Woosh~ Career Days finally wrapped up lol~ And now I can finally wrap up one stage of my hectic life recently :) (by first of all blogging it out haha~)
So Career Days came to a finale yesterday evening, ending with one (dun rily wanna swear here but..) "hell of a dinner"! In a way, I'm glad it wrapped up :), considering this has been really the main part of the reason of my sleep depriveness for this entire past month. And now really referring bac to the past month, I only have one word: ACK! (I guess this is the reason why yesterday's dinner, though killing my liver, might actually have been a good thing for me lol~ But more on this shall come later!
Right now, I would really wanto use this chance to THANK EVERYONE who lend a hand to me in allowing me to finish my responsibilities for Career Days! These do not just include my volunteers out there, but also all of my friends (those who have helped me w/ assignments, let me copy their notes, or even just supported me in one way or another) and my family (for putting up w/ me most of these whiles). I understand not all of you may read my blog; however, still thanks to you all. You know who you are out there!
Now, to Career Days and my dinner :) As you all know, I am still somewhat amazed that all these are over. In a way, I am really happy b/c this almost feel like wrappingup one stage of my life, and actually really it is haha (as I shall talk abt my near future plans later)~ To reflect back, I really learned a lot (i.e. how to network, reinforcing communication/organization etc skills, and really much more) , though I don't really know how to explain. But most of all, I feel like I've accomplished something :D, and that just make me feel so happy!
Despite all these happiness though, I am still somewhat melancholy over the fact that Anna is going back to England :( ...I'm not really sure I'd cry on Monday...but melancholy for sure. Being friends and working w/ her (and every single person of the OC) really made me realize some deep philophical theory (one can say) abt life: that how special it is in life to have the chance to interact w/ someone so diff from me and for such a short time, and yet have something to share and remember as we all move in diff directions onto our future. To Anna: I shall always remember u (& miss u)!! *MUAH* To all of us: Thank you for the past three months of wonderful times!! (And of course, I shall remember all of u <--- since I'll be seeing u all somewhat in the near future lol~)
Now to the dinner, (To Sal & Spencer: OMG, how much did I really drink last nite?! lol~You both really got me hammered haha~) I GOT HAMMERED, though I wouldn't say badly since I only realized the fact when I got home. And plus, I was still quite conscious the entire time (at the dinner, in my conversations etc) before I hit the hay; however, I wouldn't say it was fun too, considering I spent "only" abt 15 mins "facing the toilet" (dun wanto grouse anyone out here lol~ so u can guess wut I was doing) and had to wake up every hr or so in the nite to drink water to prevent some sort of hang-over in the morning lol~ (Thank god, it worked haha).
I think Sal said I had abt 4 cans of beers (i.e we shared 1 1/2 jug, and w/ me drinking abt 40% and him 60 haha) So as usual, I drank to the point I got tipsy, and maybe yesternite was special (b/c Sal said if your body is lacking sleep and food..you cant drink much...and unfotunately having had less than 7 hours of sleep in the past two days and only a piece of apple for lunch and some prawns for dinner...I was both)! So I got home at 8ish.....spent sometimes in the washroom and hit the hay straight and basically could not physically wake up! (lol~ It's really funny b/c Jessie tried calling me sometimes in between, and for real...I heard the rings but couldnt even move my hands to pick up....I seriously remember thinking to myself at that point...should I talk to her and sound all hammered..or just leeave it....and I left it ...)
Thank goodness I did wake up at 11ish, feeling much better...and was able to call Jessie and Sho back.. Afterward, I still went to bed (b/c I'm still somewhat tired), and didnt wake up until this morning at 8ish. So that's something to make up for my sleep depriveness haha~ And this is exactly why I said maybe getting hammered was in a way good for me lol~ And plus, now I at least know how much I should be drinking before I get hammered...(so something to watch out for at WRC haha)
However, through this entire time...I would really like to thank my parents thu...as for real I told them I only had one beer (oops~ wut a lie XD)..and I'm pretty sure they'd have to be stupid to believe in that XD. However, I really would thank them though....as seeing me drunk, there was disapproval in their eyes, but I could see and feel that the disapproval was directed more toward the fact that I'm ruining my liver/body, instead of over the fact that "OMG, my daughter is drunk!" (And one more thing that surprised me thu, I can chuck down pretty much for someone like my size lol~) But yeah, after all that...I'd still have to say: I'm still not a huge fan of beer...In comparison rite now, I think whiskey tastes nicer (i.e. by whiskey ..I meant Fireball...yes I knw Sal & Spencerl..u guys just dun picture me as a Fireball girl :P), but I don't know I just enjoy how it tastes sweet in the mouth and hot down the throat :).
Now, a bit of my future plans: 1) To catch up w/ homework/readings/assignments and do excellent in school! (This is really my main focus now, and really I am excited to begin!) 2) Co-op: apply for more jobs and try to set up the CRA job :D AWESOME! 3) AIESEC: Take on more responsibilities :D 4) Look into some enterprise stuff And that's it for now lol~ Wow that is a long post...thanks all for the patience lol~
haha~ I promised this will be the last one of wasting my time on this lol~ However, this one ...romantic in another way haha~ (According to Angie: that's hot!)
lol~ let's add more dance scene :)(I actually wanted to add more tango...but this will do for now) Another of my fav music dance scenes (I'd say somewhat close to tango haha)
haha~ I finally post something lol~ however, this post will rily be abt my passion for tango :) Yes, b/c the post abt my hectic life rite now w/ school and career days will be long enough to be such a bore, I shall leave it to next week (after career days are done!)
Now though~ something abt regaining my passion for tango.. I just rewatched Moulin Rouge tonite, b/c I just had to. Last class at FPA 140 (intro into 20th century music), our prof showed us a portion of the movie (as I will soon attach using youtube), and I just felt like I have to watch this movie, this weekend lol. The story line as usual is the typical unrealistic love story, which I shall not talk abt.
However, this El Tango de Roxane rily enchants me! I love tango (thu I dunno exactly how to dance it, but it is certainly one thing on my agenda to learn ....even more so then swimming lol~) I love this hidden passion encompassed within the melody (mostly formed by the rich accompaniment of the string quaretettes and the somewhat forceful yet emotional staccatos on the piano or acoustics combined). I love the rather graceful yet sensuous footsteps of its dancers entwined w/in the rhythm of the mysterious melody.
For real, I LOVE TANGO IN GENERAL! In the past and still, tango is one type of music friends can always find in my ipod. Like now, I have three in my ipod lol~ (and as soon as I have time to find El Tango de Roxane, I shall add it to my ipod too haha~) But for now, enjoy the clip above :D~
hehe~ I should rily post about my holiday in Yellowstone Park, but that will be so long...so i'll save it for later :) (One thing thu ... Geysers were pretty, the trip w/the only scenery of dry meadows was boring, the bisons were so cute :D:D, and despite the some nagging i got from my mom+sis ..spending time w/ family was AWESOME!!) anyhow, more to come about holiday later :)
So summer's ending in two days for me rily..w/ the beginning of the hustle bustle school...and a semester of I dunno wut.....summer was a good one (w/ only itsybitsy regrets)!
Well yeah regrets being: 1) I missed fireworks 2) I missed going to the beach (but then again..does going to lake beaches count?! lol) Yeah! only 2 rily~ but then those two are more like regrets of the past school yr...along w/ the I never took a proper pic of snow nor a proper pic of sakura T_____T ..so another goal to add on to the new school yr : I SHALL ENJOY AS A I STUDY!!
Summer was a good one thu :) lots of gatherings w/ friends....lots of I at least attempted to fulfill my responsibilities....lots of wrking lots....and lots of well-balanced life between enjoyment and wrk! Like now..or more like today, I must have read 8 volumes of Manga and also just finished watching Ocean's 12 + Kill Bill 2 :D whee~ happy~...And tomorrow to come is going to that Taiwanese festival thing w/ my family....and more to come for the last 2 days: room cleaning, email sending, Career Days stuff, co-op stuff & license study :)
The Manga: The best ever (or one of the best ever). Don't know english name ..but it's about 2 music school students (one wanting to be a professional piano player and wanting to be a pro conductor), their relationships to each other and their relationships to other music school students....but those aren't the important prt... What's important is....WOW~ w/ every moment of the manga, i can totally hear the music :D....yapyap~ the manga totally draw out my passion for music once more!! (not that I've ever lost it haha~) SO PRETTY!! oh~ and it totally reminded me of reading Bel Canto (which is another novel that made melody slipping out of those paper pages hehe :D)
The Movies: Ocean's 12 :) definitely still one of my favs....beautiful guys + girls + soundtracks!
Kill Bill 2: actually I can't rily tell whether I liked it or no...I guess I appreciated the way how the film's put together. I remember my eng. prof used to say...it's such a modernistic film ...full of fragments (thu those may not have been her exact words...but it was something likee that...and she did compare it to the novel Anil's Ghost). Watching the film, it almost felt like the director put all types of styles to shoot a film into one film...(haha~ yeah it's rily hard for me to describe since i'm not a pro film critique...but wut i meant is that....in Kill Bill 2...this one film made me feel like I'm seeing a horror movie, a comedy, a tragedy, a comic and many more all at once!) But I swear the funniest moment must have been when Uma Therman crawled out of the grave, struggling thru the dirt w/ one hand....all the way to when she struggled her way to get a cup of water from a convenient store ....OMINE! Me and my sis still cant help but crack up at that XD It's just so hilarious....and such a wonderful twist on horror films by making it so funny...
Anyhow now...I swear it would be smart of me to turn off this comp now and go to sleep before my mom comes upstairs and get mad....but of course..I'm still in the stage of resisting the fact I have to go back to school....and constantly convincing myself I should fool around more (by staying up late?!) before I actually do go back to school.... O well..considering that I am physically tired....I guess I rily should crash lol~
