My Literature Awakening

Well apparently I ought to be sound asleep rite at this moment; however, since I'm waiting for my Bus254 notes to print...here I am...blogging as always when I can steal time hehe^.^

So...I never realized I'm at the end of June~ (that's a congrad to me *patpat*)...in terms of reflections: yes...lots~
I am sure glad the month is almost done...yet I have to say the things I feared happened (i.e. horrible marks on midterms)...moreover, the things which I feared but shouldn't have happened ..happened...yet amist the dreary circumstances..there's always stolen moments of delight and pleasure (i.e. watching numerous movies and enjoying soccer games...so woot me~)

Yesyes~despite my reflections on the month of June (ending w/ my last midterm today/Monday <-- for me), let's talk about some Lit/Engl awakening ^.^ and the artist w/in me reminiscing old life~

1) So this happened some time this month....once upon an english tutorial/lecture....as the professor starts speaking about literature (actually I can't remember the specific thing she talked about...but I remember this), the romantic poet - Byron's name ringed my mind.....
Maybe it's b/c it's the summer season...or maybe I just regret so much not taking poetry ....
I miss literature and I miss reading poems from the romantic era.....and out of all romantic poetry...Byron's my favourite...especially this piece (this is a definite post lol~):

Apostrophe to the Ocean,' Lord Byron

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the universe, and feel
What I can never express, yet cannot all conceal.

Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean, roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with. ruin . his control
Stops with the shore, upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own,
When, for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan.
Without a grave, unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown.

His steps are not upon thy path, thy fields
Are not a spoil for him, thou dost arise
And shake him from thee; the vile strength lie wields
For earth's destruction thou dost all despise,
Spurning him from thy bosom to the skies,
And send'st him, shivering in thy playful spray
And howling, to his gods, where haply lies
His petty hope in some near port or bay,
And dashest him again to earth; there let him lay.

The armaments which thunderstrike the walls
Of rock-built cities, bidding nations quake
And monarchs tremble in their capitals,
The oak leviathans, whose huge ribs make
Their clay creator the vain title take
Of lord of thee, and arbiter of war?
These are thy toys, and as the snowy flake,
They melt into thy yeast of waves, which mar
Alike the Armada's pride, or spoils of Trafalgar.

Thy shores are empires, changed in all save thee.
Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage, what are they?
Thy waters washed them power while they were free,
And many a tyrant since; their shores obey
The stranger, slave, or savage; their decay
Has dried up realms to deserts, not so thou,
Unchangeable save to thy wild waves' play.
Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow;
Such as creation's dawn beheld, thou rollest now.

Thou glorious mirror, where the Almighty's form
Glasses itself in tempest; in all time,
Calm or convulsed in breeze, or gale or storm,
Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime
Dark-heaving boundless, endless, and sublime;
The image of eternity, the throne
Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime
The monsters of the deep are made; each zone
Obeys thee, thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.

And I loved thee, Ocean! and my joy
Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be
Borne, like thy bubbles, onward; from a boy
I wantoned with thy breakers?they to me
Were a delight; and if the freshening sea
Made them a terror??twas a pleasing fear,
For I was as it were a child of thee,
And trusted to thy billows far and near,
And laid my hand upon thy mane as I do here.

Wow ...took me quite sometime to find this poem online...(and I apologize for the question marks...I can't remember what words they are to fill them in...considering I read this in gr. 11 hehe~) But yesyes..this is still my fav poem~~~ and probably will always be.....I don't understand why I love this so much...but whenever reading it....a mixture of freedom, pleasure, sadness possess me.....I feel like becoming one with the ocean (eventhough this is probaly quite impossible for someone like me who doesn't swim lol~)

So yesyes..this is it for now...w/ this poem I'll end my literature awakening... I still wish I took poetry instead of university writing....sigh*...More poems to come later when I have another lit. awakening^.^

My Busy Week

hehe~ i'll keep this small lol~ (I already spent too much time on this tonight lol~)

So yapyap.....I LOVE CHANGES --> I hate stability, or should I rather say...stability bores me. So as a result, I made majormajor alteration to my blog and would always do this once in a while to avoid sameness (if that's a word)....
So how does the new page look?
[Sigh* being a comp idiot like me...I spent god knows how much time trying to make sense of computer language ...trying out here and there....and here's the result...
Of course, I still don't understand the following:
1) How come my playlist only plays two songs >.
2) How can I change the background color of the content into see-through whitish?
3) How do I take those annoying 3 dots off the stupid page?
4) How do I make my KAGAYA background fixed, as my content rolls along?..
Guess it will take some long time before I can do that ....(tears), but I'm glad w/ my progress now]

So this week was (sigh) ...I can't even remember the details...so sad I wasn't able to write stuff down over the past week.....I can so remember there were so many stuff I wanted to say.....Oh..here's something...

(I) I got a B+ in my MC midterm for my Sociology (I found this out on Wednesday) .....This made me had the second break down since June began.....(where the last one was just one week ago...)....Well, I'm so w/o plan right now....in the past two semesters I can so foresee what mark I would be getting in which course and if I can retain my scholarship or not...but now...(sigh)
For some reasons...two thoughts came to mind afterward the breakdown...
1) I totally regret missing AIESEC GA the week before....b/c I could have had fun and still got the same mark as I did now (if I knew I was gonna do this bad <--my standard wise ..no offence to my friends w/ diff. standard)
2) I miss my Campus Crusade Bible Study friends a whole lot >.<
3) I should really be thinking about what study method to use for the rest of this semester and how to pull up my mark, instead of the above two thoughts....

(II) Update 2: Today the AIESEC Scavenger Hunt me and Kat hosted finally came to a close....I hope people enjoyed it....On my part, I really learnt a whole lot (where I should improve, what I should do for the future etc.)...Overall, I think I could have done better; therefore, I would only rate my planning as 65 - 70% (again my standard hehe~) But I guess life is about learning --> I never thought I would do 100% the first time....and I'll bet I probably wouldn't even rate myself 100% the n-th time that I plan such event. But I'm glad I learnt^.^ and I'll definitely try my best to make future events even better~~
But I'm happy though...at least I love the place - Granville Island & it was sunny :D:D

(III) I finally watched soccer/football after two consecutive weeks of 4 midterms and whole loads of assignments...I watched Germany v.s. Ecuador, Italy v.s. Czech, U.S. v.s. Ghana and Japan v.s. Brazil..
**Yesyes..so far Germany is my favourite (very co-operative group, very strategic, very organized and very precise when playing <--- at least these are what I think)
**Brazil, on the contrary, seems a little unco-operative...but they are really talented ..I have to say.....however, I find it hard to believe that a team would win just b/c it contains talented individuals...I think team is about teamwork...
**Italy...hehe....I realize they have a really awesome and good-looking goalie (although my sis said the goalie looks like Aladdin haha~)
**The only game I didn't pay that much attention to was Ghana v.s. U.S. --> well I was eating w/ my parents at a near-home restaurant and busy w/ eating my delicious Pho...which I haven't eaten and miss eating for a long time lol~ But I did notice Ghana plays the game rather fiercely......but other than that I can't remember..

(IV) sigh* guess I won't be posting for probably another week....w/ the following schedule:
Sunday: English midterm studying
Monday: Accouting doing
Tuesday: Event Aftermath Write-up
Wednesday: Doctor's appointment & Resume writing
Thursday, Friday and on: assignments doing?? studying?? (sigh..always lots to do)

MegaPost!

hehe~~ so bare w/ me ..this is a huge post combining yesterday and today's reflections on life (lol)~
Yesterday studying at WMX:
So yesterday I had to go to CGA dinner....so I bused to school right after work ended....and ate lunch at Ravens...after lunch I went to study in the balcony of WMX 3rd floor study area....
Yesyes...it was chilly and the weather wasn't that great~~ but I think that's partly made the view looks literally "one of a kind"!
While I was studying (and obviously not very concentrated <-- maybe this is why I slept at 4AM hehe~), I looked across at the mountains....the dark-grey clouds layered over one another in chunks. There were fractions of sunlight peaking through the empty spaces made by the intersections of clouds, dispersing the mountains into multiple shades of green. It's just an amazing view...Looking at the view dominated by serenity, I felt abstracted from the presence of the school environment....I felt that nature was all around me. A mixture of feelings swarmed me - excited, calm, frightened, dreaming...
For an instant, I felt like it's the end of the world...for an instant, I felt that this is the quietness before a storm.....and then I recognized...it would be the end of the world..if I don't go back to my studying hehe~

CGA Dinner:
so..this is CGA dinner....Diamond Alumni Centre is so pretty, w/ such an awesome view....(w/ all my awe's ...it's obvious.this is my first time there.. yesyes...Raheel said he's been there four times already....so not as excited haha~) Yes...from the balcony of the centre, the the greeness of the tree tips separate to an unbelievably serence view of the (Fraser?) River and North Van (<--as Laura said). Although the weather wasn't as nice to see any reflections of gleaming sunset on the water, the small islands in the river were surrounded by clouds of mist, giving off a mysterious but serene feeling --> it's just awesome (no other words)! ....if ppl ever tell me now that SFU is ugly...I'll seriously argue intensely otherwise hehe~~
Anyway...food was awesome too~~ beef , potatoes..lotsa stuff..hehe but I don't know the english terms for these trays so......won't go too deep in this....but one thing....I'd say the food was even better than my grad cruise dinner, which was already pretty good and expensive.....And what's more the dinner was free!! (and we had yummy cheesecake for dessert ^.^~yummy~)
AND OF COURSE, MOST IMPORTANT - THE PEOPLE~~
Wow~ I never realized so many CGAs are SFU aluminum (about 700 CGA students are SFU aluminum presently...and more in numbers for actual CGA)...hehe:D:D (makes me proud to be in this school)...People are all friendly and resourceful at the dinner.....but one thing I regretted not doing and learned from my regrets is that-----THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH before going to these events......(i.e. some of the people I knew were able to really connect and conduct an interesting conversation with the CGAs and were offered co-op and work positions from the CGAs, in which a lot of them own firms etc----> this is something I should be trying to do also....well at least for future references...therefore I should be more prepared before going to such events next time...)
Overall, going to the CGA dinner benefited me in such a way b/c it really made me think what I want to do ...where I want to head...what are my plans for my career future.... In that sense...it was really a valuable experience^.^ (Of course, other stuff I learnt were what questions to ask...how to conduct conversation in such formal settings...where to situate myself at dinners......many many more valuable experiences that will make my next time going to such dinners/events even a better experience than this time ~~ HAPPY!) And of course, I definitely have to mention...I won a prize too of $25 gift certificate to a restaurant/bar :D:D
I am really glad that I went despite I had to stay until 4AM trying to study for BUEC 232 midterm !!

More to come tonight!!

CGA Dinner tomorrow --> excitement


hehe~ I make this quick...well..midterm today was okay...I should have done better though.....sigh*
Well studying made me too busy to reflect the day >.< (basically I cant remember anything other than midterm....) O yeah...one thing...I misplaced my work uniform somewhere ...I dunno...so frustrated right now...and totally can't think of what I'm gonna do.... Yesyes...and still stressed out about Friday's (buec232) midterm and next Tuesday's (managerial accounting) midterm...... Sigh* (lots of sighs today ...hehee) isn't it ridiculous that I'm going to CGA dinner before a midterm...(but then I signed up and paid for it...and it will definitely allow me more understanding about CGA <--what it is and how is it different from CA/CMA etc...which I really need to know to plan for coop and perhaps future career). So in that sense, I'm actually quite excited today ...althu I'm more excited with the part that it's in Diamond University Centre..which I've never went before. Wah~ can't wait to see all those nice views (althu I should be more looking forward to meeting all those ppl hehe~) and eat the yummy dinner ^.^ But then again...it does take a lot of time off for studying >___< which sux...anyway..bac to studying~~

hehe~althu this pic got nothing to do w/ wut I have to say...but wow~ it's such a nice dress <---one of my incentive for studying.....I guess the pic is to motivate myself~~haha~

Bursting into Tears

So what I realized today was that: June is such a hard month ~~ I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS IS OVER!
and how I came to realize...u'll see~ (and btw this is still post for monday lol~ <--at least I'm still on my monday althu it is literally tuesday)

So yes...JUNE = HARD MONTH:
Well, I was in my MD meeting today (for friends who don't know about AIESEC and how wonderful AIESEC is --- MD stands for Member development portfolio in AIESEC, a non-profit student-run super-fun [in both academic and non-academic ways] organization on campus) , and our lovely vice-president MD Sepi told us about the grouse grind she went to over the weekend as part of personal update...
She said it was fun, but at same time a super huge challenge...she said she literally burst into tears b/c of both how challenging it was and the satisfaction she derived from overcoming the challenge....
well....of course after hearing that....on one hand I rily feel like teaming up w/ the MD girls or friends in general to do some grouse grinding...
On the other hand, for a split second...a thought came to mind ---- I feel like I am Grouse grinding (althu not literally) right now right at this moment for the month of June~
It feels like the end of June resides on the top of that mountain...and I have to accomplish all kinds of tasks and endure all types of challenges such as midterms + presentation + reports+ homework + coop and bol I + club events + wrk just to get there. It feels like I'm presently at the bottom of the mountain looking up, so scared of what's to come that I'm gonna burst into tears....like Sepi who really did. But yeah I guess at I just have to face this , expand my limits and make it there...I mean afterall this isn't grouse grinding where I would have a choice of not to go.....*sigh* <--- lol~friends treasure this moment...it is very rare that Lucy is pessimistic and cynical ~~

But yeah..that's my reflection on grouse grinding althu I've never literally been there....(but definitely wanto go sometimes after June!) Oman...I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MONTH TO BE OVER!!
Last but not least ..thx lots to all my friends who're here to support me and making sure I don't break down (special thx to Nancy today for all the encouragements today ^.^)
Yapyap~ and thx to Danny for awesomely linking me to his blog~~ I'll definitely do so when I figure out how >.< (Danny...u knw my computer skills...)

I hope I'll get to post tomorrow >.< ....(which means I have to have finished all my studying for Sociology midterm on Wednesday....does this sound like a realisitc goal? I certainly hope so...)

Reflections on my Weekend

So, this weekend will be over in about (wow) 10hrs. I meant to do some reflection tonite or yesternite (<--this morning at 12 a.m.) but never got to it~lol~

Wut are some interesting things this weekend neh ? (Nana said blog should be a place to write down details of life before they get erased from my memory <---very very true lol~)

Yesternite...me and my sis started watching Hannibal (althu I only watched about 50mins of it)...yesyes..a very sersious movie...but I, for some reason, laughed my way thru the 50mins of watching ...why?! -----Cuz my sis keep on saying Hannibal =/sounds like "Honeybowl" <--which takes away half of the seriousness...and then not to say ...she kept on making other hilarious jokes thruout...

However, one reflection/insight developed from the movie was....when my mom asked in a very very surprising tone, " why would a girl want to be a detective (an usually male oriented job), like that leading actress in the movie?" <---- This rily made me think about why shouldn't a girl be a detective? And then my thoughts shifted to Sociology where this type of bias (female stick to female roles and jobs w/in society) is embodied in our social value for centuries, and that all humans, living in the society, are being socialized to conform w/ standards and to obtain values (bias) upheld by this society...and so on and so on...---> so this developed into a chat/discussion among me,my mom and sis during the movie ---> and so all three of us never really was watching that movie at all during the 50 mins it was on (I guess this is why we only watched 50mins of it --- we never got attached to the plot etc of the movie b/c we were chatting)!

And then one more thing worth mentioning (b/c it cracked me and my sis up so bad) was:
After the movie, I went back to my usual -- study (BUEC... which is still not done after spending 4hrs on 1 chapter and still have 2 chapters to go >___<), w/ my stereo on playing J-rock. And this is what I start hearing from my opened window -- girl's voice in a really exciting/high tone (somewhat overpowering my j-rock): "Awww....yes......ahhhhh....." for about 15 mins ~~~ (of course w/ some simple reasoning...we all know what the voice is about lol~although I'm still not sure if it's coming from my neighbor, my neighbor's computer/tv, or some people having fun in their car) however, disturb as I was in my studying and not realizing how loud/scary/wicked the next song my Gackt was...I decided to turn up the volume on my stereo system.....
AND when the next song came up w/ super scary screams (like most J-rock).....the screaming girl stopped! <---and this is when my sis rushed in the room and said something I'll always remember, " Hey~ you just made the guy go fla--d!" (and of course, we could no longer hold our laughter for the day~~)

So that's the R-rated joke of the day to conclude my weekend posting~~ (Now I should really go back to my study ....and hopefully won't desert this blog due to the upcoming month full of midterms >.<)

My 3mins Addiction!


So why did I name this post "My 3mins Addiction"?
Well, obviously...I got addicted to my blog...I'll try to be good <--- post right now instead of using my precious homeworking time on this tomorrow... But for ppl who don't know me well...I tend to be addicted to something really quickly and get off it really quickly. Right now it's hard to say when I'll be able to get off my current addiction - blogging, but you never know! (Apparently, I don't even know.) But what's important right now is for me to find a way to attach some type of music to my precious blog ^___^. I can't wait to put Koda Kumi's song on here, which is another of my addiction so far. Yes yes, it would be so awesome to hear her "Someday" on here; well, at least for me lol~ (The tunes to this melody has accompanied me through numerous recent boring bus trips and countless sleep deprived nights.) Presntly, I have just completed let's say about 1/2 of my accounting homework, which I started working on since 11:00p.m. I'd say it'd only about 1/2 b/c I've done the 7 short calculation questions w/ 6 long questions left undone. Well, I'll definitely attempt to do them w/in the next three days...(most likely Monday<---the last day..something I tend to do a lot recently). Lastly, is to Nana: Yapyap..I got my idea of "Impromptu" from your awesome site ^___^, although the "Fantasie" part is really from Chopin~ Sigh* although it would really be super nice if I could somehow twitch my poor little blog suffering from my awful computer skills to your superb designed site...that would be awesome and not to say miraculous (for me) hehe! Let's stick a pic of my dream house/piano here:

Wow~ My #1 BLOG!

The reason why I finally decided to get a blog is b/c:

1) I literally DESERTED my xanga a long time ago.

2) Everyone I know seems to have some form of online journal.

3) Even my sis and my friend Nana blog.

4)......I don't even know~ lol.

Anyway...I used to think blogging is really time wasting....but I guess I still think this to some extent (no offence to ppl I knw who do lol~) But I guess ...this would be some way to pass time and resolve boredom.

As to why I named my blog Fantasie-Impromptu --> b/c this my favourite Chopin piece! (although my attempts on playing the piece always turn out not so good...but like is like)

Presently, I should find someway to make my blog look better before I start my accouting homework. hehe~ I already know what I want to post for later postings....but for now this is it!

Let's post a lovely pic of West Van estate:

After spending one hour looking online at West Van estate pix yesterday (when I'm supposed to study hard)...this was the result ...lots of aww's and ahh's ...and as Kat said ..."at least looking at those fill u up w/ incentives to study even harder"! <--- I guess this is true to some extent.
