continuation…from last night

[thurs.jan.20th]
went to YUBC, then ate at the SC with people. had 3 tacos, a fries supreme, and two cups of root beer from Taco Bell. THEN i felt like dying. UGH. i skipped my Genetics tutorial from 5:30-6:30, but i did go to my lab. the quiz was kinda weird and easy....but oh well. i'm not complaining.

the corn scoring lab itself took quiet a while, but Mish and i did end up finishing 5 minutes before 9:30 p.m. LOL! That STILL counts as EARLY.

we headed over to the house, and i finally convinced her to come in. turns out that Zin had headed out to pick up Terry. we chilled and listened to music and ate peanut butter squares til it was time to go home.

[fri.jan.21st]
didn't sleep well. couldn't fall asleep til 7 a.m., and woke up at 9:30 a.m. to shower. went for my ultrasound at 11:00 a.m., then came home and bummed for a bit. got a call from TSO for a job interview! w00t! headed out to dim sum with mom and Joe, then went to the grocery store to buy some pears. met up with Zin at Pacmall and headed to the Great Canadian Superstore again to pick up a few things. headed back to the house, and i plunked myself down to watch some Dawson's Creek. decided to stop after roughly 4 episodes and watched Love Actually over dinner instead. dinner was awesome. Zin cooked up a chicken in the oven with roasted vegetables and gravy. mMmmm!

[sat.jan.22nd]
woke up to find that the snowstorm had ACTUALLY come after all. my mom had been warning me about it yesterday all day long, and by the time i got home there still was no sign of snow. apparently it started around 8:00 a.m. and it snowed profusely for most of the day. at least i got to have a load of dumplings for lunch!! at one point, Joe and i headed outside to shovel. came back inside, bummed for a bit, then decided that i better haul arse and shower. Zin came to pick me up, and we headed out to get some gas. then we proceeded to drive out to Mandarin in Brampton for the annual Nobleton/Milton/Brampton Farm Service company dinner. it was good to see Barb, Karl, and Keith again. headed back to the house after dinner and chilled. the road conditions have been kinda iffy all day. anyway, i continued to write up this post after getting cut off the internet. i think i'm gonna head to bed now. i'm tired and aggravated and just need to get over some crap. ugh. goodnight.

in brief

so i've sort of gone on a two week hiatus from blogging again, and for that i apologize. i've been...umm...busy? lazy? not online? yea, something like that. moreso the latter two. anyway, so here's what's been happening.

[tues.jan.11th]
i'm assuming i actually attended Genetics on this day. it might've been the day when i arrived late and had to sit on the floor at the back of the lecture hall. someone continuously played with the lights and i didn't seem to mind too much. i couldn't write in the dark, so i took the opportunity to rest my eyes instead. *hangs head* i killed some time doing a whole load of nothing (probably?). Mish finished class, and we went to Pizza Nova for lunch. we hit up Yorkdale, Bayview Village, and Fairview after that....and then i went home. i decided to skip out on Chem and study at home instead (which didn't end up happening, by the way). instead, i came home, ate dinner, and passed out around 11 or so because i wasn't feeling well.

[wed.jan.12th]
so i ended up not having a lab because of a switch-up with stuff. instead, Zin came to pick me up after morning class and we headed to Pacmall to do some shopping and run some errands. we had Subway for lunch, and headed back to the house. YUBC Cove Night was at 8 p.m., so Jo, Terry, Zin and I headed out to meet up with the members. Zin and I went to eat at Falalfel Hut before shooting some ppl with people. oh wait, that reminds me. i hafta upload the pics from the camera onto my comp so that they can be uploaded to the gallery. uh...oh.

[thurs.jan.13th]
i probably didn't go to Genetics in the morning, and instead just went to YUBC? i think this was the day that Fieldhouse was flooded, so YUBC was held in the Upper Gym instead. ate some Wendy's at the SC with people afterwards, then headed to my 5:30 Genetics tutorial. man, was it ever boring. had a Genetics lab from 6:30-9:30. stupid lab on microscope slide preparation and scientific writing. it's all a load of junk, i tell you. went to John Anderson's by Empress to have burgers and onion rings with Mish. dad picked me up from Finch Kiss 'N Ride.

[fri.jan.14th]
went to the doctor's for my appointment at 1:00 p.m., then had lunch with mom at Chiu Chow Restaurant. headed to campus afterwards and played some badminton (like, 15 minutes. d'oh!). headed back to the house and dropped off some stuff, then headed to T&T's with Zin, Charley and Terry to buy groceries. swung by HomeSense and M&M Meat Shops as well. went home, dropped off a bunch of stuff, then headed out to Market Village to pick up a few more items. after that, we headed over to Shirley's for hot pot. took about 2 hours to prep food. s'all good, cuz the guys did the dishes afterwards. stayed til almost 2 for the YUBC meeting.

[sat.jan.15th]
was supposed to work from 7 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., but only ended up working for 3 hours (til 10 a.m.). Maja was cutting shifts, and i was DEAD tired...so i told her that i wanted to go home early too. so yea, Zin came to pick me up and i napped for the rest of the day? can't remember what happened for the rest of the day. i think we had dinner, watched Love Undercover, then had bubbletea with Iola @ Destiny's?

[sun.jan.16th]
woke up quite early, called in sick to work, and went up to Alliston to play in the league tournament. though Zin and I lost all our games, it wasn't too bad. i was feelnig pretty awake and most of my shots felt pretty good. anyway, fell asleep on the drive back to the house. had some food with Terry, and then Brian and Emily come back. we end up not going for sushi buffet. instead, we order in Swiss Chalet and watch My Sassy Girl.

[mon.jan.17th]
woke up, showered, then Zin calls to tell me that there is no YUBC...as Fieldhouse is still flooded. great. bummed at home watching SFU Season 2 all day, until Guides. swung by GAP after Guides to pick up my schedule. Matt asked where i'd been 'yesterday' cuz apparently Christine forgot to tell him taht i'd called in sick. aiya.

[tues.jan.18th]
no Genetics. no pizza with Mish. just went to school, had a tuna pita, and went to my Chem tut at 6 p.m. decided not to sit through the lecture til 10 p.m. Zin came to pick me up and we went back to the house. had honey garlic chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, and garlic vegetables. watched Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle.

[wed.jan.19th]
Zin came to pick me up after morning class. headed to Canadian Tire at Dufferin/407, then the Great Canadian Superstore at Dufferin/Steeles to pick up a load of stuff. headed back to the house for food - grilled cheese, eggos, milk. started cleaning the house with Emily after Zin left for his bass lesson. swept, vacuumed, and mopped. didn't finish til 10 p.m. or so?!?! the housemates cooked up some fried rice and bubbletea.

i'll continue this post tomorrow. no more time.

still tired

Saturday was quite the awesome day. my shift on Saturday had been cancelled. that works for me. i mean, there was supposed to be a "YUBC party" going, no? LOL! on top of that, i booked off by telling them that it was my "grandma's birthday and that i would be up in London to be with relatives." RIGHT. i don't even KNOW anyone in London, my grandma's birthday is in DECEMBER, and i don't visit relatives for birthdays. haha! anyway, i showered, and Ed came over to drop off the Pointfore racquets. we chatted for a bit, and then i headed out. Zin came to pick me up, and we went back to the house. i changed, and we headed to Yorkdale, where we parked the car for the day. we subwayed down to St.Andrew's Station and walked to the Royal Alexandra Theatre, where we enjoyed the 2:00 p.m. show of Mamma Mia. though the ending was a little weird and the storyline bore some uncanny similarities to "life", it was a really fun show. :)

both famished after the show, we decided to have an early dinner; early as in 4:30 p.m.! LOL! after it was insisted upon that i decide on the restaurant, i chose Big Daddy's Crab Shack & Oyster Bar on King Street. we started with Oysters Rockefeller. i had the fried seafood platter, and Zin ordered the Atchafalaya pasta. mine was a huge platter of fried scallops, jumbo shrimp, catfish, calamari rings, a crabcake, grilled vegetables, and mashed potatoes. Zin's dish apparently was ridiculously spicy.........painful, much?

we headed back uptown after dinner and went back to the house to watch "Love On A Diet". :) man, after all these years, i still love that movie!

on Sunday i didn't really do anything remotely strenuous. i woke up for mass and went out for Shanghai food with family afterwards. we went to Loblaws to grocery shop, dropped stuff home, and then headed out to Fairview Library and Mall. i picked up a few issues of Gourmet. i actually haven't been to a public library for at least 9 months now. :S i used to frequently borrow novels and such. now i have no time to read anything but stupid textbooks and lab manuals. *grrr* anyway, i also picked up Theresa's pink mini boucle tweed skirt from Gap, as well as Brian's court shoes from SportChek. i also tried to shop around for a new DVD player, as the stupid loader is broken on the one i currently have - but to no avail. home i headed, bummed around a bit i did, and to Congee Wong at FMP for dinner we went. i bummed around some more after dinner, and finally went to bed around 2:30?

i woke up today feeling sluggish, but not tired. i met Mish at Wilmington and we rode to school together. i played like garbage at YUBC today, and got smashed on the head. yay for reaction time, eh? anyway, Jo and I went to eat at Falafel Hut after badminton. she got a souvlaki dinner and i got a tuna pita. i polished that thing off like it was water, so i proceeded to purchase a beef kebob in a pita. now THAT was tasty. *mMmmm* i headed home after that and was late for Guides. came home and ate dinner. i haven't been doing much since. the internet has been wonky. anyway, i don't really know what else to write about anymore. it's been a slow day. after a relaxing weekend, i still tired. Jo said it was last term's lack of sleep catching up on me. yea right. try the last 6 years!

certainly was an easy first week back

wednesday the 5th consisted of chilling with Victoria at her grandma's condo and chatting with during the ride to York. i went to find Arif, my BIOL 2021 lab co-ordinator, only to end up leaving him a note...as he wasn't in the office. i went over to the house after meeting up with Zin post-bass lesson, and had dim sum/dumplings for dinner before watching Needing You.

thursday the 6th was kind of a weird day. i used up close to 2 hours of Brian's airtime talking on the phone with him, which i feel pretty bad about now. :S i couldn't drag myself out of bed for class since i'd slept so ridiculously late. i was also supposed to meet up with someone to purchase a Genetics textbook at 1:00 p.m., but i didn't show until 1:45 p.m. i headed to YUBC after that and popped my strings right at the sweet spot while doing smashing drills with Gary. i wolfed down a box of Shanghai noodles from Pagoda before going to my Genetics tutorial at 5:30 p.m.. met up with Zin and Brian after their Mandarin class, picked up Access Card and shoetag from Tait, and went back to the house. ate some fruit and such before heading to ABC, where i played surprisingly well. the housemates, Emily, Justin, Ly, and i went to bubbletea after that at GoForTea to see Otto. he's back from HK! i didn't get up til 1:30 and didn't sleep til 5:30-ish? my sleep patterns are still out of whack! lol!

i was supposed to visit the Abbey in the morning with Vicky on friday the 7th, but she never ended up calling me. instead, i woke up, showered, and headed to YUBC with Emily and Otto. i finally managed to get the Genetics textbook off the girl too. there goes 100 bucks. :( i played really poorly on Friday. my lines were all off. good news is that Terry strung back my racquet though. :) Emily, Otto, Kevin, Terry, Joanne, Anthony, and i headed to the new Congee Wong at Promenade for dinner, then bought some snacks at T&T. we were supposed to go for more badminton at Driftwood, but it turned out to be cancelled because of a function being held. instead, we sat around and polished off an entire crate of Maroc clementines while chatting in the living room. Otto has the most intriguing stories about his stay in HK. Grace came by too chill for a bit as well! we played jitz and ping pong and just hung out. lotsa fun!

more badminton = temporary cure to soreness

so yesterday, after having played roughly 4 hours of badminton King's Court-style...after not having played for roughly 2 months...i was extremely sore by the evening. okay, well, maybe not extremely....but QUITE sore was i. i woke up this morning really feeling the aches and pains.

of course, what did i do today? i went up to ABC(123 - hehe!) to play MORE badminton in the evening. it wasn't busy at all. there were always open courts! so yes, it was lots of fun. the soreness and stiffness from yesterday disappeared after a while, but now it's back. do you know what THAT means? i should play badminton 24/7 so that the pain will stay away. LOL! what a brilliant idea, eh?

anyway, so today i went to Biochem but not Genetics. i found out that the classes got reversed! D'OH!! Mish and i bumped into Chimine at Central Square; i haven't seen that girl in ages. we chatted for a bit as Mish and i hunted for textbook sale ads.

Mish and i had the regular $8.99 large pepperoni pizza walk-in special at Pizza Nova again for lunch. i tried to take it easy on the garlic salt this time, because i honestly felt like utter crap after the last time. i think there was still too much this time. i got dropped off at the house afterwards, and decided to hang out with Zin for a bit. then i took a nap, for i'd become totally exhausted trying to run on roughly 3 hours of sleep. Zin came back from class and woke me up, and we headed out to ABC. that's about it. look! i'm keeping up with my posts! (for now...) haha!

so i lied...

i don't think i'll be updating about the past month or two that i've missed.

i'm just going to start over from here on out.

dang, so my record has been broken. i've tried to log every single day since i started this blog. i guess this 2-month span will be a big gaping hole. oh well. no big loss.

so yes, a fresh start, a new year.

happy 2k5 people!
