The week before I left KL for Chicago, Naeust, Fresh and Anne (hereinafter referred to as Gfrans) surprised me with glamping! They told me to pack my stuff and kidnapped me for a weekend. I say surprised because I really was surprised! Anne: OMG YOU TOTALLY KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING! Me: No, I really don't. Anne: OMG it's so obvious! Me: Where are we going? Anne: OMG YOU TOTALLY KNOWWW! So yeh, Anne was keeping her cool. GLAMPING = GLAM + CAMPING So we weren't really roughing it out. Heck, the tents had air cond with an en suite bathroom. It's glamping guys, it's Glamping. This was the entrance of the camping grounds.  We had our own tents on the other side of the river, but this was where we had breakfast. There's also a karaoke room on this end! We'd also brought some wine, but because we were camping (LOL!) we didn't have a fridge! So we decided hey, let's put it in the swimming pool to chill. Yea, everything's wrong with the above sentences.

Your English is really good. c. So do you speak Malaysian at home? This brings us to number 2, #2 Speaking American "I like the way you speak, like the way you say things, you say "outtt" with emphasis on the T" "It's because you guys don

So I know I usually give you guyses a glimpse of my ice kacang weather days, but lemme just give you an update about my life in Chicago so far. 1. What the hell am I doing here? I landed in O'hare after a 20-something hour flight and a transit in Hong Kong and Singapore and was greeted with snow and black ice. So there I was... wait, forgot to mention I also fell sick on the plane - I also fell sick on the plane. So there I was,  jet-lagged, sick, covered in snow, miserable. Wondering why I left my comfort of home to come to this place covered in snow, freezing, kinda dirty, had really bad weather, where I didn't know anyone. (Okay, I knew Cheryl - 1 person. Who lives 40 minutes away from me) "I could've gone to California,  BUT NOOOOOO I HAD TO COME HERE LIKE A STUPID!"  the little trixha in my head yelled at me, while pointing at the city covered in snow. 2. Grandmas Before I left I went to see my ama (grandma on dad's side); "If it gets too difficult,

I was walking home when I felt snow in my eyes, you know the usual. But then it wasn't. It was falling ALL over the place. Like ice from an ice kacang aunty's ice kacang machine.  "OWWW! What is thattt!" An ice kacang machine with an old blade that produced coarse unsatisfying ice kacang  the kind you had to crunch on. Y'knowwhatimsayin? "Ahhh. It's hurting my face!" "Oh, it's hailing"  said super nonchalantly. My first hail in Chicago, guys. It really did hurt. x
