So, being that my interview is tomorrow, I figured I should get a new dress shirt or something cause I am sick of the ones I have already. So I went shopping yesterday with the agenda of getting one. Went to H&M, and actually found a nice one right away and it fits. So that was done pretty soon. Walked about H&M and saw this blazer, tried it on, and bought it too. Talk about impulse! gahahaha
Played a lot of God of WarII the last 2 days, and somehow, I have a feeling that I am not even close to being done! But yet, I am not going to complain because it's so damn fun!
Went to Rum Jungle last night, thought there would be more ppl, but the dance floor was really packed. And MacDonald's right after the club was never more appetizing! I think I kinda feel sick now! hahaha
Supposed to be going to a BBQ today at Hawrelak Park, however, the forecast says that it's going to rain today. WHY? we'll see how the plays out today!!
And to end today's entry, here's my current song: 曹格-數到五答應我 (Gary Cao- Count to Five and promise me)
Finally done exams, let's hope for the last time, I am seriously sick of this school stuff. Need to really start my contribution to society. Interview on monday, let's hope that goes well.
Been waking up 6.30-7.00 in the morning these days, can't sleep in, dunno what is wrong. Let's hope I get to sleep in more soon.
Games to catch up on: - God of War II<-- currently working on it - Final Fantasy XII - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Phoenix Wright 2
Animes to catch up on: - Blood+ - Deathnote - Naruto(caught up actually) - Bleach
Was at my little cousin's school today for a little bit because I had to drop something off for her. While waiting, I was looking at one of the boards and posted were some grade two's wish list. So I proceed to read them, and I was just smiling and laughing the entire time, thinking, a kid's mind is so easily fulfilled. Their wishlist are so simple, but yet, some of them are so simple that its hard to do. Kids do say the darnest things sometimes. As you grow, that wishlist is still there, but some of the items might have changed, while some, would stay the same. I don't know what I am trying to get at really. I think its that what a kid wish for, is actually sincere, and its what they actually feel they want.
I wish there's more I can do, I really want to do more, please let me....
The exams actualy went by pretty quickly, but not without its price though, midway through the 2nd exam, I wanted to sleep so badly. I think there was one point where I took a 5 min nap and woke up, but I could be wrong. Took the day off from studying, went to have lunch with a friend and then came home and watched tv/nap. I really don't do enough of that these days. Need to become a couch potato again and just sit there and not move. And then I'll become a very fat and monstrous looking guy......wait...I think i am one already..hahaha
H&M has some cheap guy clothing. Me, having no job, might go to this place more often. They are pretty nice actually..bought a polo and a t-shirt from there. Yes, finally got something new to wear, been wearing the same boring clothing for a while now, time to expand a little at a time.
Anyways, it has been a long day, and I think i will call it a night...at 10 pm no less...
The Big day tomorrow! Am I ready, as of now, NO. But after today, I should be fine, at least I hope. I found out that I already passed my finance 222 course, so there's less pressure there, but my accounting is another story, while I haven't passed the course yet, I am sure I am close to passing. But yet, I still feel the stress because I don't want to just pass, I want to do reasonable well and this is what that kinda stresses me out.
ok, I think that's all from me this morning, maybe I'll write something tonight when I get home from studying, I predict that I'll be home early today and resting. Early start tomorrow! Wish me Luck!!!
" If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died"
This Nickelback song has been stucked in my head the last couple days, I do like this song because of how it is. And the chorus, if everyone actually is like that, then there really won't have all these killings and other bullshit that go on. Is it that hard to swallow your pride once in a while? It might be for some people who have an ego larger than their head, but really now, is it that hard to not be selfish and think of others for a change? Will we ever see a day like that? Sadly no, will it improve? i sure hope so, if not, this world is going downhill very fast.
This morning, I woke up...open up the blind...and voila...everything is white!! What a way to wake up, to realize that it is spring and boom! its snowing! hahaha....How I love Edmonton!!!
But that aside, I actually like studying in this kind of weather! Its just the atmosphere, looking outside, you get to see the snow fall, and it kinda makes you not wanna go outside and play! The cooler climate almost makes it great to just be cozy and study...Not sure how to explain it, but it just feels good to study like this!! If I could, I kinda hope that the weather will be like this till next thursday..haha..so selfish, but I won't wish for that for other people, it's supposed to be spring, supposed to be sunny out!
Monday will be very interesting, attention span has to be at max on that day. 2 finals back to back with 15 min break in between. =) This will be a test to see how well I can focus. Accounting and Finance....there's not a worse combination I swear..haha!! But on the bright side, after monday, it should be smooth sailing from then on. Strategic management and Blaw should be easy and not scared about it at all. We'll see how monday goes =). A week left, and about 6 more days of studying, time is of the essence(sp?), blogging is a way to unwind and take a break.
Another School shooting....when will these thing stop? A moment of silence for them. =(
Finally started studying, frustating at times cause there's a bit to read and it's boring to read, but at the same time, i can't complain cause I really need to get it done, so that's what I am going for, study smart for the next 9 days. Yes, it might go by slowly, but i guess the slower the better right now.
hmm...ever had the conflict between your brain and your heart? Where one is saying No while the other is saying let's go? I can honestly say that is one decision that is hard to make. Which one do you follow? Rationality? or what you desire? Yes, it might be easy to say go with what you want, but don't you have to think about the consequences too or the implications of what you want? Can you do what needs to be done? Hard to answer these questions. What to do??? hmmm
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I grew up watching the cartoon series, and when this new CG movie came out, I just had to see it....
Although they look totally different, the way they made the story really reminds me of the old turtles, their characters, the way they speak ish. If only they were able to use the original voice actors, that would've been awesome!!
Also saw meet the robinsons, it was an awesome kid movie, totally inspirational if you were a kid. Really funny. A very good quote. Keep moving forward. There's no use looking back and then stay there, learn from it, and keep moving forward!
Also played badminton this weekend. It has been a while since i've held a badminton racket and played a game. I think I remember why I like playing it again, I am not good at all, but it was really fun. I'll try and play as much as possible from here on in!
Tomorrow will be the start of my studying session that will last till thursday next week. I think I'll actually want to put effort into it this time and do well for my finals. That would mean I might get more stressed, but hey, I do want to do well regardless.
So, sitting infront of my computer, in front of my MSN in where i've written [15] days, there are 15 days left in this term including the finals i have to write. Looking back and reflecting, it doesn't seem like this semester has gone by with a zoom, but also, it doesn't feel like i've done much in this semester.
Most of my classes this semester, the teachers have been quite lax, work periods here, work periods there, no class here, no class there. Like I predicted in the beginning of the semester, I dont think I enjoyed classes this semester as much as I did last semester. But hey, its not the quantity of time spent but the quality of time, I am sure i've learnt what I set out to learn.
Presentation tomorrow, Big City Snack Shack. haha, I came up with that name, and I guess my group members like it. It's a mobile convenient store where we can drive the store wherever we want and sell stuff you can find in mac's.. Neat huh? Maybe..haha.
Almost a week since I've blogged. Interesting, at the rate I was going, this is considered a slow down.
Now that last week is all over, projects are all due and cases all done, I think from here on in, its studying for finals, getting ready for it and also at the same time apply for more jobs. What's going to happen should I not find a job here by August? Should I go back to school? (which I am really really sick of already), or should I try my luck in other places?
There are two places I've ever called home, KB, and Edmonton. I am turning 24, spent my first 17 years in brunei, and my later 7 years here. I have good friends in both places and telling me to choose between these two places is hard. I've spent the "youth" of my life here in Edmonton, memories were made and they still are continuous. Telling me to leave here and start over new, yes it would be exciting, but it'll be incredibly lonely too. Much like how I felt when I first came here.
Going back to Brunei isn't a bad thing. I miss my family and friends back there, but do I see a future back home? No, probably not. Not dissing my hometown or country, but after living in a bigger city, can I go back and live in a non urban setting? perhaps i'll get used to it again eventually. Besides, I've spent almost 7 years in Edmonton, I better get a citizenship from Canada somehow!
This past weekend, met a couple new friends. They are nice, down to earth people. All of them are 25 or turning 25, I am the youngest one of the bunch. And being around some of them who are more established, really makes me want to go out to the society. My life has been revolving around school the last gazillion years. All I know about life's routine is what time to wake up, how to study for exams, and such. What else do I know? There's a lot left to learn, there's so much more room for growth and what I should be doing now is work towards being a more responsible, independent person.
Don't know why I wrote what I wrote, but here has to be something about it. Growing up, I see why peter pan wanted to be a kid forever.....I kid, this is more exciting!
Interesting thing that happened last night..... As I was driving home last night, my friend who works as a DJ for world FM 101.7 called and asked me to be prepared to come on air in about 2 mins. He mentioned it once on the weekend that it might happen, but I thought he was just joking and I totally forgot he said what he said. At the end of his weekly program, he is doing a language thing, and him, knowing that i speak a few different languages including malay decided to call me up and put me on air. Hahaha, now it was a pretty interesting experience although its just like talking to him on the phone, only with ppl listening in. I taught them how to say I love you in malay, Aku Cinta akan mu. Spoke in Brunei english, mandarin but mainly in cantonese. It was fun. Another friend happened to listened in to that program and she said it was funny....yes...how embarrassing. There is an archive on World Fm 101 website.
I'll leave this entry with a question, What does it mean to be mature?- Sophisticated? or just not childish? hmmmm
what a sunday. The editing of the project took practially a day and a half, and it wasn't only editing, it was more of a trying to finish it and writing the parts that were left off. But hey, all that has come and gone, report is sitting next to me, printed, and cerlox-ed; just waiting for it to be handed in. I don't know if I can eat another General Mills product the next few months, even the mention of General Mills will probably give me a possible heart attack.
Weekend was basically spent finishing up that project. Went to my friend's radio studio, it was pretty cool, been there once and still found it cool. haha, then we went to his place to watch blood diamond. The movie was pretty interesting, I heard bad things about it before and was kinda skeptical, but watching it i realized it was quite deep. I enjoyed that movie.
