Where's is my baggage?

Is it exciting when travel overseas by plane, the first time? Yes, but not after you discover your baggage is missing at your destination. Ah....my baggage is not arriving with me in Detroit Airport and I got no clothes to wear in this cold winter...wah, this sounds exciting. My baggage went travel by itself without my consent, what a naughty bag!

Now I'm waiting for its arrival...at the moment, I have 1 long john, 1 sweater, 1 socks, 1 gloves, and luckily 2 jackets to withstand the cold weather.

Wah, then have to wear only those for the next 3 years in University of Michigan? Impossible la...so have to go shopping tomorrow...

What to do now? just hope for the best! it will be back soon :)

My advise: Don't pack anything when go overseas so you won't lost your belongings; or best, don't go overseas by plane, bus is more comfortable than plane.

Oh, my 3 in 1 coffee also gone...

The evolution of spectacles

See the photo above? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...my spectacles!

They can be categorized into 3 groups.

First are the two on the left.
From England Optical Groups.
Standard 3 to Standard 6.
Very round and big. Don't know la, that was that time's fashion.
First one is Doraemon specs...like Doraemon, big and fat and round :)
Second is a specs also...of course! Nothing special, but very big also; I forget how I look in those specs...

Second group is the middle three.
All from kong Wah Optical.
Form 1 till form 5
The 3rd and 4rd are the same design...because i broke the 3rd frame during basketball game just about 1 month purchasing it...so just changed the frame.
The 5rd one also nothing special...
All these three are quite slim :)

All the previous are made from metal frame...so some paint are easily torn...

Then the 3rd group.
Both from Focus Point.
The most expensive specs ever.
6th costs around rm500 and the current rm550. The thinnest lens are expensive...
My eye too powerful...so the lens must be powerful.
Both are plastic covered on the sides...why last time no plastic one? I also don't know.

In conclusion, everything changes.

Why I keep all my specs? I also don't know...

Wah I'm going to Michigan!

I'm leaving Malaysia to Michigan this Friday > University of Ann Arbor Michigan.

At first, UM is not my choice since it doesn't offer Biotech. But then, how I ended up there? Oh, it's a long long long story.

1. I'm eligible to apply, according to our sponsor.

2. Since the sponsor pays our application fee, so I try my luck.

3. Then I done all I suppose to do and handed my dossier to the student office.

4. I was waiting for results...err, not eagerly.

5. Wah, many of my friends admitted. My two roommates also got the offer.

6. Eh? Why I never get one?

7. I contacted UM and they tell me I didn't send my transcripts! Ahhh! The student office didn't include transcripts in my application package.

8. That time was before final exam week...

9. Then, finally the transcripts sent! Concentrated on exams.

10. Transcripts arrived Michigan 3 days later.

11. Phoned them, and told that normally all letters take 2 weeks to be processed...Then wait lo

12. Now I'm eagerly waiting for the results...hope can get into UM!

13. After 2 weeks...

14. I was told that they didn't have my SPM certificate! Wahhhhh! Student office didn't include it also...I should have make sure all the required materials are in the package before they send...now too late...

15. I was in a state that I have no sufficient vocab to describe...after so long wait...now got problem again...

16. I asked the office to fax the cert (since the cert was in the student office) to UM.

17. They received and reviewing my credentials. I was very very nervous waiting for verdict.

18. For all those admitted have to attend a compulsory 5 days camp. By that time, there are 4 out of 40 applicants haven't admitted. We (4 of us) were told to attend the camp just in case we get the offer. But I nearly missed it because I misread a email that ask me to attend...nearly missed it...

19. Luckily a friend save my future when we chatted online! That was 2 days before the camp!

20. The camp was completed!

21. As soon as the camp finished, our mobile phones were returned to us (no phone throughout the camp).

22. ASAP I checked my status using GPRS.

23. WAH! Admitted!!!!

24. It was Nov 24.

25. But then not happily ever after yet...

26. After long long wait...I was wondering why my I20 not yet processed?!

27. Contacted them and they told me they don't have my financial statement, so can't issue my I20!

28. Ha? No financial statement? It should be included in my application package also...but then it was not included. I can't put all the blame on the student office; I should have make sure it was inside before they send...
haiz...

29. Phoned the student office and the problem solved. Now waiting for I20 which is needed to apply for my student visa. Then was Dec 12...wah..really late

30. finally, I20 arrived on Dec 17.

31. Then interview scheduled on Dec 19.

32. Yeah Visa done on Dec 21.

33. Finally I'm ready to fly!!!!

Wah, actually the story is very very very long...so not all details are included. But most importantly with the help from friends and the student office I finally can go Blue! Thanks!

By the way, no Biotech, so how?

So I choose Plant Biology...after all, I love plant.

Oh o tire puncture

Ha ha. My motorcycle's front tire puncture again...again? This was not the first time lo, the 5th time in 2 years. Very lucky :)
