Queen Emo
Okay I know I’ve talked about this a million times now but I’m seriously very proud of this fact ok. Today, in -1 celcius, I walked out with only a tshirt, a pair of jeans and a jacket. I’m wearing what I will normally wear to the cinema/mall in Malaysia except that this is almost 20 degrees colder! Am I brave or am I super brave? wtf. So if I come back to Malaysia and keep complaining about the hot weather then it’s not my fault ok! You’ll probably see me in shorts and tank top everyday, even in cinemas and malls.
My bravery aside, I shall talk about my issue with money, again. Ya lah I’m sorry if this is the most important thing in my life ok. I mean, money is not THAT important until I will choose it over love etc but it’s important enough for me to choose it over my own happiness. One, I really hate it when people tell me how I should spend more cause there isn’t any point in saving all my money forever but what they don’t get is I’m not saving it till I die, I just don’t think I should spend it on stuff that isn’t that necessary lah.
The fact that I have money doesn’t mean I’m rich or I should just spend it what. Two, what I ABSOLUTELY hate is how people say I’m studying in the states = I am rich. I am so not ok! If I am then why would I struggle so much to get a scholarship? If I am do you think I’ll be as stingy as I am now? As if I like being stingy omg I obviously wish I can buy anything I want or travel to anywhere I want where got people like to be stingy one! As if I like hunting like crazy for clothes less than $10! If I can I wish I can just go into a shop and buy something without having to head straight to the sales section ok.
I really want to start paying my own tuition fees starting from next year and not ask from my parents instead ok. This is my own education, I don’t see why they should pay for it. I wish I can tell everyone to just please understand, I don’t like and I don’t want to be stingy, but I’m just thinking way ahead than I should. What if I don’t find a job after I graduate? Who’s gonna pay for my expenses while I hunt around for jobs? What if my first job only gives me enough money to eat? Where do I get the money to buy car/rent house/get married?
My two siblings can’t even go overseas cause my parents are already paying for mine, so I really really want to support them later ok. My dad has to work in a freaking far place and leave my family behind and only come back once in 4 months. All that just to pay for my college so how can I simply waste that money to spend on myself?! I’m damn emo now lah T____________T Please dont say I’m rich cause my dad is working in Dubai and cause I can afford to come to the states, I’m really not. I worked really hard to get this scholarship and I’m only paying what you pay in Malaysia too please please please don’t ever say I’m rich.
Shit lah fucking emo fucking emo fucking emo furcdkif fekeomowdmqfoqwor3.

Do you realize that when I’m not emo I use a lot of wtfs, when I’m emo one wtf also don’t have but got a lot of OKs. I sound like I’m trying to convince everyone about my emo-ness so keep saying ok? ok? ok? wtf
Ok lah I’m not emo anymore, came to my senses already wtf. Actually sometimes my stingy-ness also melampau already one. I have so many examples!
1. I will always squeeze my sentences in one line and if I have one extra word to write I’ll NEVER ever write into the next line lor! One line must be filled with at least 6 words wtf. Also, I will never skip one line, EVER. Unless if I really have to like to separate notes taken on different days.
pictorial evidence:
See, die die must write all in one line even if I have to put ^ and write above it wtf.
2. To save my highlighter, I will only highlight absolutely important stuff and will highlight the bottom of the words only.
3. For ‘special’ pens, that are pens above 80 sen ones like those cool 0.4mm Pilot G2 (RM3.80 or so) or whatever, I will only use them to write very important stuff like my name wtf. My most expensive pen which is like RM5 or what lah, the super fine ink type, is still with me after 5 years. And I only used 1/4 of it in the last 5 years! That’s the amount of ink used to write my name in exams/books for 5 years wtf.
I know I’m a freak wtf
No related posts.
Gambateh
Is this post especially for Me Aud and SHanshan T______T I’m sorry Babie I wish I knew all these n wouldn’t pressure u to spend more money. But u know I just wanted u to hav fun n be happy TT
eh i also highlight using the tip of the highlighter! but not cos i’m kiamsiap (cos i steal highlighters from the office anyway) but cos it’s my notes mah, not art class, so no need to color the whole line with the fat highlighter.
I ABSOLUTELY hate is how people say I’m studying in the states = I am rich.
Agreed.
im absolutely like you… maybe worse cos im in the UK, more hateful comments about how an undeserving person like me can go there.
i’m so stingy that I have to copy down all my lecture slides off by hand (and not leave a line, like you- use pen to draw line-divider only when necessary.. tak untung la, my own eyes die slowly, but ‘wtf’) instead of spending money to print them off..
and then I also collect ppl’s ‘scrap’ paper and use the other empty side for my notes, you know ppl who printed wrong stuffs and just dump the whole pile near the printer..
oh gosh i sound like a sad beggar now, i shall stop.
but, see, i’ve sacrificed my dignity online to tell you that you’re not alone =p so cheer up!
god suet your conscience damn keng T_______T raised in a good family wtf. not like me no money already still tak sedar wtf and whole life spending without thinking T_T
No fret. I use the same bag, pencil case, etc during my school days. Even worse, I still use my 8-year old clothes because it’s still in good condition. I don’t feel like throwing it away, which means I don’t get to buy new stuff also, coz then I would have too many. Damn twisted.
i totally see where you’re coming from because i’ve received similar comments.
well if you ever visit Texas, hit me up. Will be glad to show you around. (i’m female so don’t worry bout me being a perv! haha.)
Suet I love you even more after this post *big shiny eyes
you can call the bank to get the overdraft money back. just explain that you didnt know and see what they have to say. worse case is that they wont give it back, but sometimes they will… call the 800 number and you never know!! $40 back in the bank account.
i have late fees given back to me at times because i was away for work in mexico and europe for weeks..
i totally understand where you are coming from. my parents paid for my first degree but my graduate degree is on my own… it costs an arm and a leg per course.
wah nice to see ppl younger than me who are conscious about spending their parents money…usually ppl ur age don’t give two hoots u know what i mean! (macam lah i tua sangat bleh) anyway let them talk lah…as long as they don’t expect u to treat them because you’re supposedly ‘rich’. give them the finger!!!
if your parents read your post, they will be very happy and “on wai” bcoz they know that it’s worth for them to do all for you. hmm, dun bother about what others said, and they will never ever understand ur condition.
sometimes use “small” money, also can buy ” big” happy one. and all your clothes u bought there is very very nice somemore, although it’s bargain price, but is still can make ur happy and pretty! =)
wah i reli salute u suet! one, wearing that in that kinda weather is hebat man. i’m freezing my butt off here in perth. and its summer. don’t ask
two, thinking abt ur siblings and how ur going to pay for their education is an admirable thing. not very many young ppl these days want or think abt doing that.
three, i finally found someone who is stingy like me! in a good way of course
why waste money and paper when u can do it another way, makes perfect sense. my friends think i’m crazy for collecting so much scrap paper and using it and then recycling it away.
Wah!
A truly frugal and money conscious girl!!!
Baz is just so damn lucky to have you!!!
It’s not everyday that you come across people who actually put so much thought into their financial situation…
You should be proud rather than emo-ing wtf…
And do tell me when you DO wear tank tops and shorts into the shopping mall…
Hahahahahaha…
To Baz: YOU LUCKY BASTARD YOU!!!
wah..good~ perfect wife candidate…althought a bit aunty-ish lol.
yea..its kinda sad when ppl dun seem 2 understand your situation, and ppl keep on thinking dt you are rich bt in actual you are struggling like mad.
>.< so d best is work harder and get lotsa money and really get rich so dt ppl envys you haha
aih normal la. people always perceived me as rich although i studied locally. just because i wear something nicer than the rest they think i’m dam well-off like wtf.
i get most of my clothes dam cheap as well! another cheap bitch but i’m complaining since i get to get nice stuff with reasonable price.
fret not babe! you have me back you up
wah, i can only say, “high-five”! cos i did the same. like if i ever buy cereals, u know they’re goddamn ex, i will compare the weight and price and get the heavier cheaper one. and i still got my colour pens after 10 years lor, dont worry cos im worse ((((((:
i know how you feel man.. i’m starting to shit worry now, how am i going to continue my degree after my diploma. sigh…
hey suet, i guess our parents must be damn proud of us! shit those ppl who thinks i’m rich coz i’m studying in uk now. fck lah. i’m only here with money worth of a Kancil car and have to pay my own tuition fees for 3 years myself. Not that my parents are stingy and not paying, but like u, i have younger siblings who need education as well.
i don’t get ppl go splurging on uncessities in high street shops in msia while they dont earn anything, yet using their poor parent’s money. stupid children.
the only time i visit topshop is when they have sale $ BOGOF on sale items. =D
so, gambatei! let’s make this horrijible children who spends like there’s no tomorrow regret and feel bad for themselves.
Sayaaaang Suet
I only splurge on food… and more food wtf
Imma try to be more like you /boo
Eh eh, for me, when go back to Nalaysia time, go through spring and early summer d what, so get conditioned to Malaysian weather already and will still freeze in a cinema wtf.
OMFG People, especially the JPA and MARAs here, will say since I study in Russia as a private, I must be super megalorich. As if I’d choose Russia if I’m that rich. But then again my soul dies a little bit when these people, who think that I’m rich, try to guess my parents’ respective professions.
About paying for myself, I don’t have to worry about that. My dad already started recording how much I owe him for studying. He said what for give children education, let them pay for themselves la. Better we use the money to enjoy our golden years, he said to my mum. So, I have that to look forward to.
Oh, and I save on my lines too! Wtf I sound so excited. But not to save money though, I get easily distracted and sometimes, if I flip a page, I totally forget what I wrote before wtf. And I don’t like having more than one notebook for a subject, make it hard to look for during exam. Your pics reminded me of my friends chiding me for writing so small on a 20 sen notebook for Latin. Seriously, it’s smaller than this font. wtf.
Oh one last thing to add to this mini blog entry wtf. I blame you, Chong Suet Li! [I know it's not Chong, I can't remember your surname wtf] When chatting with a friend of mine, every time she finishes a line, she’d add [Johan: wtf] which is supposed to be predicting me saying wtf.

My dad worked in Dubai as well for years and could only come back 3 times a year.It’s so sad everytime he leaves at the airport cuz I’ll be thinking he works so hard in some faraway pork-less place with no home-cooked food and super hot desert place. So charm….
Some more he wont go to the movies with his friends cuz the movie ticket cost 30ringgit and he wants to save for the family 
(((((
wtf johan why Chong? do you subconsciously have a crush on Adeline Chong wtf
and why dowan to talk to me babi!
Hi. I have been your silent reader for quite sometimes. I hope you are enjoying the States while you are a student there. I say, you must be real smart to get a scholarship. To obtain a scholarship really does help to lessen your parents’ burden.
I absolutely hate it when people have this mentality that just because one gets to study overseas mean that one’s family is rich.
I get the same comments from friends and people i meet (I study aboard in New ZEaland). REally annoying indeed. When i tried to explain to them, the ony words that come out are ‘you are just pretending’ -_-|||
all the best in your studies *wink*
Watcha doing here replying all the comments? Where’s shanshan? I tot she’s gonna stop u fr wandering off track? Hehe…
Intended to just tell u how much the gal,yvonne, who went audition for dreamgirl malaysia in Timothy’s blog looks like u…
My mom always told me that we should gain our own education not buy our education… So I ended up studying local uni when my frens r all overseas now… T___T Summore frens been asking me why study local uni when I’m so rich…
Keep up ur good job… I’m slowly following ur footsteps reducing the allowance I’m getting fr my parents…
OMG, Chong is such a common and stereotypical surname, wtf.
Remember? Saya ada seorang kawan, namanya Ah Chong, dia juga berkawan, namanya Mutu. Kami berkawan baik tiga sekawan, belajar bersama main bersama. Hey hey hey tiga sekawan. wtf, now I’m pulling a Samy Vellu.
Plus, we have one really stereotypical Chinese here, whose surname is Chong. You know the kind: money-saving, thick glasses, chinaman looking face, smart [nerdy, wtf] – Hell during our toughest exam, the teacher actually stood up to announce that his answer was perfect. wtf. Anyway, your penny-picking ways remind me of him, that’s why i dubbed thee Chong Suet Li. Oh to make matters worse, he converted to Christianity like three years ago and is a stereotypical newly-coverted Chinese Christian.
And wtf of an assignment is that? It’s so damn easy. Just google Serene Suet Li, the first hit is “Dear Serene Liew Suet Li.” Coincidentally, you type Barry Ooi Eu Hock, you get “Bye Bye, Barry Ooi Eu Hock!” Match made in a match factory wtf. lame joke wtf.
And wtf, I keyed in my full name here’s what I got: Sistem Pengurusan Lesen Bersepadu wtf. DBKL elesen wtfness.
Oh GB, I just chatted with Adeline and I wtfed a few times. She asked me why you like barry always wtf. Of course, being the gentleman that I am, I put all the blame on Suet, wtf.
Do you know how much I miss your blog?
Having a 700 MB limit doesn’t help. =(
