2010-01-07T21:54:00.002-08:00

I'm getting back into the routine of "School". Waking up early EVERY SINGLE day.. without fail, going to ALL my classes.. (so far at least. heheheh) So i'm sorry that this hasn't been updated much! aiyo.. joy so busy. AHHAHA. why u ask? Coz i wanna do like superbly better and improve for this semester. Though i haven't gotten any of my marks back ( -.- ), i'm sure i didn't do as good as i expect myself to do. HAHhaha. ohwells.
------------

My geob class for this sem is super interesting! At least to me la. It's mainly geology. So.. its the study of ROCKS. NICE RIGHT. well at least to me la! I find rocks so nice. Esp the Sparkly rocks. AHHAHAHAHA. Alistair said he'll pass me his "sparkly rocks" when he comes back fr reading break. WOO HOO.

ANw, since its back to sch, and back to a routine, I've been cooking again.

I bought LAP CHIONG. --> is this how to spell? chinese sausage la!!! SO, i decided to cook and fry it with rice, so that i would have flavourful rice!

The white stuff on the side is for making.. more... TANGYUAN. yumms!

I love making these tangyuan balls.
HOwever i think i gotta learn how to make the tangyuan balls with filling. Don't you think. WEll i dun have pictures, but this time, instead of immersing the tangyuan into gnger soup, i just put soya bean milk! hahah :D also very nice. BUt super je-lut la! SEE HOW MANY I MAKE>?!??! sure eat til die right?!?! LOL.

My first time frying lap chiong!

Adding the rice!!

Ok, i'm not that lame la. i didn't just eat it like this. I made omelette with egg as well!! yumms :D:D

Tmr is already friday! WHen ure in sch, time flies just like that. THe first week of sch is still a breeze though. Next week is when the going gets a little more rough. Essay routines begin once again -,-

Well, even though i pretty much suck at writing essays, i'm pretty much lookin forward to the time that i start gruelling and blow my brains out trying to figure out the best way to express myself :) Artsone has been quite a journey, and will cont to be..

OK LA. i'm off to do geob and psych review now. AHH. so guai right?? i know. THANKS. heh ehe :D:D

back in portland,back to sch, back to... LIFE. haha

2010-01-04T21:01:00.002-08:00

the title says it all.

I came back, and i cleaned up, washed loads of laundry, and dusted practically my whole room! woohoo. accomplishment.

Today, first day of sch. To me, it seems like im back to the regular routine. Not much change in my schedule. Well, the impt thing, when facing monday blues, is.. TO JUST GET THROUGH IT! :D

tmr - seminar and then psych!

happy 2010

2009-12-31T13:01:00.014-08:00

i was reminded of how i spent NYE 2008 last last yr.. entering into 2009 with Gen 6.3. With people who I got to know through the one yr that i was them..

Still remb hw the girls came and stayed over at my place and how we were up til the sun came up and shone on the mornign of 2009 *cheesy*. OH YA> we're clever ok, we played scrabble or sthg. haha.

I can't believe its already been a year..
I never thought it would be this hard to be away from friends and family, and friends who became like family. Not being able to be there for them when they go through stuff, or doing crazy silly things, or even encountering God tgt.

Joanne, who joned us later one in the cell. But became such a JOY to be with. i remember how she screamed when i rolled out the naruto ball. HAHAHAHA funny

Emmeworm, who always calls my JOY BOY. irritates the life outta me !! LOL (guess wad, ure still the only one who calls me that ahha)

Xianting, looks innocent. BUT IS THE GROSSEST OF THE THREE OF US (janicepoh, me and XT) dogdog

Victoria MAk, the first of the members that i really knew. since we were from the same grp in camp..!! hoho, i like gg to her hse :P

Christel, baabaabaaa... remb when we had BS is mac, and ended up webcamming with random ppl =.= HAHAHAHAH

JANICEPOH, my partner in crime... for... FARTING.. BURPING.. SINGING!! shes game for anythg that i psycho her to do. LOL miss you LOTS. no one here at all is like u. coz, no one is as childish as us. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA :P

Last but not least.

Miss ELIZaBETH KOH. haiyo. this one, i think i write 1000 words also not enough. To me, we will always be like david and johnathan. We've known each other since i was 12. But its amazing how God brought us tgt and made us cross paths and how we were just there for one another. I know i'm far, and its not the same. ANd we dun talk. AS COMPARED TO LAST TIME LIKE ALMOST EVERYDAY. but somehow, even if we don't talk, i know u know i know blahblah. but i know you know that i'm always thinking of you (eeyeeh, that came out wrong somehow) haha. butseriously, you're always in my heart! and i can't wait to see you again. But before that day comes, you're in my prayers, and u will always be my one and only BB :D

Don't forget the guys!!!

Brandon - fat tan bro! hahaha. always making fun of me. but i remb how we played audition!! HAHAHA. REMEMBER. and we always have boxing matches. rather i just, PUNCH THE LIGHTS OUTTA HIM! Oh man, i will nvr forget ur scary girl laffter and screams =.=

Bryan - TAN BRUDDER. I dunno if he remembers, but i remb scaring him the first time i saw him when we had cell at brandons hse. "HI LITTLE BOY. GG TO PLAY SOCCER AR??" hgahaha, i said sumthg along that line. but i'm glad he joined the cell. and he will always be my tan brudder. he and his goofy smile.

weeshan - i knew him since along time ago, and who wld have ever thought we'd be in the same cell!!!!!!

hey.. am i forgetting any guys??

OH YAH!!

Who can forget MR joseph chan.

all the walking back to bus 3, talking. All his MOOD SWINGS.. and seeing him become more and more manly (no he didn't grow taller) but he took up more responsibility.. just LOVE talking to this boy. esp when JANICE is arnd. weetweet. HAHAHAHHA. he's eally lame when he starts acting like a dog. =.= LOL LOL

THanks 6.3.. for giving me all the wonderful memories. and helping me through a very hard time of my life. I'm thankful for the chance to know everyone and im sure God will let our paths cross again :)

i miss everyone like crazy. and i think sumtyms i can drown i n the tears that come with the loneliness...

however, God is good right...
As i look back on the 5mths that i've been here, 1 see how God never forgot me, and led me to all the right people..

Cameron - my canto brother. the one to go to if u wanna go exploring. my fellow tourist!

Andrew - aiyo, act cute. no nd to say anymore

Andy - oh man, i think he's even more act cute than andrew. on top of that, act sexy oso!! AHHH. looking forward to more lame times with u grandson!!

Andrew's brother - erm shit. i forgot his name. HAHAHA. the guy with a head full of hair.!

Lizzie - hyperactive bunnie. haha :D

Angela - if u need to study hard, study with her. But, if u desperately need to party, call her too!!

Janarthan (not in the pic) - yes brown person. you are irritatingly nice as a friend. HAHA contradictory.. hope u get a good camera!

Also, lets not forget Alistair - the guy i met in geob! its been great that u can join and hang with all the asians :D:D best that u can cook! looking forward to more classes with u :D:D hope u had a great new year and christmas with steph!!

Its comforting to have someone fr sg here. EVen tho we are far from our friends, i'm glad that we make gd friends too!! You're a great listening ear. and, a great singaporean that siams everything with me. HEH HEH HEH.

Mina - the FIRST korean girl i met here. the only person i know who aft drinking 3sips of wine goes totally red and scares the shit outta all of us. but also the sweetest and like absolutely very very nice person. hoho (bad eng there! but who cares right, as long as the feelings of the heart are felt) THanks for bringing in more korean girls and introducing us to ur friends. And also talking to us in english, coz u noe we dun uds korean.. youre so very nice! :D:D

Joon - the person whos been helping me out the most since i've been here. and also the person who introduced me to everyone of the ppl above. Funny how things have turned out. BUt i'm glad you followed ur heart. AHAHHA. :D probably the one person that i've been seeing around the most this past 5 mths. why? BECAUSE HE'S A STALKER WHOS BEEN IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ELECTIVE CLASSES!! thanks for being a greatgreat person, whos always there and willing to bear with my childish ways hoho :)

I'm superduper thankful that i met people at UBC.

More than people, im thankful I met these friends :) I don't even know how our paths crossed (well actually i do know) but aft a series of "unfortunate events", these are the ppl who i've been studying with, who have tahan-ed with me when i'm in a bad mood. Who take all my childish craziness. And i'm sure, its not me, but they who have brought JOY into my life this whole time that i've been in vancouver.

I'm just thankful.

I look forward to 2010.
I'm sure all of us will do well, EVEN IF ubc is out to get us! :D

second chance

2009-12-30T13:09:00.002-08:00

you know how people in general usually see the new year as a chance to change things in their life and to make things better. Ie: starting a new schedule, including more exercise, healthier diet, study harder etcetcetc...

~~ the new year as a new chance to begin sthg new...

I THINK...

LASIK..

can be likened to a second chance..
coz, its like a second chance at good vision. A second chance not to spoil it like before. Don't watch tv too close, don't use the computer too often, don't read in the dark. etcetc.

sooo, i got a second chance! with my vision that is. LAsik is GREAT.

i have to say though, i think my vision is still not totally clear. Still have a bit of astigmatism... so sad :'( but what do to, no choice right?? at least, i'm not totally blind..

I hope i can make the best of this second chance :)

sthg i wanna accomplish in 2010

2009-12-29T18:38:00.003-08:00

A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2010!! (i nvr do new yr resolutions..)
but....

nx year...

I WANT TO BAKE!!! as in, start baking la. since i have a kitchen and an oven, i should use it!! :D

*cheers* heres to freshly baked muffins, cookies, brownies and the like :)

fireplaces

2009-12-28T14:35:00.003-08:00

I've been sleeping by a fireplace for the past 5 nights. haha, of course, it was not lit. I don't think its a real fire place, tho it surely looks like one. Mayb its one of those heated fireplaces. not real fire that means.

Honestly, i don't think we would ever find a fire place in sg right? afterall, its not practical at all. Just wondering how many houses have fireplaces.?

i think.. a fireplace sounds like a gd place to cook marshmallows. Or, destroy evidence, Or, mayb even aft killing someone, put the remains in the fireplace =.= err, ok, i go for the first option.

I tink i will opt for a bbq pit instead!!! :p

dont judge a book by its cover

2009-12-26T22:11:00.001-08:00

3rd day of snow

2009-12-17T15:42:00.007-08:00

While studying for psych in IKB.. we received a text from andy "Its snowing!" sthg lidat.. sooo.. we took a short break and went out!! :D

For the first time ever, i took pic of snow falling... The fact that you could actually see the snow that was falling was really nice.

Nichola and Eden in awe of the snow

That's me, and i think. I look.. overly excited. LOL

All 3 of us.. this is a really nice photo !

Me!! Joon was too tall, so he got cut out. Too bad. LOL

Falling snoww.....

Eden and Nix in a bout of snow.

Unfortunately, i have to say.. this is a HILARIOUS shot! LOL. Nix's face kena covered by a snowflake! LOL :P

This is a fountain outside of the library.. it was frozen! Nix is testing to see if its really frozen not!

And this is me trying to break the ice with my foot. It seemed sturdy enough. Mayb we could do some ice skatin! :O

Nix ready to throw some snowballs!

Snow ball remnants.

Pic with lamp post. Romantic right. Thats their level okay! :P

NICE? hahaha :D i like this shot.

Drawing by Eden?Nichola? not sure which one, but im sure they both saying they love me la! thanks . heh heh heh

I was thirsty. (okay, i know i look like a monster.)

FEED US!

Upon coming back in, my fingers.. wah, all ready sia. Obviously right, used bare hands to play with snow. LOL LOL it was fun :D

Lastly some vids :D

This one is of joon, deprived of ice, starts skating on snow. Im sorry my laughter was so prominent. I simple found it very very funny. LOL. Like one tall dude sliding arnd in the snow. hahaha. i guess it would have been even funnier if he fell. too bad he didn't LOL

This one is of our snowball fight. Nichola throws at Joon, Joy throws at Joon, Nichola throws at Joy, Joy throws at Nichola, Nichola throws at Joy, Joy throws at Eden. Basically thats wad this video is about. LOL

2nd Day of Snow

2009-12-17T16:17:00.003-08:00

Snowing, and this time my cam had batt, soooo... i took more pics!! :D

SNOW IS NICE :D

I have to say snow beats rain anytime. And it DOES feel kinda weird to be taking pics amongs a white colored background:D

eat oranges!

2009-12-15T19:10:00.001-08:00

My head is spinning from all the studying! :(

Oranges are good for you! Vitamin C, which i need alot of!! I think i shld start eating like a banana everyday too, coz not only does it help u shit, but according to Cam, it has lotsa sodium and some other thing that makes your brain work super well!!

Anyway, so my FIRST final of the term is tomorro : Psychology.

During the 3 mths of taking psych, i've had mixed feelings.

I still remb, aft the first test, and getting a supersuper low score, i questioned if psych is really sthg i wanna do. For the 2nd test, studied harder than the first and that increased my percentage by 15%. And now, i'm studying for the 3rd and final of the term.. studying hard, brain is literally pain aft all the reading. LOL.

After much questioning about whether i really wanna pursue psych as a minor, i still have mixed feelings. But i'm not too worried, aft all, i still have another one whole term to find out if i like psych. Honestly, i do, to some it may be a whole shitload of crap. But to me, its like, i love the info im finding out. Yes, its hard to remb, manymany terms, but if its sthg i enjoy, i'm sure that i'll do better.

OKAY la, i'm done with my short break. Back to studying. I have to recap chapter5 - (freaking 40pages) and then recap 6&7.

ps: i can't believe my final starts at 8am =.= 0.o sobsobsob. say ur prayers for me! :P

tummy...

2009-12-13T23:32:00.002-08:00

ACHE.

yah.. joy is having a tummy ache. sobsobsobsobsob. pain sia.

ANYWAY. today.. wah, super pretty man the streets, covered with snow. Too bad i was at home the whole day studying for psych, and only found out when parveen came home and was like "Did u see the snow?" stupid me goes, "its snowed"

So i went out expecting the same thin shaved ice thing. to my shock. EVeryWHERE was WHITE. wahh.. super pretty. I'll take photos tmr! for one, its already dark when i went out, and also my cam batt got prob!

I had my first snow ball fight today :) JOY EMERGED CHAMPION. heehee

Romeo&Juliet

2009-12-12T17:34:00.005-08:00

This is from November the 28th! when we were all excited to go watch Romeo and Juliet the Play by capilano College. Since one of my friends from church helped to do the costumes, i really wanted to go check it out.

I was so excited, and fretting over whether we would make it in time.

In fact, all of us rushed down from church, except cam that is :P

I look absolutely horrible here.
LOL

Finally we reached Capilano. =.=
Someone (I can't remb who) goes , "Joy, you sure the play is today?"
I'm like "YES!!"

HAHHAA>

joy - trying to force the door open

WELL. AT LEAST WE TOOK THIS SUPERB SHOT, THAT I LOVE ALOT ALOT. heehee. sthg abt the roundness and how we framed the shot. super duper nice!! :D

snow!

2009-12-12T14:32:00.000-08:00

So i spotted my first snow! outside my house...

It's so little that initially, i thought it was sand. But i took off my glove and reached down to touch the "sand", only to realize that, IT REALLY IS SNOW. super little though, its more like shaved ice on the road.

BUt still, i must say, experiencing even A LITTLE bit of snow in the first time for 15yrs was kinda nice :D

Pretty huh? this is the view from the back of my house.. PS:guess wad time it is??? it was only like 4-ish??? alr so dark. Sian man, its only going to get darker earlier and earlier. LOL

Lastly, a BLUR pic of me and the "christmas tree" in the background. heh heh :D

Check out to expiry date. But only few mths, so shld be fine la :D

Oh, on a side note, i painted my nails!! heehee. FUnny, it seems to match with the packaging of the eye mask. LOL

After much effort, finally got the masks out of the packet.. Gel! my fave.

So School is over, and its exam period right now! Everyone is silent and quietly studying. AHHA, yes, finals and the mood is gloomy. Well not really la, i guess we are still handling it pretty well.

We tried to get a seat in the library yest to study, to no avail, and ending up bringing our timhortons lunch to the SUB. =.=

honestly, i didn't think the library would be so packed, since its hols now right?? AHHA.

just a few more days before i finish my last exam, and them i'm off to portland, and then, it'll be the new year. WOW> that would mark being away from home for 5 whole months. ....

So anywayy.......

this is a squirrel.

LOL. unfortunately it was squashed by some unknown vehicle. Eden, NIchola, joon and Cameron keep insisting that its leaves... Look CLOSELY ppeopl, enlarge the photo or sthg.. its GUTS and INTESTINES. eww right? must have been freshly squashed, because the intestines and inner body parts are still red and not washed out by the rain. sad sia, it even lost its head -mayb its stuck on the wheel of the car that squashed it =.=

anyone for a serving of squashed squirrel??

disclaimer: by no means did i intend to give anyone a heart attack. you were warned :P
