haiyah update just for you...

hrmm.

lets see..

how did the first semester go again...

there was Eng 105-

what issues !? it was a nightmare of a course. although the professor was one of the best

the stuff he talks about are so philosophically-oriented and im no thinker~ well, only to a certain extent. why oh why. mostly about popular culture and the origins of rock and roll music..

and i had to buy so many story books for it too.

NOW what am i gonna do with them! its just left sitting around.

or shall i burn 'em?

and then there was History forgot #..

history of science wohh..

how uninteresting can it ever be. so much writing !!

three essays ! damn. mistake number two this is !

next, oh beloved Crim 101.

excellent excellent. i do not hate this course. maybe because it was once a week. and all too easy.

la deee laa laaaaa

Bisc 101.

cool enough not to dislike, hard enough to complain about.

i would usually just rush through the non-mandatory labs, and get terrible on the lab exams.

Result-wise.....

not very good as anyone could tell.

but not to a point where i would fall into the deep pits of depression, oh no.!

does that mean i don't care about my own education??? perhaps.

Things did go on fine after that dreadful start of a school year though, so its not like all hope has been lost, hahaha i always believed that !!

i did realize that the campus is preeetty big. and there were days where one class would be on opposite ends and i would have only ten minutes to spare to get to the other end of the school.

i also realize that it smells like shoes somewhere around the AQ.

..........

The first day

Most days you just want to skip through and some you want to savour it until it ends.

But the first days of anything is a bit of a mixed bag. at least..for me.

Today was my first day

My first lecture was Biology in a 500 people hall.

and well its only 50 minutes !

so my tuesdays really only takes me 50 minutes and i am free for the day !

I met some people and there were freebies all around.

Grab Grab Grab it all....

Had free pancakes too, how generous,

but

considering that we pay an exorbitant amount of tuition fees, that's the least you can do for us students !

Orientation last week was, not helpful....

in providing me the mental image of the campus i wanted.

i need to get my bearings and use campus slang...

I still get lost every now and then, realizing that i have been walking rounds twice, luckily there was a nice security/tour guide lady giving directions to lost students.

But even then, her thick accent does cloud my hearing a little, so i would just reply with a nice thank you and have a nice day.

Coldplay - Trouble

Colbie Caillat - One Fine Wire.

Tis now September the First.

Why ?

Holidays as we know are gone.

Worldly pleasures will disappear swiftly as hectic schedules begin to emerge.

i guess too much of something would be detrimental.

what a way to start a month. with a virus living inside of me..

Its going to be such an exciting month too !

Orientation is tommorow.

Starting to feel a little nervous about that but good things will happen i believe.

And then there is the first day of school next week, in which confusion starts to sink in,

"where are my textbooks ?"

"where is my class ?"

"who do i go to when i have this problem ?"

the new environment would do one good! Change is always inevitable..

it is both exciting and terrifying at the same time.

The new house would be ready by the end of this month..

Huh, the weird thing is that i have grown accustomed to the place around me.

the small tiny shortcuts, bus routes, the familiarity that i call home.

It is sad to leave a place we have inhabited for quite some time now, but new prospects await !

I have not seen the house yet....only photos and stories..

Linkin Park.

i feel 13 all over again !

woooosh .....

Summer Summer oh you give me pleasant days.

gosh...she's cute!

.

House Hunting can get pretty tiresome.

and i am not even a part of that.

Today they made an offer which got shot down by another one.. a higher one of course.

well.

back to the drawing boards i guess eh ?

back to countless hours on the computer looking for appropriate listings.

i would rather just get over it..

The Dutch Rennaisance.

I went to the Vancouver Art Gallery today.

equipped with no understanding of art history whatsoever.

The Dutch paintings were on, its these mind-blowingly detailed oil paintings which just really makes one wonder, "is this really human made ?" crazyyy

I like the service they provide too, the gallery has these audio devices that help explain the paintings, thus giving much meaning as to why it was painted and the artist's history.

Its amazing how one artist creates silver shadings and natural looking reflections by using just the three primary colours!!

It makes me want to aspire to become an artist, but since i can draw kindergarden level drawings such as mr stick-man and companions, mr stick-man's friends, there is really no point in trying

I can only drool and dream of drawing at least a decent sketch of any inanimate object.

yes yes, such is the petty dreams of mine.

But i like Vancouver downtown. its bustling with people albeit the dusty construction going on almost everywhere. shops are much bigger and better but of course being the tourist traps they are,

overpriced merchandise...

Blaise Plant - Metro Police

gosh.
too addictive

The calendar tells me that there is approximately 7 weeks left of holidays.

that equals not much time.

i don't feel as productive as i would like to, well thats why they call it holidays right.

i'm watching "House M.D" like an addict on drugs.

House is such a snobby son of a bitch, and a pretentious bastard but he puts on a very good show nonetheless.

reflecting back to my previous post...maybe i should be an english teacher in Japan.

You know like the ones that teach rudimentary basic structures.

then i can be like monkey majik and follow their story ...

but i'm no white person.

i don't know what is this obsession that Asia has with white people.

there are some times when i feel fickle minded, undecided

i don't have a goal to look forward to, is there something wrong with me ?

do we all need goals and aspirations to live ?

i am going to take english, history, biology and criminology in my first semester.

that is quite wtf. how are all of these related.?!

but, i just don't know where to start.

where does someone pick up and find one's passion and then subsequently starts to pursue it.?

" I just got LOST !

every river that I try to cross !

Every door I ever tried was locked !

and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off."

monkey majik The letter

Car Crash - Monkey Majik

F*Ck U !

To that asshole who tried to reverse at the same time as me.

and then proceeded to honk me when i was trying to find an opening to turn...

u think u tai sai ah !

Marianas Trench "All to Myself"

pardon the attempt.

Canada

A post in retrospect (part 1)

Rewind to 2006, July.

Well, the shock was incomprehensible to me that time.

i had no prior knowledge to the idea of migrating.

my mommy did not tell me anything,

She did not even tell me that she had applied for a freaking transfer at any given time.

And i still remember that it happened right after returning from that school camp.

So so, imagine the mood change from a tired sense of happiness to an angry sense of mind numbing kinda feeling.

Naturally, i was mad to the point of hitting the floors and walls.

But, it was not my call to make.

Reality is cruel.

stripped down to its bare essentials.

i really miss air conditioners.

ah...home sweet home

it will always be how i remember it

until i see it again.

which is.....when again ??

Coldplay does not smoke

Coldplay are not drug addicts

Coldplay are not alchoholics

Coldplay does not have elaborate tattoos

hahaha and yet they still managed to produce awesome songs

Snow Patrol and Howling Bells opened for their concert.

I just have to say Howling Bells are weird weird weird.

Disturbing song names...

Before Coldplay even came out to play, we were called out by security as it was freaking illegal to record any proceedings of the event.

WTF ?! its not like i'm going to sell it for profit ! its purely for enjoyment.

assholes.

He even wrote the information on my license, why u wanna report it ah !

Its so big.

Snow P is up !

from Ireland, really ?

confetti rain!

he's rather funny.

The drummer had an electric drum there..guh, he's good as they can be.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow

~Viva La Viva~

Snow Patrol opened for Coldplay !

did not know that they sang that famous "chasing cars" song..

tsk.

Coldplay was awesome !

Chris Martin, fucking talented.

They are so talented !

Guitars, drums, piano, all interchangeable.

AH i have no hangover whatsoever !

but it felt so good yesterday.

i should get drunk more often,

sorry, my liver.....

COLDPLAY is tonight !!

hahaha so high.....

Never Again.

Never again will we walk through the hallways together,

Never again will we input combinations of numbers into our locks, (15-57-30) !

Never again will we sit through class together, complaining about each other.

Never again will we have to cramp our minds for tests at the last minute, its always you anyway.

But,

i honestly wish that in the future, we would not drift apart, because life is interesting with you !

i cannot believe that vancouver is one of the most livable cities in the world...
