where are we now?

does listening to james blunt seem weird to you guys? i have an ackward feeling as if i shouldn't be liking his music.... and yet "wisemen" been repeating on winamp for a long time now... just over and over and over and over and over.... and over again. i mean, i don't exactly have a sterotype playlist... tamil, japanese, rock, hiphop, r&b, rap, pop, classical. then all those things fall under neo-, modern-, retro-. Are you playlists as colourfull (style wise) as mine? or are they really colourful (visual)? i mean, its not like i'd know, i haven't seen your faces in over a month, and i forgot what peter looks like. (someone mind posting a picture or give a roiugh detail or something?)

As far as what ever's gone recently, theres winning the forestry category of regional envirothon at tod morton mills with my team, and i'm the only veteran. nothing else much as this week comes to a close.

well, there is my dad letting me drive on the road for the first time, but that was like a total of 500m on a sideroad with little traffic, as in it was behind me. I wasn't being extremely slow, i just didn't have to match my speed with a car in front of me.

Bad things happening to good people...

Well a friend of mine and peter (because m&m is annoying to say/type, the whole symbol thing) recently lost his mom to cancer... so for the past few days things have been fairly random... We plan to take him out for dinner, hopefully it'll help...


Last week i had my birthday, an interesting day, recieved an interesting present from friends, a new monitor, which i needed badly, from parents, and a webcam from my sister... the number 17 feels old... er than 16...

-For english we have our in class essays on othello, reminding me just how much i hate essays
-For law we're starting mock trials which should be fun but we'll see how it goes, i'm set to be the judge for the first case and prosecution and defense lawyers later on
-For math we had our first *doable test of the whole year, we had a student teacher teach us for two chapters... the first chapter, on log, she assigned questions and for the first time in the whole year people were doing it because she was collecting it, so after doing more homework than the entire year, she gives us a test with nothing that she taught us on it, apparently there was one hard gr 12 sheet that our normal teacher gave us taht all the questions were related to... so we complained and here we are with a test that makes everyone happy, well it keeps the smart people the same since they get perfect anyways...


Had my first driving lesson on friday, I Can turn! going at 20 with the gas pedal not pressed down... apparently i should have 30 hours of in car experience before i take the test and the class has 10 hours so that'll be alot of sundays i guess... where would i go for 20 hours? or a total of?


Random intrest: Last.fm, the custom radio is a pretty good adfree way to listen to new music... found a few more bands through this

Hellooooooo people. Long time no post... ish... newayz! i believe this is the 494 post? 6 more ta go then we reach half a thousand... (who calls it that?)...(apparently me)... posts. So, past week has been fairly interesting. I can't get adjusted going bak to school and doing all this homework stuff eventhough i can't complain coz i don't have much hmwk from any classes.

I HATE ANTHRO! man! it's my lowest mark EVER! like wht the heck happened to me that made me get such a low mark? Man... it's frustrating especially since i don't really know how to improve. Getting the "right" answer won't help coz THERE'S NO RIGHT ANSWER! man! We had to write these journal/reflection thingies... and it's so unfair how she marked them coz i didn't know how to marking scheme was like, and she marks them near the end of the first term, so that's like giving up all my marks at the first half of the semester. This is only the second time this has happened to me in my whole life. I think i do well... but i'm actually NOT? but i don't know until i get my report cards. It's just the teaching style i guess (well...i blame...). Last time this happened to me was in gr.7 for english when i failed the class with a 47? 49? haha. I thought i did well... but apparently no one TOLD me i was doing BAD! Gr.9 french was pretty bad too... but that was just the subject... so i can understand, i just do bad at french.

I have like 4 books that i'm currently reading... of course some haf more priority over the others... Jane Eyre... MacBeth... -sighz- I also hafta finish (more like start) the da vinci code... at this rate i'm gonna hafta get it on dvd.

It's been a fairly fun week. I went to Vaughan Mills yesterday... i bought nothing... but walked around the mall like twice. It's pretty huge... and it's so clean, haha. nice place, i'd live there...
I also started my insurance classes... we should all trade notes with each other -shakes head- so those with worse teachers won't do too badly on the road. Think of it this way, if we were to drive each other... we could either be equally as bad, or equally as safe =D huh? huh? yah.... byebye!

One of those lazy days.

I haven't done a single productive thing today. Am I proud of it? Well, I actually don't care. So this entire day has gone pretty much wasted. For the most part. I finished Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, but it wasn't worth it with a mouse and keyboard. A gamepad would have been nicer (in fact its recommended). I also ate lots of Smarties Ice Cream. That stuff is the greatest edible thing in the world (and I've had my share of edible things courtesy of my "friends"). The only thing comendable is the fact that I spent some time with Azereus (my bittorrent client program), and found out I could edit some things so that I always downloaded a decent rate and would upload at one too, enough so that I could keep my 2.0 share ratio up. Good for me, and people can't call me a leecher. Other then that, i've accomplished nothing. Ka-peesh....

Random Converstaion of the day:
"Oh my god, shes going to kill me!"
"Why? Is she waiting for you somewhere? What, what so funny?"

Bad luck

Ever have a something really important to do, but its the littlest thing that keep you from carrying it out. Well that happened to me last night/this morning. My mice had been acting up on me, dying off every 15 minutes only restarting once I crawled down under my desk and reconnected it. Well, after putting of getting a new mouse and doing my comp sci homework, they both decided to catch up to me at once. I had till midnight to email in my comp sci homework, whlie my mouse decided to die at a rate of every 5 minutes. That might seem fine, but I'd rather have a non working mouse then a mouse that pretends to be alive only to colapse when you need it the most. So by the end, I handed the file in an hour late, half working, and a new cordless mouse I bought a couple minutes ago from the same company that made my original mouse.

I'll give you a prize if you can figure out which trusted name brand for making quality computer software and hardware gave me all the problems I had.

for those reading on april 18th

I haf an odd feeling that it's someone's birthday soon... or like...today? weird... happy birthday whoever u may be =P

Tired and lonely

The house is empty, the only sounds coming out from the wind against the back windows and my computer speakers. The monitor seems a bit to bright in the dim lit room of the setting sun, but I decide that its just me. A shirts on the couch beside me, stained with the chocolate and cake of yesterday. An closed packages balances on the armrest, containing my videocard. But just like most of the day, the pain in my shoulders gets to me and I'm forced to reposistion myself.

Friday started off slow and ended fast. Went to my grandfather's house, only to remind myself of the divisions that linger in my fathers family. I remember feeling happy though, I think I managed to get something done I hadn't in a while, but it doesn't seem to be significant enough for me to remember now. Either way, I left there happy, dropped of at a friends house to celebrate the holiday as well as the three birthdays that passed in the last week, although it was never brought up. They did what they always did, while I barbequed in the back, the smoke burned into my clothing for the rest of the day. That took me to play pool, won a couple, lost a couple. I'm improving, although I'm not sure what I'm doing to make it so. Finished the day off to come to my cousin's house where i just relaxed the night away.

Saturday I don't remember too well. Besides buying a single shirt at Stitches, going to winners for my first and probably last time, the day came to an end early, since the rest was basically killing time for Sunday.

Sunday came, and I was headed downtown in that new shirt. I took part in the easter parade down on queen street. I overlooked the fact that the ttc might no have access to the parade, and I was late running from woodbine to victoria park, weaving through the crowd on the sidewalk setting themselves up for the parade. I managed to make it on time, exhausted, to the three decorated stretchers of the East General Hospital showing. There was probably about 10 people, including the parents and their kids. So I put on the whitelab coat with holes (the last one left), and waited for the parade to start. An hour later, it started, and i pulled a decorated strectcher from victoria park to woodbine. It was fun, I mean, it was exactly as I thought it would be so there were no suprises or disappointments. There was still an annoying thought in my mind of how unmulticultural the crowd was, except for the odd asian family/group. Then again, I didn't get a chance to check out all of the various float/acts. It seemed more like people were there to advertise various things then celebrate easter.

The parade ended, and I was driven to the nearest station and I headed home. The subway oddly empty, so things were quiet. I got home, only to be dropped off later at my cousin's 1 year old birthday party. It was a good way to end the night, with all of my maternal relatives present. I always love to hang out with them, everything feel so normal and complete with them lounging around. I ended up doing alot of work, picture taking and cleaning the rented hall up. I was exhausted from the hustle earlier in the day and the heavy lifting in the night.

So now the room is darker than it was when I first started this post.

This is this cat. This is is cat. This is how cat. This is to cat. This is keep cat. This is a cat. This is dumbass cat. This is busy cat. This is for cat. This is forty cat. This is seconds cat. * Now go back and read the THIRD word in each sentence from the top. Betcha you can't resist passing it on

I got that to kill my time a couple minutes ago, passed it on to Jon who figures it took him more that forty seconds. Just reminds me more of how we haven't done anything together is a long while, too long. So I'm out for now, with the homework still left to do.

driving...?

hmm... i need to start taking classes and lessons. I've only drove once in a parking lot so i don't haf that much experience. But now that everyone's learning to drive, i'm starting to think "why pay insurance when u got friends who drive?" so yes, i encourage everyone to start learning to drive, i'll be in the back seat with a lot of pillows in case u crash. Don't worry, if u do crash, i'll lend u some pillows.

Friday... i didn't go to school, yay? no... that means i missed a lot of information and i didn't get to learn as much as the others. I had to take out all four of my wisdom teeth. I'm no longer wise... but i was never wise to start with so lalala. Now i can't eat anything solid. All i've been eating were cookies soaked in milk so it's soggy (tastes pretty good actually), and soup. I had so much liquid i don't think i can get sick. I don't know why, but i like the fact that i haf to take pills. haha. makes me feel important...somehow... ooooook. Also, my cheeks are verry puffy coz of the swelling...therefore i didn't shave for a while... i need to shave -.-"

So yah, time to move time forward an hour. ... one hour of my life wasted coz of the greeks... (it was the greeks rite?... well then again we gain that hour back in half a year...)

Are you really sure your okay with me doing that?

Good for you. M&... not gambling. Your parents will be very proud of you.

I just came back from driving lessons. With my dad that is, so the only expenses are time, gas, and faith. More so time than anything else. Two ours behind the wheel, and now my back is sweaty and my fingers numb, the later I'm not really sure how. So over all think I've done well, with roughly six hours behind the wheel. My dad doesn't really mind teaching, since he's been driving since her was around twelve (he's now over 50) and he taught most of my relatives, and he's driven on the autobahn for more than 13 years. So my guess is he has some idea with what he's doing. So after two hours driving around the agincourt mall parking lot, parking forewards, parking backwards, going over speed bumps, stopping at stop lights, an parking between cars (Are you really sure your okay with me doing that?), I still want to drive. So he says lets go home. See, in order for me to go home from agincourt mall, I'd have to go on the road. So i asked ( in tamil) "Are you really sure your okay with me doing that?" He just looked at me, gave me look, and then i did as he said. So I went home, tried some parallel parking with the cars on my Blvd (got it the first two times, messed up the 3 times after wards) and doubled back to stop across my house.

Driving's fun, still have to work on reverse parking, but its getting better... atleast I'd like to believe that. Well I'm out now.

Speaking of bluffs

Good for you. Dra... not skipping. Your parents will be very proud of you.

Speaking of bluffs, uu, me, some friends played poker on friday night/afternoon. We were planning on playing tennis, it was a nice day. It rained a bit so we decided to play some poker, although i sitll wanted to play tennis, we played in worser condition. Uu knows what I'm talking about. ( winter + tennis = nice fun combination, chilly breeze made my fingers numb, my hand bleed a bit. No pain no gain I guess, hell I don't believe that for one second.) So back to poker, we played as usuall, I knocked our 2 players quick early in the game, and another person who was distracted because he was playing guild wars, or halo later in the game. Uu knocked out the only white guy there, so we are playing heads out. Blinds were raised to 1000 and 500 from 50 and 100. We played a couple of hands exchangnig pots, soon I got tired and went all in with nothin seven high, and uu got a straight and beat me =D

Maybe we should help on the site, if I know what you guys want maybe I can conjure some magic in the layout.. first i need the dpi(doesnt really matter, since we wont be printing), and the sizes.

As ideas goes, I'm out of it, school has prevented me from reaching my creative side. Feel free to suggest anything, and ill see what i can do. Instead of making dra doing all the work.

Nothing more to report, unless you guys want to help me on my chem lab...
