I Don't Do Crowds

Oh my God I am so fucking tired from moving all my shit from the old apartment I was staying in to the new one. I guess that is a sign that I should stop shopping because I had bags and bags and suitcases after suitcases of shit and school stuff like foam core boards and cartons and 50 inch rulers (not a hyperbole - really). And screw San Francisco's streets. It was like climbing Mount Everest to take those stuff with me two blocks up. 

Anyway the new place (ahem allow me to call it Bob - my new house is called Bob) is nice!!! It is bigger than the old one and my flatmate and I have more privacy now. And after carrying all those stuff up the hill, we were so hungry. So I went to the minimart and purchased some good ol' kimchi ramen. When I reached upstairs, I realised I only have a frying pan and no pan to boil water in. So in the end we decided to "make do" and boiled water in the teflon frying pan. And after that I realised.......... We didn't have any utensils. So I went downstairs again to buy disposable chopsticks. And then I went up, nearly dead. And when I went up my flatmate said.. "Errrr we don't have any plates or bowls". So I said SCREW THIS SHIT LET'S ORDER PIZZA HUT. So we logged onto PH's site.. Ordered our pizza and decided on a large one so we can reheat it when we get hungry sometime. And when it arrived, we ate like 2 slices each and put it in the fridge. This evening we were like "eh hungry already let's eat some pizza" and it dawned on us that........... WE DON'T OWN A MICROWAVE. We nearly died. So in the end we starved. 

The good, though, was that I went to buy some hangers just now. To hang my clothes duh. And I thought I went overboard buying a whole box of them but actually I need another 6 dozen wtf how come I never had to use so many in Singapore? Plus I don't have a car so I have to trek uphill like 7 or 8 blocks to buy hangers la UGH. At least most of my stuff are already in place yayz. Oh and I can download so many things here...!!!

My Conceptual Design teacher is so hot can die I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR WEDNESDAYS PLS PLS PLS GOD LET WEDNESDAY COME QUICK.

I am turning into one of those people who blog about things no one really gives a fuck about, aren't I?

baby i'm bad news

Hello pals it's been too long since I posted anything and I blame it on my youth. Or lack of. Therefore nothing to blog about. But today as I lay in bed, trying to catch some rest after a long heavy day, I decided to post an entry here. Hmmm where do we begin?

I am sure everyone's sick of me complaining about the type of people my school seems to be producing. Or should I say, attracting. I will just continue with some good news.

1) I am moving into my apartment today.

2) I am not lagging behind in my school work (small victories)

3) I am in love with my gay teacher :( who is so toot but is artsy and wears paul smith.

4) I went to bloomingdale's yesterday and there was a shoe sale so....

On the other hand though,

1) My roommate is sick.

2) The bank account is running low. Bills bills bills.

3) I was supposed to get my job (YES GOD OF RETAIL YOU HEARD ME) but there were some immigration and legal problems so I cannot work until next year.

BUT ok la exciting I am happy here although I miss my friends. ONG QIQI JIAWEN SITI ADEL CALISTA VALERIE YOU ALL HAVEN'T EMAILED/REPLIED ME YET. For the A level person it's ok lah. But the rest of you must reply mee cause I'm needy and of course I have things to tell you guys.

AHHH I am so excited to be moving into my own apartment I need to pack. Will post pictures ok promise from last month to my apartment pictures. If anyone cares. Oh and I think I am going to change my blog address. Just because.

Down with flu

I'm in bed dying with flu at 4 am in the morning. I feel like I'm going to die any moment ugh. And I can't view my tagboard for some reason.

So how is everyone? I quite like school with all its bright newness and challenges although I am proving to myself more than anything that I suck at what I'm doing.

If anyone, anyone at all reads this, take some time to email me at stella.khoeswoyo@gmail.com just because I will be so happy to receive an email from you.

Plus I am a lonely loser so..

A Difficult Spot

I always *knew* somewhat that school is going to be different now. I've heard from Q how the workload is like blah blah blah. But man, being in this new school, I don't know what I got myself into. First day of the first class and you are making model homes out of cardboards blah blah. Next day a rigorous seminar on How to Succeed in College (3 hour talks on Goals, Time Management, and Motivation - someone just kill me). But then again, where else in the world is a school so hyped up about the NY fashion week? Like every class you walk into the teacher goes, "yeah I heard one student tried to book Freja Beha for her show in NY next week!". So it's all good I guess.

What is not good, is me, having weird dreams, about weird people.

I'm so self-centered sometimes.

You know I have too much time..

When I update this blog daily. Right? Anyway I forgot it was my birthday until the text messages came in yesterday.. And some of you were too early.. Some too late, depending on which side of the pond you're on. Oh well, thanks a lot everyone! I will try to be optimistic although it seems like life as I know it is pretty much over. Still no friends, still feverish (no, not in a good way). HAHA

Uh I think I really don't have too many things to say over here, except that I am sick of buying things and that groceries are so expensive here. Case in point: a banana generally costs 79cents apiece! That's like more than 1 Singapore dollar per banana! I am auntie I know.

I remember last year everyone came to my party and I was happy.

I can't believe I brought my heart to leave in San Francisco!

So nice to know I haven't been forgotten by friends and strangers alike. One week plus into the San Francisco city and pace, I am tremendously missing home. But maybe it's just loneliness speaking. I haven't spoken to a human being for more than a fleeting 3 minutes the past 3 days (nice number) since my sister abandoned me for glitzier SoCal. HAHA I just had to type that. And at times like these I wish I had size6 to be annoyed with.

Well we did all the touristy things already. Visit the Fisherman's Wharf? Check. Sip hot chocolate in Ghirardeli Square? Check (highly overrated by the way). Cross the Golden Gate? Check. Eat pastries in Union Square? CHECK. GODDAMNIT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO IN THIS PLACE. Well, like buying your own computer.. Which I keep procrastinating to do because.. I don't have a local credit card yet and I don't want to pay them in cash because they will be more than slightly suspicious as to where I acquired so much cash. Ah.. Back to the old me, constant jabbering noone really cares about. I am using my landlord's laptop right now.. It doesn't have Messenger. Sorry folks.

And one more thing, I hate the fucking time difference I can't talk to anyone at normal hours! My mom wakes me up at 8 EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DAY because it will be her 11pm. GOD. Other than that (which is pretty much everything) though, I like this place. A place where you see 12 year olds buying the whole Juicy Couture Fall07 collection (ew) and Victoria Secret's sister company Pink - releasing Paris-Hilton-tracksuit folly to the masses, especially in the aforementioned hue. On the other end of the spectrum (and boy is the spectrum broad), we see so many ecologically-friendly girls and boys protesting about everyone's carbon footprint. And then there are the sweet demure girls who work at Anthropologie wearing everything knitted and a silk Anna Sui dress and a pair of cute leather boots. And yet another side of town called the Haight-Asbury neighbourhood revels in its hippie past. Yes, Janis Joplin walked down that lane. Yes, Amoeba records is a great (indie) music store and label that discovers and promotes fresh new talent. Well, well. With so many to agree and disagree on, I think everyone will love at least a portion of this place.

Yesterday was my first day at school. International students orientation #1. All I see are girls dressed up to the nines.. These Taiwanese Barbie dolls (seemingly) trying to outdo each other. One with a Birkin. Oh now I see one with a Burberry trench! (It's not even THAT cold). OOh-oh, now we gotta up our game cause I see one tiny little yellow chick over there with a pair of thigh-high Chanel boots. And they all do Fashion Merchandising. I feel like strangling myself.

Anyhow, many many pictures I took while doing the touristy thing. I will update them when I get my own laptop.

Well poor poor me, I shop at H&M, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, and Uncle Marc (sales ongoing the whole entire freakin' year HOLY JEEBUS).

That's only because I haven't found my tobacco king (yet). Wish me luck!!
