Major Declaration

Hi~

So, today has been my most productive day all week. Maybe all month? Wednesdays always make me feel productive because I wake up early for Korean class. The class in which I have a mid term next week by the way... unfortunately it's also the class in which I've also been slacking off. I suddenly realized today that if I don't start studying, I'm fairly screwed. Korean is not easy to learn... having a Korean boyfriend doesn't help as much as I thought it would. Uh jae, O neul, Nae il~ Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow~

I better study hard~! I have two exams on Friday and one assignment due on Monday and another mid-term on Wednesday. Fun fun. My birthday is coming up soon :) in exactly four days~ Am I excited? No... not really -_-; I'm too worried about mid-terms.

I went to my major seminar today. There was such a small number of people. It was pretty entertaining though (the number of people, not the seminar), lol, and I got to meet my future roommate. Based on a first impression, I really like her :) She seems nice and interesting and possibly an anime fan. Ahh~ I don't want to think about next year ;_; there are too many things to consider... specializations left and right.

Neways, this is more of a "general update" post, so it will be short and sweet. Not to mention that I'm in class. Arbus makes me sad.

I'm off~

Back to Waterloo

School is back! Yay! Waterloo, how I have missed you. Seriously, being home was fun and all but I missed being by myself as weird as that may sound.

The first order of business when I got back was to go grocery shopping! Man, I love grocery stores... (as long as I don't have to work in them haha) Most of the time they're clean and it just feels great to be there. So much variety and it's so much fun to think up of what you're going to eat over the next week. Interesting thing I saw at the grocery store was the amount of variety of sausages - not to sounds gross or anything, hahahaha. There was PC Brand: Hoisin, Piri-piri, Tandoori, Oktoberfest, Italian and of course Original. I mean, who thinks of Hoisin flavoured sausages?! Genius I say.

Yesterday I went over to Kathy's to make some dumplings. It was fun! I made a couple in interesting shapes. I attempted a fish but it ended up looking like a squid. I have a picture that I'll upload later. But it's cute, I promise.

For the whole Reading Week I woke up at 8:30 am or earlier because I had the chore of walking the dog when I was back home. Or earlier because my sister had school and I was in the same room as her and her alarm always woke me up. ): It effected my sleeping habits back here because for the past two days I woke up at 9:30am exactly! Creepy right? I seems like i'm getting more sleep at school then I do at home... I'm in my first Psych class since coming back and we're doing some review. I should've stayed in bed!

I went out today looking pretty (just cause I felt pretty today I am) and I find that it is flurrying out here in Waterloo. It's not clod, just snowy. I was getting late for class so I didn't go back in to change even though I should have. Oh goodness, walking in the boots I'm wearing in the snow is not the greatest idea. I almost slipped! The price for feeling pretty; it's steep! Rawr, snow snow snow, I was hoping I wouldn't see any more snow after snowboarding. (: I loved snow boarding don't get me wrong, but I didn't want to see anymore snow on the ground for another month! Did Groundhog day already pass? I want to know if it thought there was going to be a long winter. I want summer now! Ah!

Trust

Just a short post today; more of a rant really...

How much can you really trust a person. Someone whom you think very highly of but then proves to you that it was all just a huge mistake. It's weird when you want to forgive them so much that your judgment gets clouded and it turns out that you're the one comforting them. They say the sweetest words that come just out of nowhere (okay, not nowhere; I thought those words were just deeper in the ground then they actually are). Now, I cannot seem to get my mind around the words that were said and am completely confused at myself... why am I forgiving what was done? why do I still want to see this person so badly? why am I even thinking this over and over?! I know my mind wants to do something, but something else inside me tells me to do something else... My feelings are a mess and I know yours are to, we just both cause so much trouble for each other. I promised you... I will keep that promise... I want to keep that promise.

Now, when you talk to someone who you also trust highly... and they seem to not believe you, it hurts so much, there is just no one else to trust. I know they have the my best interests in mind but being the stubborn and vain person I am I just can't seem to get that through me. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get rid of my pride and just let my life go along easier. The biggest problem I have with you is that I can see that you don't really care. Or maybe I'm just not picking up on it but you always seem to hurt me in the same way every single time.

My vision is clouded like there is no tomorrow and I sense that everything will not turn out well. I don't want to lose you (one out of the two at least; I'm sick of the drama (internal) that comes with a certain someone and I guess you're just someone I don't need). I just want to sit alone and forget about it but it's getting harder and harder to do just that because everything around me just reminds me of those things I want to keep away. I want to keep the trust up and not become a hollow shell but it's hard to change the way I am completely in a blink of an eye.

Prettia

I cannot believe that Reading Week is more than half over. I mean seriously... what on earth did I do this week? The weekend with Jae was very nice~ hehe, he cooked for me and I was totally stuffed *fish lips* I felt so fat. We had salad, soup, steak, spaghetti and seafood... Omg, they all start with the letter "s"... not a coincidence I tell you.

Monday, I saw Valentine's Day (the movie) with Tia, Tsang, Jae and Charlie. The movie was alright, I got a little sleepy and went to pee during it. Yes, if I go pee it means I got bored of it... because normally I'm too distracted to think about my bladder. We went out for dinner after at Pho 88, apparently they re-renovated. Personally, I liked it more before hand. Their soup still tastes ever so slightly of dish soap... I wonder if anyone else noticed? Hmm, Jae's been cutesy in public lately - He holds my hand, kisses me on the cheek, and blows hot air in my ear in attempts to make me squeamish, it's quite nice and actually feels like we're dating~ *yay*! I mean finally, right? Sheesh, that guy I tell you. Ah~ love him.

Tuesday, I was a bum. That's all there is to it. Lawl. Seriously, I did not get out of bed until 2? probably later. But, I did stay up late working on my Alice in Wonderland cosplay. I kinda wanna finish it before Kosa's birthday thing, so I can wear it when I go and watch the movie... however, I think my friends might be embarrassed to be seen with me in public. So, I'll re-consider. The apron is taking me forever, I finished the bow, and I'm going to re-do the base dress. It's going to take me so long. Good thing I'm a patient person. Kinda.

Wednesday was Chrissy's birthday dinner. I went to school earlier to give Stanley my AN money. It was really nice to see him again. When I saw him, I missed him more than I realized. I shall make an effort to keep in contact with him more, he's someone I want to stay in contact with, and it's just one of those feelings. I can't quite explain why, but somehow, we know who we can see ourselves being friends with in 10 years, and for me, Stanley is one of those people. I also went to P-mall with Kathy, Kosa, Cindy and Alex. (Alex might live with us next year... strange.) Kosa drove. I ended up spending $60... on what? I don't know... food, earrings, my hair dye (as shown below)

and other misc. stuff... Dinner was suppose to be at 6.30pm, and I left P-mall at 4.30pm telling Jae I would meet him at Eglinton station at 5pm. Well... it turned out to be more like 5.30pm... and lets just say I'm so glad my boyfriend is patient. He had a headache, waited for me for half and hour and still kissed me "Hello" when I got there. I'm so sorry, Jae~!!! Well, point is that we had to go back to my place since it was too late to go to Rin's... major direction mix up... blah... Chrissy drove~!!! I was impressed/scared for my life. But I think she's a good driver and we all made it in one piece, so she gets my thumbs up *gives thumbs up* :)

The food was fine. It was an all you can eat buffet. However, others weren't happy, so there was a huge argument... and -_-; yeah... staff = hates us, waitress = cute, and Jack looked good in a blazer. We went for bubble tea after at Destiny. I meet Tim, the guy who randomly texted me earlier in the year. He's a character. Let's see... who else went: Me (duh!), Jae, Andrew, Jina, Tia, Nat, Johnathan, Sam, Jack, Micheal, Rin, Chrissy (another duh!), Julie and Calvin (I didn't know him). Tim came later on. I saw Claudia, and as always, I was amused by her false eyelashes, they were very very long. It was nice seeing her again though :)

Today, I woke up early courtesy of Mommy. Dentist apt. with the dentist my sister doesn't like. Got them cleaned + X-rayed. Then, went to the bank, bought $4,000 worth of funds/bonds... something with a better interest rate than my Savings account. Nyah, that's my additional OSAP money... and my principle isn't guaranteed -_-; I hope I don't end up losing it. Meh. Anyways, I went to T&T for the first time~!!! I know... I sound way too excited, but it's so much prettier than Zehrs, and it's asian!! The drink section alone had like a zillion types of green tea and aloe~ ahhh~ *happy happy* After that, I came home and dyed my hair. Twice. Wait, more like 3 times. Well... let's just say I shall be re-dying it again soon... it's a bit kooky. It's a Japanese dye, cost me $20, and it foams~ the colour my hair ended up though, isn't really the same as the one shown.... *shifty eyes* and my roots are lighter than the rest of my hair, so it kinda looks like I dyed my hair dark, and my hair is growing out lighter... it's quite strange. Damn you, fine baby hairs. I think I should go to a salon and get it fixed before school starts again, but I don't want to kill my hair even more. *Sigh* I have a date with Jae tmrw, and I look funny. If he laughs at me, I'm gonna be mad *pouts* though I'd probably laugh at him if it was a reversed situation, so I guess it's fine :P

So tired, gonna go to bed now.
I will upload pictures later~ when I get back to Loo, so I can shop em'.

Snowboarding Weekend!

It is now Reading Week and has been for a but right? Well the starting weekend I went snowboarding with family and Ronald (Lol, a tad bit random but whatever...) We all went up to Blue Mountain during the busiest weekend haha; because of Family Day yesterday, there were monstrous amounts of peoples.

So this was my first time learning how to snowboard and I gotta say that it was tons of fun. All except for the falling parts and falling parts and well... falling. Today I'm sitting at home and I am completely sore all over D: I was going to take a hot bath in the morning but then remembered the apartment doesn't have water till 5pm ): Phooey.

Woke up at 6am on Sunday morning to leave to Blue Mountain... who wakes up that early on the weekend!? But at least I made up the sleep on car ride up. It wasn't too busy when we got up there so it was nice learning without tooooo many people watching me fall on my butt. There was this one instructor with 'red triangle snow pants' who taught me so much! He was just so enthusiastic, LOVE HIM!

The day passed by and we went back a bit earlier than expected because my knee was killing after a fall earlier in the day and just got worse during the day ): The only hotel that was free was in Barrie which is a little drive away from the mountain but it was nice! *_* Pool (didn't have a swimsuit cause Daddy didn't tell me about it) and really nice rooms. I shared a room with Ronald as well as my sister.

The second day was Family Day so it was jammed packed! Little kids everywhere and there was an odd amount of Korean people. o_O I'm slowly getting the hang of carving down the hill and thankfully didn't hit anyone (but there were a few instances of me getting really close to!) Remember, the best way of stopping is to fall. Heh, I also saw the guy in the 'red triangle snow pants' just fyi. Didn't say anything though, I should've at least thanked him for helping me the whole day on Sunday. ): I do want to thank Ronald though, staying with me while going on the bunny hills all weekend! Lublub. (:

Rawr, I'm now being a bum at home, I plan to do some drawing today because there's no water to paint. Ah! I'm also seeing a long lost friend of mine today. I can't wait! (:

P.s: Pardon formatting, but my Toshi baby is to small to seem to move these pictures. ):

Happy V-Day~!

Hey :)

So it's finally the big day~! Actually it's three big days rolled into one this year. Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Chrissy's B-day~!!

I slept over at Jae's last night :) Haha, it was nice, because we've been fighting for the last day and a half. He said something I didn't like, I left in the middle of the night, he was majorly pissed off~ actually as far as our fights go... I'm going to say this was one of our worst ones. Normally, we stick it out until we feel better, but I was really mad so I just left. On the bright side, we're good and fine now = back to being our lovey dovey selves. Good thing too because it's Valentine's Day!! And he promised to cook me dinner ;) Gawds, I love this guy.

Yesterday, Jae took me to East Side Mario's. It was like 10pm and our first meal of the day... how sad are we? I guess we spent most of the day fighting. Or maybe just me brooding and him not really caring? Haha, I think it's a male thing to avoid conflict. Anyways, we had chicken wings and bruschetta and beer. Well, Jae had beer... I had cranberry juice and maybe a sip of his beer... okay, fine... a little more than a sip. Okay... I had a little more than 1/2 a glass, and I'm feeling horribly guilty about it. It didn't taste that bad... and I was totally fine = a surprise, because I thought I'd puke for sure or pass out or get dizzy or something... but nope. That's not the point though! Where are my morals going? Lol, Jae = bad for my morals?? *sweat drop* I hope Nat doesn't read this blog. She will lecture me for sure! I love you, Nat~

In my defense... yeah... I have nothing to say. Except, next time if I ever drink again, I much rather have a fruity cocktail. But I'm going to put this down as a one time, University experience, thing.

Happy Chinese New Year~!!!
to my mommy, (and my sister I suppose), dad, and the rest of my family.


A BIG Happy Birthday to Chrissy~!!!
Love you, and I will see you on Wed. I made this cake just for you! (Okay, anyone who knows me, knows that is a terrible blatant lie!) but it's the thought that counts. :) Right?


Gotta go to the grocery store with Jae.
Happy happy day~

Just a couple of things out of the way

Hi,

Just a picture of when I carved my first chicken a couple of weeks back. *happy happy*

Back in Toronto, now that it's Reading week. Got back yesterday... ;_; it was grid lock on the highway, but I got to sleep the whole time. (; It's so nice to see the family again and to just be home has taken a load off of me. Not only coming home but putting the deposit on the place for next year but trimming some loose ends on some situations.

Sorry for such a short post but I'm feeling much better than before. (: I also have to go to sleep cause I have to wake up very very early tomorrow for snowboarding! O:

Valentine's Day = Chocolates

So~

Today, I woke up at 9.30am. The earliest I have ever gotten up on a Friday... well since University started really. *yawns* I am still tired. I haven't taken a nap yet, however, because I had to make chocolates for Jae Jae~ He's lucky I'm this attached to him. Hmm, the fact that I like him enough to make him chocolates actually says quite a lot... Me, making chocolates, early in the morning... I've got to be the world's laziest person... and I woke up to make my boyfriend chocolates~ (and apply for housing)

I admit Becca did help (love you Becca Lamsky!) but I did all the finishing touches... at least a good three hours trying to cover the cake in chocolate alone. We were inspired by a website we saw... they're basically chocolate cake mixed with cream cheese icing balls, coated in dark chocolate. So good~! I admit I might have eaten a few too many... (as did Becca) and now I'm feeling a little queasy.

Kathy stopped by and gave both me and Becca chocolates:

Yeah... I know... suddenly I don't feel so proud of mine anymore~ you know what I think? I think this whole chocolate exchange implies one thing: arts students have too much time on their hands~!!!

Gonna go to Jae's and give him his early before I forget~

Econ 211

Hey :)
Look at the uber cute Sora cosplayer I found! *love love*

So, I'm actually in class at the moment... aren't I terrible? I'm blogging instead of listening to my Prof. However, since it's Econ 211, I can safely say that my distraction is justified. She's a very nice lady, but incredibly boring, and it doesn't help that she's teaching math. Math... *sigh* who ever invented it?? I mean seriously... didn't they have anything better to do? This course is driving me crazy. It's boring, and I should know this stuff but I don't... and it's math... Bleargh.

Anyways, moving on from Econ 211... I didn't sleep over at Jae's last night, haha, I know it's weird that I feel the need to announce that, but I've been there so often, it was weird being in my own room~! Should I be worried? Becca thinks it's unhealthy... haha, if I was anyone else looking in, I probably would too :P~

We're both getting sick and tired of looking at housing, we have two more tours tonight, and hopefully after this, we will have decided where to live. I really don't care any more. I'll pay the expensive Lester rent~!!! It was a nice place anyways. I mean, really, it's getting ridiculous. And it's causing Becca tons of stress. I'm worried for her.

I polished off several episodes of Desperate Housewives last night. I am extremely ashamed of myself, I was suppose to be doing my Arbus assignment, but the fact that Cindy sent me hers to reference, made me extremely lazy. And not to mention, it's not due until Friday midnight... which made me procrastinate further. Ahh~ I'm so sorry Becca (it's a group assignment) and why did you ditch us Kathy (bad planning on her part...) ?

Okay, well that's enough general ranting from me.
Jae: Love you~
Becca: I will finish Arbus on time~!!!
Self: Call work.

- Lee
P.s - I think I'm dropping this course...
P.p.s - Omg... I failed my mid-term...

Stress comes with Valentine's Day

As every year, February comes around and with that people are lovey and look forward to Valentine's day... This February; at least for me; this has been a very stressful month. And we aren't even half way through it!

I have a list:

• School
• Housing
• People
• Summer job
• School
• Portfolio
• People
• Housing
• School

Has anyone made a connection yet? haha. Well, seeing that I didn't do as well as I anticipated during the first semester means that there is extra stress for this semester to raise my average so I can get into Co-op as well as major in Fine Arts. The due date for the portfolio is coming up and it's stressing me out that I don't like half of the projects that I had completed before... At least Reading Week is next week and so I will submerge myself into drawing and painting and such. I don't think I will see much of the light of day D: Needing higher grades has always... ALWAYS bothered me; just now the pressure is on! There is only one more midterm this month I'm thankful because I already had 2... and both of the marks aren't up yet! ): The exam schedule just came up and my last exam is on April 13th... Summer here I come!

Another reoccurring item on my list was housing if you haven't noticed... That means even after looking for so long (at least Lee and I have been looking for weeks; I can't really say the same for others) we still haven't found the right place I guess. There are a few more tours and then we can see what place we want to settle down in the next year. I don't understand some people's preferences but there's one huge thing that I care about it doesn't seem like others really care about: Rent. The place that some of the the people want is really expensive, even though it is close. I just can't get over the price... There are a couple of factors but all in all I think that I would rather live farther away for cheaper. Or even in a basement *hinthint* Blah. Lee and I want to finish this by the end of this week because i'm going back home on Friday but we cannot seem to get it together. We should have been able to figure this out 5 tours ago! Arghh, I'm starting to lose my hair... =3=

People... There are so many people getting on my nerves recently. Some people more important than others but I can't seem to get it all together. I hate the fact that I can't get in contact with people and people don't listen to me. I'll stop here or else I may say a couple of things I may regret.

The final thing is not stressing me out tooooo much but after not getting hired in the plaza across the street (not even contacted!) I'm getting a bit nervous... I've been meaning to call Mommy to talk about it but I keep on calling her and getting side tracked. Originally I was thinking about just working retail, Reading week was meant for printing out my resume and bringing multiple multiple copies to the mall. I was also thinking of being a waitress; as weird as it may sound it has always been a little fantasy of mine. I know that my image would be shattered forever if I got the job but it still sounds pretty fun. Makes me wish I knew someone who owned a restaurant restaurant. No fast food places pleasee! D: Rawr, and lastly I was thinking of just a lackey job for some people, I don't really know but I was hoping that my Mom knew some people who just needed some summer help.

I'm just a little lost and just a little stressed. One other stress was looming over my head but recently went away (: Yay! Won't get into that one though.

Reading week that's coming up will be filled with art, art, snowboarding, family, art and friends. I'll be sure to tell you guys about it when the time comes, and I'll take some awesome pictures I swear! Just hope I can get through this week first!

Weekend in Toronto

Hey everyone!

This weekend I headed back to Toronto on the Thursday evening, which meant that I had to skip my Econ 211 class. It's generally boring anyways... *still feels guilty* Dad left to go back to Malaysia at 8pm on the Friday. I assumed when he said 8 that it was 8am in the morning, so I wanted to head home and say a proper good bye before he left... turns out I had lots of time after all. Lol. It's not weird that he's gone, I hardly saw him anyways, especially now that I'm here in Waterloo. But I think my Mom will really miss him. She's getting old... and that worries me :( Oh Mom, why must joint pain come with old age? Ahh~ I have to learn to be a better daughter and do more housework.

On a side note, I went to P-mall on Friday (before Dad left) with Pookie! Gawds, I miss him more than I thought *hugs* aww~ well we went shopping, and I didn't buy a thing until after he left (he had work at 4, so he left me at the mall by myself at 3) I ended up buying a really expensive Tralala (sister brand of Lisa Liz) coat. It's super gorgeous, from Japan, and very lolita-esq though. My mom thinks it makes me look like I'm eight. Haha, I don't disagree, but I love it anyways. It was originally $280, but it was on sale for 1/2 price! So I paid $140 (no tax of course ;)) On top of that... I got a boned black corset with a gigantic bow on the bust - $25, a long-sleeved white top with a sequenced British flag - $15 and a long purple tank top with tulle at the bottom - $5. I felt so poor I avoided bubble tea and fish balls, haha~

Saturday, I had work at 10am to 3.30pm. I woke up late though and didn't go in until 11am, and ended up staying till 4.40pm. Laura made me stand outside and collect donations for the "Give a toonie, fill a tummy" cause. I collected about $190 in a hour :) so I felt pretty happy about that~ my voice killed though... it's hard to get people to listen to you~!! I now feel sorry for all the people I've passed by. After work, I went to baby-sit for the Alloways. I've known them for about 3 years now, so I'm really use to them. Anyways, they set up an electrical train set this weekend on a table which is about the same size as my dorm room, in their basement! It's not finished yet, but it's totally awesome!! Haha, they have the coolest stuff :P I don't recall ever having anything that nice as a child. Even if I did... I wouldn't have had space to put it. Lol. The boys were very good this weekend~ it was nice :) sometimes they can get real rowdy. Well, just Hunter and Christian. Baron never gives me a problem.

On Sunday, Mom woke me up early to go grocery shopping... joy... but it was nice I guess, a good way to spend quality time with her :) and she lets me buy stuff now, haha~ probably because I don't just buy $15 worth of Pocky anymore. Now, I have to buy normal people stuff - veges and meat and etc. Hmm, after that I just watched some Desperate Housewives, paid my school fees and got a ride back to Waterloo from Uncle Felix. His daughter is nice, I quite like her :) she's a bit talkative, but I felt a good vibe from her so we could def. become better friends~ I asked if she wanted to room together next year, but we shall see how that goes.

Blah... okay I've delayed starting my CS 100 assignment long enough. I already seduced Jae last night in attempts to avoid it... but now he's gaming... and I don't think my second attempted seduction would be appreciated... haha, esp. if it causes him to lose the game. Meh, I'm off to un-avoid in the inevitable.

I'll catch up with everyone later~ byeeeeee~

Today is...

Today is Feb 4th 2010, and for some reason everything today just angered me. ): How sad.

To begin with I had a midterm this morning at 10am and so I stayed up late (3:30am-ish) to study for it... and woke up early as well to study just a little bit more just in case of course. o3o... I think that's what sets me off; lack of sleep. Anyways so did that and it wasn't all that bad at least. Went home and took a nap before my next class; painting. Of course the nap didn't help me stay awake but it was at least a bit refreshing. So I went in to start on a project but could only get so far because the school store didn't have any more Masonite boards for the students so I could only work on my preliminary sketches, and they only come in on Monday so I can't work on it this weekend either... ;_; During class I was texting Lee (Shhhhh.... (; ) and turns out our friend Cindy didn't like this one place that we want to move in... both close and cheap... I'm starting to just get a little peeved at this search; but I won't get into details (: Came back home to see that Lee had left for Toronto this weekend so I only had to make dinner for one today and this is what I came up with: Pasta with a homemade Pesto. ^_^

Originally I was looking all over for a recipe for one only to forget the recipe at home when we went grocery shopping with my brother Andrew yesterday. Lol. Turns out there was a recipe inside the package of basil that I bought! This is off the top of my head so bare with me?

Pesto:
45 mL Toasted Pine nuts
2 cloves Medium sized Garlic
40g Package of Basil
1/2 C Grated Parmesan Cheese
35-50 mL Olive Oil

1. Take off the stems of the Basil and loosely chop it.

2. Put together in the food processor/ mortar and pestle all the ingredients and blend together.

Ta dah! Except I didn't have either a food processor or a mortar and pestle but we did have this other contraption... Won't go into that; it was a huge pain to use as well as clean. ):

Well, I'm going to end this on a good note; I did well in my first accounting assignment, yay! (:

Grocery Shopping

Meow,

Today was a boring day. I didn't end up seeing Jae last night... He called but somehow I didn't wake up O.o... I guess I must have been more tired than I thought. I'm so sorry, Sweetie!!! Neways, got up at 8.30am, went to Korean class and my stomach acted up like usual. It's because I usually don't wake up till one-ish, so I guess my stomach isn't use to the food so early. *sad meow~* I miss my stomach... it's been giving me problems since Uni started = stress?

Well, after spacing out in Arbus 102, and missing the tutourial~ hehe~ we're lazy... it was pointless anyways! Andrew picked us up from HH to go grocery shopping. We forgot our reusable bags so we had to get plastic, and man they packed the bags way too full. As a cashier, I am offended. But yes, thanks to Andrew for being so patient while we shopped! He usually finishes way before me and Becca do, but today was even worst since me and Becca were shopping for baking stuff so I could attempt to make something for Jae for Valentine's... However if all fails, I shall be hauling my bum down to Eva's chocolatier and buying him truffles. We had some the other day - Dark Chocolate with Orange Zest and Seseame Seeds. Heavenly.

The bill came to $85.25 if I remember correctly... we were way over our imaginary budget! But chicken was on massive sale, so we bought two packets instead of one. And I bought dark chocolate covered coffee beans *happy happy*!

We also looked at a possible basement unit for Fall next year. The rent is pretty low, 265 Regina was gone ;_; so this is our next best bet. I hope Cindy says yes! because if not... idk where we're going to live -_-; Felicia (the landlady) seems really nice though, she's old, asian and cute~ hehe~ I love cute old people.

That's all for today!

Cooking Show

Hey~!

Ah~ I feel as though I've moved out of Room 117 and moved into Room 214 (where Jae lives). I'm sorry I haven't been here all weekend, Becca! :( I miss your cooking, lol, though I admit Jae is an amazing cook as well. But yes, I've stashed a stack of fashion magazines, make-up, face wash, underwear, pajamas, earrings, a mirror and various other belongings there... is that weird? I haven't slept in my bed in... 5 days? That's practically a week! Holy cow... Do we see a lot of each other or what? Hmm, good news is that we can sit nicely in comfortable silence, hence, the "we don't get sick of each other" part.

Becca made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies while I was away at Jae's~ but she saved me some :) so yummi!!

Any who~ Moving on. Today, I had an Econ 211 mid-term. It was four questions long and I could only semi-sucessfully do the first one. Oh boy, am I screwed or what? On the bright side, the exam was out of 20 marks, and the first one was worth 10... so I might pass?

After the exam, I went to SCH for some sort of cooking demonstration. It was different from what I was expecting, but overall - fun. There were three chefs, a nutritionist and various other personal. The chef demonstrated 3 different healthy salsas and provided useful tips, such as chopping up fresh herbs, mixing them with olive oil, and sticking them in ice cube trays to make little frozen herb cubes. They gave out kitchen related items such as cutting boards and the little KD's where you just have to add water.

They also feed us! *yay* The food was yummi~ even though it didn't seem like a lot, I got really full. There were also reciepe cards to go with each of the dishes, Becca snagged all of them, but accidently dropped them on the way home X3 so now they're snowy~ hehe~ The best part though was that we somehow managed to win a hand-held blender through the lucky draw! It was highly ironic because just before hand, Becca mentioned that it was the only item she really wanted, and two seconds later my name gets called. Highly weird, since I'm not usually lucky at draws.

Well, that's all~ I hope I pass my mid-term, if not I'm so dropping the course. *Sigh* Oh, and Dad is leaving this weekend to go back to Malaysia. I have to head back home to see him one last time before he gets on his flight. Hmm, I think I shall miss him.

P.s - Love you, Jae~
