Bandaid

This bandaid is a trooper. It's been stuck on my leg, just above my left ankle for 6 days. I have taken 7 showers and it hasn't fallen off yet! Usually, this brand doesn't stick for very long, and peels off after one or two showers.

Thursday - did my G2 test in the early morning! I PASSED !! yeaaahh! the lady  made me do parallel parking, emergency stop, up hill parking, 3 point turn and pretty much everything haha. I just drove straight to park =D awesomeee.  then I drove on the highway home.  =D also fun. and awesome.  then i went to yeehong to play chirstmas songs for the old people, lol and i messed up.. but the other guitarist covered for me =D  ahaha. then after we went to our band leader's house to have dinner made by her parents haha so awesome. So delicious. we played lots of games and opened presents and stuff =) cool stuffs.

Friday - woke up feeling kinda groggy and sick. tickly throat, runny nose, etc. went shopping at fairview with my sister. bought gifts etc. then went to get stuff to bake cookies with! yum. then i went to worship practise for retreat @  a friend's house, we practised, played COD modern warfare (2) / blackops and ate food his parents prepared/bought. =D . woulda been better if i wasnt so sick.. but yeah.. after that we went for dessert at Demetris =D and i saw some friends that came back from uni  =) yay.. missed them lots, i did. yup. after i got home, our family opened our christmas presents. =) my sister and i got my parents tickets to see the terracotta warriors @ the ROM. my mom is so funny. she ran around the house looking for random unopened things and wrapped it to give my dad lol..... she found his scarf he had "lost" and gave it to him too. haahha.......

Saturday - woke up still sick. i went to run in my basement for a bit... to try and wake me up / fight this sickness. then i finished applying for university, had lunch.... looked for laptops and stuff.. loll ugh. i dont think im going snowboarding tmr anymore =( im sick, and the people im going with are tired from journeying to USA etc. and they're going to another journey on monday .. sigh. so they need rest =( . poop.  that means that ill be able to go to the other cousin's christmas dinner lol.... because tonight i have a christmas dinner to go to (cousins) . they're like diff sides of the fam. dooootdooot doot . ugh why am i sick...... =( being sick sucks. i have a sore ish throat (really dry and tickly),  a stuffy/runny nose, and a headacheeee. rawrrr. not feeling good. i've been drinking lots of like throat soothing stuff, and cough drops and like not eating too sweet things or cold stuffs.

Riot at Costco

So I went to two baptisms after my own church's service on Sunday. My dad lent me his metropass =) . it was awesome haha. So I caught the bus all the way to mccowan and milner. and i would have caught the milner bus if the mccowan bus driver hadnt gotten off to talk to another bus driver... but yeah. so i walked the very long milner road to my friend's church. i got there just in time for the baptism. =) took a pic, and i saw someone i knew, who i would be seeing at a christmas dinner again later that night. She offered me a ride to finch so i could take the bus to finch station to the next church. After I got to finch station, I wandered around underground, trying to find a way up so that i would end up on the west side of yonge, so i wouldnt have to cross the street, but i failed, so i ended up crossing the street and walking a lot more...  The good thing was that i had a metro pass, so i caught the bus half way there, rode it for 2 stops, and got off. i got to the church early, and i saw another person that would be going to the christmas dinner after too haha and i sat with her. Then other people came, and after the baptism, i quickly took a pic with the guy getting baptised, and so did the other person. She offered me a ride to the dinner, but we had to go buy the chicken from costco first.  So she drove me to costco, and we had to wait for the other person i saw that morning lol at the other church because she was going to buy chicken with us too. We went in, and stood in line for the chicken. While we were waiting, a worker there came by to ask us how many chicken we were getting. We said 25. lol the lady was like =O no seriously. and we repeated, 25. then when they had the chicken ready, they started giving them out...and when it was our turn, we just kept taking them and putting them into our cart. After about 5 chicken, peoplee were like starting to complain that we took so many blah blah and we just kept going... and we told them that we were getting 25. and we already told them in the line up. the workers got frustrated because they didnt have enough chicken for everyone if we bought all 25, and some lady who already got her chicken was being rude saying how we're taking all the chicken and telling everyone else to go to hell, which we werent. but yeah iono why she was yelling @ us  - she already got her chicken! anyway. so we told them we already tried to order the chicken in advance but they didnt allow, and costco is a wholesale place, so they cant stop us anyway. lol so yeah...... we got all 25, and made very many people angry D= sorry!! dah. i felt bad =( .

At the christmas party (about 50 people? wow half a chicken a person lol) my band and i had to play a lot more than we expected - for the games and stuff where they wanted live music haha. but yeah good practise. i messed up my intro solo ugh for one song. but i think i made up for it after ; ) poo. cauz the pianist played/sang in 4/4 time but i was playing in 3/4 time so salkjdlksad it wasnt right. when we practised we did both so iono he always just changes on the spot. way to mess me up!. rah. anyway its okay. another performance on thursday. lots of practising to do...rah lots of stuff to do..... hwk and presents and etc. what a busy breakkk!

final rehearsal

three shows in two weeeks is a lot...... rah. lots of pracitising, lots of songs, but lots of fun and improvement. =) i am happy today. haha today's practise was productive, and i felt that i improved a lot since the last time we had a show. =) awesome stuff. i am working my wayyyy =) yeyeye.                 wheee! man i need to get a job. christmas holidays drain so much money outta meeeeee D=

Break = more work

ugh. now that the break is here, (which was initially a good thing) i have to start working.

School: I have to write my english essay, french speech, finish reading english book + questions, chem booklet, assignment, and book hwk, physics book hwk, math package and review for exam. AND APPLY FOR UNI! AHH AND DO APPLICATIONS ETC UGH

Housekeeping: I have to clean my room, organise my junk, put up the christmas tree, wrap presents, get presents, etc.

music: practise guitar - two more shows coming up. two new songs to learn for second show. then i got to practise for worship @ retreat which is thankfully a week after the shows. i gotta get down some rythmns and some solos, and some riffs. lol wow i have to do all three? T_T . guitar is hard. lots of pressure. everytime we listen to a new song we want to play, and there's a guitar part, everyone points and looks at me lol. eeep then i gotta go home, listen to the song billions of times, and then write out the chords, riffs, or solos. takes a  long time to practise and perfect toooo.  i cant say i've been practising like i should . i spend so much time catching up on episodes of random crap and just sitting around doing nothing. blahhhhhh. I NEED TO PRACTISE MORE. i like doing ittttt but im so lazyyy raaah.


the up side to all this is that i have no school to attend and waste my time at. I have plenty of time to do stuff, but only if i don't procrastinate and waste time, and if things go smoothly, i can finish everythingggggg whoo. gotta do all this before i go to retreat, which means i have just under two weeks. i should make a calendar for myself to do stuff lol. my desktop background (dec calendar) might need an enlargement to just these two coming weeks

Last Day of School 2010

=) I went to second period, where we're watching A Beautiful Mind. It's an awesome movie. I went to finish it, but we didn't finish it, what a long movie. blah what else did I do... third period I went to Mr Thomas's suspense class, where we played pictionary lol and i got a candy cane! First one this year! =) yay. yummy. my team won @ pictionary. haa. and then i went to tech with my friend and i finished my drawing and handed it in, then we went to look for another friend...... lalalla............ not much to do.... nothing to blog about really for yesterday, cept that i had a fun night @ christmas dinner @ church + bbt after. for the christmas gift exchange, i ended up with a gundam! =) yay!!!! Im gonna build it without looking @ the instructions this time, and i'll get it right. bwahahaa. not in really much of a blogging mood right now? maybe cauz i just woke up? iono.....lallala.


oh today the laptop came.. my sister's toshiba laptop's harddrive crashed, so my dad ordered a new one...apparantly HP isnt a good brand but yeah. it came today! Should we open it and use/keep it? or should we return it and get another laptop? hmmmmmm.

Parsley

My mom got me lunch from T&T today, while I was exercising. I went to see what it was! It was some viet spring roll (the clear kind) with lots of unknown stuff and parsley. D= I told her I couldn't eat parsley. She ssaid she didn't know what it was, and she told me to eat it anyway. told me to suck it up... lol. and normally, i would - if it werent for what happened last time. I had to remind my mom what happened while she was calling someone. So what happened was - two or three birthdays go, I had eaten a vienamese bun/sandwich for lunch. 5 minutes later, I felt a stirring in my tummy. Then I felt an uneasiness (I have felt this before), and shortage of breath. I knew something was going down - wrong.... and I assumed it was something happenninng with my bowel system......Anyway, I suddenly had to go to the washroom, feeling increasing pains in my stomach. Then, I had massive diarrhea... and then I puked....... and then I had more diarrhea.. lol ........ So since then, I've avoided eating parsely. I don't like it anyway; the intense flavour makes me feel sick, it isnt tasty anyway - so yap. I wouldn't say that I'm allergic to parsley, but I sure wouldn't want another episode of that again. I get a lot of tummy aches... and pains .. frequent when I eat certain foods (although there are so many that I don't know what it is that causes this) and also occasional nights, where I am suddenly immobilized and must stagger my way to the washroom so I don't puke in my bed or anything of that sort. blah. I should add parsley to the list of foods I can not eat. They already include eggplant and realllllllly slimy things like white fungus and sea cucumber. Nasty stuff.



Thursday update:

my mom packed me the viet spring roll thing for lunch.... lol..... lovely. sigh.  I told my mom to pack me some buns instead, but she didnt. lol ...... then after I came home from school, my mom told me she didn't finish eating her lunch, and told me to eat it. it was in the microwave. I looked in the microwave and it was the viet spring roll. lol.     oh maaaaan.

Crosswords

My friend brings a metro to english every class. First period. Every other day. We leave the crossword on the table between us and we solve it throughout the entire class. Fun stuff. At home, my dad brings one back to me every day (when he remembers to) and sometimes it comes with those little "metro play" booklets with like 3-4 crosswords and some sudoku and something called a kakuro. VERY. INTENSE. NUMBER. THING. wow so hard. i tried doing one of those kakuros! i didnt solve it. daha. anyway, to make myself feel more productive other than just watching shows on the computer, I am taking a giant stack of metros i have collected in my room, and i am tearing out the crosswords =) fun stuffffff.

Fried Rice

I decided to make dinner for my mom& dad.. cauz they're coming home late.... lolll my mom told me that she had rice already, and theres left over stuff in the fridge. So I decided to make fried rice. I have never made fried rice before. lol sighhhh the rice didnt exactly "fry" the way i wanted it to because i put in the leftover tofu dish D= blahhhhh and now its too moist to fry. sigh. now it looks nasty lol but i bet it tastes good =D


okay.. so my mom just got home... she asked me where the fried rice was. i pointed to the corning ware... she opened it........ and her facial expression was so confused. Then, she said " why is it like this?" heheheha oh dear...... D= then she muttered to herself "oh man, i dont know if we can eat that"  D= lolo ahahahh okay so. i am a great cook! i've only screwed up ... 25% of what i've made! =D right thats not bad! lollol you cook and you learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

T&T

T&T is my life. I talk about T&T a lot. I go to T&T a lot. I live 5 mins away from T&T. T&T is the best place ever! Inside food court with diff restarurants to choose from from congee to bibimbap to fried rice to takoyaki. They also have ready to eat food at the supermarket - dimsum, sushi, viet food, dinner dishes, bread, other bakery goods, etc. DELICIOUS STUFF. Man. I love it when their stuff goes on sale. I constantly check out their prices for when some good stuff goes on sale. Sometimes, when I see something inetesting and on sale, I'll get it to try it out. mmm!!!! Today, at T&T while I was looking for something to pack for lunch, they had brown music on. lol .. not to discriminate or anything, but I thought it was quite odd. Then, they started playing terrible remixes of Christmas songs. blehhh. gross. it sounded all poly-tony and the singer(s) didn't even sound good. They sounded like screeching rabbits or something (not that i know what that sounds like, but doesnt that give you a horrible image?) .

I hate it when people go through the wrong doors. Especially when its an automatic door, that either opens in or out. They also have a round sticker at eye level, where it indicates whether the door is used for people to ENTER or EXIT. Some stickers use simpler words: IN and OUT. PEOPLE NEED TO FOLLOW THESE DOOR SIGNS. ughh . SO ANNOYING. This always happens at T&T. Maybe they need to get signs that say IN and OUT in chinese, and perhaps tamil too. Here are some reasons why it pisses me off. I'm trying to go in (through the IN door), and this asian lady comes pushing her cart out through the IN door THE WRONG WAY towards me........... SO I AM TRAPPED OUTSIDE!!!!!! I can't get in through the OUT door because it doesnt open my way, and there is no sensor on my side. I can't get in through the IN door because this stupid lady has her cart there and is taking her freaking time. IT'S COLD OUTSIDE! LADY GET A MOVE ON! UGH OR USE THE RIGHT DOOR...... ughhhhhhaaaaawuuuggaaah.  Another instance, is when I am not at the doors yet, so they dont sense me, but someone else walked through recently, so the doors are open. Another asian lady decides to go out the already open door (IN) with her cart - totally walking past the OUT door. She wheels her cart....... just as the IN door closes. She hits the door with the cart at full speed. Now, the IN door opens inwards, towards the lady... and she kept trying to push the door with her cart. LADY, IT IS NOT GOING TO OPEN. ugh read the sign! AND LET ME IN! WHY ARE YOU BLOCKING THE DOORRRRRRRRRRRRRR RAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH.


okay im goood. i've been wanting to complain about that for a while now hehe.

Say No to Tummy Aches

I finally got the chance to eat this cake that my dad bought when he was in Macau. DELICIOUS cake!!!!! it has like layers and layers of stuff. lol so delicious. dont know what its called but its so gooooood mmm! He brought it back in like september october? and we froze what we couldnt finish.... and i just heated it up to eat.. so i hope i dont get sick !!!!! BUT YEAH!! i have a great tolerance (i think) for expired foods, so if this doesnt go down well, i'll be fine!!!!!!!! =)

Hi, I'm your daughter?

I come home from school. It is 4 pm. I came home as fast as I could because my parents told me to get back in time to let my dog out to pee, since noone would be home to do that for a long time. When I came home, my dog greeted me happily and excitedly by jumping on me, wagging her tail, and licking my face. I played with her for a long time. Then hungry, I went into the kitchen. I noticed that the stove was on... and then everything I had noticed on  my way in started to come back to me - my mom's jacket was hanging there, her keys were still there........ and yet where was she? So I went upstairs and saw that her bedroom door was open......and there she was, sitting at the computer. I said " Hi mom, why didn't you say hi to me? I didn't even know you were home!" .......a moment later... " mom..?" ....................................... my mom " oh hi. I didn't hear you call me so I didn't say anything." T_T then she told me to turn off the stove. I went to the kitchen to grab something to eat, and then I did some scholarship searching etc.. and I got really tired. My mom came down to make dinner, and I asked her what time we would be eating at. She told me 6, then asked me why. I said " I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to take a quick nap." then she replied " okay, I'll call you down when I'm done cooking then." I went to sleep. I woke up at 8pm. I asked my mom "mom? isn't it dinner time? it's already 8."   She replieed " Oh, I ate already."      so i said " what? why didn't you wake me up? What if I have lots of work to do?! "  she said " so who cares? Kyra ate already too. I called you but you didnt come down."   I said " I was sleeping! Of course I wouldn't hear you! .. and why didn't you call me after you came up? you were upstairs this whole time and you didn't bother to wake me up? "     she said " who cares? " and continued to do her thing. maybe i'm overreacting because im so groggy and tired but still. what a meanie bun.

get 'em boots on!

SNOW IS HERE! WINTER HAS ARRIVED! time for it to bring the snow on. BRING IT. I can NOT wait to go snowboardinggggggg WHEEEEWWW!@!@!@! yayyyyyyyyyy I am hoping to be able to go to Blue mountain this year!!!!!!!! I've never been there beforeeeee & I heard its awesomeeee!!!!!!! SO I WANNA GO. RAAH.  Got so much stuff going on during the break, it's like I have no break. I'm taking a break from school and going full swing on music and dinners and food and dinners and music and food..... lol yay....oh and i have my G2 test! dahahaha. I went driving today with my dad... and there were a few times where the steering wheel swerved without my control D= so scary! but good thing there wasnt anyone around for me to hit. =P. 

I found out two days ago that I've been wearing the wrong boots... for like the past week. ...... When the first snowfall came, I dug up "my" boots from the basement. My mom was away so I couldnt ask her to find them for me. When I found "mine", I put it on and it fit so I wore it... for a week. Then one day, I noticed another pair of boots of similar style - it just didnt have zippers on the side. Since I was in a rush, I put them on, thinking they were my boots. They were.  The next day, I went to put on my boots again, and my mom was there. I got confused again as to which ones were mine so I asked my mom. It turns out that the boots with zippers (the one i wore for a week) were actually her boots...  memory fail. and I was wondering why my boots made so much noise (the zippers) since I didn't remember that before.

Picture - not perfect !?

So I was looking through my mom's camera ... (she's one of those ladies who carry them around with them EVERYWHERE) lol hehe. and I saw her pictures of me playing @ the show today (or rather yesterday) .. and in all of them I look kind of like .... emotionless or like not happy or something i dunno. just not good hahahdada. blahhhh but i duno.. like should I smile or something lol totally creep people out. dahaha.. I think I just look so intense because I'm concentrating on what I'm playing.... or I was having trouble trying to see the chords (forgot my glasses) .. lol and I'm in my own world......so like everyone is blocked out cept the music and im just playing along............... I dont know what kind of expression to put on? Maybe I should look out for my mom's camera next time lol and smile.... and then go back.. but I'm afraid I'll lose my spot and then play the wrong chord or note or something daha. wouldnt want tthat to happen!  blublub

Hot Tea

People always try to fill your cup with hot tea at asian restaurants when they see that it is partially empty. Not everyone likes this!!!! They kept trying to fill my cup. The first guy, motioned for me to bring the cup closer to him (I was hugging it away from him) but  I told him "no ty". The second lady said " 'xcuse me, may I fill your cup?" i said " no thankyou!" The third lady said nothing. She just reached over my head and sloshed some hot hot tea into my cup..... and then I quickly went " Oh, its good . I don't need any more thanks!" and yeah.. i couldnt drink it for like the longest time. Sigh..... I can't drink hot stuff!@!@! raaah dah i am a fail asian.  I have to wait until its like at least a bit cooler etc. blah blah bllah its like the older version of the three little pigs lol. "the first little lady (guy) used gestures." " the second little lady used speech." " the third little lady just did." T_T

Arthritis

My bones crack; some more than others, but they crack. Usually, my ankles crack when I go down stairs, my back only when I stretch it, my knee when I run, or when I go down stairs too.. and my toes.. when I play piano, or walk, and my fingers crack the most. They crack when I play piano, guitar, when I am typing, when I am writing, or just for no reason. Sometimes, I just feel the need to crack it, or it feels uncomfortable. My thumbs crack the most. I crack it and then crack it and crack it. There doesn't need to be a waiting period inbetween the cracks. It just crack crack cracks. Sometimes it hurts, between the joints there is a soreness, a dull pain and it just burns a bit. Sometimes my neck cracks too. At school, I always feel the need to stretch my neck back... then I stretch my limbs.. and then my back. Just randomly. It feels good. So good. I relax my muscles, I tense them, and then I stretch them. My back hurts a lot. I don 't know why. I try to sit straighter... and stretch it more. I always have to sleep on my back, or I will wake up with a sore back the next day.

When I was little, the phone rang. My sister and I both picked up different phones at the same time. We could conference talk the caller. After they hung up, my sister and I wouldn't be the first to hang up. So she started whispering " You're going to get arthritis!". I forget what we were talking about initially that led to this, but that's what I remember. I think I was probably 10 or 12 or something like that. I didn't know what arthritis meant. I looked it up..(arthritis: inflammation of or around a joint) and yeah I do not want to get it. I have  a very very bad strong feeling that I will get it someday ..

Headache

Dah... Probably from the coffee? I was at the coffee shop again today. fun. There wasn't much work to do though, since I did most of it yesterday. =) ... but I have a headache now and I'm so tired.. ugh. This morning, I woke up at 7 30 (almost one hour before usual lol ) because I heard my dad running up and down the stairs D= because he was going to be late to catch the bus. And he had let the dog out D= so it took some time =/ I'm trying to wake up earlier now, so I can take her out instead.... but so far I haven't. Blah. I need to set an earlier alarm... even though I set it at 7 45, I wake up at 815... I don't hear my alarm, or I can bear to ignore it.

Sigh. I have a performance tmr.. at a mall lol...... and I can't find the music for the first song we're doing T_T. way to go. haha i'll have to check my guitar case! I'm not ready!!!!! There's one song that has a chorus.. with like really super dee duper fast chord changes... and I have NO IDEA when to change... so maybe I'll just pretend to play dahahaha... turn myself down.... or something peeheee. daaarghh I wanted to practise now... but my head hurts so much... I think i'll just look for the music... and put it in a binder... like we're supposed to.. so it's not unprofessional. hahahdada. blahhhh my headdddd D= hurts.. D= ....

Coffee

I smell like coffee. My clothes smell like coffee. This is what happens when you sit in a coffee shop for three hours. I was very productive. I spent the whole time studying for chem, I did almost every single question from my text book that I printed out (so I wouldn't have to carry the whole text book). I circled the ones that I got wrong, and I tried to figure them out. All I have to do now, is to reread the whole chapter and I should be good to go.  Since I was at the coffee shop for a very long time, I ordered a bigger cup of coffee than I usually do. I got a large. Then as always, I had to pee. I took my money (10 bucks lol), my phone, my keys, and finished my coffee. I held it for as long as I could. I also held it because I wanted to finish hearing the song hehe on the radio (the one from trans-siberian orchestra, epic christmas instrumental). Then I left my empty cup of coffee on the desk, and looked around @ the people in the coffeeshop. After I felt I remembered everyone, I went to the washroom. I took a very long time. I had lots of pee. I peed for almost 3 minutes straight. That's how badly I had to go. Then I went back, and saw that noone took my stuff (y). Man.. I shouldn't have worn such fresh, clean and lovely smelling clothes. T_T Now my sweater smells like laundry with like a musky coffee flavour. Ugh.. I suppose it's not as bad as smelling like weed or korean BBQ etc. but still gross. I do not smoke btw. =P  but yeah. gross. I should like wear the same clothes every time I go to the coffee shop . lol that way I wont stinkify my other clothes. but nah, the people there would think I'm nasty cauz I'm always wearing the same clothes. hehehe. Even though I only go like once or twice a week, it'll be like "hey look! It's the girl who wears the same thing!" ... eww...

Butter Chicken

I just got back from T&T and practising how to drive. I suck at backing in on my left side... but parellel parking is good! What was hard was the snow... some of it clumped up and formed mini snow banks and some turned into ice.... so I had no idea if (when parallel parking) I went on to the curb or not. There was so much good stuff at T&T. I love T&T. There is so much food! So much stuff goes on sale after like 8pm. =) just so awesome. I think we got there around like 8 30? Got to snatch some good food still. I love it when cool stuff is on sale, mmm. We got butter chicken for tmr night (even though I wont be eating at home),  I got sushi for lunch, and curry rice for dinner. When I got home, I decided to pack my lunch. I love packing my lunch too lol I seem to love a lot of things today. Anyway, I love packing my lunch because there are leftovers that I can't fit into the corning ware so I have to EAT IT! YEAAAH!@!@!@! Also, I got to try the butter chicken. Here's the thing with butter chicken. The first time I tried it was at a buffet. It was nasty. Normally, I love chicken (here we go again). This was an exception. When I ate that butter "chicken", it did not TASTE ANYTHING CLOSE TO CHICKEN! dah! Paccckhh!@!@! nasty stuff. So I decided not to eat it again. so gross. but today, there wasnt anything else that looked that great, and my dad wanted to get it, so we got it. And I decided to give it a try (i already ate the leftover lunch i couldnt pack) and it was pretty good. So good that I ate more and more and more... so now there's a chunk missing from the container hehe. It was spicy. The butter chicken I remember eating at the buffet was nothing like it. So I decided that it was because the chicken I just ate was chinesianized? is that a word? i dont know. It was good. =D I dont think i really like the "butter" part tho, felt kinda gross. Other than that, the taste was there. Maybe because it was spicy mmmm and warm mmm....

I noticed that I used " I decided" and " I love" a lot today.

Let's Play Catch - Up

So I need to catch up. Remember all that stuff about how I've been falling asleep in class? I have a chem test on Friday and I tried doing some hwk questions today...... and I had no idea what to do. lol.. guess I have to read the chapter and go over the notes! blublubblub. I don't have to do any math until the break, since my test is after the break. phew. English has lots of work to do, I have to find a thesis for my essay... and I have to get some research stuff to bring to class so we can "work in class" . ew. i hate working in class. it's so stupid. So limited. blah... I always end up doing nothing useful anyway. hmm hmm. I should reorganize my stuff... so that it'll be organized lol.. so I'll feel more productive. I finished all the work due tmr... cept for this tech drawing we're supposed to hand in tmr.. but we'll get class time, and im sure noone's finished (cept for some keeners, there will always be those keeners) so someone will probably complain and buy us more time =D. go them. french test on conditional and hypothetical phrases on friday too. I just gotta remind myself the difference between imaginary and real situations.... and I gotta remember to always recheck the verb tenses... I tend to miss stuff. Productive day though, finished all work at like 7pm which is so early. Usually I wait until after dinner before I start any work, and usually I find a way to procrastinate so that I have lots of work to do and it's past my self-declared bedtime - 12.   good job me. i should pat myself on the back. I have plenty of time to read my chem stuff.... and possibly do some questions, practise some guitar/piano... do some fun stuff that I usually don't make time to do! =) get ready for tmr. big day! not really. lol I just gotta prepare some work that I can do at the coffee shop tmr. I love working @ coffee shops, other than smelling kinda weird after - it's so peaceful there, and noone bothers me. My only problem is that when I have to pee, noone will watch my stuff... so.... yeah D=  can't go pee! I should have like a study buddy or something. Then I can pee all I want, er .. neeed.

Jeremiah 17:9

⁵ This is what the LORD says:
   “Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
   who draws strength from mere flesh
   and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
⁶ That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
   they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
   in a salt land where no one lives.
 ⁷ “But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
   whose confidence is in him.
⁸ They will be like a tree planted by the water
   that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
   its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
   and never fails to bear fruit.”
 ⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things
   and beyond cure.
   Who can understand it?
 ¹⁰ “I the LORD search the heart
   and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
   according to what their deeds deserve.”
 ¹¹ Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
   are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
   and in the end they will prove to be fools.
 ¹² A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
   is the place of our sanctuary.
¹³ LORD, you are the hope of Israel;
   all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust
   because they have forsaken the LORD,
   the spring of living water.
 ¹⁴ Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed;
   save me and I will be saved,
   for you are the one I praise.
¹⁵ They keep saying to me,
   “Where is the word of the LORD?
   Let it now be fulfilled!”
¹⁶ I have not run away from being your shepherd;
   you know I have not desired the day of despair.
   What passes my lips is open before you.
¹⁷ Do not be a terror to me;
   you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
¹⁸ Let my persecutors be put to shame,
   but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
   but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
   destroy them with double destruction



I was talking to a friend, and this verse popped in my head. So I decided to search it up and look what I found.

Wake Up Tired?

For the past few days, I have been waking up tired. I scramble out of bed... or sometimes I just lie there until it is absolutely necessary to jump out of bed and rush through getting ready for school and stuff. I always aim to leave at 8:30, but I've been leaving at like 8:35 lately, and thankfully our school clock is messed up so when I get to school, I am early/ontime/just barely late. So yeap. Then I sit through period one... I am quite awake...for the first half hour.... then I start to lean on one arm.... and then my eyes close..... but my other hand is still writing.... and my ears are still listening...so if anyone asks me what was being said, I can still repeat it back to them. I am aware of what is going on..... except my eyes cant seem to stay open for it. I groggily make my way to second period. I go in, feeling a bit more refreshed after the walk. I try to look awake for the teacher. She starts talking and I am listening and I am finding the topic very interesting. Soon enough, my head suddenly jerks upwards, and I realise that I have fallen asleep. I take a quick glance to see if anyone noticed. Nope... maybe I wasn't out for too long. Lunch. I eat. I walk around. I talk to people. I am awake. Third period. I have either a test or a free period. I do the test, and when I am just finished, my eyes shut off... for a moment to relax... I hand in the test. Then I rest until everyone else has finished. If I have a free period, I do work. I have music going through my head, and I am focused on doing work. I finish a couple questions... I start to tackle a harder problem..... I suddenly jolt myself awake.......then I go back to solving the problem...............and someone talks to me..... and I wake up to respond. I go home.  Standing in the cold wakes me up a bit. Sitting on the bus makes me think.... and I start to drift off........ I get off the bus. I cross the street. No cars hit me; I am alert enough.  I enter my house to a warm, excited cutie pie of a dog and she jumps on me and licks my face. I take her outside to play in the snow and we have fun. I feel more awake and alert. We go back inside, and I grab something to eat. I get a drink. I start to get ready to do work........ I see my bed, and I change  and I fall asleep on the bed, leaving my work spilled out all over my desk. I don't wake up when my parents get home. I know they are back, but my eyes are closed and I turn to my side. I don't wake up when my parents call out for me. I don't wake up when they come into my room to see me sleeping. I don't wake up until they've calleed me at least 5 times to go down for dinner. I wake up and go downstairs feeling more tired and groggy than before. After dinner, I make myself a cup of coffee, and go back to my room to do work. I finish what's due the next day and I tell myself I'm going to practise guitar and shower and then sleep. I end up procrastinating, pooing, showering and falling asleep instead. Repeat.

I don't know. D= coffee doesn't help. my head hurts when I'm at school. I sleep at 12 latest!!! I wake up at earliest 8am! I GET MY 8 hours!!!! I usually don't feel too great without 8 hours.. but yeah. iono maybe im getting old! lol ionoo braaaaaaaaahhhh

prom?

tmr's the last day for early bird sales. I am asian, therefore,  I must choose between buying it tomorrow, or not going at all. go or no go?

pros:  - final year? so we can do something fun with everyone...before we all go off... to the same university...lol................... why does everyone want to go to waterloo man.........
- everyone looks so pretty! ......
- if I don't go, what will I do....dahaha  .. (would I be able to sneak in? nahhh)

cons:  have to spend 100 on ticket, and another 100+ on a dress + transportation. ( yes, if I go I still want to look nice)
I'll probably see everyone again anyway ... (or I dont want to) it is not the last time I will see everyone, so I don't care.
100 bucks for a few hours? really?? I can chill with friends anytime for wayyy less!
blublublublub . . . . chuggachugga.....chooooooooo choooooooooo........................


iono man. wtf. why are they selling tickets already. it's ... december....... dude..... lol it's two seasons away.....and who really thinks about this stuff so early on (other than some girls who already picked out their dresses? wtf?) !@!@!  sure, they need to plan.... but do they reallllly need to plan .... like now?! the # of people and stuff? reservations  and food i guess........... @_@ .. but it'll change after early bird too.... so i could buy after if I really wanted to go.... but like why pay extra right. so asian. blahhh   prom is overrated. dubdubdubdubdubblubbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabammm.

meant to live

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6UZN8cGTsU - Switchfoot

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

D=  blah . .. . evven the littlest of things mustttt be remembered! so many details! so many people! so many things to do! so small a memory.....................so short a memory............... D=

Games games games night!!

Today for fellowship, we had games night! Led by me! =) and of course, we had a fun fun fun time!

We played "hit the silly melon" first, to get to know people... and at first , I was kind of sad.. because there was this one guy who after  a series of rounds didn't get called once, (because noone knew his name/remembered) he gave up and put in his earphones. And then I was like (i sat two people away) " Hey, why are you putting them on? You wont' be able to hear us call you like that. " and he said " noone's calling me anyway so who cares." ... T_T and he had to do that before I got the chance to call him D= cauz i was looking around to see who hadnt been called yet, and it took me a while to remember his name.. but when i did it was too late =( .. yeah... but then late people came, so we went around with the names again, and this time people knew his name! yay.. for late people! lol .. then we played some drawing game where we were gonna draw someone ... but like in parts....and different people drew different parts, and noone knew what the other parts looked like.. lol pretty interesting =) ... then last game we played psychaitrist.. which is like an interesting mind ish game ! =D and  i think eberyone had fun.. lol cept the people in the middle @ first. it's all ggood =) . yuppp =)  i think in the end, everyone got to know each other  a bit more... which is cool for the new peoples too. my voice is so sore lol.... i shouted so much.. and like when i said instructions.. and i got too into the game i went a bit nuts screaming things heehehehe i think everyone thinks im crazy now dahaha which is funny cauz we just played a "what is wrong with you" game =P   looking forward to retreat.

I found it?

I think today, I went home.. and thought about what we talked about at T4C. We talked about how God comes first, and then everything else. I think that's why I felt that I had no drive a few weeks ago. I think that I've just been misplacing my priorities. God has given me all the tools and equipment I need, so many wonderful people who are kind and are willing to teach me guitar, and here I am complaining about how I don't want to improve?!! wtf T_T .      I do like playing guitar... lol I'm so silly. Anyyway, I decided that my grades don't matter as much as God's work, so I practised today! =) It felt great, and it was good - I am improving and I haven't lost anything (over the past two weeks where I haven't practised much) , I still remember the new chords I learned and the riffs/solo. I also had time to exercise and finish all my homework. See? Already, God is helping me prioritize and since I spent some time to practise guitar for God's Kingdom, He gave me time to finish everything else. What could be better?

thursdays 3:20 rm 114

I think I'm gonna go to T4C more often... every time I go, I learn something new about God. There's always a message to take away; whether we play games, we sing praises, or we listen to mr torrs or justin talk. It's amazing how God placed them at my school and we have the most awesome group discussions. The group size isn't so big, and the people who show up every week vary, but there is still always something meaningful and wonderful that I take away. Today, we were reminded again - that marks dont matter! God already knows what we're going to end up with - and He's decided that it's what's best for us! Whatever happens is in His will, and we know that (from previous experiences, posts, and T4Cs) that all we have to do is to use what God blessed each one of us with for His glory (not our own)- then everything else will come. All we have to do, is take that leap of faith, and trust that God will lead us in the right direction. We don't have to do much as humans, we don't have the ability to do what God can, but He is willing and is able to guide us in the right paths. The more we learn about Him, the more experiences we have with Him, the more our faith will build in Him, and we will be able to trust Him with bigger and more important things! We've got the most powerful being on our side, wanting the best for us - and who are we compared to Him? How awesome is that? How can you not want Him on your side? Go go!

mmm food

Working in the kitchen is so distracting. It makes me want to eat everything I see around me. There is so much yummy stuff. hehe.. today, for dinner, we had some sort of soup dish with rice (its sort of like soft tofu stew or kimchi stew, or pork bone soup) but it had like a mix of italian wedding soup + korean stuff + random other stuff.. so good. my fav soups are italian wedding & clam chowder! Clam chowder is high in cholesterol =( so I can't have it too much! so sad! today, I was at T&T and I saw Almond Roca!!! mmmmmm it's the best candy/chocolate ever! It's a buttercrunch toffee.. lol .. but its like coated in chocolate and almond bits and yeah iono SO GOOD. I got sushi for lunch tomorrow! and onigiri!!! yeyee mmm so good. i tried making onigiri before....... lol it didnt turn out.. as ... lovely as i would have liked, but it still tasted pretty good! the appearance.... wasn't that great though =P

the best patty place

Today, I was waiting for the bus at stc. I thought I made it to the stop just before it came (since it was the time the bus was supposed to be there).. so I stood there and waited. . . but no bus came... for 5 mins... and noone else was there... until after those 5 mins... other people came, so I assumed the bus had come early. So I contemplated getting a patty from Gateway (sounds/looks sketch?)... a patty would be warm, tasty, and satisfy my hunger... but I wasn't that hungry... and it wasn't that cold.. but I could use something tasty... mmm.... so I decided to get one. It has been a very long time since I last bought one. But from what I could remember, they were always the best at that place.  So I got one (yeah the price went up by 10 cents since I was last there) and it was delicious!!!! Well worth it. So good. It just melted in my mouth (well not really, I had to chew the mmmmmm yummy flakyyy exterior.... oh my  so goooood. mmmmmmmmmmm.. it totally made up for how this morning, I put a candy in my pocket so I could cheer myself up after doing a math test (which i didnt do too well on, i must say - didnt get that one hard question)... but I forgot about the candy! So anyway, the patty made up for it. The long wait before I could cheer myself up was totally worth it. Not that I was upset.... but you know,  it just mmmmmmmmade me happier. and my tummy happier..... mmm     i made sure I held on to that patty extra tight when people walked by; I could sense them staring at my patty... hoping that I wouldn't notice if they tried to STEAL IT!!
