2 hours and 28 minutes away from new year...
Yes... my new year's resolution? hmm..
I don't think I ever had any every year.... haha
it MIGHT be because I'm afraid of setting goals too high that I won't be able to achieve.. (so one word, lazy)
or... might be because I'm just happy with the way things are now! =) (another word, optimistic!)
hahaha so this year.. no resolutions either. =p
just a plain new year... and a simple ol' me. heheee
Oops I've been neglecting my blog these few days... haha
feelin kinda bored.......
how come it's like this every new year's eve?

Update for today:
My mom's back!!! =D!!! heheee.. ho yea.....
too bad my holiday's almost over.. /_\ don't get to go BOXING WEEK shopping with her!! Sucks...
Ohhh wellz!! hehe it's still nice... I missed her... =0
Anyways.. mom back also = new RACKET and CLOTHES and VCDs and CDs and COMICS!!! puhahaha....
WOOHOOO....... my lovely racket's finally here!!!!!!! Wheeee!!!!!!!!! Need to get it strung and tested! heheee... can't wait..
goin crazy over comics..... I have new ONE PIECE and Bwanted and Cutie^n comics!!! >=D!!!
And also new HOODIES. lol hahah... yup.. MORE hoodies for me! hehee...
and my mom got me Yonex socks!?? hmm I haven't worn TALL socks for so long.. haha always wear ankle-length these days. -_-;;
CD and VCD are kinda disappointing tho... cuz apparently I gave my mom the wrong CD name so she bought the wrong one.. -_-;; gonna steal one of cj's word..... BAGA!!!!!!!!!!!
And VCDs she didn't buy any herself.. she "borrowed" all of them from her friends/relatives so I end up with a whooole bunch of OLD movies..... and no "turn left, turn right"! ><.... I so wanted to watch that.. )=p OH wellz...
hahaha but overall.. sooo much good stuff.......... heheee.. so ho, so ho! =D

IT's been snowing so much these few days....... =D
so pretty outside!! heheee..
I actually don't mind driving on snow/ice... hehee altho it skids sometimes it's kinda fun. hahaha...
and like... I wanna know how fast I have to go b4 I skid... hehee...
I know wat I'm doin... =p I'm a safe driver! hahahaha....................

Spent the last two days with cj...... =)
Made Tiramisu... hehee i think I know how to make it now too! =p haha I'll sing kup from jor sau #2 to MAIN CHEF! lol take over you! hek hek hek... j/k..
Finally watched Infernal Affairs 2... hehee it's pretty good I thought... Ng jun yuu is so ying!!!
Too bad things turned out the way it did in the movie.. haha it's like.. u can't say that any of them is BAD...... Lau ga ling just wanted her husband to be good... Jung jee wai had to avenge his lost wife... Ng Jun Yuu needs to avenge his lost father... bleh..... in conclusion.. revenge is POINTLESS cuz everyone ends up dying and it just screws things up cuz they killed Ng Jung Yuu!! =( hahaha.......
Anyhow...it's been so good.............. hehee hope there's many more of these days to come!! =D

C1 badminton last night.. FINALLY!!! After 1.5 weeks of resting.. hehe..
sucks tho.. I'm so out of shape... -_-;; ran out of breath after 3 games...
and I think I'm hurting my patpat muscle again cuz my leg muscles are too weak. -_-;;
BUT... it was still FUN.. heheee.. played mixed mostly with cj.. and one game of doubles! hehe
couldn't drop properly tho...oiy.. and lost my timing for returning smashes..><
nooo... must.. improve....

and last but not least..
HAPPY NEW YEAR to y'all!! =D
Shoot... I feel really bad today after saying somethin I shouldn't have.
I really need to get rid of that negative sarcastic bit of me...............

12.28.2003

been setting up stuff in my computer and cleaning my room all day....
Went to Fukuroku w/ Jenn this afternoon...
there was this Chopped Scallop sushi circling around the table... and half of the chopped scallop is falling off.... Jenn said at the beginning of our lunch "I bet u this is gonna stay here till we leave" and when we left.. it was still there... still half falling off. LOL
Anyhow.. good thing she liked the Tshirt.. =D heheee...
then we went to Daiso... good stuff...!!! The BEST thing there was.... the organizing stuff!!! Everything there made me wanna reorganize my room. hahah... and so I bought two small cupboard things... only $2 each!! =D hehe... and next time I go there I'm planning to buy more cupboard things and this thing so I can put the cupboard on top and put other stuff in the bottom. =) hehee... and also this thing that I can hang on the wall, so I can hang stuff on it... to put in my washroom. =) optimizing space! hehee Soo good....
too bad there weren't many pretty stationary.. -_-;; jenn and I were both disappointed. haha
and the (junk) food was alll gone......... >< Otherwise.. it's a pretty good store. =)
I like Aberdeen... the look of it and the spaciousness.. =) I think it'll turn out to be quite a good mall when it's complete...
Anyhow... so I went home with the stuff, set them up.. and started cleaning my room!!
haha I'm only cleaning one table and it's taken me the whole evening.. -_-;;
now it's half done...... waiting for myself to buy the other thing so I get more space to do more organizing! hehee..
The hardest part of cleaning is... throwing out stuff...
there are so many things that are completely useless... but they're of some level of sentimental value to me........ so.. to chug or not to chug? Ahhhh....... decisions, decisions....... ><
Oh yes.. hehee I realized a lot of cups were taking up space on my table.... I finally took them out of the boxes and brought them down to the kitchen and counted a total of.... 4 cups and 2 mugs. hahaha..... =p So many new cups to use!
Ooki... now I gotta install my digi cam driver so I can upload pix... ; )

@ 11:33PM
Pix are up! =)

AND it's finally snowing... snow came a bit late this year tho,
JUST missed christmas...... but oh well!! =) I like snow.
and so it's time for the FULL lyrics of my favorite christmas song Let it snow! Lol here goes:
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kissgoodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! =D

12.21.2003

Whoa some unknown ppl msged me and asked "How are u doing in UT?"
...???.... I don't even go to UT......... -_-;;

anyhow... first of all, a recap of yesterday...
Went to Diane's place to look at peke puppies!!
They were sooooooooo adorable!!!!!!!
Extremely cute!!! =) If you see them u'll just be tempted to pick them up and larm them and play with them... hhehe SUPER hor oi.... but they were growing teeth so they kept gnawing on my finger and my shoelace.. hehee still soooo cute tho.
I was playing with this puppy and then it puked!! ><.. turns out it's cuz it ate some expired cheese.. =p not my fault.. hehee..
After playing with some puppies I went to Metro to meet up with cj, kyole and bearz..
Afterwards I watched "The Returner" at cj's house starring Gum sing mo.. hehee he's so ying... =p
but basically the storyline is quite okay..... interesting twist in the end.. hehe
Then hotpot @ Mark's! hehee.. soooo much food.. I was so stuffed..
but it was good!! hehehee I like the HK style hotpot... shabushabu's not as fun =p
VT doubles...... hehee good stuff... so hard to hit the ball when it's high tho.. -_-;; hehee
played till my thumb started to feel sore!!! hehee good thing I didn't get a blister.. =p
Reminded of the times when Jenn kept calling Shao "mister blister".. LOL......
Went home at around 3....

Didn't wake up until 2PM today.. hahaha
OH yea.. record of wat I learnt during lesson today:
-crossing birdie when someone's pushing/killing it at u
-serving, and driving, return of serve and killing
-drop to middle and then cross and drop the birdie
uhh.. was that it? Can't remember anymore.. -_-;;
warning: DON'T have KFC right before exercising.... it warms up ur stomach SO much... a bit TOO much

Then MORE baddy @ C1 tonite..=) good stuff..
Doubles with Windelen and Bondelen... and then Mixed with cj...
Good stuff! hehee felt more awake as I played...
Was trying to dump on a serve but couldn't!! noo...always tempted to push..
and my flick serves always go out....... -_-;; need to work on those...
And returning smashes!! Always miss the one on my forehand.. ><
need more maneuverability. hahaha is there even such word....
But generally I think I played better than normal.. =D haha
see... it's all balanced.. hehee when academics go down, other stuff like badminton goes UP! heeh

Lemme see.. plans for next 3 days...
meeting up with Christine, Katie and them... =) gotta do lots of catching up..
and then monday... got errands to run and physio appointment..
tuesday.. I get cjp!!!!!!!!!! hek hek hek hek...

12.19.2003

haha how come I blogged more when I had finals??
the answer is probably cuz...
blogging an excuse for me to tun pork during the finals..
but now since there're NO MORE FINALS... I dun need to escape from studyin anymore! hehee..

Anyhow... update for yesterday first..
Mel should be on the plane right now.. hehee mistakened 01AM as 10AM? =)
Have a nice trip Mel! hehee...
Went to RC with her to get secret santa present... hehee...
with a bit of help from Dewi I think I got the present that person wants. excellence....
And then we chatted a bit and walked around.. they were shopping for cosmetics...
Mel was asking me "which shade of lip gloss looks better?"
and I was like "ah... ur asking ME for opinion on MAKEUP? hahaa...."
seriously... I don't know nuthin... er... am I supposed to kno? heh..
Mel said it's "supposed to be a girl's instinct"...... uh......... lalalala.......
Anyways.... it was nice catching up with them again... heheee altho the engineers have gone on a totally different channel..... I'm sure it won't be too hard to tune them in (notice: we're tuning THEM back in, not the other way around lol)

Last night was my mood fluctuation night but I'm over that now! =p
bah!! Worries!!! I'm immune to them after a day! muhaha....
On the other hand..today was a great day... =)
Got to hang out with cj and made Tiramisu!! hee.. didn't get to see the end product..
cuz we rushed to the PG Badminton team dinner after... =p
Shota sushi is... pricey.. as expected. haha Good thing Vivian had 50% discount coupon.. hehee
And they got us a present and a card signed by (almost) everyone!!! =D thankyou sooo much..
Team dinner went quite well... Jeff embarrassed Vivian so much haha but it was quite funny...
cj finally learnt how education works in PG... (skipping... cheating... and Vivian's a principal list student u kno....haha)
Good stuff.. seems like they prefer Friday and they don't mind nighttime practices, so I should go find / call Mr Brian soon... oh SHOOT. high school ends on 19th!? Ah.. -_-;; so gotta remember to call tomorrow! grr..
After dinner was C1 badminton.. hehee it was quite fun... played so much doubles and a mixed game..
One major improvement-- SERVES!! At least they're LEGAL now. hahaha...
ookies.. update more tomororw.. need sleep... gonna be a busy day tomorrow....

Final results... are quite disappointing...
I expected more from Math and 216... I was hoping for more for 220 but I'd be satisfied with wat I have.... hey... I improved quite a bit from my 33% midterm. hahahaa...
still awaiting geog...........
poor grades but that's alrite..... cuz according to my theory, somethin good is happening to my life in place and it is... =D
something so much better than getting good grades. heheeee

12.17.2003

disappointment............. =(
ahhh... don't double up on me..
stupid 216 and math...........
I'm FREEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Divin into CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS!!! HOHOHO!! =D

Was kinda hyper + slow today after finals..
weird combination...... hahahaa
Wait.. some of u would probably say that I've always been slow.. -_-;;
Anyways... forget abt exams..
it's PARTAY TIME! heheee..........
Ohh.. can't wait till Friday Hotpot at Maku's place! hahaa
U guys should all call Mark "maku" from now on....lol.........
Reason for that originates from the badminton comic and the move "da mark"...
=p the rest of the story is up for u to guess! hehee

Oh man.. played a bit of badminton today....
and I... was either really slow or was really sucky....
I swung and missed the birdie completely like 3 times...
and I served into the net 3 times in a row, then I kept hitting the birdie out...
hahaha didn't play badminton for too long!? /_\ it's only been.. a week and 3 days...

Saw a car with the license plate CJM.....
hmmm...?? hahha even the car agrees with me! heehe.. =p

Things to do:
-Christmas cards
-team dinner thursday night
-secret santa present and other presents

Good academic results contributes to a good foundation for a successful future..
successful, but not necessarily happy.....
We all want happy futures though, right?
i'd say that u'd agree with me if I said happiness is subjective to every individual, and that it is based on much more things than being successful
so a happy future doesn't necessarily require foundation building....
therefore... good academic results mean nothing...
so I conclude.. that we don't need good academic results. =p
so who cares about finals?
hah.........
twisted proofs!!! Gonna lead to my failure of 220....

it's my turn to cram. =p
I'd say "I understand the materials" only if understanding the materials doesn't include being able to solve the problems. =(
I hate this course cuz it makes me THINK........
that's somethin I dun do enough of.........><
Oh yea.. I'll only need to pass the final to pass the course..
but I want more than a pass..........
And to get 70% final grade... I'll need a freakin 88% in the final (due to my poorly written midterm)...
-_-;;............
crossing my fingers for major scaling!!! (and I haven't even done the final yet. haha)

Oh, and a clip of the same series but different song on Bearz' xanga:
Santa Clause is comin... to town!

12.12.2003

4 more days to go!!! >=/
life's been too easy for most (if not all) of us...

12.11.2003

First things first...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!!!

You're 19! =)

This muscle on my right calve kept pulsing today....

Hehe.. taking a break from studyin..
was reading some past emails and came across this:
"The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.The answer by one student was so profound that the professor shared it with his colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question:
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law; (Gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed), or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First we need to know how the mass of hell is changing time.So we need to know the rate that the souls are moving into hell and the rate they are leaving.I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, Lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today.Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.Since there are more than one of these and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added

This gives two possibilities:
1.If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature will drop until hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresaduring my freshman year that... " It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you. " , and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

The student received the only "A" given."
hmm....... =)
Woohoo! Another interview!!! =D
Altho I'd appreciate it if the interviews didn't all come during finals time... -_-;;

Shoot.. I did it again....
I slept till late afternoon.. yet AGAIN! Ahhh.....

Anyways... today was sooo goood... hehee cuz I got to see cj for the whooole day! =D
Physio confirmed and fixed my injuries on my wrist, my back, my patpat, my shoulder and my left ankle.. -_-;;
Unfortunately I seem to have twisted my ankle again during baddy tonite,
cuz it was hurting quite a bit...............
yeaa I saw the physio this morning and I injured myself again tonight...
I'm wasting so much money............... -_-;;

things I learnt @ training:
-crosscourt drop kinda.. and then driving straight
-dropping cross then smashing cross and cutting off
-serving (found out I've been serving illegally alllll along.. -_-;; hahahaha)

Baddy tonight @ C1...
Was quite okay... could've been better if I weren't bothered by my ankle tho. ><
Started off playing half court singles.. against.... Bearz!
And then played against Joseph and Winnie as well..
Then played some doubles against the guys... and then girls doubles..
hmm... not much to say for tonite......

CJPEN!? heheeeee........

12.05.2003

Shoot.. slept for another 11 hours today. -_-;;
somebody help me!! I need to break this sleeping habit!!!

It suddenly occurred to me that no matter how bonded two person may seem....
there might still be a chance of a sudden crack....
It always seemed that DB's relationship would last longer than anyone else's...
but I guess I was wrong... =p
perhaps the crack's been there for a loooong time already.

Annnyways... I really need to start mathing..
or else I won't get anything done.... AGAIN! >< hehehee

OHhhhhH exciting breakout news (for me):
I got another interview!!! With Offshore... =D
on Wednesday, 3 - 3:30 in Science Co-op office... =)
One more chance....

OH yea.. and how can I forget to blog this..
2 dreams i had last nite:
One was like a movie....
Faye and Andy Hui i think!? was in it.. hee funny..
and like... it's about this love story on a tree house...
and I was like.. an elf or somethin....helping them get together.. hehe
it was a good dream... sorta like a movie.. woke up when it ended and it was a happy ending. heheee...
anyways.. the second dream was really freaky..
I dreamt about going out to this place holding an event like a sports day for kids or somethin..
and then.. Kathleen was there.. she was still mad at me....
and like.. all the gates were somehow locked in the back so the we had to walk a loong way b4 we can reach the washrooms...
I didn't know how to get to the washrooms so I had to ask Kathleen.. and then I met Steven from badminton club.. and then both of them took me there...
but then my teeth started falling off.... all of my teeth started to split into two and the top half would fall off............
and it was really freaky watching myself in the mirror with all my teeth splitting and falling off...
and I could taste the crumbs in my mouth.... I didn't dare lick my teeth at all cuz I was afraid they'll break some more....
So I took a long time in the washroom and when I came out, Kath was really mad cuz I took so long........
and then I woke up...................
*shivers*........... I wonder why I always dream of my teeth falling apart... ><
First of all, Happy birthday Brian!!

Went around running errands today..
things I completed:
-give Jenz $
-buy Gamecube
things I attempted but couldn't do:
-Change banking options @ CIBC
-Let Jenn try out Tshirts
-Get reservations on snowboards
... oH man.. and I spent 3 hours out.... only managing to do two things... ><
Such a waste of time... especially driving all the way out to SportsMart and getting lost on the way back... -_-;; damnit!
Oh wellz.. at least I got to walk around with Jenz again.. hang out for a bit... feels so relaxed when I hang out with her. =)
Funny moment: in the car Jenz was feeding me ice-cream cuz I was driving....
me: people must be thinking: they must be lesbians she's feeding the other girl icecream!!
LOL and then Jenz wouldn't feed me anymore.. =( hahahaha... I'm JUST KIDDIN jenz.. lol
Anyhow... Brian's birthday dinner after was quite fun though...
The food there was... okay... the performance was pretty good.. heh
so funny tho, the chef turned the knife when his back was facing the audience... so I think only cj and I got to see it.. =p hehe
I hope Brian likes his present... =) Gamecube... too bad we couldn't get him a game.. Mario Kart looked REALLY fun.. and Simpsons Road Rage too.. hmm.. maybe I should get myself a Gamecube.. =p heheee..j/k
After dinner a couple of us went to Cheesecake Etc...
I don't quite remember wat happened there except for the sticky table.. -_-;; it was irritating me.
OH and the bill that says "tip is not included for table of 8"... hmm.. wat's that supposed to mean? hehee...
ahh.. memories flooding back... I remember trying to burn sugar but getting stopped by cj...
and Kyole and Windelen was talkin abt something nasty but I never got wat it was.. haha..
It's alll gooood.. hehee hangouts, dinners, talks and such........
but the maincourse of the whole night was definitely the BEEF.. heee... ;)

I've always spelt argument with an E...
as in.. ARGUEMENT.............
didn't realize I was wrong until recently... hmmm.....
it's ARGUMENT................. weird............

Change of plans...

which... isn't very reliable... at all... =p

Oh.. and congrats to Darryl...
for finding the love of his life and vowing to spend his life with her.
Love's a great thing don't u think? =D

12.03.2003

which is why I need to work now.... to balance it out. =D

Thanks Jenz and Shao and Ann and Win.. who else chipped in!?? Can't remember...
tks for the present.. =p hehee..
the sweater reminds me of Jennifer.... for some reason. hehhh......

Can't seem to wake up anymore....
went from sleeping 7 hours -> 11 hours each day... -_-;;
really should stop wasting precious time....

Things to be done today:
-Finish all Math assignment since 2nd midterm
-Understand GRADIENT....

12.02.2003

Should provocation be a crime?
If you provoked someone to beat you up... shouldn't u share the blame too?

12.01.2003

Training today.. the usual fun-filled hour...
did:
-drops and crosscourt drives
-return serves
-attacking from the back
-net crosses
-net kills backhand then forehand, forehand then overhead
-a singles game against Winnie after training... lost 9-11, 11-12
killed:
-shoulder
-wrist
-left ass
-left ankle
sooo injury-prone... -_-;;
Why, the next thing I know every muscle in my body will start to cramp. *I better not jinx myself*

Had a nice chat with Windelen @ Mcdonalds after...
mMm.. fries + Oreo McFlurry.. =d so good...
lemme think.. our conversation was 50% badminton 50% relationships.
hehee... starts endless discussions....
cuz b4 we finish talkin abt one thing.. we'd already be trailing off on another topic. lol..
Hmm... another question for you to think about:
Are u the type that likes to finish talkin abt things one topic at a time,
or do u always the one who trails off to something totally unrelated during a conversation?

ah...... I don't like rain..........
I care too much abt the rain outside even when I'm indoor.......
It's not like I'm gonna get wet.... anyway... heh

Movies/Videos/DVDs to watch during Winter Break:
-MONTY PYTHON (omg I've borrowed it for a year)
-Finding Nemo
-Matrix, Matrix reloaded & Matrix revolutions
-Kill Bill
-Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
-Shanghai Knights (yes, it's been a while...ever wonder if they'll have a sequel called "Shanghai Mourn"? heheee)
-Mong bat liu
-Mo garn dou 2 & 3.. Infernal Affairs.. is it?
-Turn left, turn right
-Yan yiu da pai kao 2... gotta borrow from Windelen! heh.. loved the first one!
wat else? Add more to the list when I remember..

Ooo.. didn't know Jenn Wong was Canadian National Junior Triple Crown champ in 1997.....
no wonder she has an attitude..................

This is a really cute page... abt hugging! =)
HUGZ to ya!
Happy 3 months! =)
I'm reverting back to rjp..... nooooo...
good thing I still have ONE DAY jek! hehee...

Just got home from VRC baddying.. =)
Played for 3 hours straight till 2AM.. sooo nice..
I played all doubles and singles today tho.. no mixed..
Good stuff.. except I hurt my wrist again and my shoulder's still sore.. -_-;;
Anyways... I learnt quite a bit playing singles today. hehee...
The main thing is when I do drops.. I can't jump.. otherwise if I do a little hop then I lose the timing and can't drop at all...
Anyhow... against Braz I won 1 and lost 1... against Mark I won 1 and lost 1 as well... =)
Duno if they were playing seriously.. OH wellz! I got to learn... so doesn't matter. hehe
Singles is quite fun... only when there's nobody watching though. hehee...
And then out to Denny's afterwards... such a rip off!!
and now me tired.. me shower... me sleep.. zzZzz

11.30.2003

grr.... pissed off at my bro.
He just doesn't seem to remember that the computer is not HIS computer.

oOoo OOo...
did this for fun:
What will your Funeral be like? by rashock
Username
You will die by:You died of natural causes. How sweet. Your funeral is an adverage open casket.
Death Date:July 11, 2071
Number attending your funeral?161
How much will you leave to friends and family?$4,620,001
Created with quill18's MemeGen!

quite satisfying results tho.. I live till 87 and die of natural cause! =)
Maybe I should start counting who will be the 161 who'll attend my funeral.. hek hek hek

Ooo.. so true:
被忘記的人很可憐
可是被記住的人未必有快樂 ...
So is it better to be forgotten or remembered? hmmm....
I guess they're really two different matters.
It's always better to be remembered... and that's that...
whether u are happy or not is a totally different matter... right?
Had sooo much sleep today.... a bit too much..
but there really is no point in waking up early since there's nothing to do anyways.
I ended up baking cookies after I woke up....
almond chocolate chippers.... turned out okay but I didn't really like the taste of the dough...
Oh wellz! Almond and chocolate's always the best combo. =)
Then out to Banana Leaf for dinner! mmMm.. Roti..Satay, and Mussels....
and then.. C1 badminton!!! hehe so fun..
played allll mixed games today......... hmm shoulda played some doubles too...
Like Brian said yesterday... we get to learn more playing doubles...
my most excited moment of the ngiht was when I did a successful crosscourt net!!! WOOHOO!! haha... so nice... happens like once in a blue moon... at that moment I was feelin SUPER excited..... hehee... my first ever successful (intended) crosscourt net.. =D need to thank Darryl. hahaha
heheee anyhow... still too impatient, me.. trying to kill when I shouldn't... and my serves.. -_-;; horriblly low probability of successful serves... and wat else... slow reaction when I get flicked... ugly net shots... poor upper body defense... ><
tooo many things I need to improve on...
However, I got to try out some different things today... different return serves... and I was trying not to use my arm (but failed)... netshots... smashing down the sides (instead of middle)... still tryin to read the play...
yea... good stuff! hehee... improving my mental play....
Funniest moment of the night was when I cut off this shot in the front running sideways like a crab.. -_-;; hahahaa
(Jenz: reminds u of CRABMAN doesn't it... Jenson!?.. LOL)
Ohhh remarkable moment was when Bearz got hit.... >< hope it doesn't bruise!!
So many "moments of the night".... =) A good entertaining night of badminton...

Sooo stupid...
why do i do things even tho I knew I'd be ticked off afterwards.
it's always the curiosity..... makes me do stupid things. -_-;;
I don't think I'll ever learn......

11.29.2003

Something I forgot to blog about...
I met Warren today in SUB cuz he was teaching some dance class for this taiwanese club...
the last time I saw him was... 2,3 years ago?
and he finally recognized me today... haha.....
It sucks how someone who used to be such a close friend feels so distant now...
"mun hao" for a few sentence and then end of conversation.....
hmmm.... 6 years drains out so much friendship..........

And then.. I saw Jason Pan @ Cambie today....
surprised? haha I haven't seen him for so long.....
those good old PG days........ and sunday morning Kerrisdale baddy!!
What happened to it?? I think we all couldn't wake up... (or maybe it was just me)
Yeaa... good old times.. hahaha
somehow I'm feelin especially nostalgic tonight.. heh...

Shoot.. I don't know if it was the nai char this morning, or was it just cuz I have no endurance at all, but my heart was beating very irregularly after playing @ C1... -_-;;
When I was at Cambie, at some instances I would be so short for breath I'd need to take deep breaths...
so weird.. but it returned to normal after eating @ Golden Award....
so I blame it on the Dung nai char!!! that stupid drink.. haha

And baddy tonite @ C1....
it was quite fun.. played some mixed and some doubles...
One doubles game w/ Bearz against Windelen and Bondelen was so fun..ny...
haha.. I couldn't stop laughing cuz of this funny expression that Bearz made....
and then the mixed game with Mark against Peterman and Bonnie was quite fun too..
Peterman gave me a few pointers... ie.. SOFT serves... block more.. and... work for the kill...
Thanks Mark for inviting him.. =)
And after some vain effort of trying to use my wrist today... I think I overworked my shoulder again.. -_-;;
Oh wellz.... time for some phsio exercises again.

11.28.2003

Had a nice chat with Jenny and Rosemary last nite...
I am glad I don't go to SFU... cuz apparently, ppl in SFU are really competitive, and people wouldn't teach you stuff even if their your friends.... I mean.. wat kinda friends are those.. they probably don't even consider you as a "friend" then.
Feel so lucky that so far most people I've met in UBC are reeeally nice ppl.. =) All the baddy peeps, Tracy, Justine, Gillian, Regina, Jack, Kelly, Ken, Alan, Jason, Fiona.... etc.. I'd ask my cpsc friends to look over my code to help me find a bug and they'd do it... =D
The only exception was when I asked this guy beside me cuz none of my friends were around and he was just "fu-hin"-ing me.. >=p! Don't expect me to help him back in the future. pshh...
I feel sooo fortunate... compared to Rosemary... really shouldn't complain abt anything cuz I have soo many loving friends around me. =)
Anyways... Jenny said somethin interesting that corresponds to what Melody said a while ago too. haha... made me think.. hmmm... Mel.. don't mind me quoting u here..
"愛人的 永遠是犯賤的
被愛的 遲早會開始耍賤..."
Not necessarily true though.... right?
cuz I don't wanna be 犯賤 or 耍賤.....heh.. i hope u don't either.. =p

Had a really realistic dream last night.... it was quite scary...
So it goes...
China gathered a team of researchers to do some studies on some secret thing (I don't remember wat it was), and I was in the team with a few other people...to prevent them from leaking information to other countries, they made some of the members take some kinda medicine (duno why some of us didn't have to take it... ). The thing is, the newly invented medicine has no antidote... and they don't know if there'll be any side effects at all, or if it'll turn into an epidemic. So our team lives together in this research place... and a member started to get weaker cuz of the medicine and is about to die... we've already become friends then... but we not only could we not do anything to help him... all of us were afraid of catching the disease as well. Anyhow.. a few of us still stayed with him and treated him as friends... but I'm sure inside.. we were all scared... and then something happened.... I can't remember wat, but the guy died.... and I woke up remembering myself still being scared of catching the disease even after he died... in the dream some member said somethin like.. "we'll have to wait at least 6 months b4 we know if anything will happen to us..."....
*shivers*... it was so real... I remember how the guy looked but I don't recall meeting him in real life at all....
Such a tough situation.... if you were me would you still be friends with the guy?
I felt the need to be loyal to a friend but then at the same time I was feelin really scared and guilty that I'm feelin scared as well..... and I was also feelin very "sum hon"... of how the inhumane the government can get... /_damnit.. I don't like having these dreams.... they make me feel too much...

Shoot.. I slept too long today... I feel tired just rotating my eyeball... haha
I only had 9 hours sleep actually... sucks!
Now I'm so accustomed to sleeping 7 hours.. -_-;;
should be I good thing, I suppose....
Rained so hard today... hehee but I knew it was gonna happen cuz I checked the precipitation forecast to prepare for my geog lab exam!! muhaha..
now not only am I a cpsc geek, I think I'm turning into a geog one as well.. -_-;;
As usual... no umbrella... just me & my waterproof jacket. =)
Since my jacket is waterproof, it keeps my body and hair dry...
even if you bring an umbrella, your pants and shoes are gonna get wet anyway....
so the only advantage an umbrella has is that you can keep you face dry...
But then you can always just wipe the rain off your face with a tissue easily...
so in conclusion... there is no need for an umbrella... =D hehe
Hmmm... question for myself to ponder: since when did I stop using umbrellas? hmm..

11.27.2003

Yeeeha!
I'm finally free of duties..
actually not quite so cuz I still need to touch up on my 220 assignment and copy geog notes..
but otherwise, everything's done and settled!
Had a long chat with cj last nite....
talked a bit about death..... haha do you tend to say "I'm ALREADY 20.." or "I'm ONLY 20!" ?
probably differs in different occasions but really... life's too short to worry abt dying. =)
Anyways... further back yesterday...
I was stuck in N. Van traffic jam for 2 hours...
so jammed up that it took me like at least 30 minutes to pass through ONE intersection...
turns out there was some kinda accident on #1 so everyone crowded to this route..
hmm... I won't complain about Vancouver traffic anymore.... =p
The only good thing was.. I got to drive a VW Golf as courtesy car..
It felt pretty good.. actually the Golf felt even smoother than my beetle..
hmm.. pretty good car. =)
Missed 1/3 of the MS.NET seminar... most importantly I missed the pizza session... ><
haha... anyways.. it was quite interesting.....
Longhorn.. WinFX... and all these other new stuff coming out....
The seminar was quite worth attending. hee...
Now fastforward a bit...
Gonna go to Oakridge to meet up with Jenny Law and Rosemary..
haven't seen them in ages... =D it'd be nice to do some catchin up.....
ciao!

11.26.2003

Lalalala...
I tell u not to tun pork but wat am I doing now?
lalalala....
should really be reviewing geog stuff....
duno anything I need to know for lab exam tomorrow. Hah.......

BUT anyways...
doesn't matter la...
I skipped another 220 class this morning..
really shouldn't have skipped, but OH wellz...
Might be worth it, if I do well in my 216 project...
since I am aiming for an A (or A-) for 216....... i think I need the marks..
Actually.. I'll need to do well on my final.. hmm...........
Anyhow.. 220 I'm just aiming to pass.. so..
skipping 2 classes in a row might be legitimate if I say I'm sacrificing 220 for 216? hehee...
Here I go with my excuses again.. hai... hehe
I tun porked today and watched TV...
watched Lit for hung sum Finale.... it.... was kinda stupid...
why make Wong Hei die for no reason!??? His death was soo pointless..
I think they're just trying to make the audience cry........
The rest was okay I guess... given that I missed like 90% of the episodes.. haha
Juet Sai ho ba was still good tho.. hehee still love Chan Ho's character!!!
And I also like the 3rd and 4th sister.. =)
ahh.. okay... better not get addicted to TV again right b4 the finals.. hehee
My right calve (right.. pronounced CAA-VE.. not CAL-VE) wouldn't stop hurting today..
I suspect it's the weather..... too cold.. making my muscles tense up and cramp...
err... oh well.. it'll go away tomorrow.. hopefully. ;)
Oh yea.. got my math midterm back today (the one that doesn't count)...
and Limic was like "You guys did really well on it, even though it doesn't count.."
duno if she's lor ging or jung hing. hahaha... cuz we did poorly in the one that counts, and now that we did well, it doesn't count. hahaha
turns out I only got around 70% tho.. haha after discussing with Wilson and Gillian too.. hmm.. -_-;; hahahaa so yea..
now it's either 50% MT 50% final, or 100% final...
MUST do well on final!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *eyebrows burning with determination*

I realized I work much more efficiently when I have a plan for the week..
so here it is.. my plan for the rest of the week:

Wednesday:
-9:30 drive car to service
-12:00 Hopefully be back to UBC by 12 and study a bit for geog
-2:00 Geog lab exam
-3:00 220 tutorial.. really should go since I skipped 2 classes..
-5:30 Be @ downtown Microsoft seminar
Address: Sheraton Wall Centre [1088 Burrard Street]
-10:00 Be home and relax =p

Thursday:
-start on 220 assignment, catch up on notes

Friday:

This week's gonna be my relaxing week...
next week's gonna be study week.. and then final week! ><

11.24.2003

It's hard to say how much progress I've made on a cpsc project,
cuz even if I'm done implementing all the code,
I wouldn't know if I had to spend the whole day debugging it....
Man.... I'm feelin so tired and sleepy right now...
Feel like giving up and going to sleep...

I got wat was promised today... hehee cjp!
So yea.. my day's been great.. =D
can't get any better...
even tho I DID get lost driving from Burnaby to Richmond so I ended up driving all the way back to Burnaby and had to go to Richmond again.. -_-;; haha
It's alrite.... no big deal.... compared to wat I got today this is nothing.. =)
Ooo.. and I had King Crab for dinner.. mMm.. heh humungous crab..
1 crab made into 4 dishes.. mMmm..... yum yum........
*brain power running low*

11.22.2003

Physio was quite painful today..
cuz Kelvin fixed my spine... it's crooked..
oh shoot.. I'm sitting sideways again.. really shouldn't sit in this posture anymore..
Now my pat pat and my right back hurts...

Training was lots of fun.. as usual =)
Stuff I learnt/did today:
-defense drill.. blocking crosscourt.. hmm
-being alert for drives
-Jumping and killing at the net
-soft kills at the net
-Forehand crosscourt driving
ZERO DEGREES.......

well the weather outside is frightful..
but the fire is so delightful..
and since we've no place to go..
let it snow let it snow let it snow!!
=D hehe I love that song... snow!! snow!!

my sut bai moment of the day: HORRIBLE parallel parking.. -_-;;

Badminton was pretty good...
played so much mixed... was trying out net shots today...
tried a backhand crosscourt and it ALMOST went over!!!
hee.. next time.. next time it shall go over.. =D
And then during the game against KT and Connie I kept trying to spin the birdie..
and I tried a forehand crossnet too but that went waaay out.. ><
Net shots... hmmm they're actually fun.. if u have the skill.. which I don't.. yet... =p heh
Anyways... I thought the toughest mixed game was against KSo and Bearz...
cuz KSo kept doing this fake net shot in the front and I can't get to it.. ><
and KT's too nice he never smashes at me... hehe
Doubles games were okay... not very intense but still fun...
Shoot... overworked my shoulder again but I only played 4 mixed and 2 doubles? -_-;;

============
Hmm.. forgot to publish my entry from last night..

11.21.2003

Eh... I started the 220 assignment and I was like
1st question.......... ?_? skip...
2nd question............... ah......... skip
3rd question......... uh..............
.... 5th question... YES I know part a.... part b.... skip...
maybe I should just give up.....................
Damn it.... I never knew cpsc can be this hard... ><

You kno how when u sneeze too much you start getting dizzy everytime after you sneeze...
ahh.... @_@ feels like all the blood's rushed up to my brain.....
I conclude that sore throat & running nose are EQUALLY ANNOYING......
Oh yes... and I've heard of many many methods to cure bei suck...
here are a few:
1) Put warm towel around nose
-> yes it does work when you're putting the towel on ur nose...
but I'm not gonna walk around campus with a towel on my nose......-_-;;
2) Dissolve wasabi in hot water and drink
-> hmm? hahaha dun have the guts to try... u try and tell me!
so if u have a solution that's tried and works... tell me!!!! please!!

11.20.2003

Brrr.... sooo ... cold....
in continuation to yesterday's topic...
today was another sunny yet chilly day....
I thought it'd be close to 0 degrees but it turned out to be around 5....
Shoot.... am I just extra sensitive to coldness cuz I'm sick or wat?

I skipped 220 this morning... so I have more jing sun for math midterm....
but then now I sorta regret... cuz 220 is one of those courses that I don't get..
and my math midterm in the afternoon was cancelled... -_-;; haha
in a way that's good... look at it as a way to push me to study for my final in advance... =)
I must be SUPER lucky this week...
-216 lab is SUPER easy
-Geog lab exam isn't until next wednesday
-216 project isn't due until next monday
-math midterm is cancelled...
-and most importantly I got an extra day of PEI.. hehee
So I went from having to cram in 4 things on friday.. down to.. one!! =)
(damn 220 assignment... grrr.... )

Ng.... I can't pronounce that syllable properly anymore
cuz my bei is SUCK JOR! -_-;;
stupid cold...
yee? now that I have no more sore throat that means I can have ICECREAM??
Icecream and mong gwor gorn and all sorts of junk food again....
right? heheee...

Final 216 lab and project this week, final coop workshop, and final midterm..
next week I'll only have 220 assignment (damn it) and geog lab exams left... =D
That means... class starts at 2 on mon, wed, fri... Puhahaha.....
and school ends on 28th... =)
9 days to study for 216 and math (prob 3+5)
then 4 days to study for 220 and geog (prob 3 + 2)
so total of 13 days of studying... =) should be sufficient...
then on the 17th it will be heaven once again. =D
aww.. no cjp tho... /_\

Totally addicted..... >=D

11.17.2003

Monday... haha marks the start of a crazy week....
It's also the start of my sore throat... -_-;;
I hate sore throats..... but I'm dai sei cuz I ate a lot of yit hei stuff the past few days... ><
Getting sick at a bad time... ><..
at least it's not during finals..

Passed the logic test today..
but didn't do very well in the personality test thing..
cuz it's not completely personality! haha so evil..
they have like.. sequence and logic questions b4 too.. -_-;;
and I didn't do so well in the "working with letters" one..
especially sequence of letters in the alphabet (i still have to sing the song to remember to sequence) and rearranging letters to form a word thing... soo freakin hard... ><
haha ohh wellz.. it's alrite.. I don't really mind if I fail cuz I'm not sure if I wanna drive all the way to and pay for parking then drive all the way back and end up not getting the job. =p

ooo... the best way to soothe a sore throat is to..
have ICECREAM!!! hehee..
it's cold enuf to numb the pain and on top of that, it tastes GREAT. =D haha

Anyhow.. PG game today against DT! heh....
Some of them did pretty well I thought.. hehee
especially remarkable was... Priscilla playing singles (yes, she's got the brains... lol) and Karen and Steph playing doubles... =)
I'm sure if they keep training we'd build a very strong team!!! yahh!!
So team dinner this Sat 7:30 @ Whitespot... hmmm... =)

Now back to mathing...
if I'm done early I should finish 216 lab....
and also take a look @ geog labs... hmmm... bah..

11.16.2003

Mathing like crazy yesterday (wasn't TOO crazy actually.. hmmm haha) was all worth it.... cuz I had such a wonderful day today. hehe..
"Wonderful" reminds me of that Car city commercial with the ah bark removing his mask saying "oohh! Wonderful!" *thumbs up*. hahah... funny.. =p
anyhow... wat would I say abt today? hmm.. 2 words.. "so jeng"...
and 2 more words.. "not enuf!" hahahaha... I am so greedy....
never enuf time spent with cj.... =p

On the way home from dinner,
my bro and I saw this lady driving this car tryin to pull over in btwn two cars on the road...
And the parking space was SO huge it could fit like 2 cars...
but she drove sooo close to the car behind and then we saw her car HIT the other car...
her car bounced off.. then it hit AGAIN... and then it bounced off and it hit ONE MORE TIME...
my bro and I were like.... ".......... err........." laughed our heads off....
omg... hitting once is not enuf and she just HAD to hit 3 consecutive times...
*sigh*.. the government should enforce laws on THOSE unsafe drivers instead of just aiming at teens...

oooo.. cj's dad got him Yonex badminton shirts!!!
hahaha now u can compete against Alex in badminton fashion modeling! LOL.....

You're so damn perfect..... =)

11.15.2003

Need to apply for commerce minor when I am eligible for 3rd year standing....
when is that? err... if I work next term then I suppose I don't apply till December next year?
Well anywho... I need minimum 68% but that doesn't guarantee admission...
bleh... if I can't minor in comm then i'll do one in jap. =D heheee....

mathing.. mathing.. more mathing
Need to get at least 2 sections done!!! Today!! yahh super math mode.

Suddenly remembered Lit for hung sum's
"Night of fai-yah, chong jo mo sou ging hei, blah blah blah chung tin fei!"
haha and Wong Hei's para para dance... soooo funny.. ;)

Yet another CS joke:
"There are 10 types of ppl in this world..
those that can count in binary.. and those that can't"

sang so much today in the shower...
ahhhh~ felt so good. heheh =p
I'd say I was feelin very moody today....
went from extremely hyper to depressed which finally phased out into a very flat mood.
It was so weird.. cuz when Jason, James and Mark started joking around the water fountain I just wanted to be left alone..
And then for a while I would smile for a bit then immediately go back to expressionless...
I was switching moods for no apparent reason too.... hmmm....
got better during siu yeh....
Oh wellz... appreciate cj pui-ing me for a bit after siuyeh today =)

Badminton was okay....
Played a lot of mixed again....with Jason against Mark and Bonnie...
Jason's pushes to the corners are so good... but neither of us could serve properly.. -_-;;
I tried out a crosscourt net.. and it worked! muhaha..... backhand cross too. hehee
and then played a game of doubles with James against Stevie and this other guy...
hah it was okay..... had some good rallies but we were bei yun gum juu lei da...
And then mixed with cj against Mark and bonnie... that was fun...
me trying to do more netshots instead of pushes...and trying to read Mark's shots..
but killed my wrist when I was doing a backhand kill.. ><
And then finally played a game of doubles with cj against K.So and James...
it.. was okay... it felt different............ perhaps it's just me...
I've been playing too mcuh mixed that now when I play doubles against the guys, I just have this feelin that they're "yeung"ing me. I'm feelin incompetent, and sometimes I just automatically play mixed style... aiy.. just so weird.
Anyhow.. it was still good... badminton's allllways good. =)
BADDIHOLICS RULEZ...! hehee

I woke up with my kneecap feelin out of place this morning... -_-;;
it hurts whenever I keep my feet stable and turn my knee counterclockwise.
Sucks... so in addition to my shoudler problem, I now also have a knee and wrist problem.
*sigh*... Kelvin's sooo gonna yell at me next week..............
I'm wasting so much money seeing the physio.. ><

Whoa when Mel called today and pretended to cry I actually fell for it...
haha dam u Mel!! Made me feel sooooo guilty!!!!!!!!
I can come out Sat/Sun nights but friday nights are always badminton nights.....=p

yee? I think I'm worrying abt useless things again.....
always wasting time doing pointless worrying..... =p
but then it's always good to confront your thoughts..... I think.......
Should spend energy doing some constructive mathing instead!!! *noooooo...*

Moment of desire......

My interview today was terrible....
I think I couldn't answer at least 50% of the technical questions...
like.. how would I know "the difference between Ethernet and TokenRing"??
I remember reading about it... but.. I never memorized them.. -_-;;
and "list 3 things that Windows 2000 is better than the previous versions"
I was like.. "err........ I... have no idea...."
Q: Tell me how TCP/IP works
me: *said some really general stuff abt TCP/IP*
Q: so how does the IP address gets sent to other computers?
me: ........................ I'm not sure................
So yea....... I think that was a really really bad interview....
AHHhh.. >< should MEMORIZE all the networking terms next time b4 I go to an interview. -_-;;

Have u ever fallen asleep in ur car and then wake up, open the door and ur car alarm rings???
Whyyy.. why does that happen, and how do u prevent it from happening????

11.14.2003

hmm... after that sudden anxiety attack yesterday I'm still feelin a bit iffy today...
so decided to stay home to do stuff until my interview... heh...
And wat did I end up accomplishing?
-Calling up Royal Bank Agnes and got her to be my reference =D
-Print a screwed up List of reference cuz of my screwed up printer
-Blog
planning to:
-Grab my math notes from my bro and review counting stuff... ( I know how to count... -_-;;)
-Finish 220 hw and call Justine to compare answers with her
-Do some math........ hah........... that's funny cuz my math textbook is in my car and I kno I'm gonna be too lazy to go get it....
-Iron a shirt so I look nice for interview
time left: Exactly 1 hour.... let's see how productive I am....

220: "It's easy to count if u kno wat ur counting"

So I'm competing with David on the job eh.... heh.....
tough competition!!! But good luck to both of us bah.....
would be cool if both of us get the job (they're hiring 2 students) =)
Why is it that this world is all about competing with others...
cuz mo ging jung, mo jun bou ma?
What if I don't want to jun bou? hahaha..... such a lazy ass.

=p Kyole.. it's a dream to dream
but it's better to have dreamt than never dreamt at all....
haha was reading Mel's blog and turned out she wrote on some similar topics as me. =p
"Would u choose to be ignorant, but shielded from pain?" is wat she wrote...
hmm.. and the girly thing.. yea.. I prefer jeans over dresses too.. hmmm
and the twins laughing thing......... HA... sounds like Cowz and Kyole.. heh...
and the thing is.. I wrote my entry b4 I read hers... hmmmm.................
Great minds think alike! hahahaha =p j/k....
Sometimes I feel like a freak spying on ppl's life cuz I have this habit of clicking onto my friend's xanga/blog and then reading their friends' xangas as well. haha....... hmm
Sometimes I see someone I know but don't know in person.. and I'd be curious to kno wat they're thinking and xangas provide me with just that.. haha
only problem is sometimes I come across stuff that I don't wanna read... *cough*not even close*cough*...
would u rather u never read somethin u dun wanna read... or read it but be challenged by the consequences to face the truth?
----just some random thoughts

Watching the Cap tourney tape was so good yet so dizzifying...
stared at the TV for like 3.5 hours... hhaha @_@
concentrated sooo hard on that game against Ashley and Charmaigne to count the scores..
and I found out that... we DID have 14!!! grr... we were tricked!! dum dum dummm... hehe
and we also missed a second serve... *sigh*... hahaa
I should really work on remembering the scores and the serves....
affects the outcome of a match....
okie... enough about that...
I am somewhat brought to awareness of my 8G feet and semi-hunch.....
should try to correct those.... maybe....
Want to learn Aki's crosscourt drives... all wrist.. wow... hehee
She like.. anticipated 80% of our shots..... so ging.. or maybe I'm just jar. -_-;;
OH wellz! Must train up! hehee

a pun in a pun.....hekhek
rose to a new level in pun-ish-ing. hahahahaa

Suffered through the last 20 mins of my math 200 lecture today...
cuz by the end of the lecture I was SUPER in need to go to the washroom and in pain at the same time.. -_-;;
it's like one of the worst feelin.. to be "gup" to go to the washroom...
but Limic just kept going.. and going.. and going...
omg... only 4 minutes left and she began a NEW example from her MEMORY....
just wouldn't let us relax until the bell goes.......><

Everytime when it gets to this time of the month I'm gonna start complaining...
how come it's so unfair that only girls have to suffer thru this but guys don't!????
gaahhhh........... need to endure this pain every month until I have a baby....

As long as I live up to my own expectations....
should I take into account others' too?
Dui duck juu jee gei.. gum sai ng sai lei yun dei dim lum?
I dun wanna let anyone down....
but life's gonna be so tough if all u do is try to live up to other's expectations......
hmmm OH wellz... worry about that later. =p

omg.. I can't believe I'm feelin this way.... ahh....
just like wat Bearz wrote...
I dun think anyone will want to lose any thing/people in their life...
but the thought does get overwhelmingly realistic sometimes.....
and the way to kill it? Suggestions, anyone?
It'd be great if a good night's sleep will wear it off..............
How do I find the phase btwn overworrying and escaping the truth?
I am so full of questions tonight, I know....
stop thinking!! gets me nowhere... *sigh*

Talkin abt bein cho low today on the phone with cj...
I'll try not to be cho low...... =0
I remember I started behaving less girly after getting sick of someone's over-girly-ness in grade 9... *shivers*....
The two bestfriends I had were so extreme....
one so girly the other so guyish........ so I was like the median. =p
turns out the girly one went out with many guys hereafter, and the guyish one went out with girls.....
and me...... hmmm........ unsurprisingly, I'm goin out...
with a cow. =p hahaha..... cow jai!

Bleh!! Ng lei ar!! I want cjp!!!! heheee

11.12.2003

working around the edges

More update.. about yesterday.. hehee
So yea.. received my second trophy of my life for second in girls doubles...
Need to work on adding to my display!! heheee...
but that's gonna be hard... if I don't wanna join tournaments with plastic birdies.. -_-;;
I think the amount I pay to see the physio is enough for me to buy myself a lot of trophies. haha..
so conclusion.. probably not worthy to bust my arm for a plastic birdie tourney.
Anyways... back to yesterday... good games everyone! Altho I'm sure we would've all done better if we played with feather birdies right? =)
random thoughts involving the tourney...
-Ali is so maao.... changing from feather to plastic birdie in second set?? err.... the mao-est player I've ever seen.
-pshh Jeffrey was laughing when he said we lost to Eric but he lost to Eric himself too la... =p haha
-Eric's partner was so lorng.. even tho she looked so weak and see mun she was so lorng at the net...
-I have to stop being afraid of playing netshots
-apologies to cow jai for playing so poorly in mixed.... ><
-I had such a gooood temper throughout the whoole day.. hehee.. even tho I was losing or made stupid shots I was still okay with it...... but I duno.. good temper + being lorng kinda clashes.. haha seems like they cancel each other out quite well... so I was like.. alternating btwn the two. hehe.. the maddest I got was when I missed a net kill and said "shit!" but that was the only single time...
-Brought a camera but forgot to charge it..... how stupid.. -_-;;
-Had the urge to play some singles... but then was too tired to try. =p

Went to get have Samurai sushi @ Windelen's after... hehee
Kyole and I were on a burning streak yesterday.. haha duno why all of a sudden became mean...
Sushi was good tho.. ice cream even better and chatting was the best... hehee
I don't recall much of wat we talked abt...
except the idea that a daughter will be pretty if she looks like her dad and a son will be handsome if he looks like his mom... haha then it makes sense to say that whether the daughter is pretty or not totally depends on her dad... and her dad's mom (grandma), her dad's mom's dad (great grandpa), her great great grandma.. great great great grandpa.. and so on.... so... tough luck if ur ancestors are not handsome/pretty... hahaha
didn't know Albert was in Churchill team.. hehee funny....
Winnie complained abt not playing enuf doubles with the guys... haha I agree with her but just never spoke up. =p
sucks that everyone's been to the provincials but me... =(
Was really exhausted by the end of the day yesterday.. probably from waking up early. @_@...

Anyways!! Recap of monday....
It seems like I got 4 days straight of holidays... haha
cuz I only had geography and I decided not to go.. =p
Went to SRC to practice serving and some other stuff instead... hehee
played mixed with cow jai against Wilson and Raymond....
was okay..... I don't really get much mixed practice when I play against 2 guys cuz there's no threat in the front. hmm..
Anyhow... still good.. =)
PG practice after... same old things... they did attack/defense drill for an hour..
I don't know how to make Karen move........ should make her do more footworks when there's a chance.
And I also don't know how to coach Selena... she is apologetic and unconfident about everything sometimes I dun even kno wat to say to her...
Oh wellz!! There're always some really positive ones like Priscilla and Willie. hehee good stuff. =)
After practice... went to dindin @ Sun yung kee hotpot w/ cj, kyole and bearz...
It was really good.. heheee had so much fun talkin abt BALLS and BEARZ.. hehee
and then there was Kyole and his washroom theory..... haha made me wash the faucet when I went to the washroom today. hehee
IT was good food, good fun... =) such a good day...

The past weekend's been like.. the best one ever. =)
So much cj, so much baddy, so much hanging out and so much icecream!! hehee...
that also means so much $ spent... T_T...
need to start on a budget again cuz I overspent last month... by a lot..
tournies: $27
Dinner: ~$100 in total
birdies: $75
Presents: $35
gas: $80
This is already $300+.... that doesn't include my lunch expense everyday.. -_-;;

Finally got Jenny's present!! =)
Sucks that I couldn't find a better one tho... *sigh*
soo costly, everything these days...........wat da.. I'm speaking like Yoda..
gotta have a second dinner with Jenz and them!! =)
Haven't been hanging out with u guys... at all.. -_-;; so sorry..........
everytime u guys call I either have plans or am playing badminton.. ><

In love with Eason's "New Order"...
so jazzy and comfy with interesting lyrics... =)
"mong gei gor chi" is not bad either...
The lyrics are so cool... =D

new found sense of humour....

AIya.. I'm gonna type abt shoulder pain again...
cuz it's the thing that's bothering me right now..........
*sigh* plastic birdies??? *sigh*
need to see Kelvin and he's gonna go
"mui mui jai, YAO jing chun a?"
........... -_-;;
I'm also feeling very sleepy.. @_@..falling asleep on keyboard.. ><
but can't sleep yet.. cuz I need to shower.. and can't shower till laundry is done...
cuz I tend to procrastinate my laundry until it's no longer procrastinatable. haha is there such word...
me making up so many words these days.. hehe.. like "dook-er and dook-ee"? heheee..

Anyways.. club tourney today... it was quite fun... =)
The only drawback was that plastic birdie overrules feather so we had to use plastic...
and that busted my shoulder again... keep using the wrong force.. ><
Me and Win lost to Malisa and Cynthia... hmm. why did we lose?
I think it was mainly cuz of unforced errors... and I kept missing my backhand... and that I was stubborn and kept dropping it when they drove the birdie to my backhand when I should've cleared it back.
That's alrite.. close game... tried our best... do better next time. =)
And then mixed... aiya... didn't do as well as I wanted to... sorry to disappoint u cow jai.. ><
Played quite poorly the first two games but got a bit better towards the end of the third game and game against Bryan and Lindy...
I kept telling myself "drop it to the net! drop it to the net!" but I still ended up lifting it midcourt... err... -_-;; so sorry cow jai... need more practice!!! Aim to beat Bryan and Lindy.. hee...
Another thing i need to improve on... is to watch the serving lines for doubles... damnit.. I can't tell if a flick's out or not... I've lost the sense. -_-;;
ooki.. I'm getting too sleepy to update... so.. update tomorrow.

11.11.2003

Oh man, i tried using my wrist more today but I think I used the wrong force again..
my elbow is starting to hurt.. -_-;;

Had another super duper good day today...
I think I should start catching up on geog notes from Fiona but.. nah.. geog can wait.
and tourney's tomorrow!! yayy.... MORE badminton...
good stuff! =D

Hope my uncle is okay... hmmm...

someone's blog name is "waiting to exist"...
aw.. so grey....

11.10.2003

I'm feelin extremely happy and so full of love... =D

11.08.2003

Oh no! >0< I left my necklace @ SRC yesterday....
the one with the ring.... -_-;;;
It fell out during my game against Aki and Lee-Anna so I just took it off and left it on the floor..
and of course, I completely forgot about it after.. ><........
OH man... gonna go back and see if it's still there.

Hmmm... Leanna is a pretty name...
Don't like the name "Leanne" but "Leanna" sounds good. =)

heh.. if u wanna get a preview of how cpsc ppl are like....
come to LSK 304 @ around 4-5 on the 21st...
You will be amazed at the things u see. hahaha
(ie... people swearing at the computer... people making really geeky cpsc jokes... people mumbling to themselves in front of the screen.... )
Damn... ICQ wouldn't connect tim.... hmm..

I hate it when I have to call some really close lines.....
like... sometimes I duno if I really saw it or if I believed wat I imagined...
they say trust your first instinct.... but mine's not very reliable either... -_-;;
nooo.. I dun wanna be known as "the girl who calls bad lines", like that Shaolin girl.. =p

Anyways... CSA tourney today sucked....
the tourney itself sucked.... the organization, the games to 11 points, the birdies..
The only good thing abt using plastic birdies is that we can sometimes be entertained by unexpected results... haha
it's like.. how did Kim and David beat Philip and Bryan!? hahaa how did Tyler and Brad beat Jon and Leslie!???
the major thing was in the end we had to play games to 7 (wth..) and they calculated the winners by looking at scores...
hahaha Jenn and Lindy lost by 1 point! haha.. that sucks.... 1 point away from $100 man!! hehe
Mixed game was okay I thought.. hehee played better in the one against Eric than I did against Alex....
everytime I lift a bad shot for Eric to smash I'd go "AIYA STUPID!"
then I played like half a game of singles against Joseph... heh.. finished when they turned off the lights at 7-6...
sucks cuz my bo faat for going to the back right corner is really bad... I always use the lazy step. -_-;;
kinda disappointed at how I'm playing.. -_-;; haha but it's alright...... always lots of room for improvement
I'm starting to lose my temper when I play too.. aiya... it went from feelin very guilty a few years back to feelin very angry.
Neither's good.... not goodat all.... need to control my temper. =)
OHhh.. one more thing.. that fat CSA guy who kept walking on the courts during games!!! grrr.... and he doesn't even notice that everyone's staring at him..... such disrespectfulness.... haha is there such word?
CSA ppl so inchy.. I was asking them "can we move over to the other court cuz that court has fung (wind)"
and then he said in a very inching way "cuz that court has fung....." ........ pshhhh.........
So overall rating for CSA dropped from a 9 -> 5... =p haha wouldn't have passed if it weren't for their huge number of sponsors.

Yee? ICQ connect jor bor..

Jenny's soap smells good... cucumber+melon.. mMmm....

Siu yeh @ NY again... =) good ol' NY.
the chicken udon was pretty good.. no bugs floating in the soup like Lung Yuen.. -_-;;
I think cow jai has a talent in imitating animal voices.. hehee should go be a pui yum person.
Can't remember much of wat we talked abt ... hmmm..

Yesss.. finished part 2 of compression project... 1 more to go...
I just did the file compression and decompression part.. =)
All the smart ppl who finishes early post their compressed file size on WebCT forums..
When I checked my compressed file size.. mine was one bit less than theirs!!
In other words... I am a bit smarter than those smart ppl. Muhahaha...
such a geeky cpsc joke I'm making......... oh man............
need sleep.....

hehee.. feelin kinda happy cuz of this:
"Just wanted to let you know that I called Carolyn Widas at the VIAA today to find out the status of her HelpDesk job. She said that she had some candidates in mind, but wanted to interview a few more candidates just to be sure of her choice. She did speak quite positively of you, and you are still being considered for this job, so I would encourage you to send a thank you note to her...."
=D meaning.. I might get the job!???
Or maybe she sends the same email to all the interviewees.. -_-;; yee...haha
oHh wellz.. better not have too much hopes cuz hei mong yuet dai, sut mong yuet dai.
And speaking of which... is exactly the situation with my 220 assignment...
I actually read the textbook and tried so hard on every single question but I end up with a 45/90... I checked the answer key and they correspond to wat I wrote most of the time.... wat the *beep*............ I'd like to find the TA and skin him alive.... wat does he think he's doing jeopardizing our marks. -_-;;

11.07.2003

feelin kinda...
hmm...
stranded

3:08 AM and I'm here blogging......

need stretching!!!
My right shoulder, left and right dai bei are still sore... ahhh
*stretch* pain *stretch*
Annnyways... after much frustration abt the game yesterday...
I think I'm gonna move on now... and talk abt WHY I lost the game.. =p
yep.. this is bugging me so much.. u bored, u skip this paragraph. =p
Ookies... so.. starting from the beginning........
first of all..... I started to panick a little when I couldn't get to my backhand corner...
and then second.. I think I underestimated Mickey's abilities and got too eager to finish the rally that I lost sight of the whole match...
third of all... they were attacking wat I'm most weak at... backcourt shots.... all I can do are drops and clears but Mickey was standing right in front of the net and Malisa in the back so neither worked very well...
fourth... Malisa and Mickey were working really well together... Jenn and I were sorta out of sync... >< and probably both still sore from Saturday's matches.
fifth.... duno how to react to net shots... cuz me net shots no good....... lift, Malisa smashes... net shot, Mickey kills.. ah.. hmmm......
sixth... Malisa's strong... Jenn smashes, she drives to the other side and force us to lift.......
seventh... I think I got a bit intimidated by Malisa when she started yelling "come on!! POINTS! YES!!"... cuz er.. none of the other opponents I played against yelled b4. haha
Hmmm.. okie... that's abt all I can think of for now.. =) Gotta play them again someday. heh...
Malisa's a good player... =p wanna get to know her. haha is this wat they call sik ying hung jung ying hung!? lol...
Anywho... need some major work on keeping my cool.... that's probably the most important thing that costed me the game.... got too pissed at myself so I played rashly and didn't think.
Yea! That's about it.... hehe
And MORE about the tourney...
Windelen and bearz, Jenn and I sure did a lot of BONDING. lol.. hehee...
high team spirits... cheering for teammates... hehee good stuff....OHh I loved the "silent cheer".. hahaha that was so funny...
Cowz and Kyole beating Morgan and David... that was GOOD! hehee...
Mark doing all these amazing saves in the final mixed match against Cambie.. haha... good job...
Bonnie trying sooo hard in singles... admire her determination!! hehee... if it was me I would probably have given up mentally cuz singles is such a stressful game.....
Windelen and Bearz going into 3rd set with Malisa and Mickey... =) revenged for us a little.. hehee
Consolation prizes are the blue stuff that Malaspino left.... I realized that handing ppl the prize and saying "here's prize for you to hit people with" will get me whacked on the head a lot of times. (by Bearz, Win, Wilson, Jyh and Brian..haha)... heh warn dou din jor.. haven't been so din in a while
Jenn going crazy with the blue thing........ hahaha became VIOLENT!!
Ookay that's abt it...... good stuff...
gotta play in another team tourney is there's a chance!!!!

I didn't know Garfield loved Lasagna!?? hmm.. =p

Saw so many "I'm so shun" dogs today!! heheee.. sooo cute..
Anyways... I skipped geography to play left-handed baddy @ SRC today w/ Kyole, Bearz and Cow jai.. heheee...
fun stuff... my lefthand serve is better than my right hand ones!? hahaha.. so weird..
Cow jai's froggy style return serve is so funny... hit Kyole right on the head too.. LOL...
and Bearz can do amazing crosscourt netshots.. even lefthanded ones! hahaa...
After that.. did some driving drills with cj... dun wanna use my shoulder cuz it's so sore.. -_-;;
cj so crazy.. driving with the cover on the racket.. hahaha..
then PG practice... but I'm getting really tired for no reason, so gonna stop updating right here...
