well? Problem resolved for the time being. =D

Thanks to BONDELEN and MARK for helping me today...
I thought someone tapped into my router and did funky stuff to it.
I can't even imagine a NIGHT without internet on my laptop. hahaha...

三思而後行...
For some reason I am always 行0左先三思. Comp sci method of doing things... heh
Well there's nothing wrong with that except there may be situations where by the time I realize I am doing things the wrong way I am too far off track already.
304... I need u done by 12pm tomorrow so stay on track please....
Also..I think... I chao-ed my jap quiz today. -_-;; slipped by kanji's for recognition.
I am also missing 40% of my 202 quizzes... damn it... I can't keep on missing quizzes like this. ><

I get VERY pissed when a certain few of my possessions get lost/damaged
1) My Isometric Ti SwingPower SP
2) My white tearaways
3) My "THE DOG"s hanging from my baddy bag
4) My stationery

Swimming was nice and refreshing... but swimming kills my hair.
Maybe it's time to invest in better hair conditioner... or a swimming cap. -_-;;
Oh that reminds me of one thing that happened in HK... heh I duno whether I should be jealous or amused when one day Steph said "I have never seen a split end before". Hahaha... split ends? I can show you tons of those now... =P

Nice dinner with Elaine and the gang today...

Thanks to Jimmy and Dennison (made new friends! =D) for all the help... thanks to Joseph for the waiting and the ride... and no thanks to the damn EOFException that stalled me for 1 whole hour. >=(

Lost season premier!!!!
Just sitting there on my laptop waiting for me to click on it anytime now.. =p

Let me recount my longboating experience..
It was fun and cool experience... haha rojai on the sea... rojai + sea = bad combination... hehee it was fun aside from the fact that it was very demanding on my back cuz our boat kept tipping on one side and I leaned over SO much but still kept on sliding away... hope we'll be more balanced by next weekend.. hehe... so funny how people started off with " 1 -- 2 -- 1 -- 2 -- 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 2 1 2...". dude... how are we supposed to catch up when you're just barely dipping your oar while we're digging all the way in the water... haha... nonetheless.... let's kick some ass this weekend. *cross my fingers* please don't let us be in the 8am heat.. -_-;; GO TEAM.... er... wat's our team name again?

Seems like the cold's hitting most people I know.. I must be lucky I haven't caught it yet...

-start thinking about co-op japan job applications...
....24 hours is SO not enough.............

Some interesting things (may not be interesting for you, though) going on in my life:
-Finished watching the first season of LOST... soooo good.. and so suspenseful. hehe Kinda.. keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's kinda.. hard to guess what's gonna happen next... or maybe it's just me. =) Very cool show..!! How things turned out between Jin and Sun was really great... I wouldn't mind having a husband like that. =p although he's "dai naam yun", overly protective and stubborn... but to be willing to do all those things he did for Sun ... awww....
-Got my access pw into Co-op Japan job postings... there's this company that's paying for airfare and and a good salary... Cpsc R&D.. damn I wanna get that job... =) The only thing is that they have uniforms there... hmmm.... haven't worn uniform since F1 in HK... =) Gotta choose jobs that are 6 or 7 months in length... Aiy. Thinking back in the days when I sent out 60 cover letters and in the end only found ONE company that wanted to hire me... I hope it's not as bad now cuz I'm only allowed to apply to 7 companies this time. ><
-Tried harder in running today... I'm always afraid that I will burn out too quickly if I try too hard in the beginning, but for some reason... running without glasses makes me run faster. hahahaa.. excuse.. =p I kinda like running in the dark alone actually... So lucky I didn't cramp up.. heh there's this one lap when I ALMOST did... my calf.. *shudder*... good thing I went back and put on my pants and then I had to stop and tie my shoelaces.. -_-;; Hehe after all that stalling I still wasn't last to finish... =p But my back's been hurting so much ever since group... gotta see chiro again. And I just went to see him yesterday. -_-;;
-Dinner after training... heh... when I eat "Paa chaan" with Kyole, I always get huge portions and he always gets small ones.. hahaha... Mark, Bonnie and Braz joined us later... sooo funny talking about our younger days... =p Got reminded of something that happened in elementary.. when I was in Grade 2 or 3... during a test, I was just looking around cuz I was bored... and then I randomly glanced at the corner of the test of the person next to me.. then I got accused of cheating... and what I told the teacher was "I wasn't cheating because I was working on page 3 but she was on page 5 already"... soooo dumb. -_-;; seriously, sometimes honesty doesn't pay off. =p heheee

Roz' stupid quote of the day: "The Exorcism of Emily Carr"

Random thoughts:
I have a bit less than 2 days to finish my 416 assignment....
Hmm that should be plenty of time =D
October is going to be such a busy month for me....
and if Mark's tourney is on the same day as Club tourney... errr... that would suck... majorly....
OH....shit.... it's 3:13am and I just remembered that I have longboat clinic tomorrow at 9am...... 6 hours of sleep..?? @_@ Goodnight.

Hmmm... great chat with my mom.. =)
I THINK I know which way I'm headed now...
hehee mommy suddenly turned into my personal consultant. =p
Before this... i rarely (more like never) ask my parents for advice... and why is that? I don't know....

175 membership all filled at 2pm today!!
And that concludes the booth days for the Baddy Club..
Actually, I quite like booth-ing... love the busy bustling of people in SUB...
Oh well! Till next year!!

Heh things are finally starting to run and life is becoming hectic again..
good...

Today an interesting conversation came up between me and Joseph:
Me: *bee flies by me* Ahh!! A bee!!
Joseph: 唔使驚, 佢"lau"你0者!
Me: .... err....
Haha how would you react when someone says something like this?
It's interesting because the way I perceived what he said was completely not what he intended to say....
I've given some thought to it too... it must be that *edit I am more self-centered so we would put/perceive the emphasis on the "you" more than and before everything else.

Badminton Club membership: only 20 left!
Get it before they're all gone!

I just realized that the episode of Lost I watched in VRC was indeed the last episode of Season 1.... -_-;; Kinda ruined some parts for me.... Oh well!!!

This term... TRAIN HARD PLAY HARD WORK HARDER!

====================
I now understand that it is just as hard to get a point across than to get people to agree with me...
Oh well, no hard feelings, I've tried my best.

Why wouldn't they let me access my cs account thru FTP?
And why on earth is my cwl account expiring in October 2005????
Why the hell aren't the tech supports replying my emails????
..........grrrrrrrrr..............

Sometimes, I wish my conscience would just leave me alone in my dreams....

LOST alone this time...
I feel soooo sad about the story between Jin and Sun...
Miscommunication... leads to misunderstanding...
Why is it that men likes to keep things inside, even to the ones they love?

And I need to thank Jenn for ceasing my worries and sharing my guilt. =D

Marshmellow Ngau Ngau??? heeeheee!!!

I am in such an elated mood today...
I'M IN COOP JAPAN!!! =D
Don't start congratulating me on it yet... I still need to find a job in Japan in order to go there next year... ><
Well nonetheless... the first step = SUCCESS!

So no technical NCCP this weekend... =p which means...
this weekend = training + longboat clinic
next weekend = longboat race
next next weekend = C1 tourney

=================
no more HH....
no more painful reminders of JY.
no more please.

=================
My mood's been on a rollercoaster for the day...
Went up and down and up and down...
I'm beginning to agree with the belief that you crawl up higher just to fall down faster...
and you know what's worse...
what's worse is that by the end of a rollercoaster ride, you're usually at the lowest point of the entire railway.
I must be expecting too much... I'm asking for it.

Mariage d'Amour....
Had the sudden desire to play piano after not touching it for a year or maybe two...
After 1.5 hours of continuous playing I finally regained 70% of my musical sense and on top of that it stirred up a piece of memory that has been buried in my thoughts for 2 years... ah.... those were the times.............. I feel sooooo nostalgic...

Lemme start my paragraph on badminton by talking about my injury... haha
On Wednesday night during my second game I suddenly felt sharp jabbing pain in my right pelvis area whenever I lunge, so I decided to take a break.
On Friday night after playing some mixed doubles with Wilson, the injury miraculously disappeared
On Saturday, my leg was as good as new! Hence I tried harder in private and group....
which has led to...
the cramping up of my right lateral muscle after running 6 laps (was supposed to do 12 too.. -_-;;)... after resting for a bit the cramping was slightly eased, and then Darryl decided that we should do chain running so on our 6th lap of the chain running the same muscle cramped up again... ><
Although I must say that this muscle cramping up feels MUCH MUCH better than calf cramping.... I can still run after I cramp up, but calf cramping is a nightmare...can't even move after my calves cramp up. ><
And today.. my leg feels as good as new again. hahaha... but my back is sooo soreee..... grrr....

Doubles... it's fun when I can laugh my mistakes off but mistakes that I can't laugh off would just drag my game down exponentially.... -_-;; That's why I either need to be more mentally prepared, or I just need a partner whom I can laugh my mistakes off with.... *ahem*Jenn*ahem*?? hehehee... luv my partner...

Weekends are never long enough.... -_-;;
Things to do whenever I have time on weekends:
-get present
-getting lost... heh with Jenz and Shao and them
-plan a trip to Langley to visit Joyce!!
-assignments
-shop.. some more? hehe

And when I'm REALLY REALLY free (I doubt I'll ever be THAT free)
-learn more about "Curves and Surfaces"
-learn ASP.NET

Why is it so hard to be nice to someone nowadays?
Either they think you're trying to take advantage off them, or they think you have other intentions or worse yet, special feelings towards them.
I'm telling you, I'm just trying to be nice here...

I spent my Friday afternoon getting Orthotics (yes I need them too... >< but only over the counter ones), finishing my 304 hw and finished 4/5 of my Jap 300 assignment! Woohoo! The only work left is:
-1/5 of jap 300 (easy)
-review kanji and tango for 200 (easy)
-start on 416 assignment (intermediate)
that's it!!

Rojai longboating? Hmmmm.... now that's a thought. haha
I can do it if the clinic isn't on Saturday....

Wow I think I've just had one of the freakiest dream of my life... not because there were monsters or anything scary chasing after me, not because I was trying to kill someone or be killed by someone, but because it felt so horroribly realistic it left me dumbstruck in horror throughout the whole dream. If that in fact became reality..... I would have no idea what I'd do. Perhaps I would leave but I know a part of me would be tempted to 沉淪 in it as well.... freaky....

Today must be one of the unluckier days of the month...
1) Ran into a spider web (only a small one this time) this morning
2) Forgot to email club poster to Justin
3) Forgot to bring my wallet
4) Was late to morning jap class and missed a quiz
5) When I bussed home with Bearz, I didn't have my UPass, obviously.. and Bearz didn't have hers either so we had to fork out $4.50 when we could've gotten on for free.
6) We were walking back to the bus stop and saw a 480 leaving, so we were like "it's okay, there's gonna be another one coming". Then like 2 seconds after a 41 came and we ran and by the time we reached the end of the bus, the driver closed his door and decided to leave. Grr.. (I'll remember you, damn bus driver who stops at 41st & Carnarvon at 1:45pm...)
7) Went to get my orthotics without realizing that I left my wallet at home (wat a waste of gas money... *sigh*)
8) Almost crashed into this crazy woman who decided to drive up to the middle of the road to make a left turn, WITHOUT LOOKING to her left for incoming cars!! Holy cow... drivers these days!!!!

That sums up my day.. I hope it won't get any worse....

You know, whenever I've wanted something, I always tell myself "You don't really want it" to avoid being disappointed..
but this time... I REALLY WANT IT....I wanna work in Japan..........
Let me get in the program and let me find a job!! Please!!!

Wow. I just realized my average for my core courses (CPSC) is EXACTLY equal to my cumulative average...
Damn.. that means that all the electives I have taken have not helped in pulling up my grades....
should've chosen phil 120 or music 101 or something instead... grrr...

Itz funny how ever since I came back from HK, a lot of people have been telling me I have the "runner body".
So how come I suddenly transformed from a nobody into a "runner body"? haha =p
I believe the only explaination to this would be this...
...the secret is within my shoulders.
Which means that I have succeeded!! Or at least I'm half way to getting rid of something I don't want! =D Yayyy....

Craving for food at 1:45am...
Went downstairs and came back upstairs with half a mini-mooncake, watermelon, chocolate biscuits and a cup of water.
I know the sugar will kill my teeth but... Oh well...

I dropped my 315... now I no longer have class at 9 on MWF and I only have 2 intensive programming courses... and also only ONE class with the prof Acton. It was funny cuz when class ended, a girl behind me said "Is it just me or is it so hard to keep my eyes open in class" and I was tempted to turn around and said "No it's not just you!!" but refrained from doing so because I was, afterall, a complete stranger to her. The bad thing about dropping the class is that I won't be able to write my own OS (namely, ROS.. heh *Shaz), and my classes now goes from Dempters > Buch > dempster... which would ultimately mean that unless I find better/faster means of getting to class, I'd be late for 2 classes (out of 4) every MWF. It is a great excuse, as Kyole put it, even better when it is a case where you can't do much about it.

Okie.. that was a long... paragraph..
Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day...
1) Jap
2) Coop Japan Info Session
3) More Jap
4) Call Inglis
5) Chiro
6) UBC Baddy club meeting
7) If possible, I wanna go shopping. =p

For those who would shop at AE in the next 2 days:
15% off coupon

And for those who would be buying Carlton cards:

Paid yiu siu sum D ng hai rojai wui worry ga ma... take care!!

Why do I have to be stuck at home working on assignments on the first week of school??
Damn... I have a feeling I'm not gonna be enjoying this term at all.
I hope that my weekends won't start becoming routine...
Friday School > VRC, Saturday private > group > running > dinner, Sunday Assignments.
Nooo that looks like a horrible schedule to me.
What about hang out/relax time?

On the other hand, this is the result of today's work:


Aiyaya... and history tends to repeat itself once again.

Finished "Pride"... hehe it was great!! Great drama for girls who love ice hockey... they even mentioned Vancouver Canucks in there! haha...
If two people are meant for each other, even though there are no promises involved, in the end they would still be able to find each other.. deshoune! =)
Too much perfectly idealized fairy tale happy ending jap drama... but it's all good..
Even though I'll sound like a high-school girl saying this.. I'll still say this: Kimura Takuya is sooooo coool and handsome....!!! Now I wanna watch "Good Luck"
Also in love with the theme song: Born to Love by Queen
"I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life

You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me
You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I'd kill for your love

So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream
And my dream's come true
It's so hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Comin' through"

I really should be doing my assignments or working on my readings instead of watching drama now.. haha But.. well... procrastination is only fun when there is stuff waiting to be done. How can I possibly miss the fun?

Went swimming with Melly today during my break...
It was refreshing... unfortunately Mel started getting allergic after a while... >< where can we find a pool without chlorine?

Due:
ASAP- Read Japn300 L1
Monday- Cpsc 426 Assignment 0
Tuesday- Japn 300 review worksheet
Friday- Cpsc 415/416 Bio Card

To do:
-decide whether to drop a cpsc course or not (and if so, which course)
-call Inglis about PG
-lend Pride to Jenn
-finish Harry Potter and return to Shao
-return Harry Potter to Alfreda
-watch Lost
-find out about co-op Japan
-decide on what to do on Wednesdays
-think about getting NCCP (but the new course has become very annoying and expensive)

Hmm I knew it would come to me soon... haha
Got tagged by Jenn... read Mel's too but was too lazy to do anything about it.. haha
Well here goes... 5 Idiosyncracies of Roz:

1) When people suspect me of something I am innocent of, I like to make them think that they're right, and then prove them wrong when they accuse me in the open. heh.. so think twice before you accuse me of something you're not sure of.

2) Aside from very special occasions or the first few days of school, I am always full of excuses to be late. I stepped on dog pee, I had to take a dump right b4 I leave, I left my wallet at home.. yadda yadda... (valid or not, those are actually REAL reasons)

3) I (sometimes) read people's xangas or blogs more than 3 times a day when I'm bored (I know it's sad, xanga is one of my biggest source of entertainment). When I'm REALLY bored I start reading old entries...

4) When I'm nervous I start picking on my fingers (meet sau jee). At least I've improved.. I used to bite my nails...

5) Despite how much I love singing, I hate letting people I'm not familiar with hear me sing. Also, I hate letting my parents see my study or work. To sing/study I must work alone or with be gooood friends...

There you go...
I'm supposed to tag 5 ppl eh? Let's see who are the unlucky ones:
1) Cowz
2) Kyole
3) Bearz
4) Bondelen
5) KSo
as far as I know you guys are the only ones who read my blog and haven't been tagged yet. =p Of course you are not obliged to respond but it would gimme something interesting to read if you did. hehe.. Have fun...

Back to school...
I still remember the time when I was actually eager to go to my classes last year... man I miss those times.
Spent a whole day jap-ing... I am... talkative but not outspoken... I would have thoughts race through my head and the rush to speak up and introduce myself during the jikoushoukai to the class but then something would pull me back from volunteering... I don't think I'm that shy or afraid...I don't think the class was that intimidating nor was the teacher scary... maybe... I'm just lazy. -_-;;

The translink website doesn't seem to work in Firefox OR IE...
damn it.. how am I supposed to find out the bus schedule for tomorrow morning then?

Ahhh... waking up at 8 tomorrow to bus to school...
or wake up at 7:30 so bro can drive me to school?
Such a toughhh choicee... ><

Oh and from yesterday:
The wisest decision I've made for the last week was DEFINITELY my refusal to go into the haunted house in PNE.... heh I don't regret it!
Thanks Mark for the Cow Bungee toy... =D caught 2 toys in one catch, soooo good!
Too much kettle corn and cotton candy... by the end of the day I was x_X
But nonetheless... it was FUN! I'm glad I didn't fly u guys airplane and I'm glad I was a 2000V lightbulb the whole day... haha =p jk!

Lost for 2 days in a row...
Good stuff!

Well since everyone's posting about school starting soon, I guess I will too.
Haha for me, summer ending isn't a great deal... my summer felt like its ended the day cj left. So in consequence... I feel indifferent to the fact that school is starting soon.
I just know that it'll be a busy, busy term for me... like I always say in the beginning of term 1...
It's okay.. I have a backup plan to drop one of the courses if I can't handle the workload. =p
That's all I've got to say about school...

I think my car stereo is breaking apart...
the last time I tried to listen to a CD it keeps giving me "CD Error" on all 6 CDs. -_-;; that's why I'm pretty sure it's the player, not the CD that's giving me the trouble....
Is replacing car audio expensive??

Finally got to see u.... =D
*~satisfied

Today's a very special and important day:
Happy 2 years!!
Let there be 3, 4, and much more anniversaries to come!
Wish you were here to spend it with me...
