I got myself a nosebleed for the stupidest reason today... -_-;;
So I was carrying a TV with Cowz out to his lawn today... and we were walking.. walking... all of a sudden I hear a buzzing sound at the back of my head and knowing how much I fear bees, my immediate reaction was to flinch and thereby hitting my nose on the TV I was carrying........ -_-;;
OUCH..................
WORST reason for a nosebleed... ><

Perhaps I should write about my "compulsiveness" my friends have witnessed during hotpot last thursday... hahaha
So we were having hotpot... and here's the conversation:
Ann: I want dessert.. what should we have for dessert afterwards?
me: Doesn't matter for me..
Ann: I want something sweet...
me: icecream!
Ann: Yeah!! Icecream! Where should we go for ice-cream though??
me: hmm.. doesn't matter. Aberdeen!
Them: Oooookay.....
=========
Jenz: Roz' inner self has finally started to come out
Mel: Roz' id is overtaking her superego
>=p

Hotpot + UNO + Texas Holdem was fun... hehe Lemme try to recall all the funny things...
-My "Cardle".... it's a work of art!!! I swear the waitress was secretly laughing at us (or just me) when she took the dish away. heh
-Jim's trace of food leading to his ladle... hahaha...
-Jenn found wood pieces in her wonton!?
-Jim helped everyone win in UNO aside from Jenny.. hahahah
-Ann and her "white friends" heheee such racist! haha
-Yellow = Simpsons, Green = Ninja turtles, Purple = Barnies.. =D hehe
-I was winning by so much!! Until the very last game when everyone went all out... and I lost it all cuz Shao had a straight in the very last card! >< hahaha... "instant replay"
-Jenz and Jim were being commentators.. ahha "your probability of winning is... ZERO!"
Ahh... fun night it was... =)
Haven't updated ever since my summer holiday started last thursday... =D
Let's just say I haven't done much since my finals ended... aside from lots of baddying and spending lots of quality time with cj...
I had my first taste of painting a room today... =) it was quite fun... hahaa I guess first tries are fun... most of the time... hehee
2/5 of my grades are out... booo econ... japn is satisfactory...now there's just cpsc and math left... hmmm...
Looking forward to... spending MORE quality time with cj... MORE baddying... YUMO tourney... road trip...

My legs are quite screwed up... before friday, my left leg's quads + IT band was really tight... so I guess I relied more on my right leg subconsciously... consequently... my right quads + IT band became super stiff after friday.... and after training on saturday... my right calve was sore and my whole right back was extremely tight.... and after my attempt to stretch it out... on sunday, my left calve felt like it was about to cramp up.... hahaha
so now.. I'll see what the chiro says after I see him today....

Here's a late bday cheer... hehe
Happy Belated Birthday, KYOLE!

4.19.2005

One more to go and I'm done for this term...
Before finals I really wanted this term to end asap...
but now that I'm almost there﹐ I want time to slow down...
it's already going too fast... way too fast.
對未來有一種很不安0既感覺...
你能平伏我0既情緒嗎?

This afternoon I was suddenly reminded of Ballball...
2 years ago around this time... he wasn't in the greatest shape really, but he was with us... his health was really deteriorating... we knew we had to let him go soon but none of us would give up until he refused to eat or drink.
Then that day came.... and.... a million words cannot express how painful and heartbreaking it is to send away someone you've loved so dearly for the past 10 years....
每當想起他還是會流淚....
I hope he's living in a better place now...
a place far away from pain and fear...

On a side note...
I'm about to get gypped...
$300 for a Chevy side mirror???

Things to do after finals:
-See chiro asap
-Enter YUMO (deadline: Apr 22nd)
-Deposit Cheques (not valid after Apr 26th/May 30th)
-dinner (Apr 24 temporarily?)
-Renew VRC (Apr 30th)
-Get info on tickets/housing

Happy Birthday, Mark!

I already sense the prevailing doom.... @ 8:30am
*cross my fingers*
I like this song.... =)
"When you smile,
my life becomes a ray of light
sing me a lullaby to sleep at midnight
i'll be hypnotized when looked into your eyes
turn off the room light, let's spend the night

take me to far away,
away to your secret place
take my tears, my fears
take all my pain for which i'll repay someday
with a kiss and say,
"can't believe that i'm in love, in love again"

When the stars don't shine
and when the birds don't fly
and when the flowers cry
and when the rain runs dry
when the violet's red and when the rose turn blue
baby i'll still be in love with you...."
-In Love Again, Janice

Much better than the Leon version of "我這樣愛你"...

4.16.2005

Hmmm.. time for a chinese update. =)

今個 term 極度心散, 成績好似山泥傾瀉0甘大幅度滑落... -_-;;
加上D極度 time consuming 又只係 worth 20% 0既 assignments...
再挨多5日就可以放假!!! I really can''t wait...

中學0個陣, 唔識諗只識感受
一有衝動想做就去做...
比起而家我覺得呢幾年對我0既性格同思想形成有好大影響
以前覺得世事只有0岩同錯
而家基本上我承認有灰色地帶,
不過我好討厭D無結果﹐無對錯0既情況...
雖然對於"對錯",每個人都會有自己0既一套解釋﹐
但係我覺得最起碼,心存惡意或只為自己利益/私念去傷害人0地0既感受一定係錯
就算唔覺意傷害到人, 知道之後唔去改, 都係錯...
因為被人"唔嗲唔吊" 過﹐所以討厭拖拖拉拉0既人
因為被人 hurt 過﹐所以討厭 D 唔理人感受0既人
因為被人睇小過﹐所以討厭 D 自負過高0既人
有時D0野自己聽0左唔開心﹐ 唔會0甘樣同人講
有時人0地做D0野令到我唔開心﹐我唔會對人做反0個樣0野..
有好多時, 只要記住己所不欲,勿施於人﹐ 有好多爭執都可以避免到.
因為用0甘0既態度對人﹐所以亦都期望人地可以0甘對反自己
但係成長0既過程之中難免會遇到D同你思想觀念完全唔同0既人,
佢 convince 唔到我時, 我亦都 convince 唔到佢,
0甘0既時候應該點做 ?
有太多事令我有好深0既感受﹐令我開始討厭好多0野...
感覺唔係一樣可以控制到0既0野﹐但係行動係自己決定.
我0既執著,係你只可以明白但無辦法改變0既一樣0野...

Winz: 怕痛, 即係未到麻木0既地步, as long as you can feel, someday, somehow you will feel the goodness of life.... 好彩你怕痛!

Do you dislike Americans?
Here's a reason to: "we allow them to exist on the same continent.."
there's a lot of dog-sledding in Canada? hahahahaa..........

My 315 story:

April 11th
----------------------------
Hi (to him),

I've just received my mark distribution for assignment 2, and I see that the TA took off
1 marks from design/style/implementation given the reason that I did not free my message buffer,
and
4 marks from execution with the reason "the same message is sent to the remote end multiple times".

I lost marks for not freeing my buffer, and I lost marks for the retransmission of data. However, since not freeing the buffer caused the retransmission, I don't believe I should be penalized twice. It would be great if you could look into it or talk to the TA about it.

Thanks for you attention.

(from me)

April 12th
----------------------------
Hi (to me),

The marking shcheme for the assignment has marks for correct execution and
and correct design/coding. Any incorrect execution is a result of
incorrect coding. Also, if you have a correct design/code there won't be
any execution errors. Therefore, it is the intention of the marking scheme to
take off marks twice and this total is the penalty for the whole error.
Also, tracing the execution error (sending a message twice) to its cause
(not freeing the buffer) is a debugging task and when marking we are not
supposed to debug the code.

(from him)

April 15th (my rebuttal)
-------------------------------
Hi (to him)

Thanks for reviewing my case. I personally feel that the error I have made is only a very minor mistake (and if it matters, the time needed to correct the mistake, compared to the time taken to write the rest of the program is minimal, but I have failed to allocate enough time to do so and I admit that is wrong on my part) and that I should not have a 17% penalty for it. Also, I feel that your system of having marks deducted twice for the same mistake is rather harsh. I am not trying to ask for more marks but I just hope that this will reflect my concern in the marking process of the assignments and I really hope that it can be changed in the future. Thanks for your attention.

(from me)

===========================
Now : Awaiting response...
It's too bad I don't get to fill in TA evaluations anymore...
otherwise, I'd definitely make him retake the TA course.........
Even though the assignment's worth less than 7% of my final grade.. it's not a matter of marks... it's a matter of correctness!
Must... hold my stance... till the end!!!!!!

Quote Jenz:
"I say if u wanna shoot urself, use a shot gun and blow ur head off~~ that way no pain and i dun think there'll be a chance for survivial~~but dun use a hand gun haha...cuz tat'd be so painful~ "

-> Jenz, where'd u find a shotgun? Haha wouldn't a shot gun be too long to shoot yourself with?? You're talking about those long ones.. right? -_-;; how about those small silver cool looking ones in the movies? I think those have more destructive powers than a handgun.....

==========================================

stream of thought:
>>open(tstream)
+A dispute between two people only should stay between two people
+Involving third parties who doesn't know the whole story will only make things worse
+Talking things out one on one is the best way to solve the problem //EOF
>>close(tstream)

study outcomes:
+read 2 pages of econ and fell into 30 minute nap...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, keung gor! hahaa...
Here's a story quoted from Ann:
A man runs into the hospital with towel wrapped all over his head and it was soaking of blood. The person working there went to take a look, and after inspection they found that all of his face below his eyes was missing. Later on, they found out that the man killed his girlfriend, attempted suicide by pointing a gun to his throat, misaimed and shot outwards and ripped half his face out. After doing that he suddenly decided that he wants to live and drove himself to the hospital. After being hospitalized, losing his eyesight and half of his face, he had to spend the rest of his life in jail for the murder he committed.

Hmm.. moral of the story?
we never realize how precious life is until we're given a second chance
OR maybe just...
if you just killed someone, lost half your face and is about to spend the rest of your life in jail... you might as well just shoot yourself again.....

Talking about suicide...
shooting yourself in the brain is actually not so painful cuz I'm sure once you damange the nerves in your brain you won't be able to feel pain anymore, right Mel, the Neuroscientist? heh...
But for appearance purposes... i personally think it's still better to go with sleeping pills.... hmmm....
don't worry, i'm not stupid enough to kill myself just yet....

It seems like everyone read TN's xanga and everyone have something to contribute...
I wouldn't say I'm on either of their sides, but I'll just say that...
it is quite mean to yell at someone, ditch the match and THEN post it on xanga to let everyone read and openly comment on... especially when most people know her in person. I mean, I'm sure he's pissed and he has his reasons but... have some respect.... for people in general..... I duno about her, but if I were her, I'd be feeling very humiliated right now...
For sure I'd believe that no bad intentions were intended... but you never know what effects it can have..... especially to girls cuz we are known to be the more sensitive ones of the race.
Just my 2 cents.

Listened to weird songs in Mel's car at 2am....
"You're not my sunshine
my fucking sunshine
you always leave me without a sign
ever you kiss me with full of feeling
you hurt me then say that no hard feeling"
-You're not my Sunshine, Mavis

Finally... the torturing everlasting project era ended....
Now's the start of a new era... the finals era. -_-;;

-------------------------------
Jenn was being very "Jenn"ish and amusing today.. heh
Quote of the day: "What's with all those double standards?"

Classic moment of the day:
Jenn: *showing Darryl* this is how I bowl! *swings hand backwards and hits KSo...*

Best mean comment:
Karen: Where is my ....
Jenn: It's in your face!
--------------------------------

Darryl's not only good at badminton...
he scored a 212 in bowling today!! CRAZY!

Anyone wanna test drive my game?
Message me. =D
