wai Kin (the guy who gave me his Cornell shirt and whom I owe a MHC shirt but forgot) and Shah from Cornell, Naim from UB, Emily from Bates, Hui Hsing from Smith, Shiyee from NYU, Mi Shan from Colby, the two ah peks Wei Jian from MIT and Chern Han from Princeton who called to me in Chinese (what makes him think I know Chinese wtf) to which I whined very pathetically in Hokkien “I dunno how to speak” T_T

And hello to everyone who came by our booth / I met there! It was very nice meeting so many new people and I hope we (ok mostly Suet and Emily) managed to answer everyone’s questions satisfactorily and you have all now decided to apply to Mount Holyoke wtf.

  • Hi Audrey!

    You might not remember me but I was the one who told you that I read your blog! And if that didn’t help, I was that lost, hyperactive boy from UMich speaking at Chicago’s booth!

    I just thought I’d drop by after being a passive reader of your blog for the past few months.

    Cheers.

  • Poor Audie are you feeling better 🙁 🙁 🙁

    Why Ooib like that! Own flesh and blood wtf

  • Omg, I have ADD too! That’s why I can’t stay still in lecture halls, I will start shaking my legs and stretching like a cat, and my attention will start wandering after a grand total of 5 minutes. -_- The only thing that can maintain my attention is shopping and eating and meaningful conversations– like the ones we have WTF. 😀

  • hahahaha so dumb why wud someone ask that. anyway zzz hope u r feeling better =)

  • omg if i puked so much i’d run off from the education fair and sleep all day long wtf T_T especially when i hate my current school HAHAHA !

  • but i also feel pukey if i see / hear someone puking T_T well i guess it was better that he ignored you than helped you then puked together also right hahaha

    anyway just wanted to comment that your pictures are always very nice! i always read your blog when i can 🙂 and wanted to know also erm do you noe any place in malaysia can buy kimono? not the satin kind but the cloth kind one. i’ve always wanted one but i always find those satin ones only very sad.

  • eeew… pukie puke huh? drink some warm milo or milk.. that should calm the stomach down a little. then only eat something..

    anyway, hmm.. are you gals getting paid for setting up the booth? you should because you are basically working for the school and representing them… check with them if you plan to do this again. i am sure they might pay you for the preps and other stuff…

  • @.@ the pills might not be suitable for u… my friend had it for health reasons too, and she said the best brand is Yasmin. I am not sure if USA/Malaysia can get that. She said she use to vomit a lot after the pill, but for yasmin, she never vomit and it never gives her any nausea. personally, i have never take those pills before.. just been listening to people talking about it LOL.

    Take care ^^

  • why so kesian, vomit until liddat *sayangs* need pail and plastic bag some more ok wtf.

    i get nauseous if i have medication/ vitamins on an empty stomach loh, maybe try and have some milk/ food with your pills?

    and hahah why barry liddat, see no evil and hear no evil wtf. is he the type that pukes when he sees puke ar, cos i am wtf.

  • United Front Against Barry lol

  • if im there maybe i’ll cover my ears too .. or else i’ll puke w/ u wtf

  • I was thkg the same thing as Agnes, about how ur brand of pills may not be suitable for you.

    I think I’m like Ooib. I have a minor degree of emetophobia (fear of vomiting)… google it.

    I don’t fear myself vomiting when I have too but I just hate the sensation and the sound. I have this bizarre, irrational fear of people hurling on me or in front of me. I know, I know, it’s all in my head and it’s something that I have to overcome.

    It is definitely insensitive when you close your eyes and ears when someone vomits next to you, instead of comforting them.

    But please understand that when it is a phobia, it’s something that you can’t always control.

    I think I’m better at controlling my phobia because someone vomited into a plastic bag in the backseat of the car – I was riding shotgun – not too long ago and I survived that moment 😛

    I think one incident in Bangsar — where a drunk was sick all over Pelita when people were eating!! — really cured me.

    When it happened, I just had to leave the restaurant. All the way home, I had to roll down the window to get the wind on my face and to calm me down. I felt a little sick but most of all, I felt like I was going to having a nervous breakdown. My heart was racing like I had been sprinting.

    So the next time someone got sick near me, I didn’t have the urge to vomit. So yay for me and don’t be so hard on your brother. He probably has a slight emetophobia.

  • wah ur bro looks as if like he just came out from sauna or steam room…. haha

  • ck: haha ya my mom always says i waste food cos eat so much but no difference.

    hui wen: the conversations we have /boo

    abby: thanks!:)

    devina: haha what school are you?

    cantotello: i dunno where to get it in msia. ur best bet would be an authentic japanese store? but i dunno if there is any here. you might want to get it straight from japan cos it might be really expensive here (in japan also quite expensive already)

    crash: what school did you go to? my school doesn’t pay me and i don’t expect it to either, I am doing this voluntarily because this is my way of repaying MHC for its fantastic education and I want more people to know about it.

    agnes: this pill usually doesn’t give me problems! i dunno was it because I took 2 pills in the span of 5-6 hours?

    michellesy: oh no la BC pill can take anytime wan i think!

    ap: hahaha no la i didnt know whether to laugh or get mad when i saw him

    angela: yea i think you’re the worst when it comes to this ok go to sleep when im puking T______T

    suzie: wah you have a phobia?!? i don’t thikn ooib has it la he just finds it disgusting i think haha

    senki: HAAHA why steam room?!

  • I guess gals who has bro are so used to seeing them in boxers. They just don’t freaked out like others seeing a half naked man. Aud, I salute you since you even post your half naked bro up with you in it! kakakaka….

  • birth control meds oso can control acne / hormones level besides as a birth control…
