Today I have my last Chm lab for this term.  On one hand, I am really glad it's finally over; on the other hand, I felt kinna sad... cuz I actually like doing Chm labs~~  Though it IS a lot of work (the pre-lab and post-lab work... @.@) compare with my other labs (Bio & Phy), I found Chm lab most interesting and satisfying. :P  In addition, the Chm laboratories have just been renovated!!  Everything is new, and it just looked totally professional!!  Working there with my Chm coat on really made me feel like I am a real chemist! ^.^  So it's kinna sad that today is my first and probably the last time to work in it for a long while~

The horrible days finally arrived...  TEST TEST TEST---   ;T_T;

And as I foretold, it's Chm test and Phy quiz day...  They were so freaking hard man!  I suppose it's cuz the last test's average was too high, so they made this test real hard to bum the average down... >.<  Now I can really feel how University wanna weed ppl out now~ (and I have a feeling that I am one of the weeds... ) How terrible!!!

今日好恐怖...4年前某天既心情又返咗嚟--- 一種好驚, 又好不知所措既心情... >.<

今朝, 遅咗起身... 見到個鐘已經成9:45am... 超騰雞!!! (10:00am 有class... 仲"冇雷公"咁遠tim...) 呢種心情就同個4年前果日發現自己唔記得返學考Listening一樣... 好驚, 成個人不其然咁抖震... 好鬼恐怖, 亦好難頂... 不過, 其實今次既situation 比上次好, 因為大不了咪唔上一堂lor~  (雖然最後都扑得切返學~~) 都唔知自己點解會咁驚...  可能以前既經歷實在打激得太大了...  但都好, 因為就快考試, 當係考試前夕俾自己既一個提醒吧!! :P

今晚本來要上當上到成10:00pm, 事關上次個class剛剛撞正畢業典禮, 個hall俾人用左, so 冇得上... 因此今個class就要補番上一次既野加今次d野...(一個原本 2hr 既class變咗做 4hr... @.@) 好彩個Prof 教得幾快, so 9:15pm 就有得走lu~ (再遅d我諗我會Zzzz... 不迥我諗個Prof都講到口乾la~ 3hr of continuous talking... :P )

The weather is so bad at Downtown Toronto today~  Strong wind and constant rain...  Not a very nice weather to be walking on the street... >.<  My umbrella was kept flipping over!!  Luckily, my dad bought me an umbrella that can withstand constant flipping-over (though if it could withstand strong wind, it would have been better...), so the umbrella is still pretty much intact by the end of the day.

*

Today I've finally handed in my application of Pharmacy...  hope everything will goes well...  *Please pray for me...*

*

Oh no~ I just realized that my "break" is over... the horrible tests are coming back again (1st item on the list: Chm test + Phy quiz this Wed~~)!!!!!!!!!   NOOOO!!!! >.<

Despite my hectic schedule, I still reserved some time to watch the Simpsons tonight!!  Why??  Not only is it fun to watch, but also cuz there's a guest-appearance of J. K. Rowling, author of my favourite books: Harry Potter!!!©©©, in tonight's episode!!! ^.^ This was what happened: 

The Simpsons went on a trip to UK, and they bumped into some British celebrities during their visit; and at one point, Lisa bumped into JK Rowling......

>>Lisa: It's It's JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books! You've turned a generation of kids on to reading!

>>JKR:Thank you, young muggle.

>>Lisa: Can you tell me what happens at the end of the series?

>>JKR: He grows up and marries you. Is that what you wanted to hear?

>>Lisa (dreamily): Yes!

............

And... that was it--  JKR's appearance was short, which I found kinna disappointing~~ :P Furthermore, her character sounded kinna snotty too... :P which wasn't really like her~~ (at least I hope so...cuz snotty ppl are the type of ppl I hate most!!!  and I don't really wanna hate a person that I admire so much!!!)  But oh well, the whole episode was really funny overall~~(esp Homer!!©©:"God, I'll spell colour with a "u" if you.... " hahaha...) & at least now I won't regret of not having recorded it~~ hehe

Sometimes, I just wish I could write with both of my hands!!  That way, I can alternate my hands when one of them feels tired after "intensive usage".  When I look at my hands, I can really see the difference between them:  The right is obviously rougher than the left; moreover, I just can’t get rid of that ugly lump on my middle finger!! >.<  (Though it has softened quite a bit comparing with when I was in 4th grade, but still, that lump is still quite visible…)  The more I look at my hands, the more I think they look like the trunk of trees... eeeks!!

Recently, I have found a way to entertain myself at Rez!!  I know I should have realized earlier, but it just so happened that I figured this out just now~  It's--- Listen to radio on the Internet~!! ^.^  It's so 親切 listening to HK radio stations over the Internet!  It's like as if I am actually in HK~~  Make me miss HK even more~~  & at the same time, really helped me relax from the stress I am experiencing~  (which I really need... >.<) 

Thank Lord for the Internet~!! 

Thank Lord for Online-Radio~~!!! 

Thank Lord for Cable Internet Access~~~!!!!

For those who are not blind, you will probably noticed that I've changed the Pic and Song of the Week!! :)  The two pigs in the picture with me are my 2 special companions at Rez.  One is "Bocky" (I know it's supposed to be Porky, but I already have a Porky at home, so this little guy gets a new name~~ hehe...), he's a gift from my sis the night before I move to Rez~~~ It was so sweet of her~~ Bocky follows me home every weekend, and come back to school with me every Sunday night!!  The other, I've named him "Prof".  He's a gift from my dear friends: the Iesfra. The fact that he is in a graduation gown really identify with my current target!!  Hopefully, I will dress in one, someday...

As for the song at Song of the Week~~ 係我近排好鍾意聽既歌我先放出黎, 係誠意推界架~~ 有興趣就聽下啦~! ^.^ 如果鍾意仲可以去Download section 去 download tim!  Enjoy! :)

After attending today's Faculty of Pharmacy's Info Session, it really made me know more about this occupation, and also made me hesitated in whether I should apply or not~~  Before attending this session, I was 100% sure I will definitely wanna get into Pharmacy; but after... I am not so sure...  First of all, the session mentioned that today's pharmacists' focus has shifted from making and sorting out medicine to more about interaction with patients.  Now, honestly I often find myself "suffering" from xenophobia (one of the BIG word I learned from my Sociology textbook, and I think it fits on me quite well... :P) , so I am not sure if this occupation works for me or not...  Secondly, the tuition is rather expensive (>double of my current tuition fee!!! >.<)...  Though money is not the biggest issue here, cuz I am quite positive my parents will support me in anything I choose.  (They have taught me to not let money issue block your path to your dreams~ and anyway, I can always apply for student loans~~!! :P) but still...  Thirdly, the competition seems to be SOOO great!!  Usually only about ~10% of the applicants really get it!!  And quite a few are not even 1st year...  One more thing to worry about: disadvantage in terms of life-experience na... *sigh* 好煩呀!!!

Anyhow, I am gonna apply anyways, and leave the decision to God...

OMG~ 3 classes straight today: Chm-Bio-Phy...真係得撐好辛苦~~ Very sleepy...Luckily it's not my regular schedule~~ :P

I've got my Physics Lab back today~~ My group did soooo bad!!!  But we deserved it...  Cuz we forgot to do some very important parts :P , but our TA still gave us same part-marks (for nothing!!!  Very lenient of him!!! ^.^), because he said we did a lot on the other parts, so he think we should have got more marks~~  (we were also the most efficient group lei~! hehe...)  He even sort of "guarantee" us that we should get more marks for the second lab (if we did ALL the parts...).  I really like my TA~ tho his English is kinna hard to understand (extremely strong accent...), he is always helpful, and even tell our class some of the critical values that we were supposed to find by ourselves!!  He even told us "the expected result" beforehand, so we won't get carried away to the wrong track!!  :D  I wonder if the other demo groups get this sort of "special service" too~~ hehehe...

Today, my church has a mini-celebration for a sister who is going to become a pastor of another church real soon.  On one hand, it's good to know that she is willing to devote her life wholly to serve God; on the other hand it's kinna sad to see an "active" member of a church leaving~  What do I mean by "active"?  I guess it's easier to give an example of who is "inactive": ME!! (tho it's nothing to be proud of~~ :P)  Though I have known God all my life~ and even got baptised~~ I see myself as a failure in Christianity.  I believe in God, I believe in Jesus, I believe in the Holy Spirit... but all I did was believe.  I was never able to employ the act of a good Christian in my daily life:  I feel drowsy (and not exactly asleep... tho pastor might suggest...) during sermon~  I fail to honour my parents in many ways~ (And today is one of those days again... I AM SO SORRY... I JUST CAN'T HELP IT...)  I can't help saying "OMG" and "What da hell" all the time~  I forgot to pray in many situations that ought to pray~  I didn't bring any of my friends to know God~  I always have an excuse in attending church activities~  I don't touch my bible till Sunday~  Sometimes I will think, did I baptise wrongly?  Should I have waited for several years until I feel REALLY ready? (or will this day never come???)  Every communion, I feel shameful standing out there with the rest of the ppl, accepting the wine and the bread of Jesus~~  On my right is a choir member, on my left is one of the helpers at church~  Me?  A "倒米大王"!  Never contributed anything worthwhile~  Just consuming church's give-away, no contribution...  Shame Shame Shame.......  I don't think I even deserve God's love at all~  But still, I can sense his guidance in many ways...  God, why are you so good to me???  You make me feel sooo bad........I am so afraid of the 報應 I will get in the future... since I am sure a bad girl (Yes, I am just a GIRL, and NOT a WOMAN <--in denial due to the approaching of old-age-ness...)........... >.<

Umm... it's so not me to be talking in such a religious manner... just feel like talking about it tonight~~  must be the spirit working on me?! :P

I have been doing a "Good Job" in keeping up with my TV shows viewing today~~ hehe...(一次過睇曬成個禮拜o既份量~~真係報仇咁報~~ 鬼叫我o係宿舍時冇得睇電視咩~! :P)  Tonight, I watched Twins Effect aka 千機變~~ 幾好睇呢~~ 不過套戲既劇情同個戲名好似冇乜 "la-lung" 咁~~ 仲有呀~ 就係 Ekin 死得好唔抵lor~~~ :( But anyway~ it's still a good film! ^.^ Ohh~ by the way, I think Edison's coffin-bed seems so cool!  Even has a screen [I suppose it's a TV?] right above his head, so he can watch TV before sleep!  Very convenient!!  I wish I have a bed like that~ hehehe... 

Nov 14th, 2003 (Fri)

This Friday went on the same way as any other Fridays-- I returned home for the weekend!! ^.^  This has always been my motivation in keeping my work done on time.  I know if I were to stay at Rez for the weekend as well, I would probably slack off a lot during the week, and leave all my work to be done in the weekend~  But with the motivation of NOT wanting to carry all my heavy textbooks home, I sort of "force" my self to get the week's homework done during the week~  In a way, this is a fairly good strategy, as I can really RELAX myself during the weekend, (and "consume" the TV shows my sis recorded for me~! [Thx!] hehe...) and at the same time load up my energy for another exhausting week!! (Each week is like fighting a battle lei~~ :P)

Nov 13th, 2003 (Thu)

It has been such a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time since I last updated my site~!  I felt sooo bad in abandoning it for so long~  For the past few weeks, the damn mid-terms have really occupied 100% of my life...  @.@ It's so exhausting studying one subject after another!!!  and I really mean studying thoroughly...  I have never studied so much in a short time in my life, man!   And beside studying, there are still the usual lectures, homework, labs at the same time!!  OMG~  University is so harsh lei!  They just give you a whole bunch of work all at once, and expect you to find a way to get them all done before the invisible deadline.  I mean invisible as in, they don't really expect you to hand anything in, but if you don't keep up at all time, you just fail miserably, or cram till you're dead b4 the tests...(and still fail...)  There was not a minute that I am not occupied by school work one way or another...  I have always said to myself: I will update my site after I get through all the hideous mid-terms... (counting day by day, hoping my mid-terms will be over soon... one of my biggest motivation lei~ hehehe...) and finally, the days came and gone~  and now I am back again~  Unfortunately, I know these days will not last long, as more tests are coming up real soon...  This time, I think I better start my studying schedule earlier... and hopefully, I will have a better arrangement of my time, so that I will update more often again~~ (don't wanna abandon my beautiful site la~! ^.^)

By the way, I just watched the 3rd Harry Potter movie: Prisoner of Azakaba's trailer yesterday!!! It's so BRILLIANT!!!  The only thing I am not satisfy with, is the existence of the giant toads... it's soooo unnecessary~~ (it's not even part of the book!!! >.<)  But anyway, the other parts made up for it~  And also, now that I know which part the toads will come up, I will know when to look away~! hehehe... (trying very hard to think positively... :P)

Really looking forward to the movie!!! Can't wait!!! (till next summer~~~)

Today is the first day of snowing of Toronto's  Winter 2003~ (what a perfect accompaniment to my new site's look! :D )!!  It's SOOOO windy today as well!  I almost got blown away by the wind lei~!  Wind and wet snow... yikes~ not a very nice couple~~  Hope the weather will turn better tomorrow~!!

Prior to Nov 13th, 2003 (Thu)

I know, this part is sooo unnecessary~~~  But I must record this down for my future read~~ (Reading my previous weblogs makes me smile~ but occasionally make me feel stupid... hehe..)

I watched Matrix Revolution with my family just last Sat.  It was a truly amazing movie, and overall, a truly incredible trilogy.  Although I have read some bad reviews about the movie, I disagree with them all.  It could be my bias, since my definition for love and hate is so definite:  Either I love something or hate something, not much in between.  Once I love something, I love them always, no matter what~ (and same for hatred, unfortunately… it’s a long process for me to suddenly love something that I hate~).  Anyway, I found the film, the particularly the 3rd installment of the trilogy, very emotional (and bloody… -.-b), and the whole of the trilogy full of wit.  I really admire the gift of the screenwriters and directors (who are basically the same people, in this case).  Most importantly, the ideas they came up with at the beginning was very original.  The ideas they have input into the movie really make people think and rethink about their lives.  Through this movie, I can sort-of see why people in the ancient past would not believe in Jesus, even though he had done so many miracles—No matter how many miracles one performs, it is up to the people’s faith in choosing whether to believe or not.  If one has no faith, no matter how many miracles are performed in front of their eyes, it will not waver one’s belief.   I suppose this movie had also cleared out some of my religious query that I will probably not able to learn in Sunday school too~! :P

*

I felt kinna sad after watching the movie.  Sad cuz it’s the last of the trilogy; sad cuz …*spoiler* …Trinity and Neo died (but I guess it’s better seeing both of them died than having one remain alive and be sad for the rest of his/her life~~ BUT… it would have been much better if they BOTH lived at the end… :P thought that wouldn’t be a too much of a grand ending to such an epic film~~); sad cuz there’s gonna be no more of the Matrix series…   wooowooooo………. (but IF there's more, it won't be as good without Trin and Neo~~)
