Sleigh Ride

Whenever I listen to the radio these days, it's full of christmas tunes, ranging from traditional orchestral and choir setting, to the contemporary N'Sync and Brtiney Spears. They keep on reminding you how Christmas is the time of year for celebration and loving one another. It's definitely the opposite for me for the last 5 years. Celebration? Nah. I remembered that these years I was just siting in front of the desk and doing nothing on Christmas Day. How cheerful can that be?

Christmas just reminds me of the days when I had parties with my cousins and relatives. Here, I just spend this so called wonderful time of year with my family. No parties for me at all. I guess people that I know don't like having parties.

Seasons like these reinforce the idea that human relationships are so fragile. For one minute, two people can be so close with each other. The next minute, they become complete strangers. The only stable relationship in my life right now is probably my mom. Thanks, mom!

I am glad that I can temporarily leave this place and spend the 2002 Christmas in Hong Kong. Enjoy the sleigh ride!

Walking on the cloud

The 3 hour management exam was dreadful. When I was writing the exam, the blue pen actually ran out of ink, that's how horrible it was. Worst of all, I had to refrain from going to the washroom because a 3-minute washroom trip can cost me one essay.

And by the way, this was what I covered during the last 30 minutes of the exam: 2 case anaylsis each worth 25 marks and 2 current events each worth 15 marks.....poor time management....

After the exam, I can't even walk in straight lines and my throat and head are hurting me...please, I don't wanna get sick, not again.

Illusion

I was waiting for the bus at school when I saw the moon disappearing on me. And I soon realize that it's just the cloud blocking it, how scary. I must be going crazy at that moment. In about 39 hours, I will return back to normal again, and I hope that crazy thoughts won't be surrounding me anymore.

Continuation

7:34 am.....First thing I heard on my way to school is Glenn Gould's version of J.S.Bach's Italian Concerto, Presto Movement. Ah, which reminds me, it's already the three months anniversary of my "success". Nice. I haven't touched the black and white keys for exactly three months now, I don't know when I will pick it up again. Once again, proves that I am pretty much pathetic.

Calculus keeps on haunting me. I thought that I will not see any more limits again yet here it comes. Reminds me of Mr.Pienkowski and the unforgettable calculus class. Must not dwell on the past....

It's not even Friday the 13th

I honestly don't know what has gotten to me these days. I keep having these weird and impossible thoughts in my head about certain things. Worst of all, they keep haunting me by making their "guest appearance" in my dreams. The moment I wake up I feel awkward.

Let me be honest to myself, which I always have been. I am pretty much pathetic and there's no cure for it. I find that my over flooding of emotions are detrimental to my health and I have been trying many years to tough up and be strong and it only improves by like 0.001%. 0.001% is better than nothing though.

I agree that it must be a gift from God. Maybe it's what he wants me to possess so from now on I will not force myself. Well, I guess what I would do instead is to simply suppress these thoughts. From this moment on, stop having these false hopes and stop that particular dream. Hopefully it'll work....

I'll always remember the priest from San Antonio, Texas. He said that if it belongs to you, it'll be yours and it will arrive someday. Happy 20th birthday to me.....

Not my day

It's only 9 am so I guess I am stuck in the computer lab for one more hour! The reason being my Math prof cancels the class for today. I woke up at 6 am for nothing....URGH..........University professors are so irresponsible. Why do they always have to cancel class the very last minute?

HollowMan coming to a theatre near me

Must not panic about the cavity. Look what happened when I panicked, it got me into a really nasty argument. First I lost my voice, then all the tears came with all those unhappy emotions. I wanted to talk to someone, but I don't want to disturb others so I guess I will let myself cry a couple more years. Sounds good to me...

Weekend God

Monday -- 5 days away from the weekend. Tuesday -- 4 days away from the weekend. Wednesday -- 3 days away from the weekend. Thursday -- 2 days away from the weekend. Friday -- ONE day away from the weekend.

This is my daily life, thinking about the weekend break. Since when did "the weekend" becomes my saviour?

Real taste of university

I did horrible for the "Business history and ethics" diagnostic test today. It was the first time in my life that my brain felt completely blank. There was no way I can throw in a bunch of garbage because my prof is the author of the textbook. How on Earth can I possibly b.s.? PLUS, I do not have the bs-ing skills. Ah well, it is over now.

2002-09-13T22:42:00.000-04:00

Little bit of good news

University is intimidating........I am totally freaking out. However, I am glad I finally dropped out of Spanish 2000 and go for 1000. Easy like breeze. Buenos tardes, Sr. Martinez.....blah blah blah...uno, dos, tres....blah blah blah....easy as abc. AND thanks for a classmate who is willing to buy my copies of Spanish textbooks for 90 bucks....yay!!!

Oh, and surprisingly, the TPL recovered the copy of those crappy country songs.......meaning I don't have to pay anything......I was gonna bitch to the nice librarian who was telling me it was found, however I didn't wanna give her a hard time because she was one of the decent ones there.......

These little details certainly lightens me up.

Dumb, dumb, dumb

Thinking is essential, but do not overdo it. It will make you grief.

A Day FULL of boredom

8:45 am Arrived at school and getting ready for the aptitude test.

9:08 am Freaking out! There were questions on GDP, demand and supply curve, all the accounting and calculus stuff. (Like I remembered how to do integration and limits.) Oh yeah, one question was to discuss the history and significance of WTO, OECD, IMF.....how nice!......

9:56 am The test turned out to be a complete fraud. It scared the hell out of us because it was a 90 minute exam which was worth who knew how many marks. Thank God I didn't actually count up the total.

11:37 am Lunch that took forever.

And NOW, here's the FUN!!!!!!

1:31 pm Mystery Bus Tour (ooooooooooooooh, interesting....) which was as follows-----

1:37 pm We stopped at a bookstore called "Unitext" which apparently offers the cheapest textbooks. We didn't even went inside the store.

2:00 pm Treasure Hunt at Vaughan???????????Oh pleeeeease.....We were to find 13 items at this isolated plaza in Vaughan. After half an hour of exciting treasure hunting, everyone went to an Irish pub. There's alcohol, dance, karaoke, and alcohol, and sex, and once again, alcohol??!! The bus left us at the plaza and would pick us up at 6:30 pm, that was FOURHOURSLATER. I was bormbarded with the worst, most horrible, and not to mention off-key renditions of tunes from Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, and the list went on. Oh, the manager at the pub completely ruined Shakira's Underneath Your Clothes. ARGH! We were all stuck in this plaza for 4 1/2 hours. It was COLD in the pub with the air conditioning, but it was extremely HOT and SUNNY and WINDY outside. The really nice AMC theatre there was closed for the entire afternoon, if it was opened, we could have spent the 4 1/2 hours enjoying TWO MOVIES. What the heck is wrong with the undergraduate business council? Who planned this? Oh yeah I forgot to mention, there was pub night back in campus afterwards, which was part of the frosh event. But I went home early to finish my exciting day because I couldn't stand it anymore.

p.s. The only interesting incident of the day was the President of the council had did an EXCELLENT job singing an entire song by the Hong Kong once-famous band, BEYOND. It was one of the best song by BEYOND too!

2002-09-01T22:08:00.000-04:00

I want my copy!

I went to two music stores today at the FOB mall. I was looking for my Candy Lo album, but they are all sold out!!! Nooooo....=(
By the way, I checked out the receptionist(s) at Starwalk buffet again! One of the pretty receptionist is not working there though..how disappointing.

2002-08-31T23:28:00.000-04:00

How many ATPs?

Everyone has mood swing. Mine is "huge". Anyways, I wonder if we need any ATPs at all to "feel"?!
Say if we do and we need 100 ATPs, I will need like 1 million ATPs every single day for my normal function...hmm, I better start eating 10 meals each day. Oh you don't know what ATP stands for? Kill yourself. Lol

2002-08-27T00:00:00.000-04:00

First Time for Everything

It's the first time I blog-----Everyone I know is blogging now. Even the one I am living with...that would be my sis. I feel like I am missing out on everything. Plus, I had the account set up weeks ago, I'd be a retard if I don't write something here.

It's the first time I complain to a librarian on the phone (Yes! I forget to tell you I am a bookworm, kinda)----- Why? Because someone who is earning probably $14.85 an hour at the Wxoxsxdx library is not doing what she's supposed to do. By the way, she is chinese, I can't believe it. I always thought that obtaining knowledge is a pleasure, not anymore. The stupid library lost an item that I returned a week ago. If they can't find it, I have to pay for it. It's ridiculous! Please, I do not want to pay for that old, crappy box of country music. It's called Bucks Owen Collection, boys and girls. Everyone out there, don't borrow this hideous collection (hopefully you won't), it will cost you.

It's the first time I obtain a very unpleasant mark for my piano exam-----I always get one of these 2 remarks on the certificate:first class honours with distinction or first class honour. Sorry for bragging =P but that is probably the only skill I am proud of. Nope, not anymore.........Nonetheless, the exam was quite an experience...Note to self: it's the process that counts, not the result...

It's the first time I watched an entire episode of Hamtaro-----absolutely gorgeous. It's just an anime about a bunch of cute little hamsters. This is probably the only anime that gives me the urge to do some researching on the internet. To me, this rarely happens. Hamtaro RULES!
