Campus Cutie – Chun Tee Ong

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Durham chapter.

 

NAME: Chun Tee Ong

AGE: 21

COLLEGE: St Chad’s

DEGREE: Computer Science i.e. Jibberish

HOMETOWN: Penang/Malaysia

Favourite Pick up Line: “You are just some kind of awesome”

EVER HAD AN IMAGINARY FRIEND

“Nah not really, but my Pokemon cards speak back to me in times of need. They always know what to say…though this one time (at band camp) my Bulbasaur (shiny edition – obvs) told me to Vine Whip all the mean kids who made fun of my rice bowl haircut… I don’t have my Bulbasaur card anymore…”

THINGS YOU LOOK FOR IN A GIRL

“I’m at an impasse on this issue. On the one hand, I’d like a girl who was at least a little bit taller than me (5′ 4″), so that my future kids have at least a little bit of a chance at a normal life at high school. On the other, I don’t want to look like a charity case. It’s a tough one, but the one thing I really look for in a girl is the ability to cook a good Asian meal – just the way mum used to make it (classic Oedipus complex…).”

IF YOU HAD ONE WISH WHAT WOULD IT BE

“Nothing – my life is awesome.”

IF YOU WERE STUCK ON A DESERT ISLAND WHO WOULD YOU MOST AND LEAST LIKE TO GO WITH

Most: “Liam Neeson – he’d save me and introduce me to his on-screen daughter (from Taken 1 and 2) who definitely has a strew of daddy issues.”

Least: “My long lost evil twin brother – we’d totally battle to the death” #therecanonlybeone

HOW DO YOU FEEL TO BE ASKED TO BE OUR HER CAMPUS CUTIE?

“Honoured and patronised…it’s a cocktail of emotion I’ve never expected to feel, but where else to feel it than on the number one online college community.”

BEST AND WORST NIGHTS OUT
“There’s no way to go about this without sounding like a bit of a douchebag, so I’m just gonna go ahead and say that the ‘Best Night Out’ involved an undisclosed amount of alcohol, as did the ‘Worst Night Out’.”

TOP TIP FOR DURHAM LADS

1) “Never punch someone with a closed fist – open palm to the chin works a treat, and you don’t break any fingers.”

2) “Learning an instrument is the fastest way to strike a chord with the chicas (except for the Piccolo…never the piccolo).  I myself play 5 different instruments – come at me Asian stereotypes.”

 

Clare is a 2nd Year at St. Chad's College, Durham University, reading Theology. Home is split between a pad in London and house in Somerset where she went to school. She is actively involved in College sport especially rugby and rowing, and is on the Exec of the DUWIB (Durham University Women in Business) Society to promote women going into internships, grad schemes and finding paths into business for life after Uni. She is keen on marketing and business development and hopefully starting her own company in the years to come. She loves to travel and is lucky to have the opportunity to go across the world in her work with her family business. Favourites are drinks with the girls, running (Paris Marathon in April 2014), time with the family, weekends in London and dog walks in the country, and of course bar crawls in fancy dress around Durham.
Hey! I am a second year student at Durham University studying Sociology and Anthropology. I love writing and spending time with people and so cannot wait to start a HerCampus Chapter at Durham.
