I never realised this, but it has been a while since I've stayed out past 1 the last few weeks/months. It used to be this case on the weekends, don't come home till after 1 or 2. Goes to show there's really nothing else left to do in Edmonton. And the fact that my body can't don't really take sleeping late kind anymore. Wow, I sound like an old man. Last night, was at a Alex's brother's friend's place ummm..playing halo. I swear they are one of the more hardcore gamers I know. I mean, 4 flat screen tvs and about 5 XBOX 360s? and a shit load of controllers. Like..WOW? hahaha.
It was fun though, been a while since I've played halo 2 like that. So many people. Kinda hard at times, but heck, it was fun. But then I got really tired half way through and didn't really do much. lol. Waking up at 7 in the morning doesn't usually help the cause when its midnight( did that even make sense)?
The fact that I can't sleep in as much as I would like to anymore sucks. Damn you biological clock and makes me wake up early everyday. Hmm....as I sit here wondering what there is to do today at home. A day of chilling and relaxing? Or doing something? ah well, whatever happens happen, I guess I'll just worry about that later. But first, I think I should cure that little thing called my stomach. I think it's asking for attention cause its growling, but I shall wait a bit more before I decide to get off my ass and walk upstairs, cause right now, I am just content with sitting down and staring into the computer screen. Yes, I am the true pig.
oh by the way, I guess I should post a picture of my teeth, or lack of on here....
So there you have it. My "Vampire-ish" teeth. hahaha, I think everyone had a good laugh about it, or should I say have, cause people are still laughing about it.

Pretty much my life in a nutshell right now. Recovering from the aftermath of losing my 3 front teeth. No pains, but just feels weird having a hole in my mouth. But I am getting new crowns and what not by January 5th, so I guess that's a good thing. Apparently my teeth will look better than before, so I am kinda looking forward to that.
Sigh, Edmonton Oilers sometimes make me depressed, but heck, what's the fun of cheering for a team that always win? I guess its more fun this way. But honestly, I rather not go through all these and see them win all the time.
Getting more proficient in driving a standard car around. The first time sucked cause I couldn't find the cluth point, but all is well now. Getting the hang of it more and more. Practice makes perfect cannot be more true in this sense.
Talking to a friend a few days back, she mentioned that a lot of us have matured over the years. Gone were the days of partying and doing random things. Everyone is more settled now, doing their own things, starting their own careers and what not. Which got me thinking, am I really settled down? I think not, at least not when I find a career job or one close to it. I do not think I am done learning or done studying for that matter. There's a lot to learn, and I guess I have a lifetime for that. "learning is not a one or two hour process, it's a lifetime thing"- by a friend, not sure if she quoted it somewhere or if its original, but it really make sense. Some people should really take those words to heart.
Live life happy. It always take more muscles to frown than to smile, so if things get down, go to Macdonalds or Dream Tea House to order a smile!!! (yes, dream tea house does apparently have a drink called smile) =)
So...end of semester 1 at NAIT, I can say that the classes are for sure relatively different from University, they are easier, but they are also a lot funner, and the things learnt, you can apply in real life situations. This might be one reason why its a lot easier. Being practical wins out being theoretical anytime. But enough of that.
This past weekend, I think I realized how much I missed watching movies. Saw The holiday and Happy feet. Yes, a chick flick and a kid flick. In all honesty though, I totally enjoyed it. Both of them were different, but it made me laughed and smiled. There could be no better remedy. There's a lot of movies I need to catch up with, and a lot of new movies coming out that I would like to check out. If only I can stay home everyday and just watch movies.....
Christmas is here, and it's kinda fun seeing everyone going all crazy trying to find all the gifts for people, but heck, it's only once a year, and its a good kind of stress. AND it's fun shopping for people, maybe it's just fun shopping sometimes...but tiring nonetheless....
