it has been one sweet christmas. tons of food. tons of family times.
i seriously swear, i gained a lot of weight ever since i moved back home. =S

a night i will never forget.. - according to ira halim

i just realized i been home for almost a week! =) anyway... ira came over to sleep over last night because marilyn went back to waterloo. due to the fact that we had way too many vistors over for the holiday seasons... ira was placed in the living room.. (which i found out later that it will also be my room for a short while) but ira being an ira... she made me sleep in the living room with her... (which seriously didn't made a huge difference because i been sleeping on air mattress ever since i got home.. =S
while i was complaining to ira that she made me sleep in the living room.. she replied "this is a night you will never forget..."
anyway... the rest of the family is starting to arrive... and alex is bringing my new muimui shoes! =)

Lilian's Snow Storm

due to the fact that we are under CRAZY winter storm.. and we were suppose to be expecting up to 30cm of snow... none of us went out today.. that means no yum cha.. no church.. no nothing...
but it was really fun.. family members started dropping by at like 10... and by 2ish in the afternoon, we were having Wii tournaments... and then we had book talks, politics talk and blahblahblah...
and we had hot pot again for dinner!! it was really fun snow day... if i am at school.. i will be missing out on these things.. like certain individuals who got our loving phone calls..

something happened... and it's not a good thing... hopefully it will have a good turn out...

1 great lesson in life.. *ahem*

ira is the best..
ira rules...

i learned those today
what a great lesson in life

i been very proud of myself... i actually got up and ate breakfast 4 times in the past week!!!!
once at mcdonalds..
once at timmies
once at burger king
once at home! =)

its 9am... for the past 24 hours.. i slept more than 15 hours... and i woke up at 7!!
since i never wake up this early.. i decide to treat myself for mcdonalds breakfast... which needless to say - it taste amazing!!! =)

8 more days

i want to sleep... but there's still work to be done... what is wrong with this world... what is wrong with me not finishing all the work? i feel like i am putting so much stress on myself...

btw... when will it stop snowing?

I really should be doing my essay, but I decided to google my favorite politican of all time. My favorite politican is Chris Pattern. He was the last governor of Hong Kong before HK was returned back to China.
For me personally, Pattern had opened the doors of numerous of political debate in my life. For example, the airport in HK. A lot of people had been there and they have to say it was EXTREMELY pretty. But when Pattern first declare they were going to build an airport, he was opposed by EVERYONE. He made a promise to leave a certain amount of money in reserve for the future(current) SAR government. He accomplished that goal by providing a fund that was 10 times what the Chinese government demanded. He was the first politican I pay very close attention to as a child. He was the first politican I can call by name. I watched him swore his office. My father designed his house. Chris Pattern had made a dramatic influence in my life.
As a child, I had the luck.. to meet him a few times. He would show up at the most random places eating the most random food - ranging from Chinese herbal tea to egg tarts.
2 of my all time favorite memories of him will be...
1. watching him gaining weight every single time he's on tv when he's in office
2. when he cried on that very very wet night on july 1, 1997

i had left hk around the same time he did, and i have to say he is still my favorite politican.


on a funnier note, there had been many numerous times he had said when he was send to HK as a governor, he was not impressed. but he grew to love that city and being the governor of HK had became his favorite job in his life and it was what shaped him as a person.

wow.. everyone is getting engage lately...

i know this is not a smart thing to do... but i am still doing it

this is my xmas plan.. i know its empty in comparison to other years.. but i still have tons of time to fill them in!!

i want to go on a trip with my friends!!!!

it bugs me that people that doesn't know me... thinks they know me... and decides to assume things...

and if i do tell the whole world everyone's secrets... then how come no one knows your secret after so long?

sometimes i wonder... do i really don't act like a girl that much?

so the other day... someone returned a playboy magazine to my roomate, Jackie...
and Jackie being the guy. he is.. just left it out in the living room.. (apparently for over a couple of days.. but no one knew..)
and then today while we were having a conversation.. and jackie was saying how this house is such a women house... and then Jason.. (my other guy roomate... aka the woman) was like.. whatt? we have 2 guys and 2 girls.. it balances it out... Imagine Jackie very plain faced looked at the woman and said... "you are consider half a woman" ROFL!!!!!
and then while i went to shower... jackie had a plan.. he was going to sit beside the woman and read playboy and see if the woman will react to it...
after 30 minutes of reading.. and i am not sure what the result is.. he gave up
when he gave up.. the woman was like... hey.. how much is a playboy anyway?


now we understand why the woman is a woman.. because he's too cheap to get his own magazines.. which result into him reading my vogue and girly magazines... =( so therefore jackie and my conclusion is all my fault why he is a woman...

at first when ira asked me to be at the international exchange booth with her all day tomorrow.. i was kinda like.. mehhh.. i guess it will be okay...
and then when i got up this morning...
i got this email in my mailbox.. it was from a really really good high school friend of mine.. so i clicked on it.. my high school friend is going to be at the exact same thing as me!!!! (btw.. she took a year off to do volunteer work in kitchener.. then going to peru)

so ira doesn't have to be scare of me that i am a no show

i confronted that person how i felt...
and it didn't work..

so therefore no more confrontations from me... EVER

i know this incident has happened like 2 weeks ago... but i can't get it out of my mind...

the weekend i went home... a bunch of them were hanging out at my place. and of a sudden they wanted to play monopoly... and the monopoly is in my room and and it locked... hence the game doesn't belong to me...
so the game's owner who decided that she's going to leave the game here suggested that they "break" into my room and take the game...
she's one of my good friends.. .and most people know that i am a big person on privarcy... (most people will know that i didn't lock my door at all last year.. but why did i lock it this year is because there's too many people coming in and out of the house) and she "breaks" into my room to take the monopoly.
and the part that got me mad was i clearly talked to her the day i came back.. and she did not tell me they broke into my room until later on that night.. jackie told me

i thought i can get this out of my mind... but its been 2 weeks and i can't seem to get it out of my mind... like ARGH!! you dont do that to someone you barely know ESPECIALLY to someone who doesn't like their privarcy invaded!

recap of this weekend...
friday night. .went and watch across the universal.. it was a really goood movie.. all the beatles favorites were in there... so happy.. and such a good sing along film... ira and i were actually singing to some of the songs in there..
*side note* marilyn.. since you are like my biggest reader.. you will laugh your head off... so before the movie started... ira was like.. i want popcorn.. and i was having a tiny craving too.. so i was like.. okay ira.. get a small popcorn... and she was like okay.. no problem.. small popcorn.. =) and went to get popcorn... 10 minutes later.. linda was like.. is that ira..? my reply was like noo.. cause i told ira to get a small popcorn... well.. turns out it was ira... and what happened? IRA HALIM BROUGHT A BUCKET (HUGE BUCKET) OF POPCORN AND THE LARGEST DRINK! needless to say.. i am quite sick of popcorn now

saturday night.. - hint for those of you who reads my blog and see jason.. don't say anything about kitty being drunk and getting kicked out of fubar to jason...

halloween

my halloween consists of walking to sobeys... walking back home in the rain... and doing my assignments...
but i am happy.. isn't that all matter?

after many hours of intense battling with the evil land owner on sims ds.. lilian finally finished the game for sims urbz in the city!! WOOHOOO!!!
now i can go to sleep without worrying about my game

i am tired.... dead tired...

as i was waiting for the plane to arrive... i dawned on me that i arrived at the exact same terminal.. exact same exit.. and exact same flight

more than 11 years ago.. i arrived with my dog, Larry, in tow. the 2 of us were set off to go to canada. I just turned 9 and going on the plane by myself yet alone with Larry was not a big deal for me. But the difference is... we are both going a place where we are suppose to call home but don't really know anything about it. At that time... I had a dog in tow. I had a flight attendant in tow too. She had to get the 2 of us through with customs... and get it checked out and stuff... Imagine a tiny little asian girl that was bringing along her dog in the back then terminal 3. It was very confusing. As much as I hate to admit to it, I hated traveling with Larry even though he was my bestfriend. He was such a burden at that time. I had to carry his "passport" with me. I remember my first memory of Toronto (mind you.. i used to live in vancouver) was it was ugly. VERY UGLY... in comparison to YVR at that time.. YYZ was very very ugly. It looked like my parents booked me off the wrong flight and I landed in some ghetto place. I made it through.. got my luggage and set off to this new city I call home.

11 years later....
i stood at the exact same place waiting to just get the waiting over with and get the crap out of there. i started asking myself many questions.. what happened in these 11 years? a lot has changed. most important thing is that... Larry is no longer with me. I still think of him.. its just he will always have a special place in my heart. 11 years.. tons of changes but at the end... how many 11 years can someone actually look back on?

my destiny in life

just because marilyn said its a lot of work to write on my blog everyday... i am going to prove to her it is not... (deep down.. i think both of us knows... i will eventually get bored)


i think before i was born... God looked at me.. and said...
"yes.. this one will be an accident prone"

my loathe to first years

Today, while i was trying to decently study (for once)... this stupid girl behind me was talking on her cell phone... LIKE HELLO... LIBRARY.. CUBICALS... dont you understand... its QUIET STUDY AREA! GENIUS!!!! and she clearly went on for 10 minutes... but i was too scared to say anything because she is really big! (i know i am mean) her conversations were ranging from dancing with the stars to how bu111 is the most pathetic course to study for and why would profs make it so hard... whoever took it is such a stupid idiot... (like hellloooooo.. .haven't majority of this school been through the same thing? and you are clearly taking the same course.. so that will make you an idiot too)
FINALLY!!!!!
she was done with her conversation... and i went back to my studying...
BUTTTT
10 minutes later.. her friend called again because she doesn't know where she put her EC120 TEXTBOOK... like.. wow!!! that consume another 20 minute of the precious time...

so i got annoyed and packed up and came home...



why do i always have problems with first years and library? *remember last year???*




BUT
marilyn made me a happy person... a secret i shall not share yet because she told me not to get my hopes high up yet





i am welcoming myself to my new blog... due to the fact that i forgot my xanga password.. no more xanga... =)
