On the side note: the completion of IAHs' finals marked the end of the first session (Journalism is a different case all together). It was a tough paper. Nevertheless, I hope that I did well enough to secure myself a four point for this four credit hours course. We will see what happens.

Just another entree

I forgot to upload this pic. Its a gift from Canada early last month. Really love it, but it does not do a good job in marking the pages, rather, tearing the page into pieces.. LOLz! Anyway, thanks for taking the time and effort to get me this. Its lovely.

Its been a month plus, since I got that, and finals is just around the corner (thursday). A lot has happened, the good the bad, and the finals marks the end of my first session (or maybe not, since my journ class runs till end of july). Nevertheless, it has been a good experience, the first session that is.

For those who are going back for the second session (once again), I wish you all a safe journey. Take care, and have fun! To those who are coming back for the second session, I welcome you back--we shall have fun tackling the second session together and have some fun of our own as well XD

Watched the Great Gatsby at the so-called, funny dudes' combo's place today. It was better than I had imagined. I guess the popcorns were helpful in shifting my attention a lil... It was really funny, how certain dialogues were exactly the same as those that were quoted by Ryan (IAH Instructor) from the book.

Thank yous' : Tim & Andres XD

p/s: I'm again, addicted to Photoshop

Energy level: -100%

Like always, yesterday (Friday) was a sport's day. Having got out of work by 11.30 a.m., I walked back to the dorms to get my "other stuff". Initially, I planned to pack everything and walk to the sports center straight after work (I even had plans to complete some of my work in the library before meeting up with Tim, Fred, Allen, ... etc.). Unfortunately, I woke up late: 7.20 a.m., when I was supposed to reach Case Hall (a building at the other end of the campus) by 7.55 a.m., the latest. So I RAN to work, and thankfully, made it in time XD

And so, we played badminton (Tracy, Karen, MayChia) , and THEY played basketball for most of the time (Tim, Allen, Ron, Fred, WeiYi, Andres), while Alan played ONLY basketball =.=" Nevertheless, it is good to have all of them get together~ something that does not occur all the time. It was the normal drill for me, to play badminton as long as it last, and to shoot hoola hoops when I have no one to play with. In that short period of time, I see myself improving in basketball, and was motivated enough to start jumping while playing badminton (vs. moving back and forth without making extra effort to play.. lolz)

Later last night, I went to the bible study in church. Melodious songs, good conversations, "superlicious" food--a good place to spend some of my time, despite my already worn out body--and to reinforce some of the values that are utmost important. Not going into the specifics.

Shortly after, I MSN-ed, Watched anime, etc, and dozed off for the rest of the night.

I must say that yesterday was SOME day, and THE day when I slept at the earliest time in this entire session. I like the idea of doing this once in a while, getting enough sleep, and enough food (not really - FISH STICKS ROX!). Its nice to be "normal" once in a while. Nevertheless, some degree of abnormality (well, I think that I'm normal, but most people don't.. Lolz) makes things more interesting XD

Anyways.. I'm going to stop right here~ will write more later

Adios Amigos

A humorous day

What happened at B-Lib was funny... BUT, never have I thought that this was a chain effect. Like I wrote in the previous entree, I was waiting for my next class to start (oh right... I did better in this quiz - a 10% up! BUT a few careless mistakes thou). The string of jokes started once JRN started. Well, this is not something new in this class... but somehow, the jokes that my professor said today was HILARIOUS.

A direct quote of her "neighbor from their conversation

you don't know me, but I know you... I'm your new neighbor 3 houses away from your residence... Just wanted to ask if my neighbor was married

Her friend's comment on BLOCK LETTERS

Jean: Why do you write everything in caps?
Friend: BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR WELL

THE 3 advices when you have a kid

a) No fastfood - because they will learn how to react to fastfood restaurants, faster than learning how to say "mama"
b) No gameboy - kids spend too much money on games, AND books to help them win the game
c) Never sleep at 3 a.m. - Self explanatory

Now, please excuse me for now. Need to get some work done before I start laughing for 5 minutes (non-stop: yah! cannot breath) again.

To do list:

JRN 205: revised backgrounder;e-mail release; press release; final project; blog updates

IAH 201: ANGEL assignment; Creative project

B-lib

The weirdest thing happened today.

As I was walking in the "computer room" in the B-Lib, I saw a lot of students, working together. Instantly, I excused myself (I thought that there was a class in there).

About to find another place to do a little revising for my AP style quiz tonite (Associated Press), I rememebered that there was no scheduled class in that room. I peak in again, and a Korean guy told me, "there's no class in here" Feeling stupid, I went into the room, started unpacking revision materials.

It is, of course, not the end of the story. Having assumed that they consist of various groups, I was shocked when they started shouting "True!False!E!False!True True! Apparently, they were doing an online quiz together, as a class =.="..

That, being hilarious enough for me to ROFL was not the end of the whole story... One guy (the scapegoat) submitted the answers to let the rest of the class to get a 100% on the quiz..I symphatize him, but OHWELL... he said that he was in a hurry--he had to work, so... there's really nothing that he could have done about that. However, I really admire his generosity (and OF COURSE, the "giving heart" of some of my friends)to change people's lives for the better.

Now that they've all gotten their 100% in the quiz, I remain the only one in the room, typing this entree

Just thought that it would be nice to share my "unexpected experience" Have a good weekend people!

Pic = A thousand words

Its been an awesome weekend in stark contrast with the weekdays. You know what I mean... sleeping when its bright out, and eating one meal a day, having walked around the campus.

This equation sorta sums its all

Energy input < Energy output

Ohwell, I'm looking forward to a better week this week. Speaking of which, I will start work this Tuesday. Having been a 15 minutes "accountant", I realize that I'm not earning as much as I would like to... Oh well.. I'm not going to take the risk of degrading my grades.

Anyways, here comes the pictorial part.
Enjoy

On the side note: wanted to share this pic with all of you. It's a picture taken at Redang Island, Malaysia. It's good to know that such Islands with such clear water still exist in Malaysia. Also, its good to know that my parents, sis, cousin and her other half had a great time in that Island. I wished that I was there...

Mom told me about their trip in Redang. Apparently everyone agreed that I would be more adventurous that all of them, swimming to different places, to see the marine life in Redang. I would, really, and am just hoping that, that day would come.

Life in Band (1999-2003): An Intro

In dedication to my "loving" Juniors;
Yi Ling, and the rest in the Percussion section


Regardless of what people might have said about "our band" in the past, I am nonetheless Honored to be part of the CBN School Band. Being a part of this organization had solidify my beliefs of life, and at the same time, left me with wonderful memories of my high school days in that tiny, yet nostalgic room-the band room...

Having said that, allow me to present you a flashback of my memories of my life in school band.

I still vividly remember, the first day I attended the meeting. It was on a Friday morning, at the AVA room - a room situated right at the corners of the primary school. I knew no one, but one person, Beulah, who happened to be a classmate of mine. She, however, did not end up in the school band because of the commitment that was required. We were lectured on the expectations they had for us. It shocked most of us when we were told that we had to sign a contract (something that I still think is the lamest thing to do) in order to join the organization. That, however, did not stop me from wanting to be a part of the big family.

Shortly after, Mr. Koh (our band instructor) asked us to write down three names of instruments that we were interested in. I scribbled in my little piece of paper:


1. Percussion
2. Flute
3. "Sexy-phone"


Why? I'll tell you why. First and foremost, I had absolutely no idea what would happen if I took up huge instruments like the tuba or trombones. I chose percussion because of my confidence in rhythm and beats, having learned piano for several years; flute, because of the nature of the instrument (I was under the impression that it was light and required less effort for it to sound); and lastly, the sax as I thought that it would be cool to be able to play that instrument. Due to the popularity of the percussion section, several of us had to take a test to show our sense of rhythm. Having triumph in this test, I officially became part of the Percussion section, a section that I took pride of as being THE COOLEST section in the entire band!

to be edited...
Its going to be helluva long =.="

UNO (cum Udon) mania

EAST LANSING, Mich. (June 3, 2006) - For the past two days, we (Karen, Tom, Tracy, and I) were in a "race" to see who was "good" enough to "win" the UNO championship.

Karen, being someone who had her total jack in hundreds was the obvious winner in the first night. Due to improvement in her skills, she barely won the cup last night (notice: josie and simon joined us).

In her xanga, she said;
"again, i won the championship cup tonite (Midnight on Saturday). I love my frdsss (referring to, none other than the others who played) very much. They are such nice people let me won Uno. Thank you YOU GUYSSSS so much, I wont forget YOU GUYSSSSSS" (somehow, this left me with a chilly feeling down my spine XP).

She continued, telling us that "[her] next target [was to win the next] Championship Cup(3rd)"

With numerous "unreasonable" rules (from different regions of the world) cum crazy attempts to stop players from winning, the games turned out to be tensed, yet fun.

UNO, is a card game, dedicating to enrich lives of kids, encouraging social networking, and strategic planning. It also helps in molding our bullshiting skills, and sharpen our observatory skills.
