Sticky Situation
Aw man, if it weren't for my sudden urge to take out my violin & play again, I wouldn't have noticed that my precious block of resin is gone...ToT I have no idea where it could possibly be, somehow it just disappeared, while the rest of my gear (cleaning cloth, spare strings, pitch pipe) is still intact. Sad...I've grown to really appreciate that resin too (now that I think about it, it had German written on it, so it was probably from Austria or something, damn). Tsk, now I have to use this cheapassed piece that came with my cheapassed old violin.
Ah well, back to playing.
EDIT: Ouch...I seemed to have forgotten how much it hurts to play...xD

I'm done, DONE with course enrolment!! Actually I finished an hour ago, just that I'm still recovering from the joy, so it took me a while to type this up...=D I can't believe how easy it was this year, not to mention fun. I really had a great time with you BJ, it's amazing how we always spend the tough times together...=) I owe you one man!!

Sleepless In Toronto
It just occurred to me that starting September, I'll be forced to get rid of my napping habits. Ever since gr. 11, I've grown to a schedule of school, nap, dinner, (homework, study,) sleep (note the brackets, lol). I tried really hard to abstain from napping when university first started, thinking that it's a waste of time & that I should be using my time more wisely. Unfortunately, after the long & tedious TTC rides, I simply couldn't find enough energy to do any work if I didn't take a nap. So after a week of desperate attempts, I resumed back to my sleeping routine, & now I'm more addicted to it than ever (considering that I only have 2 hours of school per day, I get home early & still have LOTS of time to study even if I nap). Gee, my afternoon classes next year are definitely something to look forward to...<snores>

Into The Stars
So lately, I've been listening to OLIVIA excessively. I've always been a fan of her music, though not of all her works, 'cause really, some of her songs are just WAY too rockish for me (sorry, ain't much of a Rock fan, I'm sure you would've known already if you took a look at my playlist once in a while). I stopped listening to her for a year or two, for no apparent reason. Few days ago though I found her limited mini-album "Internal Bleeding Strawberry" available online, so I gave it a try. Her music struck me again; somehow, I've grown to like even the songs that I was never fond of (just a note, this album is basically her old songs resung in English...& yes, she's a native speaker, therefore her pronunciation far surpasses that of the general Japanese populace). And the songs that I once loved?? Love them even more now. It's really a pity that talented artists like her don't get the attention they deserve (another case in point: Fayray). On the other hand, a pretty face like Ayu can easily climb to the top & stay there for a good ol' 5 years (& counting). That is not to say Ayu's not talented, she is very much so, & my love for her is incomparable to my passion for any other artist. It's just interesting because OLIVIA is also a very gorgeous lady. Money & luck, I guess.
P.S. My writing bug's been biting me lately, & I just can't stop writing; ideas just flow out of my mind like hungry mice released into a field of cheese. The power of OLIVIA's music?? =) (If only I can do the same for my German composition...ahhh school again!!)

All Clear?
The much-dreaded weekend is here again - the one right before my course enrolment. As I've mentioned before, this is the part I hate the most about being a U of T student; it's still true, & I'm sure it'll always be true. =P Well at least this time I'm having a head start, thanks to the extra credit I'm getting from summer school, I'm given an advantage over other less-fortunate students. Not to mention my courses will be much more specialized this year, so getting in won't be as much of a pain, or at least I hope so. And to make things even better, I'll be applying alongside a great friend of mine on Monday, so there will be someone to bitch at in case the system succeeds in pissing me off again. Wish me luck.
On a totally unrelated manner, now that we're moving & planning to sell the house, my dad has finally called a plumber to fix our washroom sink that's been going kaputt since my high school days (you gotta be grateful for a mom who'd actually drop toothbrushes, eyeliners, & things of sort into the pipe). Why couldn't we have done this earlier so at least we can enjoy a functional sink, just for our own well-being??
EDIT: Mission failed. Sink is still stuck, damnit. And I just realized that I've posted 3 entries in a row about school. Great, "Pathetic" is now my middle name.

Pulling A Hamlet¹
Okay, more "life-threatening" obstacles coming my way. xP I'm seriously thinking about minoring in German now, though I'm not sure if it's such a good idea. Ya ya, I'm doing well now, but that's just 'cause things are so easy. And according to my prof, from 200 on, it really depends on who's teaching, so what if I get some fucked up facker who's just out there to torture us all?? Another problem would be, what if GER300 & 400 (the two courses I'm planning to take to finish my minor) don't fit with my schedule?? I mean, after all, my main goal is to become a molecular geneticist, not some skinny Chinese kid who can't do anything but speak semi-fluent German. =P The worst part is that I have to decide NOW, I need to apply for the minor in 2nd year (what a stupid system). What to do?? O_o (What's even dumber is that I'll have 2 credits by the end of next year, just 2 more gives me a minor. So why not, right??)

Accusative
Come to think of it, my German class must hate me. I always hog the questions & answer all of them, never leaving a second for others to think or even attempt to respond. Well people, you know what?? The only reason I'm answering everything is because nobody else does!! And if a question doesn't get its appropriate response, the class doesn't move ahead, & we'll just be stuck at the same place for minutes to come. Honestly, I hardly participated in the beginning of the course, because people actually answered back then (not to mention there were more students too), so I didn't feel the need to help move the class along. But now, since nobody, & I mean NOBODY, moves even the slightest bit when our prof asks if we understand, I have to nod like mad just to provide some feedback!! So, bring on the animosity. I don't care as long as I can get out of class as soon as possible. =P
EDIT: Final exam on August 11, 14:00-16:00, at UC West Hall. Sorry, I just had to put this somewhere.

Angelic Beat (...Well, Almost)
(Never thought I'd have a whole entry dedicated to BoA, but here it is.)
Finally saw the full "VALENTI" concert...got a preview of it a month ago, was pretty impressed by it, planned to get the DVD. But yesterday morning I happened to find it available for download on Jpopscene, so I thought, might as well see the whole thing before really getting the tangible disc (since I'm not truly a BoA fan, a penny saved from not buying her stuff is a penny earned =P). Overall, it's a pretty good concert; if you love her songs, you'll love it. If you love her, it won't disappoint you either, even though her wardrobe wasn't anything special, especially that pink outfit she wore while singing "NO.1" & "VALENTI", that was just...ick. O_o Anyway, as great as I think the concert was, I have decided to NOT buy the DVD for one reason...
She did not, I repeat, did NOT, sing all of the songs live!! That's right, she lip-synched through some of them!! xP How disappointing it was for me when I heard a few songs mouthed but not sung!! Her concert director did a really bad job at arranging the song order too, I mean, first she sang "LISTEN TO MY HEART" live (which was very obvious, 'cause it was way under CD-quality, & you can hear her struggling for breath), THEN came "BESIDE YOU", which all of a sudden, sounded "perfect" with no clear gasping, all the while she was dancing her butt off!! Come on, you gotta be pretty stupid to think that was live singing...=P After that, I spent more time guessing whether she was singing live or not, rather than concentrating on her performance...xD I gotta give her some credit though, for the mid-tempo/slow songs, she did quite an impressive job (& yes, they were live), & I guess the reason why she had to mouth the fast songs was because she has yet to master the art that Amuro did long time ago - dancing & singing at the very same time, while still sounding (next to) flawless. =)
Other than that, the concert was very enjoyable, & it gave me something fun to do on a boring Sunday afternoon. The songs were okay, personally I think she could've replaced "Nobody but you" & sang "Don't start now" instead, & it's just a P-I-T-Y that she didn't sing "Nothing's gonna change", my favourite ballad of hers. Ah well, can't ask for much, it's a free ticket. =P
Recommended performances: "Kimochi wa tsutawaru", "Kiseki" (I'm still wondering if this was live), "flower" (hilarious intro though), "JEWEL SONG", "NO.1", "VALENTI", "ID;Peace B", "Every Heart"
P.S. Some interesting things that I noticed about the concert...
01. While singing "Kimochi wa tsutawaru", the big screen behind her showed the landscape of Hong Kong. =) Similarly, Toronto's (!!) subway was shown during "Sekai no katasumi de"
02. Her favourite pose/dance move: sticking up her index finger
03. Last but not least...BoA, very unfortunately, still has no waist...

Running, But Not Moving
Due to my failure to take good care of myself during my mid-high school years, I've been having skin allergies ever since. It was so bad during gr. 11, I would scratch myself to bleed every single night. I distinctly remember the smell of blood, & the fact that I had to wrap a towel tightly around my arm so that 1. it wouldn't be as easily available for me to scratch, & 2. it would absorb the blood if any was to come out (kinda graphic huh??). One can only imagine what the towel looked like every morning after I woke up. I have no idea how I lived like that in those few months. I was more than giving up on life - I was giving up on myself.
So anyway, getting to the point...=P My skin's been more or less healed, but you can still see dark spots on my arms once in a while - that's where the action once was. Nowadays, as soon as the weather changes, whether it's getting more humid or getting drier, Itchy & Scratchy will pay a visit (I'm doing it as I'm typing up this blog, eck). After a while I'd know to stop, & I'd use the cream that my doctor prescribed me years back, & it'll feel better for a week or two. Then as the healing process furthers, I'd start the cycle all over again. Scratch, itchy, more scratch, more itchy, bad skin, cream, heal, scratch...you get the point.
Hey, that's just like my love life. =P Never learn, never get anywhere.

I seem to have forgotten that it's 4 months, not 4 weeks, not 4 days, not 4 hours. Anything could've happened, you could've died, I could've won the lottery, or both of us could just be ourselves. I'm having fun, & I suppose you are too; then why am I bitter??

There You'll Be
I had a very...different dream last night. I dreamt that I was getting married - to someone who's been on my mind for the past few months. Now this I really didn't expect 'cause first of all, I've never planned to get married. Secondly, my mom flipped out when she found out who it was, & therefore the ceremony had to be stopped midway. =P And the most surprising part, above all, is that I'm actually saddened by this dream. I seriously don't know what to think of it...=\

Bored AS HELL, so I took a picture of the things that I never leave the house without. I sure take a lot of weird pics with my digi cam, don't I??

1. House keys...used to have a keychain, but since it broke in gr. 10, never bothered to get a new one
2. Car key...yup, proud owner of a black Acura
3. Trifold wallet I got as a birthday present
4. Watch that my mom bought me as a gift for getting into university =)
5. My cheap-assed cellphone/mp3 player that I hardly use anymore
6. I can see just fine w/o my glasses, but I look better w/ them on, so =P
7. My platinum-plated ring...any special meaning to it?? Yes. Am I gonna share?? No. =P Place of residence: my right-hand ring finger...

Okay, this is getting crazy - after my psych letters, bio certificate, & Dean's list, I just received a letter of recognition from U of T's chemistry department. They say that my 90%+ mark for my physical chem course (I probably failed my orgo one, lol) is "not all that common". xP
To top things off, I finally got my "&" single. Isn't life beautiful??
EDIT: Apparently, things can be even better. I'm now downloading "HANABI~episode II~"'s PV...w00t!!

Still A Girl?
Not that it's any of my business, but it's about time, Britney. Knew it all along, I can't believe that there were people who still believed her claims of virginity. Come on, take one look at her moves in "I'm A Slave 4 U", & you can pretty much tell when AND where she did it (okay maybe that'd take a lil bit more effort...lol). Next thing you know, she'll come clean about her plastic surgery (or surgeries, who knows...=P). BOO-HOO.

For some reason, nobody seems to like Ayu's new song "Greatful days" (excuse the spelling) as much as I do. I absolutely love it, probably my favourite from the single now...xD It's just so happy...& Ayu really looks like she's having fun in the PV...^^;
I had a stupid encounter with my German workbook today. I was working with ordinal numbers, & as soon as I came across the word "neunzehnhundertfünfundsiebzig", I freaked, literally. I dropped my pencil & gasped "MY GOD!!". xD
I just got an e-mail from my prof & I realized that, even though she was typing in English, she was clearly thinking in German. She said "I'm very glad to hear, that you understand...". What's with the comma before the dependent clause?? =P

Lucky me, my ROSI start time this year is 08:00...=) Don't have to wake up as early as I planned to...what I think I'd do is to go downtown & use the school computers that day, since they're much faster. Hopefully I'll get all the slots I want this year (unlike my excruciating & traumatizing experience of 2002...x_x)...
EDIT: Crap, I just found out that none of the school libraries open before 08:30...=P I guess I'll still have to miss my class that day after all.

It was originally my plan for last summer, the summer of which I did absolutely nothing. =P The only setback (apart from my laziness) was that I didn't wanna be in a class full of either 1. women, or 2. OLD women (lol). It's still kinda awkward nowadays for men to take cooking seriously, needless to say guys (yes I'm still young). We'll see what happens...my break in August does seem like a good time for me to sharpen up my cooking skills though.

A Belated Birthday Present
I've officially lost my voice. After a whole day of singing along to Sammi's best album, my throat now sores like muscles immersed in lactic acid. The sad thing is, I still wanna listen to the CDs, & I still want to keep singing. It's time for a K-session, I see. =P
Yaw, Vancouver gets the Olympics, as expected. A year ago I made a pact with my friends, saying that I'll go & watch the games with them in 8 years. I even said that if I'm rich by then, I'll treat them all. We'll see how that one turns out. xD

Deja Vu
It's reading week all over again - having homemade Caesar salad @ 2 in the morning, all the while watching season 3 of Friends on DVD. Except that this time, I'm officially on break, I'm one step closer to becoming a molecular geneticist, & I can say "What a delicious salad!!" in German. xD Amazing what two & a half months can do.
