title... can't think of one

hallooo readers and... others. How are we all doing? Good? I hope so... coz unhappy readers just ruin my day. haha... not that i'd know if u were or not. Yes... I am posting because i am extra extra bored. I've been doing nothing in the past hour or so. Well i HAVE been doing something, but nothing productive/constructive/wht not. Nimalan (c, i used his real name, happy?) got me addicted to this game... that u don't really get to play because it's beta and the servers are almost ALWAYS full. Which leads me to wht i've been doing. For some time now, i've just been clicking on the 6 servers that they have. Two of which usually gives me the "cannot access server" and the other 4 usually gives me a "You cannot enter because there are too many users". It is extremely annoying... especially when ur very very bored...

Last post was tuesday. Reasons why i didn't post anything from then on was most likely coz my dayz were boring? and... uneventful. And... i say that coz i don't remember wht i did from tuesday onto now. haha. Hence, i cannot be specific to dates. All i kno is that i had a few quizes... not really few... pretty much a lot coz of physics and chem. Had a safety quiz for auto... had a math test which i'm pretty nervous to see what i got. So yah, had volleyball practice... i don't think i liked it coz i played bad due to my lack of sleep and our team's lack of tournaments -shakes fist- errm... school is pretty much the same i guess... the girl problems are daily at school so it's not really a problem any more than a daily... routine... sorta... thing... Sometimes it gets to me, sometimes it doesn't. It usually does coz of my lack of sleep which means bad mood. But there or rare days when i do get my necessary sleep and am in a more prettier mood. Only remember one of that day happening so far in my... 3 weeks.

Fellowship on friday was kool... of course i was a bit rushed. I guess i remember friday. Math test, lunch had an LAA (Leacock Atheletics Association) meeting therefore i couldn't eat my real lunch. Went home after meeting to find i only had 15 minutes to eat... I made instant noodles and ate it in fifteen minutes. It was rushed... i was sweating coz the water was burnin. Went to school, got to class wif one minute to spare. Chem quiz, physics quiz... then after school Daniel came over to my place coz he had taekwando and his dad came and picked him up... at Nimalan's place which was where i learned of this new annoying game that i'm semi-addicted to but cannot play due to the lack of servers and seemingly large amounts of users. yeeesh. After Daniel left, i stayed a bit... about 10 minutes longer then i had to go bak to my own place coz i had to get to fellowship at 6 due to planning purposes. So... that would be about 5 30 when i went home. Tried to sign up for the game at that time, but couldn't find site. Had to give up or i'd b super late. Went to sheppard bus stop, then transfered to warden coz birchmount has other route... i suspect. Don't u kno when there are two buses at the same stop, wif the second bus relatively close (one stop away... u can see the second bus), and the first bus (rite in front of u) doesn't go exactly to the rite place u want it to go to, but goes to a stop near enough for u to walk to ur destination, while the second bus is one stop away, goes to the rite place u want it to go to, but... it's second? Yah... bus ppl know that the second bus would most likely pass the first bus coz first bus haf to pick up passengers and unload while second bus has no passengers coz first bus took 'em all and all it has to do is unload. I sorta knew that, but i was too lazy to go to the second bus, therefore i went to the first bus which got passed by second bus which i scolded myself for. I was 10 minutes late... lalala. Fellowship was kool though, as it always is...

(should start new paragraph). My small group is pretty kool ^^ I like it. I like it more than last years... at least. haha. Our group name is called "Taken", which i find is such a good name. haha. Our topic will be relationships? Anywayz... 80% of u won't even know wht i'm talking about so why dunt i move on? oH wait! My slogan for the team is "sorry, we're taken" hahaaha! like those signs in shops that say "sorry, we're closed" and the lists the business hours n stuff.... I'll prolly explain this slogan to u when i feel like it...yah... ok, moving on.

Saturday! woke up at 9ish... watched t.v. 'til 9 45ish? Went online... first time playing the annoyingly addictive game on my computer 'til 10 15ish. Remembered that i had a wedding to attend to at 10 14ish, took a shower, got ready which took me 'til 10 30ish. Went to Ian/Eyen and Sandra's Wedding (My youth pastor and now wife's wedding! ^^) which was kool. First wedding i've been to in a while... my cousin is getting married in october... but that's in Hong Kong or Taiwan (forget where) and i haf school so i can't goo... booo =( Umm... yah. Wedding was so touching... I kinda thought it'd be longer though from when i was lil kid. But that might of been coz i had a short attention span (still do) but a shorter attention span than now so i thought it'd b longer. But then this time i knew the person getting married and was not following parents so yah, it was great. Waah, felt so out of place though. I need to buy 1) a suit 2) a non-black dress shirt. haha! I looked like i was going to a funeral. I couldn't wear a tie coz if i wore a tie i'd haf to button all my buttons which would cover my white shirt which was the only non-black thing on me. -takes deep breath- -sighz- My excuse? I had to go to someone's funeral...? (i didn't... well... my invisable friend's funeral... =( he died from being invisable). I'd also like to add that for some reason, whenever it's a special day for someone, and i'm somehow in it... I'm usually unhappy on that day for some reason. Victoria's birthday, was unhappy; Nimalan's birthday, neh, was good but then became unhappy; Bonnie's birthday, was sorta in a good mood but the week became unhappy (not as much as other two coz i wasn't really involved); now Ian's wedding... i was superly happy! Coz aw man, it was great... but then yah... i won't say more coz i dunt feel like it =P Brings me to a conclusion that when it's a special day to ppl i kno, i shall isolate myself. lol!

sooooooo... yah. I haf so many blog things now. I got this... (my main one by the way), my personal one which i didn't post in like weeks coz... nothing especially bad happend... yet. And now i got one in Xanga.com (20% of u know where it is... by the way, i only count 5 ppl reading this blog in total). And that one will prolly be my happy only blog. So yah... it should provide more of a better vibe/tone than this one coz this one is my main one which means i post all my thoughts here. Ok! finiiiiiished.


"Sorry, we're TAKEN"

aNother Tiring day

waking up at 7am for a volleyball tournament (yes again)...

at first the missing school part seemed good... (will return to this point later)... So the tournament was held at A.Y jackson, a school i've heard of but have no clue on where it was... its far. even by car. random points as i dont feel like making sentences.
- that school is like mac, everywhere you look there are asians ( no offense intended to anyone )
- our team is really good and we won
- our team/setter is mean even though i dont think he tries to be, he passes to the same guy who is 6'5 for 75% of the time, and he hits it in 90% of the time, and these are really hard and fast hits... the sad part is how the team sends all their blockers just to him for the whole game because they know it is coming to him and yet he still scores on them... and even if they do block once or dig once, they know he'll get it again and hit it the exact same way and score...
- my shoulder is still injured so i spent the entire day excercising it while on the bench
- i have to serve underhand now, thats how bad it is
- and the coach even made me play once when our setter started having a nose bleed by getting an elbow to the face... playing while handicapped is scary
- when we got back at 6ish, and people were telling me what i missed, i realised that i missed alot which is not a good thing...

Anyways, serious, seriously

(Laughs evilly out loud, coughs and clutches chest, throws random pill into mouth, realizes one of the pills was infact not a pill but plant food and pain in chest is being accelerated)

Okay, so maybe that didn't happen, but it could have. I really shouldn't be posting because the truth is that I haven't done a single bit of homework, since I got back. I keep telling myself as the school day ends that the first thing I do once I get home is to do my homework, but it hasn't happened, yet....

So my life at school has involved realizing that for the first time in a long time, I'm struggling, and its because I'm to tired and miserable from being sick to do anything. I am sick, I was in fact actually asked by my doctor if he should write a note saying that I should stay home. Of course, that couldn't happen since I missed two weeks of school and still have to catch up on work.

Thats one thing, the next is the fact that today is the day I actually got a locker and I don't even remember the combination of the lock since I had to borrow the lock off a friend also. I also bough a new bag today since my right strap tore off.... at the end of the last school year. Yeah, so what this means is that I've been walking around with every school book and binder I have, which is 6 textbooks and two binders, all in a bag with a hole and only one strap over my shoulder. To top this off, I'm already sick and tired, and I have to walk to and from the bus stop and through halway traffic.

Speaking of hallway traffic, theres alot more this year. I'm definately sure that there is alot more students at my school this year. A lot more grade nines, a lot more girls, and a lot more people studying during lunch.

So like Gary's said, i've gotten skinnier, lost 9 pounds, got taller, got sicker, more tired, weaker, lazier, more stressed.... well, maybe Gary didn't mention all of that but still... He's complaining about having so many shirts that they now convey specific emotions and moments of his life. And yes, I have to get my g1, I"m assuming that I'm the only one judging by Gary's tone of writing (does writing have a tone?) Gary has problems in school, issues with people, people have issues with me, and Jon is now an athlete with a very full bladder..... he can definately answer Yes to the question "Is it in you?"

extra time?

yay... soon, this blog will b full of my posts. does this somehow say that i'm the least academic student in this blog?

Let me explain my extra time today. I spent about the last hour doing nothing, because a lot of things happend... Or a lack of things. I come home today with only my chem text book. It's not really my fault since i asked the guy next to me if we had physics hmwk and he didn't answer me. And since we rarely had physics hmwk, i rarely ever brought my text home. But today was no ordinary day... no, today we had physics hmwk... from the text. dum dum dum. Like i said, i didn't know (forgot) so i left it in my locker... like all the other days.

Then, chemistry. We had a quiz today... took us the whole period to write and take up the quiz. At the end of the period, my teacher forgets to give us handouts. So, he tells us that (i'm assuming this is what he said.... i'll explain later) he will leave the handouts on the table near the door so we could get it on the way out. Here's my explanation, he says "wait! everyone stay! I forgot to give u the handouts... I'll lea..." and this is where my attention span ran out and began to drift off. Then everyone started leaving, i left for volleyball, and since that was in my mind, i completely forgot what he said and just left without taking a sheet.

So now i sit here... with 50% of my homework at school... -sighz- The feeling of being able to relax, but can't do that with a clear mind because deep inside u kno u haf hmwk at school which u'll need to b able to catch up on the next day. C! i'm fully capable of talking about school... this side of school... haha.

Ok... well, from total randomness, words that i try to stay away from because when i c, use, or hear them, it brings back hurtful memories: anyways, serious, seriously

yup. Also, i have shirts that i cannot wear... at school... due to the bringing back of hurtful memories. I found that out today when i tried to find what i should wear. took me so long coz i had two pieces of clothing i couldn't wear. 2 shirts is a big killer coz it ruins a lot of combinations of wardrobe. lol!!

soooooo... also have a cd that i now stay away from... again... due to... BOOO! that wasn't meant to scare u... it was a negative cheer. Now i'm wondering why i'm wasting precious blog space, haha. This post has no meaning at all...

.boom, bust, echo.

one of those daily posts

Hey u ppl. Since the beginning of the need to do homework, there has also been a need for more breaks. In the summer, everything was a break, but now tht there's homework, I cherish breaks a lil' more now. Just like how you cherish life more when u had a near death experience.

So since there's a need for more breaks for me coz i can't handle stress that well, as need for break increases, so do my number of posts. haha. Coz before, i used to b able to just type like a whole weeks worth of stuff in one post. I don't haf much time to do that anymore. therefore it must b broken into dayz.

I got 2 new cards within a month! well... 3... but school id card... ><>

That's... about it. 'cept for http://www.changeconference.com/ hahaa! I mite wanna go! but then i looked at the price... and then i looked at who i was going with (nobody) which discourages me. booo... I'm just taking note of this. It's a post... an electronic diary. I just wanna b able to look back at this and say "hey, i wanted to go there." and "oh... so that's wht happend that day" and "that's when i received my g1 licence card" haha... i'm not trying to mock u drakonen. Just trying to push u to take the test. And also a reason to come over to your house to c u (awww... i'm not gay) and also to play on your computer and c how much hmwk u haf and c how skinny u got and c wht souvenirs u got us. HEEE! U DID GET US SOMETHING RITE? haha, i'm joking...

k... time to study for my 2 quizes...

.boom, bust, echo.

The attack of the volleyball...

So i havent posted in a very long time, with school just starting, other extra curricular activities, homework and volleyball i havent gotten much of a chance to post... I will get back to the actual school stuff another day because as the post suggests this will be about volleyball...

Tired from a long day of finishing a volleyball tournament (7am-9pm)... *managed to injure myself a few days before so the only thing i could practice without my shoulder hurting is bumping, so i didn't actually do much cept sit on the bench and stretch to strengthen the muscle, not like i'd be a starter anyways... so anyways we came in third because of this really tall, amazing player who got about 75% of the points by himself... but ya really tiring, 3~4 bottles of water, a bottle of gatorade AND i didn't have to go to the bathroom... So now at home, i'm glad the day is over...

hahaha... i seriously don't hate... (responding to comment). But yah... haha, it looks like i did go the the terry fox walk thing... hehe. Oh well... They were rite behind/ahead of me (changes during time passes on) so once i hit kenedy and huntingwood, the only way to keep my mind off everything was to count the cement...blocks thingy and to count my steps. It was SOOO FUN! LOL! I find amusement from the littlest things. so yah, i DID miss a few cement blockies, but i estimate i missed about 10. There are little errors and uncertainties, but it's all good.

So, my report. i had approx. 10 missed cement blocks, after counting 100 of them, i start counting my steps coz it was more faster and fun! i counted 2332? waaah! i forgot now. but it's either 2032 or up it by 100 until 2332. And then for every 10 cement blocks, i had an average of 28 steps which means 2.8 steps per cement block. Which means over the 100 cement blocks that i counted, it took me 280 steps. Bringing us to a total of 2312-2612 steps from kenedy and huntingwood back to school (yes, i used a calculator for the last numbers. I kept on losing count coz the guy i was walking with kept on making me laugh and talking to me! Him and his disturbingly funny jokes... his jokes aren't so funny that it's disturbing, his jokes are so disturbing it's funny... -sighz- So yah, +/- 100 steps, lol!!! so bad...

Full day today, woke up, went to school (almost late), lunch, terry fox walk, school, volleyball practice, FELLOWSHIP! haha... sorry, just noting highlights of my day. I'm sucking on a lollypop thing rite now so i'm quite hyper and not mad or sad. Stop thinking i hate people! I don't hate! Goshes...

Oh... and drakonen, unknown... (maybe m&m's) should get together sometime since july unknownuser wasn't in the continent and in august drakonen wasn't in the continent and i was superbly busy. We need to hang out again!! Everyone helps each other do their homework! 'cept for drakonen... coz he must haf a LOAD to catch up on missing a week of school. I'm only assuming... i might b wrong, and even if i am, we could still hang out and do hmwk... or not do hmwk but hang out anywayz... or not hang out or do hmwk but that defeats the whole purpose of this paragraph. -takes deep breath- long sentence.

But the fact still remains that i'm usually in a bad mood when at school unless it's gr.10 auto! lol! coz it's the only class that doesn't haf a certain person's influence. But that class goes really slow... but yah. I'm done now... I don't wanna keep putting the same signature sign off so i'll change it back to

.boom, bust, echo.

Thursday, September 15, 2005

aiya man! i speak of doing no double posts and here i am. -looks at blog mates- thanx a lot!

Yes, well... as u can tell by my last blog... i've been up with a little stress and stored anger. That was just my way of releasing some of it... lol! The rest i save for another day. Still disappointed tht the school made me kill my collection of id cards. Now i haf o1-02, 02-03, 03-04, OH NO, NO 04-05, then now 05-06. If anyone asks, i took it off when i was at school and flicked it at an intruder. It got stuck and it broke as they took it out of him. Yes...

I don't hate school... i just don't like some of the people in my school. Of course u kno... i can't really express that fact, but deep inside, booo. It's not the person, just how the person acts. I like school... u get to learn stuff... hmm... actually, a better way of putting this is i like education... maybe in a few weeks i'll actually post what has been bothering me over the past ... 4-5 weeks. Unless u already know... of course only one person knows rite now... well two including that... human...

Nothing special about any of my days. Yesterday was pretty productive hmwk-wise. Today, physics is torturing... Spent a whole period trying to figure out one question. One guy (U KNO WHO U R) gets it in a few minutes... grr...

Other than that... i didn't really like volleyball try-outs today. I didn't do as well... but that was maybe due to the fact that it wasn't as organized and there are a lot of bad behaviour..ed... people trying out. By those ppl, i mean those who like playing basketball, and WALKING SLOW!

Omgosh! This reminds me, those darn "cool" students who walk super slow for no darn reason! I try to pass them, BUT THEY TRAVEL IN PACTS! like girls going to the washroom. And when they're alone, even when i try to pass them, they seem to b able to block my path! TO ALL U "COOL" PEOPLE, WALK FASTER! I'd kick 'em but there are cameras watching. and like i said... they travel together. Seriously! they travel like... and they block hallways! they are a fire hazard! kick 'em out! nooo... haha, jkz. But still, to me they're uncool coz they walk so slow > <

So... basically, everyday it's the same thing bothering me, don't think it'll go away for a long while. But because of "them" i try not to do things that involve them. I dunno if they're doing the terry fox thing... so i'm prolly not gonna do it just in case they do, which they prolly will. Haha, avoiding them... the best i can do for now coz if i see them i'll explode. How they look so innocent... yet so evil. Haha... i'm not talking behind their backs, one person actually reads this. haha! they're good people though, i don't hate them. I just... understand and don't understand them. see how confusing that is? that's why i avoid them!

Ok, so let it b known that i like chem more than physics. In order for u to get me to like physics, take away some math, take away most graphs, and yah, even then, i'll think about liking it more than chem, but not likely. I don't haf bio, so yah, heard it was boring, but that's only coz of the teacher.

And ahhh! kyrios forum so kool! haha... i dunno why i'd post that here, but yah. I'd post this in my personal one, but no one will share the excitement i haf for that forum. So i thought i'd post tht here. I have like 3 quizes tomorrow, i dunt even kno why i'm posting...

"To have friends, you have to be a friend" just_jordan (haha! so kool!)

this is therapeutic for me....

hey, so... last time i posted was on thursday... so i'll post for friday and beyond.

friday was... kool. Yah! first program for kyrios (fellowship i attend in case ppl still don't kno)! It went pretty well... i have to work on my public speaking...skills... coz i'm very... very bad at it. I always kno wht to say... AFTER i'm suppose to say it. -sighz- horrible. other than me speaking, everything else went pretty good.

Saturday... bought a new t.v.! i think it was on saturday, haha. Coz my old t.v. kept on going static on me... which is pretty kool, but very VERY annoying after a long while. Like, when u get to a climax of a show and episode or whtever... your at the edge of your seat, i find that the first thing i think of is "PLZ DO NOT GO STATIC ON ME!" and wht happens? -sighz- well it's not all the time, but even if it is some of the time, u wouldn't want that to happen on a very good part. It's not just like the show... then static... it's sometimes show, static, show, static, show... within a few seconds... GRR! well, my new t.v. isn't much bigger since it's hopefully bought for temporary reasons until we save enough money to buy a BIGGER one! yay! otherwise... it is a good t.v., i like it.

Sunday.... church... debating. hahaha... i'm pretty bad when it comes to making decisions... so when i'm a judge for a debate... hahaha. just makes me laugh and cry. Massive homework day i think... i forgot wht the hmwk was... but... well it wasn't THAT much. Not as much as

Monday! ok. Well... monday wasn't that exciting, the only reason why i had an exclamation mark there was coz of the last paragraph. School is pretty boring, and sometimes, depending on what i see and who is near me, it's annoying, frustrating, angry...fying... haf to make up words coz some things just make me so mad! I can't say what... trying to keep kool and not gossip. Gossiping is bad... not something i'd like to do... but most likely do anywayz when i'm not paying attention to myself. There was also volleyball try-outs! yay! the only thing i looked forward to... and then some certain ppl showed up... which made me... well... the emotions shown above. Which worked pretty well for me. My blood was boiling so to speak coz of those "ppl" which made me do well on certain parts. haha, using anger as my weapon... i'm going into the dark side. But i can't help it, they just... BLAH! And then of course some ppl that tried out just had this attitude... kept on not going to the back of the line... kept on playing basketball when it's volleyball try-outs. If they get on the team, it's just gonna double my anger...level... whtever... lol! So yah, school is the source of my anger... Home and church are the only places i can b without me... wanting to explode. So yah... happy places!

That drakonen guy is suppose to b back. Who is that guy anywayz? he posted a while ago, but psh! who knows who he is, he's been gone for a month. Drakonen! you have 48 hours to post! haha... i'm joking... -coughs- well i have to b coz he's the "owner" of this blog. haha. i'm so gonna get kicked out...

Edit: oh i forgot about today. It was like any other day 'cept it was photo day so we got new id cards. OMGosh! I didn't have to give my old id card to them! they just wanted them coz they didn't want us to cheat and use the old ones as the new ones. AHHH! THEY RUINED MY COLLECTION! I collect all my id tags. now i have one missing! WHT THE COLOURFUL BUTTERFLIES! thanx leacock for ruining my only collection i have. I'll remember this. See how angry school makes me!?!?

school? ew...

so hey... this shall b a short post since it's school n everything. I also need to sleep! so yah, i suppose i should post or else i'll b seeing no new posts since i dunt think unknownuser wants to post two in a row. I kno how it feels since i had to post 3 in a row.

First day of school was sorta fun... not classes-wise, just the weird feeling that u've been through this b4. Walking to school, seeing old teachers. Ok, i really wanna sleep! so blah! All my days of school are weird! I got no "real" friends in any of my classes! "real" as in those ppl i hang out with. And there's this one that does not count coz there's no talking involved.

Only thing i look forward to now is fellowship! haha... eventhough i should b looking foward to it no matter what anyways... and also saturday!... when i got no school... with no special plans... unless....

All the hmwk! i shouldn't b complaining in the first week, but still! SLEEP! GOOD! ok, i made my point about sleeping. g'nite!

Shortest post in a long while.

Supposed first day of school...

If you can call it that?

It was more of a registration day than anything… an hour in home form and we’re out. free to… get mad at the teachers we were given and the mistakes made by the people way up… Well home form was a surprise since it was a enriched math course I expected… not this much… half our class are people I would classify as really smart, people that make you say “huh?” and the other half are people that add the noise so as long as no one is moved, it should be a pretty fun year… this is without the actual point of the class, the school, the reason why they send you to school in the first place “to learn”; in this case “math”…

So with the not getting the courses I applied for, and not being notified at all that I did not get into them in the first place, it means that I have even more work to do before school has officially started, to get through the line of who knows how many people and get a chance to speak to a guidance couciler…As with “whats his name… umm, ummm… I think he went to Russia or something, or something about an English accent so its probably England… who knows? Name had something to do with a doctor, ah never mind…” while we sit at home bored with nothing to do, you’re out exploring the world… dont feel that bad, its fair, sort of...

please work *attempt 13

I hope my stars are good today, this net thing has been a bad expereince during this summer with multiple trials all failing. just five minutes ago i was dancing about getting stares as the owner went on teh computer beside me. i think he thought i had no money but the fact was that i had to pee but couldn't leave as there was no bathroom and i managed to long on to web messenger after an hour of trying. So here i am now with one week left of my trip and leaving out of the city of chennai for a round trip that will take the rest of the week. I get singled out pretty easily since i speak perfect english with a western accent and my tamil is perfect and unslanged. see, here, nobody speaks tamil properly, and its all cut up and heavily mixed with english. sometimes, well almost always, your have no idea what they're trying to say. all this even though tamil is the official language here and all the movies have it spoken perfectly, but its not like that here.

in the three weeks, i've suffered water shortages, throwing up in city streets twice on two seperate occasions, large rashes from scratching mosquitoe bites, being almost run over, car breaking down, stray dogs chasing me, and being mobbed by the poor for change. this country is seriously in the dumps, garbage is everywhere and states are in constant struggle with each other as there is no nationalism in this country. All this and the notion that i school starts tomorrow and i come back the 13th and get no chance to readjust slowly to school, and since i couldn't pick up my time table and my sister couldn't get it, i don't even know what my classes are for first semester. I'm really screwed up right now.

i get to escape from my problems as two wedding have been completed one my fathers side and we're now free to travel about and get out of the city and into the country side which is very beautiful. looking at garys pictures, i'm not the only one having fun, with these bastards forgetting me and having fun and going about with their guitars and daniels house and there adventures here and there and everywhere... it was sad because i couldn't comment on anything that was going on, all i could do was was observes the events from afar....

So my stay here is pretty much visiting the great temples of hindu religion agiing more that two thousand years. Non of them (except one but thats cuz people give millions to it because of the power it holds and how my dad jokes its where god is accepting bribes) are well kept with beggers everywhere and the priest pocketing have the money instead of spending it on keeping the temple together. I can't say much because politics are really bad here and people throw garbage everywhere and the lines on the road are for decoration. There will be three lanes and five vechiles going parallel with inches between them. traffic here is horrible but its amazing at how good peoples spacial awareness is.

Money is everything here and its plenitful for me since $1 = about 34 rupees (indian currency) and in india

255ml bottle of pop is 6 rupees
complete luxury meal for one is 150
train ticket is 10 rupees
internet cafe is 15 rupees per hour

well... i gotta go now, i hope this works..... this is most likely the only time i'll post.... so meh...... jon and gary have alot of talking to do.... does bastards

Last Summer Echo >>

Good morning! 'tis 12:13am rite now and this i guess is a final post of the summer until school starts... which is in 2 DAYZ! crazy! boooooooo... but summer wouldn't be as kool if school never started. It wouldn't be summer break without school... just wished that school and summer were reversed, but that ain't gonna happen.

So yah, first i shall recap what has happend since wednesday, then i'll recap my whole summer. Unlike other ppl, i don't keep a calender of wht i do, so this is all from memory.

So on wednesday, i woke up, did my daily routine, then went to school to register for the year. Paid my 40 dollars... (quickly realizes i've already posted about wednesday) ok... so... lalala. The next day, i had some test to do which took 'til 11. After that, unknownuser came over to my place, and we all went to... unknownuser's place... haha... ok... weird. Anywayz, yah, we spent half an hourish playing guitar again! hahaha! NEED A GUITAR!! (not for birthday present plz -twitches at some person- it'd b nice but i'd KILL u) -thinks- (not for christmas present either, same concequences apply). After half an hour of guitar, we went to daniel's place only to find that it takes us one and about half an hour to get there. The right bus did come before us, it's just that we didn't kno it was the correct bus to get on. Therefore we spent half an hour waiting for another correct bus. Darn Shepard bus! thought it was suppose to b fast! grr...! So yah, bought wendy's only to find Daniel's snack coulda filled us. Played for 2ish hours, then went home coz he forgot he had a doctor's appointment. Yup... he got shot. -wink-

Friday went to daniel's place again, took the same amount of time for some odd reason. But we got there faster coz we didn't stop at wendy's and walk for half an hour. Played 'til 5, then had to go to no frills to buy some ice cream. Then i went over to chun's place for the barbeque! (ok, i gotta use all the names now coz i got both school and church friend's reading this). It was vellie fun! One regret... i shoulda gelled my hair... LOL! no particular reason, it's just that i forgot to gel it that day... booo. lol! not that important, but i'm a dumb poster of blogs so whtever. Food was very filling... too filling in fact. Wasn't that energetic coz i was stuffed. I somewht learned how to play the intro to "what else can i do"! yah!!! but i haf bad memory so i forgot like half of it already. Plus, i haf no guitar! ='(. Yah... gonna miss all you grads! This year's fellowship was much more better than last years coz of all of u smt ppl! pressure on me now... dunno whether to say yay or booo...

ah... saturday i basically just rested and watched tennis all day.

Today... or technically yesterday, went to church, woke up too late so i couldn't go to english service. There was no sunday school so therefore i just sat/stood around talking. Went to yum cha... been a LONG time since i've done that. LONG! anywayz, yah, after, went to my first smt meeting. lol... even i was expecting the grad smt members to b there... and i wasn't even on smt. hahaha... booo. So yah, talked about stuff tht i'm too lazy to talk about, had dinner, talked about more stuff, did the first quarter program. 90% of the readers haf no idea wht i'm talking about... and so yah, i shall go tell about my summer. (sorry mat, but ur the only church friend i kno who's reading this, hahaha. apologies!)

So, recap of my summer... i forgot most of it.... ummm... went to downtown more than i did last year. Went to indigo a good number of times, eventhough i wanted to go ONCE more after my day camp but nooo... booooooo!!!! hm! wanted to buy a book. uh... spent 2 of my summer months with ms.hacker. good chunk of it... so yah... umm... that was fun! a lot of emotional rollercoasters but it was fun! Then i also had those mid-week activities which happend occasionally. lol. August was the most funnest month i had though! spending a lot of my time at church surrounded by my fellow christian friends make me so happy! lol! enjoyed every moment of that time ^^! Daycamp was a great experience as a teacher. Today i had one of my "students" cling on to me... haha, it was fine the first couple of seconds, but then i had to go... and she wouldn't let go! hahaha... it's all good though. But yah... it just felt good to serve at church. After 2 weeks of day camp, had arts camp. Not as much fun... but good experience anywayz. Don't think many enjoyed that week... hahaha. Still great fun though. After THAT, i had smt leadership...training...camp...! Great time camping! first time i ever went wild camping and it was great fun! learned how to fish...kinda! got to see pretty stars without the city lights destroying 'em. kool campfire! and yuuup... even sleeping was fun! lol! eventhough my right wrist started to hurt... but it was all in good fun. Using fun a lot coz August was just so GREAT!
Then after that had a few dayz for break, then i went to Tremblant, Quebec! Aw man... how fun was that! -whistles- I dunno how many ppl can tell how a person is feeling by their use of words and how they're typing things, but i'm getting tired from just thinking about all the fun i had this past month! Either that, or it's coz it's 12 49. Wow! Spent so much time typing... no rest or break at all. Feel sorry for all u readers. But yah, Tremblant was filled with action-packed fun! All the hiking and gondola taking... heeeeeeee! Just very sad how that month had to end. Oh man... if i had gone to hong kong this year and went to wonderland too, this summer woulda been a blast! There are things in this summer i wished i never did, but it's all part of the learning process. It just hurt a certain friendship...

So yah, would just like to say a final goodbye to all u grads! Eventhough only one grad would read this, lol. Yup, study hard all u university smart ppl! If you ever miss kyrios, u can always come back and help me in worship! lol! .........seroiusly... Yep! So now i got school and kyrios... a serious relationship chance? i don't think so...
This is very unusual of me to do this on this public blog coz i actually have another secret blog for me to do these things, but whatever, like many people read this anywayz. I just wanted to take this time to thank God for giving me to strength and courage to refuse the temptation of a relationship because if i didn't, i don't think i coulda handled everything all at once. And the kool thing is it was b4 i was confronted with the SMT thing so yah, He works in mysterious ways! ok, yah, i'm finished. U can stop skipping this paragraph now.

edited: this post was influenced by Tori's and Mat's blog. That's rite... i found yours!
edited: Drakonen thinks he's too KOOL to blog in india. Psh! He's too busy running over dogs!!! That's right, he'd rather run over dogs than blog! And then there's unknownuser... dum dum dum. Can't really say anything about M&M's coz he only posted like 4-5 times the entire time he was here. how many posts have we had now? TONNES! ok, i'm finished. Just because you're in India doesn't mean ur kooler!... well i guess it does... but thts not the point! I want a souvenir!!! ='(

je ne comprend pas

ok, i actually wrote a bit of this post in the morning b4, but then my computer went evil on me and so i had to restart it therefore all my work has been deleted! So yah, the beginning may b a lil' boring coz i wrote it b4 and writing it again seems a bit boring for me.

So yah! Ima back from Tremblant in Quebec, i didn't learn much french, but now i kno how important that language is for travelling purposes. It all began one day at 6 30 when i woke up... thts too early. Ok, so it all started at 8 when we all met together, had our last washroom breaks (yet we needed another washroom break half an hour later) and we arrived to our destination at 6:30! yay... of course there was a lunch break and a lot of rest stops but it's all good. We got our rooms, unpacked, went down for dinner, i ate something that i was not suppose to eat but i live so it's ok. After dinner, we went out to explore our surroundings... or the community. It was such a nice site, such pretty lights ^^. Trying to keep this as simple as possible leaving out some details but it's ok coz i don't want this post to b super long and i don't haf time coz i need to sleep soon. That was basically day one; also took a shower, gambled with points, and watched close to 0.5 of a chinese...soap... episode.

Ok so, day 2. Mood wasn't all that good in the morning, but i was fine near the start of the afternoon. Had a lotta fun going up and down and up..and down... and etc... in those... ski lift like things i forget wht u call them coz i'm very forgetful... gondola! yes... (i actually knew the word, just had to check in dictionary to make sure it was right). ummm... yah! Very amusing, and it was very foggy in the morning so everything seemed like a ghost town! SO AWESOME! -sighz- so ok, then we went hiking, ate lunch, told ppl 'bout hiking, went hiking again for 1 hour and fifteen minutes with crazy picture taking time( i think i left something out, but doesn't matter, only one person reading this post would kno other than me) went on the luge which was amusing, but the kids passing me just got me mad! just coz i way more, haha (my excuse). Umm... went back to the hotel, met up for dinner, went mini golfing which was also fun but won't elaborate on stuff coz i'm too lazy =P (and i don't want ppl reading to b jealous! mwahaha! jkz... haha...) Ok, so i'll just end this day with me sleeping.

Third day, main highlights, walking back and forth from the beach, tennis (first time playing in a long time! so hot... and fun), beach, skipping rocks, dinner (yummy? hehe, red wine, i wasn't drunk), and sleep! I'd say more details, but some ppl just think their summer was super great so i'll just keep quiet and let them dream on! jkz... haha... partly.

day four, mmm... hiking! tiring, but also fun! nice view, fresh air, it's all healthy. And then 8ish hours in a car again with lunch breaks and rest stops (not as much as the trip to tremblant... i don't think). After arriving in toronto, we ate dinner, n yah. A few other highlights of the trip... someones interesting looking cards which reminds me, i haf to start downloading an anime... and then there was also the "something smells good... i think that's smoke (cigarette)... oh whoops" or something like that. This is why i don't put details, coz i might b wrong.

Today! registration, i'd tell u wht i haf this semester but that'd b too easy so tough luck! After, i made a bank account with td bank, hahaha! i just wanted to cash in my check, but i came out of the bank with an account so whtever. My first bank card! i'm so happy. I'm gonna go admire it all day. After, i went to unknownuser's place to study for the g1 written test. I shall not tell u when i'm taking it coz if i fail, i can still say i didn't take it yet. After a few hours of studying, we spent more hours playing the guitar! Since i'm obsessed with guitars now due to my many camps. Well basically one of my camps but it started and it grew on me so now i find myself playing sadness and sorrow from naruto on the guitar. yuuup... thanx a lot, wht great friends i haf.

I'd also like to add that whenever i go to unknownuser's place, i haf a mind to not eat dinner at his place, but somehow, someway, i end up eating there anywayz! -twitches- it's like impossible! Only thing i can do to repay them is to wash their dishes, hahaha. washing dishes... so funny... since i don't really do much of that at home, but do a lot of that out of my house. k, i'm pretty done now, u can return to ur lives. And side note: i don't re-read or proof read my posts, so yah, many rambling and improper engrish. g'nite ppl!

Edit: many pictures to come!

It draws nearer...

Christmas!…
As school draws nearer and nearer, the things on my to do list… are still there… Another week spent doing not much of anything, yet things still happened, and time passed by…

learned that the minimum age for the g1 test doesn’t change like some people said it would, found g1test.com, disappointed that I probably could have finished the course needed to become a fully certified lifeguard this week but far too lazy to register and actually go on with it, , a very lazy week.

Bowling

Probably my first time since playing with 5 pins, a ball ½ the size, and with those little blue things so your ball can never go into the gutter, which was a very very long time ago… went with a few friends someday last week (all the days are the same to me now, don’t really have a concept of what day it is unless i’m looking at a calander) and realized how bad we were, all 3 of our scores added together made a still pretty below-average bowler if that tells you anything… * how do you get the ball to spin like they do it on tv? From just spinning but still going straight to spinning off countless times into the gutter, we didn’t make much progress with it… all in all bowling is hard.


and once again realized how close summer holidays are coming to an end…

Onto Leadership

I wouldn't like to start off with this, but i will. I am very disappointed -shakes head and index finger in disappointment- I go wild camping for 3-4 dayz, expecting a lot of new posts, new anime episodes, but no, none of that happened. The one thing i look forward to when i come home... and it's not there. It saddens me tsk tsk.

Anywayz, yah. I'm very tired from going wild camping. First time i ever slept in a tent, but it was very fun. The guys tent was dirty inside with grass, so... not inviting. There were a LOT of spiders outside and a lot of bees and flies n other insects. So annoying! I saw a spider rite beside me and i had to kill it with someone else's sleeping bag. For those who don'g read this blog, i wrote b4 that i'd go camping coz i was gonna become one of the leaders of my fellowship; which is a very huge responsibility. School, then planning for fellowship stuff. Talk about full and tiring dayz, but i'm sure it'll b fun and exciting. Just don't give me anything to worry about such as relationships and i'll be fine. Wht stress...

Sunday, went to our youth pastor's place to sleep over b4 we go camping. Stayed up to 2 playing video games and eating and talking. Then spent another hour to 3 just talking while sleeping. Guys and girls in the same room sleeping (but clearly divided. Girls in couch area, guys... on the open floor). All the guys were trying to sleep while the girls had their "girl talks" which disturbed the guys sleeping coz we were all in the same room! "So that's how it's like to sleep with girls... "
We were talking about random stuff, throwing random animals blindly (as in just throwing stuffed animals in the air and c who it hits coz couches block the view of both genders).

Monday, woke up at 6 (3 hours of sleep) coz of the sunlight and the guys just went straight to video games while some girls watched and others continued sleeping. At 8 we had breakfast and started repacking our stuff to go camping. We crammed all our luggage into one van (luggage of 12 ppl, approx. 2 bags per person); the whole back window was blocked but it didn't matter coz the van didn't have a rear view mirror newayz, haha... dangerous. So yah.. we headed off to balsam lake which is an hour and a half drive from here. Arrived there around 2. We set up our tents, but none of us knew how to set it up. The person who brought it knew but he wanted us to figure out how to do it ourselves since we're suppose to b "leaders" but he ended up helping us... and tearing whtever u did b4 down coz it was wrong. It was tiring but so fun. I got pictures, but too lazy to put them out rite now. We ate filipino food coz both counsellors were filipino which was kool coz one of my friends doesn't understand much chinese, so the counsellors would speak whtever their language is, and we would speak cantonese (i'd b quite quiet) and my friend would not understand anyone of us (we would do this on purpose, much more funnier). After, we went to the beach area, some went fishing, some just talked and played tag (me). I had to cook dinner that day (me cooking... haha) with someone else and we made fried marinated chicken and fried pasta. So nice! Tasted good, but i think some weren't cooked well enough. We made camp fire after and just started talking and playing games around the camp fire. Then ppl took showers at 2 30 while others were just too tired and slept (me), but we still stayed up 'til the ppl taking showers came bak coz they wake us up when they get into the tent.

Yesterday we ate danishes and scrambled eggs and sausages. It tasted goooood, but i was on clean up duty that day and it was so greesie! We played a few group games after and started to make lunch (breakfast at 11 and lunch at 1). We ate tacos! mmm... yummy! it was so filling. All the food during camp was filling. Anywayz, after lunch we went down to the beach again. Some took a shower, i just washed my hair coz it was itchy and was so annoying! We were gonna go paddle boating but we were too late. I went fishing that day! ooo... i caught 2 fish! but they were two small to eat; one of them was almost big enough, but was just under the eating line... lucky fish. There was also a fish that ate one of our counsellor's bait AND hook, which caused our counsellor to b mad so we all helped him try to catch that fish. haha, spent half an hour trying to catch that one fish (it was just under the docks eating our bait, smart fish!) We ran out of worms and it was starting to get cold so we headed bak to camp. We ate dumplings and other hot pot food for dinner! It was nice... such healthy and delicious food! After, we had another campfire, but b4 we lit up the fire, we all looked at the stars which looked soooo pretty coz there wasn't much lights there. It was mostly a rural area so not much lights. If we didn't haf flashlights, it would b pitch black! Scary! I thought up of scary stuff but some girls didn't wanna hear it so i stopped. There was also some shadow performances, but that'll take too long to describe. So yah, roasted marshmellows that day, had glow sticks and sparklers. So amazing! I took a shower that day (hehe) so yah, it was freeezing that day too! I could c my breath. We talked about the leadership stuff n other stuff concerning the fellowship, but that doesn't go in this post. (ps. slept at approx. 2 30)

Today, woke up at 9 35ish i guess. I started using this lighter to burn spiders and bees. it was fun, but the insects deserved it! kept on bothering us and touching our food! but i felt sorry for the lil' insects... and arachnids. newayz! we had brunch which was grilled sandwiches; it tasted great! i'm gonna try that at home... after we started cleaning up and packing our stuff to go home which took about an hour or two. Taking down the tents... so sad coz we spent so much time constructing it, destroying it was just that much harder... and that much faster. So yah, we went to the beach one last time, took some group pictures, skipped some rocks and we were off to Toronto! uh... thts about it. Details were left out coz the post would b too long. But not much details were left out so don't worry.

My Week

*trying out Blogger for WordSo what has happened since I last posted? I don’t even remember the last time I posted, if that says anything…The very long Poker Night… -What was supposed to be a night spent playing poker and sleeping over when we finally got tired turned into us getting bored with poker very quickly and us not sleeping at all, by this I mean we were up so late that it was bright outside and we could walk home. Poker went til midnight by that time, almost half the people that were there had to leave taking the number down to about 5, then somewhere between there and 6am there was a long game of risk that didn’t end as we played the mission version, and nobody could complete their mission because they were too far away from where they had to be so that ended in a draw; random games which got weirder and weirder as the night went on (or was it us?) and by the time 6ish came along which all of us were still wide awake (“We chose to blame the amounts of pop everyone drank”) we were pretty much having the same effects of drugs without actually taking them? Attempting to walk home was “Is that a person, no wait it’s a fire hydrant” by some… Which was followed by: The only one -Then on Friday, there was that big rainstorm/tornado/loud noises/I was in the basement and I could hear it. So things going along fine til boom! Power’s out. Wait for it to turn back on, and then wait some more… and this lasted for 6~7 hours?? Reminders of the black out last year, which would have been fine… EXCEPT after talking to other’s and realizing how I was the only one who had their power go out, and nothing happened to them except one 1sec blackout. Which then was still not bad enough: Filling buckets of water -No I wasn’t at the sink with a bucket of water turning it on, I was literally on the ground with a towel in my basement transferring water all over my basement *carpet to a bucket, and all I had to do it was a towel. Must have filled at least one whole bucket just with water all over the ground, one bucket does not seem like a lot but when you have wrung 834709238745984365 towels to get it, its a lot…

From 20 to 2 or 120

First, i must say, i've waited a week so someone could post so i wouldn't have to post twice in a row. But now i've given up on waiting coz it's boring and i'm beginning to forget wht happend this past week.

Well, arts/music camp was not as hectic for me as it was during the normal daycamp, but that's a bad thing for the campers coz me not doing as much means they're not doing as much. For 4 dayz, the schedual has been the same... repeating the same thing day after day...after day... it got pretty boring. Also, i was tired for the past 2 weeks and haven't been getting much sleep so i got a little sick. Then now it has accumulated and now i am sick and i still got lotz of other things to do this month. But i'm glad i got other stuff to do, so yah, whtever.

The sched. is usually like this except for friday, morning kids come in, we do half an hour of worship, kids split off to do choir stuff for an hour and a half, then they all split up to their electives (recorder, violin, art, guitar) for an hour and then lunch. After lunch they have recreation time where me and other staff ppl plan out games for them to play for an hour, then they split off to their afternoon electives and they do that for about an hour, then they take a washroom break, haf snack, then they go watch a video while parents come and pick them up one by one. yup... seems full but it gets a bit too routine after a while.

I helped out in the art section eventhough i wanted to help in the guitar section so i could learn something too, but oh well. Art was fun i guess; they made bags, baskets (i made one too but they threw it out coz maybe they thought it was garbage or something), drew pictures and made stuff out of popsicle sticks.

Yesterday was the most KOOLEST day ever! lol. We did everything we did the past four dayz up to the choir stuff. Then we went bowling! hahaha, i got to spin the ball! But i had to go to 5 pins coz i had to help look after the little kids. The bumper is so kool... but one of them didn't work! so annoying! The middle part of the left bumper had a little problem so the bowling ball would go into it. I was the first one to do that too... which was embarassing and frustrating! But then after bowling, it was raining so hard! like most of everyone should know. It took us 20 minutes to get there from church... it took us 2 hours to get bak to church... or 120 minutes. 2 hours on a bus with kids! I can't believe most of them were still energetic! some ppl were taking a nap; i wanted to but then some staff were taking pictures of ppl sleeping so i couldn't sleep or else i'd get a picture taken of me. It was so interesting though! we could see cars in wht we called "lakes" coz the water was just sooo deep! -sighz- floods are just so kool. But the ride was so... ahhhh! yah.... i see a sign that says "steeles 1 km" on the highway and that would normally b like "yes! 1 km to go" but yah, that turned out to b not so true as it took us nearly an hour to actually get to through that 1 km. After we got to steeles, we were just 1 main road away to our final destination... it took us an hour to get there too! But that might of been coz of something else which may take too long to explain.

This post is getting too huge so i'll just brief up stuff with no details. So, arrived bak at church at 6 when we were supposed to b bak by 4 20 and kids were to b picked up by 5. Got dinner with friends, talked, went to fellowship (very fun and hilarious), went bak home, no electricity (grrr) slept at 11 listening to borrowed cd from friend which i'm listening to now too.

Ok! The only free days i have are next thursday and friday. One of those days we have to go take our driving test!!! sheesh...

day camp over, arts camp started

hello everyone! Omgosh! M&m's posted without us threatening him to! -sniffs- wht a happy moment.

Anywayz! Wednesday! went to the world of circus, got embarassed, won't say how. It was raining that day too, but it was pretty ok. After camp was over, my partners and I went to party packagers to buy some gifts for our kids since every grade did it. IT WAS SO KOOL THERE! I dunno if it was my first time going there, i don't remember, but OH MAN! I am soooo going there again. Maybe once before school starts, another before halloween. They have such neat stuff there... -sighz- I bought one thing there just for me, and so did my other friend. We bought the same thing at the same time, hahaha... ok, i'm getting crazy. Yah... each kid got a 3 dollar max amount of gifts. So, we bought the boys footballs, girls bubble...maker... stuff where u dip and blow? and then for boys and girls, we bought each of them those surprise candy bags, stickers, and glow in the dark dinosaurs! I might b forgetting one item, but that's just coz i woke up from my nap and i'm not thinking straight.

Thursday, went swimming! it was a bit more fun than last time, the water was a bit warmer but i was still cold. It was also more tiring, maybe it was coz all my tiredness built up during the whole two weeks. but yah, that's how it all went down. I can't really remember the details of my days. Oh rite! After camp was pretty fun too. First i had this workshop/meeting i attended. Then after we bought dinner, someone got me this spicy... food... and my mouth was like SO red! Like, u can see so many hot peppers in there! IT WAS SO KOOL! Anywayz, i didn't have lunch that day but a coffee crisp so i was mad hungry. *my vocab now has a "mad" in some phrases thanx to the people i've been hanging out with* I couldn't finish my dinner though but i put it in my bag and then we all went to good shepherd church... since they had this program there. It was so nice. I was literally singing my lungs out coz two times i felt my lungs about to just come out of my throat since i was singing so loud. It was tiring. It also wasn't that wise of a choice since i do yell during day camp and i still had one more day to go. But so kool and fun at that program! Praise and prayer for the poor in toronto.

Friday, very tiring, so it was good that yesterday was also very easy. Start off the day as usual, not that anyone here knows what usual is. After their lunch, we started this carnival thing. Had like 17 stations u rotated to; 8 teams; 10 people each team approximately. I did the tug of war! So fun! First two groups facing each other wasn't that exciting coz the other team won so fast. Best out of 5. Every group that faced off each other won all three in a row. But the last few teams had a little excitement. It took them awhile to win but i woulda liked to see the teams actually having like one team win, then the other team win, and so on. Anywayz! For lunch, we had this spicy chilli! And i couldn't even finish anything! I didn't finish the rice, didn't finish my coke, nor my bubble tea. I was so mad! but it was coz the spicy stuff really killed my stomach so i couldn't eat or drink anything else. I couldn't even eat dinner. I'm going on a spicy food diet now, trying not to eat spicy stuff. Bad for my stomach, haha.
After, dinner with all the day camp staff (i didn't order anything) we all went to fellowship. I had to help sing that day. It was pretty intense, but at the end of the day, at the end of fellowship, all the day camp staff that was still there made a pyramid! haha! first time i actually went on one. I think i shoulda been at the bottom since i was pretty heavy. I was on the second level and the first level people i was on was dying, haha. It was so fun.

Today, i just watched the grudge... and t.v. And that's basically it... haha. Mostly resting too for me since i got one more week to go. Next week is arts camp week where kids learn to play instruments and draw and sing. I think i already said this on my other post. So yah... after that week is over, i might go on a camping trip with the leaders of my fellowship group coz I might be one of the leaders next year... me... leading... ha...ha... (i'm a bad leader). But yah, i mite give it a try. Then after that camping trip that takes up sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday, i get thursday and friday off (except for night... fellowship), then after that on saturday, sunday, and monday i think... i'm going off to montreal for my parent's fellowship... camping trip. Full month of doing stuff! mostly... so yah. Zats all!

Quiet ,(pause)... too quiet?

with the removal of one of the very very few members of our blogger team for the remainder of the summer, and with echoes who probably has double the number of everyones total posts busy all day with little kids, it'll most likely be me talking to me and echoes posting whenever he can...
so what's new? piano exam coming up soon, so alot of time spent there, still have the g1 test to do as draknonen didnt get a chance to do it, thinking about more swimming lessons...
so much to do, so much time, yet i dont have the will to do it...
this week, tried playing tennis with others under 30degrees celcius weather, we didn't last long...
tomorrow is supposed to be "paintballing" ow...

8 Hours to kill

Probably my last post that I'll make for a long time, or ever depending on who has a computer in India and how much internet cafes cost. So everything is packed. I would've pacled it this morning to have something to do but my mom made me do it last night. At least I still have Jon's books to give back (face it... unknownuser is just too long and U.U. messes with the spell check). I studied everything, including the novel, but I can't use what I studied and I don't have time to take my g1. My mom won't even give me the money to do the test. I think Echoes (yes Jon, its not fair) has already left to feel the wrath of eight year old half size people in the name of his Church and the parents who want to get the kids off their hands.

postless for a week?

Whoe... this is like one of the longest times i've been without posting. I'm shocked!... anywayz

Yah... so the science centre was pretty kool. But i'd like to go WITHOUT the lil' kids following me or me having to chase lil' kids around. I'd also like to go somewhere due to my own curiosity and actually pay attention to the science centre stuff instead of making sure that no kids are missing and that they're all behaving. Coz we only went to the sport section of level D lol, like anyone knows wht i'm talking about. And also the kidspark with a lil' time devoted to the exploration of the universe.

Friday, animals were brought in by people and we all looked at them. They were kool eventhough we didn't get to see all the animals. Still kool and cute. Then my friends and I went to a barbeque for our small groups for fellowship. It was SOOO filling! like WOW! Roasted marshmellows, ate a burger, then a salad, then a lil' chicken burger, then strawberry ice cream. I couldn't even finish all my salad. so full!

Saturday, a nice hacker treated me to lunch... a big lunch. So thankful for that! mmm... sushi. Also trapped a bee inside my root beer can which was like 3/4 FULL. But i didn't wanna drink it after the bee landed on it, so yah. Once it went inside, we trapped it in with tissue. It's mean and cruel i kno... but if i let it free, i woulda DIED. so yah. too young to die.

Not much for sunday. Just set up our rooms for monday's day camp.

Yesterday, went mini putting/golfing just in case i spelled putting wrong. It was so fun, tiring, and SO HOT! Like WOW! in the sun for 2 hours with lil' kids running around and having to shout for them to hear me and stop. But fun. One of my kids got a nose bleed during the bus ride there, it was the most busy bus ride i had. There were like 4 teachers including me on ONE kid. haha. One person to hold the ice pack, one to hold her nose, one wiping her hands, and one to supply the materials to wipe the hands (me, it was a tough job, i had like 4 bags on me getting ppl's ice packs from their lunches to stop the nose bleed, and first aid kit to get wet naps). It was so kool.... lol. Seed destiny finally came out with an episode that DIDN'T ruin my day like last week when it had that darn recap thing. That just RUINED my WHOLE day! horrible! who puts an episode that recaps everything at the end of the rising action, near the peek of the climax? HUH? WHO? TERRIBLE! it's like someone spending 20 days trying to tell someone they like them and then rite b4 the day that something may actually happen, they go "so this is wht happend in the last 20 dayz" LIKE WE KNOW!!! NOW SHOW US THE GOOD PART! -shakes head-

Today wasn't that spectacular. Kinda not that great, but not that horrible. I gave into a kid's crying which resulted in me piggy backing her which broke a promise made to my partners which was not to piggy back anyone today. There's more to it but i'm too tired to type it all. So yah, deal with it. Now i'm here eating cookies and typing to u good people. goodbye now!

This post may b unorganized due to me listening to music and typing at the same time. Which may mean that some parts of this may not make sense or are rambling coz i lost my attention span and started listening to music while typing. ^^

The mystery of M&M...

Trying to find M&M, I see him on msn and try to contact him... but what do i get? random comments such as "I am lando", " I am an annoying little girl named Amy\" , "I fell gay", ... now i started to doubt whether this was M&M on drugs or whether it was actually someone else on his account?? ... trying to get one answer out of him I kept talking... and due to very slow replys, it wasted probalby an hour of my life... and the most annoying part was that i couldn't figure out who i was talking to because it seemed like there were a 930847698034 million different people talking, one time it'd be a guessing smart person using complicated words, other times it seemed like a child talking, and other times it seemed like the actual M&M saying stupid things he'd normally say... haha no offense... and then it spun of into *person* finally saying that they weren't M&M but actually his long lost sister who was the same age as him, yet they werent twins... what??
It turns out after finally talking to the real M&M, that he supposedly has guests over, which he didn't tell me about before we even started this stupid conversation. Two sisters which have no relation to him at all... one SEVEN year old and one SEVENTEEN year old... and that M&M was actually knew that they were talking on his account and he let them... such a big waste of time *shakes head*...

thank god its day....

I decided to kill time and download F.E.A.R. the game demo and play it since it had nice graphics and my computer can handle it and it seemed to have a pretty good buzz around it even though the game isn't out yet. I played it, and I haven't been as scared as I am now for a long time. Hell, I'm friggen down right terrified. (Twitch) its has a little girl in it like from the ring and some canabalistic maniac and with all the darkness and atmosphere and random nightmares..... (twitch) My sister was freaked out when she saw it over my shoulder....

Anyways, I duno what I'm gonna do for my drivers license since I still haven't read through the book and I should have done the test by this weekend and I leave in four days and if I don't do it, I just hope echoes and unknown go ahead without me.

Speaking of Unknown, he lent me his Harry Potter Half Blood Prince. For the second last book in the series, this book is seriously one of the better ones so far, but I can't help but wait for the finally since this book sets up the ending and if you haven't read it, THAN HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA for missing so much. Well, I have something to look forword to by this time next year unless J.K. Rowling decides we're not worthy and its funnier to make us wait even longer and just laughs at our face on live on television. Actually, that would be kind of cool and then there'll all these teens and little kids with the urge to kill. No, wait, did I say that was good.... because its actually bad... evil... scary....

I have returned...

I have returned...

A dark and stormy afternoon it appeared to be from afar, water rushing, fires raging, jumbled screams being heard in the distance, people running.

Actually that’s what would have happened if I came back a day later and somehow came back from France? (who knows why I would do this but…)

Monday morning 6am here 3am back in Sanfransico, bright and early, we arrived back in Toronto… with me not having slept at all, and still not appearing tired. So as soon as I got home I attempted to catch up with friends on msn but slowly things began to become slower and slower as I lasted til 10am here or 7am without sleeping at all throughout the night… When it finally kicked in… I was forced to sleep, waking up somewhere before nighttime thus ending my first day back…

Well back to the trip which I was supposed to post an incredibly long post about… which probably wont be nearly as long as I think it will be by the end of it… to be continued?

Edit:

Japan for five days
Covered a bit of this on the random days that I was able to post


50 million workers and 10 customers
I don’t know if I went at the wrong time but every store probably had more people working there than the number of customers, meaning most of the workers were just standing around or outside shouting stuff in Japanese and handing out tissues with advertisement on it… the food section in the department stores had to have at least 100+ workers there just standing around handing out samples…


You know those packs of tissues you buy for a dollar? Well they hand it out for free in Japan

Collected at least 20+ of those… and this is supposed to be advertisement? Who looks at the back of the pack and can read Japanese anyways.


Arigato Gozaimasu

Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu, Arigato Gozaimasu meaning thank you very much, I have heard this phrase so many many times that’s while I have learned a new word in a week, it can get to be annoying…


Macdonalds Terriaki Burger
Tastes like the sausages they serve at breakfast only in a bun and flattened into a patty (I wonder…)


Malaysia for ten days
Family food, and more food and family…
- everyone there thinks that all of Canada’s police rides horses like the rcmp
- they only know Canada from postcards, Toronto is identified by its C.N Tower
- think Canada is really, really cold, when it was probably hotter in Toronto when I was there in Malaysia.

Typical Day
Met new relatives for the first time, eat, and if we had time a bit of shopping and sightseeing (not much since it was on a small island), maybe one modern mall?


The Capital of Malaysia KL (2 days in between there)
”The worst city for traffic ever”…
Most of the streets are one way so you have to actually go around in circles following the one way just to get to a place which you normally could have gotten to by just turning a few times… Two lane streets with half of them being motorbikes and not even following the rules of taking up a lane but just going in between cars and on the outside of them… and the traffic at night? An hour to get about three blocks away…

Getting Sick
Getting Sick in a foreign country… not good… I had to be taxied to the hospital at 1am in the morning… The hospital was fairly empty as it was one in the morning, so they let me in fairly quickly… They said it was a chest infection… who knows, didn’t take the xrays… Anyways with all the painkillers and antibiotics they gave me, I got better… painkillers are scary though because they do actually “take the pain away completely” and completely numb the area that the needle was in…

San Fransisco for last 3 days
One aunt who lived there, took us around showed us the city...
- its probably colder there than it is for most of the time in Canada
- saw the golden gate bridge, some other areas and things that people have probably not heard of…

Skimpy posts but there wasn’t all that much to talk about without revealing too much. So all in all, not the most exciting or things to talk about trip but it was defiantly an eyeopener…

favours

Good evening people, well for me since i dunno when ur gonna read this.

So, today was realli tiring, and tomorrow will b even more tiring. Today, daycamp still... we went to the park and i forgot to wear sunscreen, but i borrowed someone else's so it was ok.
Umm... yah, same ol' bad kids, but i think they behaved a little better than yesterday, maybe it's
due to the many many talks from the "adult" counsellors. I've been told to be firmer and agressives so the kids may listen, but i'm not much of an agressive/strict type. I don't want the kids to not have fun... but it looks like i'm gonna haf to start sending the bad ones outside to the hallways for a time-out.
Went swimming today at miliken mills, had so many childhood memories there from my past summer school. I was a camper then, now i'm a counsellor/teacher. So many things have changed.

So yah... really tired from doing all this work coz maybe i'm not used to it yet. Babysitting 10ish kids for 8 hours everyday. It's fine if it's the higher grades i guess... but when it's the lower grades like my gr.2's, it's like working out for hours. They like to sit on ur lap, want piggy back rides, just a lot of body contact that relies on me having to actually work some muscles. Letting a kid "fly" by them hanging on to one of my arms and me lifting them up with one arm. -sighz- So please, -situation deleted due to a lot of second thoughts-

Going to the science center tomorrow... all day... with kids. I'll still try to make some of my appointments with ppl, but please understand wht my situation is. I can just see wht one is thinking "oh yah, i understand, it's ok, u don't have to if u don't want to" ... sarcasm -sighz- then "really, it's ok, i'm not being sarcastic". This can go on... -deleted as well, i have to type this coz i don't wanna re-type my whole post again. Sorry for those who did not read it. All i kno is unknownuser read it... and eventhough he did read it, i don't think he understood most of it haha. Enjoy his post newayz though, he's kool.-

Ok, my personal thoughts are done i guess. Just haf a lot of stress and thoughts going on, so nvm! everything is just jumbled. welcome bak unknownuser, time to post?

Swimming in a storm...

So the from last Friday to last Sunday I spent all day eating, sleeping, and reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This, while the rest of the world was reading the sixth book. I just decided that I'd reread the fifth to get the story refreshed in my head while I waited for someone to finish the sixth book so I can borrow it. Well now I'm done, and can't stop thinking about what the hell happens in the sixth book.

I was lucky enough to go out of this mood of role playing things in my head when I went to the beach with all my cousins and uncles and aunts on Monday. It was probably the most fun I had all summer, and its already half done. I've never actually gone swimming with my family, which I can understand why because only me, my sister, dad and all three uncles knew how to swim. Everyone else walked. But it wasn't a problem since Markham beach is pretty shallow for about 500m from shore. I would have gone further if the water wasn't so dirty since you can't see that far under water. That, and the wind was picking up and the current got stronger the further you got out. This was all fine until I went out a third time (I think I think I was in the water for at least 5 hours all together). It rained, and not like a little shower, it rained hard with thunder and lightning while I was swimming with my uncles. It was weird, since getting above the water mean feeling the wrath of the hard rain and going under meant holding you breath. It was the first time anybody swam in the rain, and my moms family grew up on an island with their house not far from the beach. Swimming in the rain is definitely A.... Well... Its just beautiful, assuming your not drowning.


The rain didn't last so long, so we went back to shore when it died down and cooked some food on the barbecue. This is when things went wrong because screams came from the beach when some old guy struggled out of the water and collapsed on the sand. There was no life guard but somebody knew what they were doing when they turned the guy over on his side. I don't know what happened to him except that he was still alive, struggling to breathe, and had a lot of blood running out of his nose and ears. The ambulance came after about ten minutes. I felt so bad not only for the old man with the crowd watching around him, but also because I could've done something. I knew exactly what to do, but I didn't do it. I dunno why I didn't do anything, probably because there was already one person doing something right, but everyone else was messing him up which meant I should have helped him and yet I didn't. Does that make me a bad person? I fell like it does.


So on a lighter note, Unknown is back, apparently got sick at one point and his family forgot/ left his sister in the hotel room, or so my sister tell me who knows Unknown's sister well which I how I found out he even got back since we're all the greatest friends he ever had to make sure to check up on him. Now that makes me feel even worse that before, I can't talk about that anymore....


Lets see.... Things to remember.... I leave on the 11th for India, come back on the 13th of September but I'm trying not to tell my friends at school so I just happen to show up one day at school. An Air France Airbus A340 crashed after it skidded of the runway at Pearson airport. Everyone survived, few had minor injuries. Of course, after the public inquiry and all the lawsuits for lost/destroyed luggage.... Time will tell....

Update

Hey ppl, start of the last month of summer holidayz. Hope everyone reading this is having fun or had fun or will have fun...
I just found out that the last post title was the song title! I even found the lyrics and guitar cords and stuff... now i just need to kno how to play the guitar. Either that or get my mom to play it on the piano or something.

So wht's been happening... well i found out that someone wasn't actually in ottawa like they said they were but they were actually at home all weekend and didn't tell me. So u kno, i spent the whole weekend being bored like usual.

Monday I went to a daycamp meeting at 10, then i had to go with my parent's and their (church) friends to some place in guelph where we saw native houses n stuff and went hiking on trails. yah... It was pretty fun, but I did have other plans b4 this, plans that were made about a month ago... feel so bad that i had to cancel... now i got someone mad at me! yay...?
Yah... but i had to go coz me and my daycamp group members were so dis/unorganized that i had to go with my parents to that place coz one of my group members went too. It was somewhat productive and nature was nice but i got 4 mosquito bites from that and now it ITCHES!

Today, woke up at 7 30, went to daycamp at 8 15. Did super last minute/second room set ups and the day began. It was terrible! The kids were SOOOO energetic! waaah! The two head counsellors (i guess thts wht i'd call them) had to come in to lecture my whole class coz they were SOOO noisy! They just wouldn't listen to us. They used their outdoor voices indoors. Now i know how my teachers must of felt when they said "use ur indoor voices!" i feel their pain.
The gr.2 girls were pretty quite and nice 'cept for one hyperactive one but ALL the boys were CRAZY! It was so disturbing too! There were 3 guys in ONE stall! WASHROOMS DON'T WORK OUT THAT WAY! And there were a lot of other things but oh well, not gonna bother u with such disturbing thoughts. I was so tired at the beginning of the day though coz i didn't get enough sleep... so i was SUPER tired at the END of the day! and SOOOO hungry! After i returned the movie we borrowed for drakonen's birthday, i went through agincourt mall just staring and looking at food. I wanted to buy some, but i told myself i couldn't... at least not 'til tomorrow! mwahahaha! k, tired now, g'nite ppl.
