Pearls of Wisdom

Well what do you know?? I PASSED 112!!! And I was almost all prepared to receive a failing mark which would have fallen me into the "never going to pass 112!" mantra. Everything so far, except Algebra which I don't know about yet, I have passed. Hurray for me!! No J for me...so far!

And finally, the call that I've been waiting for...my boss at Timothy's finally called me today and asked if I was available to work opening shift in the morning. OK I know it's going to suck but waking up early won't be so hard as long as try getting to sleep earlier. Besides, I'd take any job just about now, no one will believe how unbelievably poor I am right now...flies-coming-out-of-my-wallet poor!! But I'm also going to try finding another part-time job to do on top of Timothy's. I really need to rack in some cash to pay for all the stuff next year like RENT!! ARGG...just one of the many downsides of growing up. =(

AHHHH....JAVA MARKS....ARE UP!!!!

Thanks honey for a wonderful birthday!! =)
To celebrate my 19th birthday, my honey took me out for a day at the driving range where I kicked his sorry ass (and literally too =P) and my first bar experience. First off at the Citycore driving range smack in the middle of downtown Toronto, we rented a lane for an hour and shot as many balls as we wanted. Ok...fine as far as distance is concerned, he is the heavier hitter of the two of us but for accuracy?? man...I smoked him!!!! =P After getting bored of driving the balls as far as we can, we made up our own game of seeing who can hit the 50 yard sign the most times. Of course I won! Then afterwards, we went to the Peel Pub for beer and chicken wings. Man, I feel like a man...hahahaha!! Afterwards I felt a little tipsy though but thank goodness I had a couple of hours to allow my head to stop spinning before I had to go home! Fun...but not really something I plan on doing for another longggg while.

So this is my first blog since coming home. Bibs came and left and now I'm all alone...boo... We had a good weekend taking in the downtown sights, lots of good meals (mmm....cafe crepes was yum!) and even some bowling! Lots of fun but too bad Jackie and Pat missed out. =( Crap, I miss Bibs already...now who's going to protect me from my mom?!??! With four hours of sleep to carry me through, I woke up at 5 this morning to the sound of chattering. Turns out Bibs had stayed up all night girl talking with my mom!! wow...I really admire her bravery! According to Bibs, they had a pretty good talk though...it baffles me why mother and daughter can't have the same thing. At the airport, I almost cried in front on her!! Bibs has become such a good friend to me. It saddens me that we won't be seeing each other everyday as we did in the past 8 months. After she went through the gate, I embarked on the longest bus ride home that I've ever experienced. It took TWO FRIGGIN' HOURS bussing from the airport to lawrence west, lawrence west to east, east to york mills stn then silverhills back home all the while wondering when it was ever going to end!! Finally I returned home at 9 to sleep the afternoon away =)

Last Days...

AHAHAHAHA how appropriate of jackie's comment! Speaking of those "certain people" who will only be refered to by their very special and not to mention personalized nicknames that Jackie and I have so intelligently made up, OP just had to make one last appearance to me before I leave Kingston!! Yes, I was walking back to rez because I had just missed the bus by a few seconds and there he was looking as disgusting as ever!! =P I bet he was just torn up inside missing his little Reshiki. hehehehe!! Another 4 hours and I should be out of here. I'm genuinely sad about leaving =( My room looks disgusting...

List of disgusting people who will forever remain in my mems of first year (in order of appearance):
1) OS
2) Ratty (can't believe i forgot him!! the one we talk about most!)
3) Buttheat/Red Lips
4) Gangster M
5) big/little jeff (ahhhh!!! who's who??)
6) OP
7) Pony
8) Lippy/Handheat
9) Chicken
10) Fifi
11) PeePee

AHH...i left out some people!!
12) The Mom
13) The Son

Hope I'll still remember their stories come next year! I wanna laugh again =)

oh goodness...the walls of my room are so bare right now that it makes me depressed. As much as I'm glad that school is out for the summer and I get not two but FOUR months to have fun in the sun, I'm kind of worried about finally returning home after all this time. How will things be like, will they be the same as I left them? Is it possible to get back together with my old friends and act as if we had not just been apart for 8 whole months? I sure hope so and that my mind isn't just conjuring up stupid things for me to worry about to make me afraid of change. Things with my friends I don't want to change but with my family maybe some change would be good. As hard as it will be for me, I WILL try to be nicer to my mom. In fact, I am so set on doing this that I have already prepared a run through of what my first words to my mom will be when I see her tomorrow but that I will not post up. I refuse to humiliate myself!!

Anyway...maybe being nice to my mom won't be as hard as I think especially with Bibs around this weekend. My mom is always so much nicer when people she likes are around and the few times she's met Bibs I think she liked her. What to do with Bibs?? I have no clue...we'll see very soon. *sniff sniff* miss you jackie and reshika =(

blog blog blog blog blogity blog

WOOHOO!! My last exam is over and in just three days from now I'll be home sweet home! =) It's hard to believe but my first year at Queen's is finally over. The fact that exams are over makes me happy but at the same time, friends that I've made here and come to know well are gradually all leaving for a place they call home. Totally unexpected to me, Reshika decided to leave today right after Algebra exam (nooooo....my squash buddy!!) and we didn't even get the chance to say proper goodbyes =( and pretty soon, Jackie will be next. boo hoo... At least I'll still have Bibs around to keep me company! =)

To celebrate the joyous occasion of end of exams, instead of the usual slamming at U and U, we decided to finally pick up patches for our jackets and go into town to get them sewn on. Of course the place we went to was packed with engineers with the same intentions in mind and so instead of wandering around for hours, we went for pho! YUM YUM!! I am sooo going to miss pho over the summer! Lots of interesting talks over the table including what animal each of us resembled the most. *sigh* me a hippo??!! impossible!! so now I'm a sea otter WITH WHISKERS!! =) so much better! Bibs is a very slow sea turtle, Jackie is a monkey who want to be a flamingo and Pat is a racoon-dog (strange but does exist!). So after much waiting, the jackets are done and they look sooooo cool!! Way too cool to be touched by any Arts '09ers! Slipping those newly patched up jackets was a real ego booster even though the possibility of J-section is still very probable! Please no J for meeeeeeeee!!!

It's been way too long since I updated this thing...really so much can happen in four days!! Let's have a recap shall we?

Friday:
Finally after two whole years, I've dyed my hair once again! On thursday night, I had helped Viv dye her hair and it turned out sooo nice that I decided that I wanted to dye mine too! So with the help of Viv and Jackie, it is now a lovely shade of..... hehehe too bad for you that I'm not telling but I'll tell you this, my mom is going to kill me!!! =P Except, she has recently started dying her hair too so she doesn't really have an excuse to yell at me anymore...hopefully!! After we were done, it was 1 in the morning already but not feeling even remotely tired, the three of us stayed up watching William Hung music videos (a must see!) and listening to his songs, talking about a "certain group" of people....fun fun fun!!

Saturday:
Got woken up bright and early by someone called Reshika! AHHHH...it's only 10 in the morning and I've only had 5 hours of sleep....NOOOOOOOO!!!! After another....2 hours of sleep I finally woke up, went to eat with them and then studied at the library. Actually more like napped in the library cuz I was still dead tired from having to drag myself out of bed. That night we finally got around to having our house meeting with my next year's housemates. A lot of things were decided. I didn't get my first choice of bedrooms but that's okie... =\ I got my second choice but it's right next to Karen's!!! oh no...I'm scared she's going to kill me...

Sunday:
Went to Easter Sunday service with Viv, Jackie and Hubert. As we walked in, little girls handed out little bells to us that we were supposed to jingle throughout the service, every time someone said "alleluia". Then they took them back at the end of the service...boo hoo my bell... In the afternoon, Jackie came over to study again cuz since her room mate had found out about her blog things have just been bad between them. I'm scared for her even. =( Anyway it was a nice productive afternoon of chem studying session and lots of music....Jackie's disgusting eminem, Viv's fob music and according to them my "foagie" music. boo I find their comments offensive and I demand an apology immediately! =P

YAYYYYYY!!!
one down and 4 more to go but still the worst is yet to come. Shockingly, the java final exam wasn't too bad at all (finished within a hour and walked out an hour early!!)...that or I did everything WRONG. =( I should really just learn to resist the temptation to discuss answers after an exam. Yay for Reshika, but BOOOOOO for me. All in all, I think I may have done ok for myself this time. The depressing thing is that Java is probably going to be the easiest out of all of the finals I have to write. As it stands, I still have Calc, Chem, Physics and Algebra to go. *sigh* the next two weeks aren't going to be fun at all.... help me!! =(

*****

By the way...."Yuki"'s identity has finally been revealed!! It's........none other that REKISHA herself! Exactly who we suspected all along. Shame on you rekisha... except she still denies that it was her who commented on my blog. I donno if I can trust what she says anymore.... =P

tough day just turned worse...
i will survive

Saturday, April 03, 2004

My first year of university is almost over and it was only yesterday that I went to my first house party! It was at a group of upper years' house who were some friends of a friend of Phong's. Pretty strange party involving lots of salsa dancing but it was still lots of fun! Pat and Bibs were like pros while I struggled away at trying not to step on my partner's feet at every single movement!! =P With more practice maybe I can turn pro too...hahaha i wish!!

ANYWAYS!!! This weekend is looking like it's going to suck BIG TIME just like my brand new D&G button says. I also got one that has an evil bunny on it and says "cute but kind of evil" and the classic one that says "boys are stupid...throw rocks at them!". They have got to be the second best purchase of the week, first being my flip flops of course! =) But anyway the reason this weekend sucks is because:

1) I won't be seeing my Phong for another 3 long torturous weeks and even then, I'm not going to be allowed to see him much because of my mom's unreasonable rules about everything even things un-Phong related. AHHH I'm almost 19 already and living out on my own, are those rules really still necessary?? Grr....not really looking forward to moving back home. =(
2) Leonard caf is closed for the weekend because of the food fight last night *sigh* great...where am i supposed to get my food now??!?
3) JAVA...enough said
4) I just got a reply from my RAD instructor and she said that she can't give me a copy of my simulation video. BOOOOO!!! It's policy...I understand.
