Yup so Columbia.. rejected me twice in a row.. OUCH ouch OUcH.. but oh well...
I'm in Indonesia now people!!! I had checked my email yesterday when I saw the change of status in my Columbia application and the internet here is SOOOO SLOWWWW... that it takes me 10 minutes !! just to go to the login page and the check status page...
SIGH!
So anyway this is like 4.30am in the morning.. and I was up since 3.30am.. Jet Lagged. so what's my opinion of Jakarta after not being here for 2.5 years... SO DIRTY! oh mi god.. okay maybe because the flood has just receded recently but wo.. you see trash all over the place.. in front of the small houses.. on the alley..
another shocker : as my plane was landing, it showed me the current outside temperature... from 9 degree C in LA, 14 degree in Hongkong to 35 degree in Jakarta.. I was like.. WHAT THE HELL?
Okay so maybe it's more like a 32 degree celcius which is like about 100 something F.. but you see when I stepped out of the airport.. the 100 degreeF in LA feels hotter than the 100 something F here in Jakarta.. maybe because in Indonesia it's humid instead of really burning hot..
So anyway while I'm awake.. I was studying CFA, eating Rotiboy (some bread from Malaysia .. very buttery.. ) and updating my blog
Now let's talk about my experience w my mom... Before I went home, I knew that she would complained about my looks ( I don't know why she does this non stop my whole life : you're too skinny, you're too fat, your hair is messy, your clothes! ) okay so I did whatever I could before I head home.. facialist, eye brow shaping, hair cut.. and not to mention I had dropped 18 pounds through out last year.. but anyway.. met her yesterday and :
you're too skinny
you look unhealthy
if you want to stay skinny can you please go to the gymn and gain some muscle
maybe you should gain 4 more pounds
your clothes!!! ( speechless.. too much complaining )
your hair
YOUR FACE!! ALL THOSE SCARS and pimples.. and wanted to drag me to her dermatologist ASAP
Alright it's not as bad as it sounds.. just because I had gotten used to this 24 years of my life and all those words went from one ear straight to the other :) Asian mom just can never be satisfied.. or even if they are .. they still find ways to complain.. Is it just mine?

Sorry on the ding. I always say that a school will crumble into itty bitty pieces if it doesn't accept me....takes the edge off about as well as a whiskey sour. :)
I should be up on that coder doder thingyding soon enough. Cheers, m@
I am sorry to hear that, girl~ but you still have other schools to go!!
Just curious, you heard anything from Haas yet?
No. It's not just your mom. :( I get the same too.
Sorry about Columbia though.
There's rotiboy in Indonesia? My god. They're going to take over the world.
Happy Chinese New Year - if you're into that, or else just enjoy the food and holidays :)
sorry about ding.
and a.. nice bag..
Sorry to hear about the ding ... but I suppose the nice thing about having two admits in the bag is that anything that comes afterward is just icing on the cake. =)
sorry about the ding, but Columbia should be too cold for u to go anyway;)
And no, it's definitely not just your mom... you can at least count my mom in... -.-||
