It's Fall!

Fall semester has started about 3 weeks ago. I've been occupied with classes and school work since then. For the past 3 weeks, I still got the hangover of my summer break :) Talking about summer break, it was pretty boring at first but at the very last minute, I packed my bag and took a bus to Virginia. It was supposed to be a group getaway but others had other important things to do. Well, lucky for me I got to stuff myself with superb home cooked meal (thanks to Aunty Munira), watched 'live' tv, took pictures in front of the White House, went to a huge shopping mall, celebrated Merdeka with some ais kacang, tau foo fah, sambal sotong, kuih bakar, and many more. It was a very lovely weekend :)

Two days after that, school started. I'm taking 6 classes this semester. Mondays and Wednesdays are the busiest. However, I have Thursday to Sunday free. Woohoo!

Met some new people during this time also, namely, a cousin that I've never met before in my life, a friend of a friend, a new roommate, two 1st year NYU students who happens to be Malaysians, a guy who have worked with my boyfriend before who happens to be a friend of my friend, his friend,....wuih, banyak tu!

Celebrated my birthday with lots and lots of Malaysian food! Got a 'sheep cupcake' for my birthday..cute giler!

Managed to follow the choreography for Rejang dance. And if I practice hard enough, I might be able to perform in November. Can't wait!

Today is already the 21st day of Ramadan. Puasa is nice here since it's not too hot, but because of the air is drier compare to Malaysia, I get thirsty easily. But so far it's manageable. Raya is coming in about a week. I've been downloading some Raya songs and bercita2 nak buat kuih raya. Probabyly next weekend. I'm gonna go to Chinatown or Elmhurst to find some susu pekat. Then can buat kuih cornflakes kesayanganku. Since Ramadan started, I have been to the Mission once/twice a week and I must tell you that there has been a lot of DRAMA! At this point I don't wanna think about it anymore. Perangai orang macam2, so I'm not gonna be bothered with it.

Hmm...what else to talk about aa? I guess that's it for now, the digest version of my life for the past one month. 

ooo..a dear friend has went back to Malaysia :(
