I had my first breakfast in Staybridge Suites, Anaheim on 18th May, which was part of the hotel package. I walked one round the buffet area, and started to miss Oklahoma all over again.1) The breakfast spread in Oklahoma was bigger and better.2) The eggs in Oklahoma were REAL scrambled eggs, not some pancake-looking pieces of eggs which tasted like flour.3) There was only …
Upon reaching back to Los Angeles, I hung around the departure area of Tom Bradley International Terminal (upper level of the terminal), where there is a foodcourt on the 2nd level to fulfil my hungry stomach, while waiting for my parents' and sister's flight to arrive. Having been to the same foodcourt when we arrived from Singapore via Hong Kong to kill time to wait for our …
Before I move into the studio cam-whoring part as promised in the previous post, please let me rant about my missing soap dish and reveal the background of an act cute, silly-ish, sexy-ish photo before revealing the photo.When I went back to the hotel after class on Thursday, my white soap dish bought at Muji was discovered missing. I would usually place it on a piece of face …
On Tuesday morning, we went to a publishing house and TV news station as part of our TV Studio Production module that we were taking for the final week of the on-campus residency. We were not allowed to take our cameras into the publishing house and thus we only took a few shots of the exterior of the building. But at the TV station, it was cam-whoring all over and over...We …
Erm, it was way overdue, but at least we got it done! On the first night of week 3, the MDIS Student Council (or rather the majority of the SC members who were in Oklahoma) celebrates the birthday of one of its lovely Exco Member, Anais! When we reached back to the hotel after class, we worked hard to make dinner possible and in time to fulfil hungry stomachs.And of course, …
Let's all take a moment of respect and silence for yet another brave woman who did not give up her fight against cancer. She is Molly, founder of WeAreWonderWomen.com, the very lady who took the initiative to rally all women cancer survivors together. The lady who dished out advice on her blog to cancer survivors, patients and their care-takers.I was blog-hopping and got to …

Not anyone can have the privilege to receive such a letter. Only a selected few out of an entire intake of students will get it. The letter contains an EXCLUSIVE invitation to a society whose members includes US President Jummy Carter and author John Grisham. (Psst, enough clues already?)Well, a clue is found in this picture...Can't get it still? An even more obvious clue...I …
I can't help feeling that all our lecturers here are darlings, especially the older ones who want to make us feel at home and treat us as though as we are their own children. Last Sunday, Dr Winn hosted us at his place. And on Wednesday week 2, Dr Olsen, our Behavioral Science lecturer treated us to Strawberry Shortcakes during our lunch break!And thus, we decided to host Dr …
After an eventful weekend, week 2 of classes then started. This week we had a module called Personal Lifestyle. It is more of a wellness, P.E kinda module and yes, we did whatever that needs to be done to complete an IPPT.Our lecturer was Dr Slatham. She has a young cute daughter with loveable-pinchable cheeks (she showed us her photo once). She is also very cool, spunky and …
On Sunday night, our dear Values and Culture lecturer Dr Harbor Winn hosted dinner for us at his house. He came over to fetch us to his place from our hotel and because there were too many of us, he had to make 2 trips.At the end of the dinner, both he and his wife drove us back. He also took a chance to make a detour round some places around school to show us where we can …

It was a damn long day and I felt I almost died over and over again on Day 4 of my first module of my on-campus residency here in Oklahoma. I can't find much words to describe what happened, so this post will be filled with photos as a picture paints a thousand words.Dr K brought us to the Wichita Mountains. We set off really early in the morning. The bus picked us up at the …
Dr. K brought us to 2 places on Day 2 of classes that tourists may not even choose to go. Initially I was thinking why I had to go to these places as they are of no interest to me. We went because it was part of our curriculum. So, I ventured into an oil well and a lake.The day started with a lady from OERB (Oklahoma Energy Resource Board) telling us briefly what OERB is all …
Lessons will be planned as such that each module will take up 4 and a half days, which means we get a half day on Friday. This is also reflect on the 9 3.5 hours sessions that we do in Singapore.This week, we did Environmental Science. As how the lessons have gone and completed, this module seems like a much cheem-er version of Geography.We got to meet our lecturer, Dr. …

This season of American Idol is full of shockers.1) Horrible singers such as Kristy Lee Cook can stay sooo long.2) Favorites like Michael Johns and Ramiele got eliminated too early.3) Tipped to be in the finale, Carly Smithson says goodbye this week.It's too early for her exit, 4 weeks to be exact! She had never been in the bottom 3! How could this happened? Randy Jackson was …
