10/31: Happy Halloween!

I brought my lab candy yayy. They all thought I brought it from America, but when I said I got it from Carrefour they all looked a little less excited. But they still thought it was cool so I was happy. Studied outside of that then met with Adeline Chris and Johnny to prep our costumes. I think they all turned out well. i was a homeless bum! the party was fun too, lotsa fooood!

10/30: 2nd Stressful Day

I shouldn't even commemorate this day with a post. Just basically studied all day and stressed about Kinetics. Went to class which was hella boring, only interesting part was that my classroom was around the area of the explosion, where you could still smell the smoke and they were cleaning up. you could see shattered glass and heavy smoke residue on the ceiling. but mostly it meant that i climbed up 4 flights of stairs to find out class was moved to the first floor. then continued studying. and then later went to eat some cheesecake with adeline and joe. at least tomorrow is halloween!

10/29: 1st Stressful Day

ah I tried to get so much work done today, and it didn't work out so well! i got maybe 1/3 of my hw problems done. i still havea quiz on thursday and i haven't looked at one of the chps. And i wanted to get a lot of studying done before leaving for kenting. sigh! its no use...someone even told me i was stupid today to put so much effort into studying for this class because everyone just copies hw problems...studying doesn't help. blah.

then ran into the french people and we went to artist and i got a waffle! (called Muffin...sui or shui bing) it was good. artist always makes me feel at home. i showed them some halloween pictures and stuff then we came back. anyway, possible drama is ensuing...

oh, and while at artist, the fire alarm went off and you could smell smoke from building 2 (chemE building) pretty cooool. everyone was screaming for no school tomorrow

and then i sliced my finger with my razor...yay for 3 bladed razors...

10/28: Batting Cage!

Today was super 6 hours of class...wooo....it was pretty awful, i can't lie about that. he also added 17 problems to the hw and a quiz on thursday, wtf!!! And my ear was hurting a lot, so i couldn't lie down on my right side. but after Tao wanted to go make copies of the solns manual so i went with. The copy store was closed so I ended up getting to see his apt because he had a printer. So i got to watch 10min of TV!! woooo, it was harry potter 1 :) then i went with him to the batting cages, cuz he's really good at batting and I want to get better. It was fun! but really tiring...he had me try to 120km and 130kmph ones! craaaaazy, i didn't hit any, but he said i am swinging well...just not hitting the right place. but i think i will be really sore tomorrow. then went to mcdonald's lol. I got a quesadilla/burrito from McCafe and a corn soup and OJ, mmmm. we had a good conversation! i learned some gossip about the lab, which cleared up some thoughts i had :P, then saw Jacob and Rafael too. then went back and went to the library to try to do my loads of hw. but anyways, still a good day :)

10/27: Happy Birthday Cyril!

Today I tried to do my homework for kinetics and got about as far as i could go, then got the solns manual. I went to meet Adeline to go see December Boys (with harry potter in it!) and we took the bus and all and when we got there, found out that it wasn't playing for some reason! Not cool! so we went to Sogo instead. I bought a pair of earrings then we went back and i got dinner on the way and we ate by the pond. Then we went to Jerome's room for Cyril's bday party! I got him a jar of Nutella and a birthday hat! Johnny tried to teach me the crypt walk and i think i almost got it. Then later the foam tiles on the floor gave way under me and i fell hard...my head hit a chair (on my ear of all places) and my hand has a bump and my arms has some scrapes...crazy! apparently it was cuz a bag of ice on the floor had melted. not cool! my ear is still a bit swollen :(

10/26: Funktion

Today was just me being really out of it because of going to search last night. I met up with lab for lunch then tried to do homework but just kept falling asleep, so i went back and slept until we were supposed to go running. Turned out Paul wore sandals to school today, very convenient, so Jack and Paul just ran a lap and then Stephen ran 5 laps with me. Then met up with Spike, Johnny, Chris, Adeline and Emily to go to Funktion to get cheeseburgers. Only to find out they didn't sell cheeseburgers anymore so we went next door to a restaurant called Design Fever that was really awesome! It was Japanese style where we sat so you take off your shoes and sit on pillows so it was so homey! We got a meal for 4 people to share and it was soup, salad, appetizer, pizza, and dessert. all were really good! then we just sat and talked until 11pm (when Design Fever closes, and Funktion starts buy 1 get 1 free drinks with Spike's card) when we went back to Funktion. I got a Peach Sour and it was really good. It was funny because when we got our drinks, spike wasn't there, and the waitress was saying the drink name in chinese so we all look at each other confused then turn to Emily and she's like lying on her side and looking like she was clawing at air, and it was soo hilarious I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes because it looked like she was in her own world. She said later that she was trying to open the window, so it made more sense. So fun night, but we agreed to only stay an hr and so we left at 12. Then walking to spike's car, me and Adeline recognized the area as the night market we went to on the bus which was cool, slowly understanding the area...

10/23-10/25: Quick Week

Wow that was a fast weekday...I don't really remember what happened so I'm going to lump it all together...

Tuesday: I went running at night after talking to Christine and her friends and it was a really great run, ran about 10 laps without much thought. I had to take a walking lap in the middle to catch my breath so i ran slower after. But now Adeline and the guys in my lab want to run too, so yay i have partners.

Wednesday: In the morning got breakfast with Stephen and Paul. Later I went to Carrefour with Chris and Johnny because they were getting a mini fridge. It was good because I got halloween candy for my lab. We were supposed to go karaoke but then Guo Long had to do something so we canceled. Instead I watched a talent show because the japanese girls were in it. Before that I went to spanish lesson with Spike and Scott but we had no Spanish teacher so we just did Chinese for a little. After we went to get Curry Chicken but they didn't have it again but instead she gave us really good potato wedges for free!

Thursday: So busy! Class sucked as normal except i also found out i have like 8 chapters to read for my Kinetics midterm. then had a lunch with the professor and lab. It was to a buffet place in Chungli that was really good so I think i'll take juan there when he comes. It was just walking like 1.5 blocks from the train station. then i went to get my hair done with christine, but i was late. and it was cool cuz the guy ended up doing my make up too because christine wasn't sure how to do me. then rushed back and it was cute cuz Johnny got me flowers! All the girls got flowers but johnny got me the most! Anyway the dance itself sucked...there was some weird show then the dance team performed, then a magician performed. Then they kind of had a dance lesson...and then they only played slow dance music. Me and emily went to request faster music and she said we could wait til the end (which would apparently only be 10min, so it was a real short dance) and when they played faster it was still the old music, just faster. then played Hound Dog then it was over! So everyone went to search after...it was good again just I was tired.
