this year's xmas holiday has been fun + busy + fulfilling.. but i feel like i don't deserve it.. cause i did bad on my finals..

- thur, dec 21: went to "x'mas at canada place"... took skytrain there.. got stuck in the middle btw main street station and stadium station.. b/c there's a medical emergency at waterfront station and it is closed... and the skytrain needed to turn back at stadium station.. then the lil map that comes w/ the U-Pass in the mail comes in rescue again!! (this is like the n-th time this year.. b4..i never knew this lil map can be sooo useful..!!) walked there at the end..it wasn't as far as it looks like on the map.. at the entrance..we were kind of mo loi..hahaha.. b/c the description from the guide was: "Join us for Christmas at Canada Place, where holiday stories and memories come to life. Take a stroll down the giant Gingerbread Men March, view the animated Woodward's Windows, visit the Little Elves' Playhouse and meet Santa Claus himself." hahaha...yuen loi it's outdoor.. but it was ok... hahaha...took lots of pictures..and had lots of fun playing visual effects.. hahaha..and it's good that the rain stopped... just a bit cold by the seawall... (at least did sth more xmas feel this year..haha.. )

- fri, dec 22: went to play badminton for an hour... oh man.. i'm too inactive.. superrrr tired afterwards.. but it's good exercise.. should do it more often.. then went to volunteer xmas party w/ sis and bro.. good food..haha.. played some boardgames w/ them and ppl we met from volunteer... funnn... and i somehow fell in love w/ the "guess who?" game..hahaha..and kept on pulling my sis and bro to play w/ me..

- sat, dec 23: did some xmas shopping.. then had JNB xmas gathering dinner at some western restaurant in downtown.. oh man... parking was headache.. we searched for like ~20mins... soo many ppl came.. ~30ppl.. it's like the biggest gathering ever after we grad.. thxxx charing for organizing it..~~ guess..we just don't know how to enjoy the food..hahaha.. it's quite $$ and comes in small servings.. hahaha.. then called rogers and cansy out for late night snacks..LOLz.. after a few choices... can't believe we end up going to Hon's..hahaha...

- mon, dec 25: went to skating w/ rogers and cansy.. last time was w/ sja annual skating a few years ago?!?! haha..i dont' even remember.. but since it's free admission.. only needed to pay for rental.. then it doesn't hurt to just go try again..hahaha.. thx rogers and cansy for keep bringing me out...  otherwise i guess i would just stand there and never moved or sth..hahahaa.. then had turkey xmas dinner at cousin's.. i guess i subjectively think that the one i had on thanksgiving was better.. hahaha...

(i guess i'm kind of out..haha..) saw a street performance = dance.. somehow..it delievered a strong msg to me.. yuen loi just movement (fascial expression, posture, etc..) + music dou can deliever dou a stong msg & influence dou ppl.. i guess we just need to take the time out of our busy lives to take a look at things around us.. some ppl just walked right passed them... ho chi can't see them at all / ho busy w/ their lives gum... ooo..since halloween is coming up... saw a lot of ppl dressed up to go to night clubs.. long long line ups in front of every one of them.. walked around for an hour or so..then we decided to go for dinner.. we were luckyyy.. when we drove out of the parkade we were sooo surprised that it was raining!!  ho joi we got back to the car at the right time..  otherwise..it's not fun running back to the car in rain...

8 = someone knew that i really wanted to go to the body worlds 3.. secretly booked 2 tickets online and brought me there today..   it was nice...well..probably b/c we are science students..so we were not tooooo surprised by those dead bodies showing different muscles and the organs...they just look like the models we see in class/lab...so kind of not as good as we expected.. probably our expectation was tooo high.. =\ we were both fasinated by the development section...where u see how an embryo develops into a baby.. from as early in life as 4 weeks all the way to like 28 weeks or sth.. don't remember the exact range.. but those lil embryos are sooooooooooo cuteeee!! and someone wanted to eat the 8-week-old embryo..  where u can see the basic form of the body..like head, arms and legs.. the whole thing is like semi-transparent.. verrrrry cutee..!!!  we stared at them for soooo longgg..  we also visited other parts of science world..never knew there are all these lil scientific games...had soo much fun..but wish we could stay longer...then rushed to a friend's house for the thanksgiving dinner at night.. 3 of us started prep-ing (washing + cutting) + cooking while watching tvb shows.. someone stared at the tv for the longest time as friend and i were busy preping.. -___-""  it turned out the turkey was verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry good... the meat was verrrrrrrrry "smooth"...totally not as rough as i thought.. and we made waayyyy too much food..that there was a lottttt of leftovers..hahaha... washed a biggggg pile of dishes.. =*( then played cranium...a game that i played a few years ago at elaine's house..*memoriesss*... someone has problem drawing.. hahaa.. everyone was tooooo full to eat the dessert = "lor mai chi"... ate 2 at like ~12am b4 i left..haha....i helped making them ga!! -----> a verrry day..hehee...~~
13 = someone bought my favourite sushi "siu yeah" for me after sja meeting.. verrrry yummy...
20 = finnnnnally got my MFR certificate during sja meeting... good for 3 years..

- finished 6/8 MTs in this term... horribleee!!  had 2 per week for 3 weeks...exhausted...did really bad on them.. and i don't get how i can have like 8 MTs for 5 courses... 2 of them have 2 MTs.. and 1 lab MT.. =*(
- had a few BIOL projects..which worth verrry lil marks but require a lottt of work..
- plus stress from work and sja.. thxxx for those who were on my side during the difficult times..

- 2 more MTs + 1 short essay + 1 project due in the next month...
- hope to change my schedule...i totally need better time management.. so that i can study efficiently, watch tv..and hopefully have some extra time e.g. 30-60 mins to do sth relaxing and i enjoy b4 going to bed (e.g. reading non-school related books, watching more tv shows that are not on tv, updating xanga more often, writing a diary..learning a new skill...etc..etc..and the list goes on...) cause i totally feel like i don't have a life...all i do everyday are..go to school, lectures, nap, tv, read/hw, msn for a bit, sleep...and the cycle goes on every day..

ohhh...didn't realize i have typed this longgggg...probably one of the longest entries everr..hahaha..~~

上星期四..有人知道我前一晚返工返到2：00am...之後8:00am有class... 唔想我上堂zzZzzZ..所以買左咖啡俾我..  

SJA MFR class is FINALLY over.. thank god.. the 40 hr course was..sooOOOoo painful!!!! fridays = 6pm-10pm.. saturdays and sundays = 8am-5pm.. (even longer than school)... felt soOOoooOoo bad for kept falling asleep in lecture.. sorrie for the instructor.. cause i sat right in front of him.. =\ thx to lilbro and twins for keeping me awake..   nice experience.. all the things that we went through together.. it was unforgetable.. and the instructor is not that bad after all.. he was verrry nice.. compare to that psycho woman... at least he's considerate.. willing to discuss... tolerated me falling asleep in lecture + lilbro and i were late for like 3-4 out of 6 classes..

work.. it's sad... 2 co-workers are leaving... work is not gonna be as fun w/o them... *sigh*.. but as long as they are happy... then it's good... hope we can still keep in touch...

一塊膠布

原來一塊小小既膠布都可以好偉大！！

平時因為SJA既關係...同人地貼過無數次膠布..而自己整親通常都懶得貼..等佢自己好..

今日有人同我貼...雖然只係一塊平凡既膠布..但係好warm..被人關心既感覺好幸福..

thank you.
