Happy Chinese New Year
Well, Chinese New Year, and everyone is together with family and having lots and lots of good food. At least the Asians did.
I went shopping today for junkfood that I can't get in Kingston. I'm all stocked with instant noodles and candy. I'm lugging it all back with me. I don't care how heavy it is. Found this great supermarket opened by Taiwanese people with the biggest assortment of Asian junkfood I've ever seen in an Asian supermarket. The Asian Markets in Kingston just can't compare. They are so far off. They are lacking so much stuff on their shelves. It makes me so sad sometimes when I can't get Frugurt and other such goodies. I stocked up on the New Year's essential foods such as wintermelon candy and lai si tong and tong yun. So happy ^^ Man I'm going to miss Toronto when I go back to Queen's.
Jimmy the bum won't visit me in Kingston. However, he is the one person who convinced me to go on Asian Avenue in almost a year. I must say his site is rather impressive. Apparently, I'm going to be his one-person fan club. Haha. I really must update this site more often. myplay.com closed. No more music archive. But it still won't be happening soon since I have an exam next Monday and another on Friday. Nothing much happening today. Had lots of good food. Am going to miss real food when I'm back in Kingston, but at least I have that stash of junkfood to last me until reading week.
The last time I made an entry was so long ago. So many things have changed since the end of Christmas break. I'm really not going to get into it, but it involves people changing completely from what I thought they were. Oh well, I'm not going to dwell on it too much. Nicholas is now my best friend in Kingston. Shawn's got himself a piece of ass he's chasing. And Tom is still good old Tom whom I can always count on as a shoulder to cry on. At least these are people I can count on. Grant's the strangest, geekiest, otaku I've ever met. Not only does he play magic cards and does gumdo so that he can be like Kenshin, his room is completely filled with anime/star trek/martial arts paraphanilia. It's so cute. Nicholas can cook so well. I'm finding myself at his house more often so that I can be properly fed. ^^;; He's so cute too. He calls his laptop Elanor and can mud all night on some medieval fantasy mud called Astaria. Apparently, he is the dark overlord of it or something. Spot, the cat in Nick's house is completely insane as always. We have found out that he say's 'mom' when he wants to be let into a room. It's strange, but cute, in a twisted kind of way. My new friends are really interesting. Nerdy, but and great fun. That's basically the summary of my life in Kingston. I do the usual activities and have started attending anime club semi-regularly. I'm having a little trouble finding a house for next year, but I'm hoping it'll be all resolved by the end of the school year.
Anyway, going to leave everything at that. I really just rambled.

oh the loss of drinking buddies
So many people have resolved never to drink again. Aneta, Jen, Elaine and Vanessa. Who am i going to drink with now? that nursing essay is driving me crazy and my second-guessing myself sure isn't helping. tonight, i got my essay back in philosphy. Not great, but good enough. Many people got fucked on marks though... they really were chewing that prof out. I hope she didn't all of a sudden decide she needed to eat the male population of the class. We don't have any to spare.
Desiree, if you're reading this, you should be very proud to hear just how much I have spent off daddy's credit card. Most of it blown in one day at the Hyatt spa. BTW, since my drinking buddies are dropping like flies, you are so obligated to come to Queens and party with me over a weekend. Plus, you need to get your ass out of Waterloo more often and see what campus life SHOULD be like. None of that York and UofT bullshit. BTW, crashing that UofT party was quite cool with you. But did you REALLY need to piss on that guys dog and then send it running into the living room? Fuck, it shook itself out in there... it's going to reak for weeks. Ok, so you didn't piss on the dog. You just got like 300 drunken UT frat boys to piss on that poor puppy. Anyway, I wasn't nearly drunk enough not to remember. Haha! Aren't you proud of me?
OK, now that I've gone off on a tangent, back to reporting about life. Life totally blows. I've gotten all my shitty marks back and it's not even close to what I am used to getting in highschool. It really is a blow to the ego. As they say on my floor, I am so 'L'. My self esteem is at an all time low. Which is very significant for me since you know what a cocky bitch I am as per usual. I am really riding the 'L' curve now. I'm not quite as upset about it as I would have expected myself to be though. But everything happening is making me very angered and frustrated indeed. People are really pissing me off. Some more than others. Sometimes, I just want to scream and kick and punch something. I really should have joined kickboxing. Or Karate, or Kung-fu, or something of the sort. Kill me now, I want to punch the wall, but then I'd do more harm to myself than relieve stress. These walls are industrial strength concrete with lots of asbestos, not the drywall I'm used to punching at home.
Man, I have to go to sleep soon. I have an 8:30am anatomy lab tomorrow. We are studying the glutes. Yay! Muscles. I wonder how the displays will be set up... I hope they give us latex gloves. This is one lab I don't think I'm willing to touch without gloves.
One last bit of news. To all my overseas cousins/friends/etc. I miss you and I finally found out how to get the IME working on my computer. I know, it was a little slow. The windows website gave the vaguest instructions ever. Usually they give you the brain-dead-can-understand version of instructions. But when it's something I actually need help on, they gave me jack squat. that's windows for you. Fuck. Yea, but now I can type in the asian languages. I feel so much less out of touch with the world now. Setting up the IME took a lot of effort and a lot of searching in very obscure places. But I did it. It works now. I'm happy.
Anyway, I really am going to bed now. Baibai!

No, I didn't fall off the edge of the earth
I've just been swamped by midterms and had no fucking life for the past 3 weeks. So tired. Haven't gone to bed any earlier than 2am for a few days. In dire need of a nap.
How is everyone btw? I miss you! Actually, I've made myself quite the surrogate family here. Everyone knows me, despite my not knowing everyone's names yet. Midterms were alright. I studied really hard for everything except Nursing101. I did alright in microbiology and physiology/anatomy. I don't know how I did in psychology or nursing101 yet though. I hope not that bad. The past couple of days I've been writing a philosophy essay. It was making me go crazy. Last night was my first night to unwind. Tonight will be more relaxing. Halloween party.
Happy Halloween Everyone!! I'm signing out. Sorry about brief entry. Midterms are not exactly the most exciting things to talk about. But you guys should all be very proud of me since I did my laundry today. Sheets and all. And it looks like none of my clothes suffered major damage. I also cleaned our room. This weekend will be packed with thrills. Will report back later.

Homecoming Pics
Well, I really don't have time to say too much. I have a midterm tomorrow in Anatomy/Physiology. But I decided I might as well put up a few pics of homecoming weekend and me purple for you guys to see. I miss all of you lots! Wishing you guys were here. Was so plastered for homecoming. It was so much fun. Drunken alumni are the best. One of them stuck a J in my panties.

3hr philosophy SUx0rZ!!!
Should I rant? Yes. I think I should. First of all... 3hrs of ANYTHING is inhumane... let alone philosophy with a prof that is pulling shit out of her ass! My prof for philosophy wears the same thing every single day! I used to think it was just her Wednesday outfit, but I saw her out of class and she was wearing the same thing. She hates men. She is like a radical feminist and is trying to convert all of us in class. If I were one of the 6 guys in the nursing program, I'd walk out of her class. She is so irritating. The class is so irritating. And she makes it so that it is impossible for me to skip her class because she has pop quizzes that are worth 10% each. And the material she covers this month, will still be fair game for quizzes next month and all the way until the end of the semester. I thought philosophy would be lots of essays, but no! It is one SHORT essay and one case study plus the 5 quizzes that make up my entire mark. Kill me now!
As for all my other classes... I like them. Psychology is a pain to sit through. I can never stay awake. Vanessa now makes fun of me because I can wake up mysteriously just in time to take notes then fall asleep again. I think it should become my new special talent.
This weekend is homecoming. I hope lots of you guys come down and join me. I miss you all!

Drunkards R Us
We drank all last night. I am now missing 2 mickeys of rum. Don't get me wrong, I didn't drink it all. Parts of last night are kind of sketchy... but I remember singing Oil Thigh completely off-pitch. Now, you think I sing horribly in karaoke? Well, you should hear me sing piss drunk. We pulled an all nighter. I went to bed at 6:30am... and woke up at like... 2pm? Probably.
Apparently, I kissed everyone on the cheek last night. At least so Vanessa tells me. You'd think people would be smart enough to avoid me in the morning if I only went to bed at 6:30am... but no. Peter, that idiot, woke me up at 9-ish... FOR BREAKFAST!! He made like 4 trips into my room. Each time laughing as if he was high. The last time he came in, he showed Shawn my stupid sleeping position which so happened to be me sleeping horizontally on the bed with my feet on a chair. I miss my queen-sized bed.
My iguana died... boohoohoo 
. I'm not going to dwell on it. He was old. I'm eating Ben and Jerry's from the way overpriced RezExpress. It cost me a whole $6.50 for a 1/2L tub.
Going to go now. Not really much to say... but no mooncakes for me tonight for the Mid-Autumn festival. Oh well, I don't really like mooncakes. But I do miss my parents. Mommy/Daddy, if you're reading this. I miss you! Wish I was with you guys this weekend.

Ok... so I lied...
I did say I'd tell you all about greasepole when I got home on Monday didn't I? Well... I forgot/got busy/watched Harry Potter AGAIN. Anyway, I can't sleep right now, so I'll tell you all about it now.
That's pictures from greasepole. Dirty good fun isn't it? The engineering first years have to climb this football pole stolen from UofT covered in Lanolin grease. Lanolin is what pregnant women use to make their breasts more supple. :lol:
First years aren't allowed to go to the site to watch this glorious event apparently. Upperyears can buy tickets to the site. However, me, being stupid, I asked the engineers on my floor at rez to sneak me in. I wanted to see. I was even willing to hide in a backpack. I however, did not know about the "Ride to Hell". Boy did I regret that... -_- "Ride to Hell" consisted of every one sitting with their knees on the floor of the bus and their head to the seat. They close all the windows, turn up the heat, and cover you in 2 rez blankets... maybe more if you peak. It was so fucking hot in the bus that they could play tic tac toe on the fogged up windows of the bus. What was worse was that the engineers after they got to the site, had to jump into that giant pit of dirty, muddy, cold water. I was slightly more fortunate as I didn't get into "The Pit" right after we got there.
The bus I sneaked onto was that of my floormates Shawn and Tom's frosh group. It was the first bus to let the people off and therefore, these guys were right in the middle of the pit, right next to the pole. I stood at the sidelines taking pictures since everyone had given me their cameras. I did not expect to be in the pit. However, upperyears are cruel and pushed me in anyway. And I'm not even an eng. I shouldn't be treated like that!
So anyway, I ended up in the pit multiple times since the location where I was taking pictures was right at the edge of the mud hole. I was wearing flip flops that day... not very smart. Flip flops and mud don't mix. The suction from the mud kept my shoes and I gave up trying to find them and walked around barefooted after the first time the upperyears pushed me into the pit. I was so dirty, but at least I didn't get too much Lanolin on me. That stuff is a bugger to get off. The eng on the floor had to use dishwashing detergent to get it out of their hair. I guess when the label says "ultra grease-cutting", it ain't lying.
My feet got lots of cuts on them after losing my shoes and treading on that mud. It was quite gross, since afterwards, on the bus, the frosh leaders (frecs) told us that if we got a rash in the form of white spirals to please go to the doctors. If I am thinking correctly, that's ringworm. Oh how reassuring. ::shudders:: I didn't get a rash... thank God. Oh yes, I forgot to say that "The Pit" water, consists of piss and vomit (from the alumi's wild drinking parties the night before), and maybe many more unthinkable grossness that can't be too healthy.
So we went back to rez, all dirty, wet, and quite cold because wetness and a cool breeze does not mix. We washed our hands and noticed that there was only 15 mins left before brunch stops being served at the caf. What do we do? We abandon plans of showering and go inhale some food first. Gettng rid of dirt could wait. It was funny when people look at you strangely and slightly revolted.
I have to say Congratulations Sci '06!! You are now a year! I expect to see many of you purple at homecoming!!
Man, I love Queen's.

Second Week of Classes
My first class is at 10:30. I just came back from breakfast. The coffee sucked. Rez food isn't the most appetizing thing to eat everyday, but oh well. It's edible and sometimes it has good stuff.
I decided to add an entry to tell you all about how I'm doing. Well, I've never done as much reading as I have in the past week. I read SO much. I read 140 pages of psychology and like another 40+ pages of the Fundamentals of Nursing, which is the biggest book of common sense ever written. I can't believe people actually write this shit down. And I quote, "If a patient is at cardiac arrest and is in need of respiratory assistance, that patient is of a higher priority than the one that needs to be walked down the hall." Like... no shit!
My philosophy class is killer. It's 3hrs long from 7pm to 10pm. That's like inhumane. I can barely stay awake in the class. My prof is like pulling shit out of her ass. I don't understand the textbooks we need to read for philosophy. I keep losing the motivation to read it. It's worse than Fundamentals of Nursing. -_-
Anyway, I better start getting ready for class. I'll tell you all about my weekend as soon as I'm home from class. I'll be doing my own laundry for the first time in my life today. I hope I don't screw it up. heheh ^^;;

Woo... long time no blog
Welps, I'm off to Queen's on Monday. I'm scared since I don't know anyone there. HELP ME!
I'm all packed. I think I've done everything I need to do. King is being dumb and not giving me my diploma until October. Slowpokes. It doesn't make sense that commencement is in the year AFTER I've already graduated. ::sigh::
A little note on the exam mentioned oh so long ago. I laughed. VERY hard. I got perfect on the exam by BSing through the entire thing.
What else happened...? Oh yeah, I saw Derek today of all people. Him and Andrew. I think Derek likes me. Should I run? I think I should. I'm running far far away. All the way to Kingston. Andrew broke up with what's her name and could even state exactly how many days they were together. It's really sad. Haha, I had to refrain from laughing.

Celebrating and spending entire time in front of tv to watch all those dramas I missed whilst working! Watching ǻ anime and drama again.
That exam was the easiest thing I've ever written. I didn't study at all. I spent my time in class before the exam reading a magazine and listening to heavy metal. I'll laugh if I get 90+ on that exam.

Crushed... -_-
Just went on nzzang and read that Click-B is no longer going to be a 7 member group!!! What is going to happen to my fantasy of 7 husbands?! Three of the members are leaving to pursue other things. I'm so sad... ::cries:: YOU CAN'T LEAVE!! What will Click-B become without its drummer and guitarist?! ::BAWLING::
Only good news is... Kim Ssang will still be there. The ones leaving are my least liked 3, but STILL! Click-B just won't ever be the same. Kim Ssang is still hot and I still want him.

Absolutely GLORIOUS Day!!
::JUMPS AROUND:: Brazil... lalalala!!! YAY! Won $200 and made up for my loss on Korea and Argentina.
Well, after the game, I spent a whole 3hrs on my new website. This should be a pretty permanent thing that HOPEFULLY, if everything goes well, I will continue to update. It's pink, and this blog is linked into it, so therefore, this blog is pink too ^^
NEVER have I spent that much time on a website. My attention span lasts no more than an hr usually. Not all the pages are filled yet, but they will eventually. I just don't think I could stand to sit at a computer any longer. I'm going out to celebrate.
Yesterday's Gay Pride parade was awesome. I got so drenched. Stupid Peter wouldn't give me his super soaker... oh well, I borrowed someone else's which was almost as big. It was great fun. And Joey and Mikey looked so cute together ^^ ::coos::
Anyway, that's all for now. Going out. Bubye!!
