WHO HAS USED GRE BOOKS THAT I CAN BUY, BEG, BORROW, STEAL? wtf.
I think I will try to get my GREs out of the way first because the GRE has 5 years to expire anyway, so there’s time for me to think properly what I wanna study.
And I checked with Princeton Review and GRE classes are going for RM2,000 crazy I don’t even have RM20 to my name ok wtf.
So I guess Imma try to study on my own, so whoever has any idea where I can get my hands on used copies (brand new ones are selling for RM100+) please leave a comment! Or email me at afooi@mtholyoke.edu wtf.

I hate the media la ok sigh. Thanks to it no girl is totally insusceptible to feeling fat. I weigh all of 36 kg and I know I am too skinny but sometimes I look at photos of myself and cringe at how fat my arms look or how big my face is or how chunky my calves are. This is insanity ok if I were to see pictures of someone else my size I would say very excitedly “eh why this girl so thin wan is she anorexic” wtf.
Seriously I swear most of us have anorexic tendencies inside due to the media’s warped perception of beauty la. Like I really really do know that I am small and skinny but I don’t know why sometimes I just think I look fat or it occurs to me that I shouldn’t eat so much carbs lest it catches up with me (not that I ever act on this thought ok wtf). Haih fuck the media la wtf.

Night market with Hsin, Mitchy, Dennis and Karen!
I haven’t been to the pasar malam for ages, my childhood memories of the night market consist of heat, trash on the ground, a lot of old women with Phua Chu Kang perms, dragging my heels around, dawdling waiting for my mom to buying vegetables/kuih/haggling with the stall keeper, hoping to see the dyed blue and pink chicks, and having my mother buy me sets of tshirts and shorts with a yellow-faced Mickey Mouse on them wtf.
In other words, I hated the night market.
But because Ang Moh is here and Hsin wants to take him on a tour of all things Malaysian, we set off for the pasar malam in Connaught (apparently the mother of all night markets wtf)
(BTW! Let me tell you about this Hsin she damn bad ok! Once she and Ang Moh were in a bubble tea cafe or something I forgot what it was and then I happened to be outside the store looking at snacks or something. I was wearing a green tshirt dress with a yellow belt and pink flats I think. And cos her eyesight very bad she saw me and nudged Ang Moh and said “Eh bad color combination coming our way” WTF IS THIS IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL MY BEST FRIEND
Then Ang Moh turned around and said “That’s Audrey” haih what is this even her boyfriend can recognize me and she can’t.)
Ok anyway back to night market!
It was very interesting! So many cute things to buy these days I was enthralled. And so many cheap shoes but they also look cheap wtf.
Mitchy looking at Lesportsac *cough cough
The cutest kuih!
Doraemon, Kitty chan, Pikachu, My Melody (melody song wtf), er whats this one called Kero Keroppi ar, and Tare Panda.
The uncle pouring the batter to make the kuih.
Er Dennis, if you’ve killed Doraemon I’d like his doko de mo doa please.
Ang Moh ecstatic about satay.
Using my newly bought fan to cool off the ban chang kueh.
Night market was hotter than I remembered!
Or maybe I have just forgotten how much I hate heat.
Then I spied a stall selling battery-operated mini fans!
The fans are at the bottom of the picture. So cute okay they had Hello Kitty fans too but they were kind of ugly.
I picked this dark pink one, it was so cute it was painted to look like it was a little person dressed in a strawberry outfit <3 The Club <333 WTF.
Dennis using a light pink fan to cool Karen down.
I walked away from the stall perfectly satisfied with my purchase. Observe how it moves with such speed and precision! wtf.
This was about when the blades picked up the ends of my hair and knotted it around the fan T_______________T
Damn scary ok I could feel my hair getting pulled further and further into the fan and I screamed “MY HAIR MY HAIR” and dodged around Dennis and Karen to Hsin for help T____________T
By then I had the sense to turn off the fan but it was too late my hair already looked like dreadlocks by then T__________T
I was laughing but I was also near tears T3T
And then to top things off, because I screamed so loud people stopped and stared at pointed at me T____________T Like kelefeh only okay! And then a crowd materialized causing a human traffic jam because everyone stopped to look at me just kill me la T_______________T
And then right because Dennis was trying to entangle my hair while Hsin and Mitchy went in search for scissors (!!), this stupid stall woman yelled at me okay magecibai my hair already like that she had to add insult to injury eat shit la I hope she didn’t have business that night wtf.
She yelled in Cantonese “if you wanna cut your hair please stand to the side don’t stand in front of my stall and block my business” WTF
I was already very pissed so I shouted back (in English sigh if there is a reason I should learn Cantonese it’s that I can yell back at mean people) “My hair like that you think I want ar! I wanna stand here why I cannot stand here!” while Dennis ushered me to the side muttering “okok don’t fight don’t fight” wtf.
Anyway, Hsin came back with scissors borrowed from another stall and snipped off my hair that was stuck to the fan T3T
And I spent the rest of the night in quiet gloom. While everyone gallivanted happily buying food and things, I followed them silently and tried to detangle my dreadlocks wtf.
Finally my hair got detangled! Albeit it being all kinky and quite gross.
Then I turned on my fan again AND GOT MY HAIR CAUGHT IN IT AGAIN.
But this time I quickly turned off the fan so only a small dreadlock was produced wtf.
This could only happen to me, can’t you see, can’t you see? – The Beatles, “I should have known better” wtf wtf.
