first week of school

2008-01-23T13:11:00.000-08:00

This week has been amazing for me. This is a totally different course compare to EApP2. there is a lot left for me to learn and study. I really feel like I should stay here for the sake of achieving in goals of being able to use better English. especially for me, i am aiming to become a psychologist in the future. I am sure about the fact at english would definitly be my fast tract to succeed. There is a lot more in life than just having good English, but good English would absolutely become a useful tool for me to enjoy my life. i don't really care about how are other people are gonna think about it. I have my own way to do my stuff and I am going to do it nice. All i need to do now is do my best to be activie and possitive in my learnings. i could really care less about other things. It is true that due days are always appear closer than it looks. I need to really start getting things done. It will be amazing for me to survive all the way through this course without any suffering and painful experiences. I am just working on them. Anyway, it is time to wrap it up. CHEERS!!!~~

A brand new page~

2008-01-21T14:18:00.001-08:00

A brand new page of my life has begun. what can be more excited than going to Scott and Murray's class? Everyone!! YEAAA!!!.... NO??.. alright, anyway.. I am happy to be here. There is still a lot for me to learn. I still need to work my butt off to get the good grades. well, I mean honestly, It's not always about the grades. I really see it as an opportunity to bring my English up to another level. After i get into my degree, I cannot see myself having a chance to do it again like this. So if i can do it now, why not? It is always good to have all kinds of different improvements going into my life!! I hope i am going to have a good time in this semester with all of you guys! Good LUCK Everyone!

FARE WELL~

2007-12-06T13:21:00.001-08:00

Guess what? This blog is going to be my Last blog, hahahahahahaaaa, and I repeat the last blog!! Last blog!! After this I am done! I have been with my blog for a whole semester already. Time shoots by, and it finally goes into the end. I mean I don’t hate doing blog and everything, but its just like sometimes I don’t have time to do it. It can really stress me up. It is absolutely wonderful to have a blog so that we can share and discuss about things that we don’t normally talk about. It’s all done now. I am happy. I can’t really think of anything special to fare well to my blog. Well, honestly I might be just lazy… Ha, anyway, who cares right? A “good-bye” that is said with a whole heart with love in it, is better than any expensive good-bye-gifts. I know, it’s kind of random but I would love to say GOOD-BYE to my fellow, my friend, and most importantly my blog, which will be counting for grades in my report card. THANK YOU!! And good Bye my friend~~

A Week I Spent in Bed

2007-12-06T13:00:00.000-08:00

For the fact that my knee has been injured from my extreme snowboarding, I spend a week in bed. It was actually not too bad at all, but just a little boring sometimes. It was funny about now about my situation that it feels like the house is almost too big for me, since I have to hobble around with my stupid little cane slowly. My family thought I looked like Dr House, when I was struggling to walk with my cane. Well, I am glad that they have been having fun since my knee was not working. Nothing could have ever been better than this. I know they were just joking, since i know they all love me. My friends and my family are really concern about how dangerous snowboarding could be and how bad we could suffer from many other possible accidents. Come on! Give me A break!! It is not like I don't know about it, but I mean everything takes risks and what's not? What can be better than riding on my snowboard??As long as I am happy and I am willing to take the responsibility, i have nothing to worry about. I am good to go. Absolutely!!

A Warm X'mas in Hong Kong

2007-12-06T12:40:00.000-08:00

Its such a relieve for me since today is the last day of class, no more EAPP II for my life!!
Well, not in the case that if I failed all of my final exams. Sure i know this is not going to happen. Why?
Because it can't be happened, and I won't let it happens. For the sake that I go to university for my psychology degree, this is already enough for me and for all of you guys. Lets go, Lets go, gonna go, gonna go! Lets talk about some fun stuff instead always keeping the topic in out EAPP course. I heard that a lot of you are going somewhere else during our X’mas break. That’s nice, that’s great. I am not going to be jealous about all of your vacations. Guess what, cause I am going to Hong Kong for this X’mas. Yea!!! a warm X’mas!!! Its only 10 degree in Hong Kong right now, sooner or later, there will be no winters in Hong Kong anymore. I don’t really understand how can they keep putting on gloves, scarf and big coats in Hong Kong. They are all non-sense!!!

Hot and sexy ads~

2007-12-05T22:46:00.001-08:00

In the ages and days of ours, commercial are crazy. Yes, they are! There is absolutely no doubt about it. People use all the different ways to catch your attentions. There is no way that we can escape from it. They sell cigarettes and make them as an icon of knowing how to enjoy life; they sell beer and tell everyone that their beer is the best out of the others; the sell fragrance and put so-called attitude on a scent. There is so much more than that, I can’t really list them all down in here. Odd enough all of them have included images of hot girls or they can always relate their product to be sexual or attract girls or guys. But what I really want to say is they have even invaded my beloved snowboard world now!! They put pictures of hot girls all around any snowboarding products, even for guys wear!! Hot & Sexy model with their tiny lingerie posting for guys wears!! I was like “what the heck is going on right now??” well but also have to admit that I do love to look at these hot models. How about you guys? What do you guys think about now-a-day’s commercials?

My idol!! DALI!!

2007-12-05T22:27:00.001-08:00

Another Blog!! I think I should really share one of my idols that have been making different influences to me, well both positive ones and negative ones too, to all of you guys. Salvador Dali (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), a Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia (Spain). Dali was a natural born skilled artist. Well brushed, realistic and smooth are three of the signature characteristics for his paintings. He was best known for the extraordinary and breathtaking images in his surrealist work. The Persistence of Memory, the melting clock is still a well-known painting as one of the icons for surrealism, is painted by Dali. Although he is established and rich, Dali was bonded with a habit of doing unusual things to draw attention to him. HE EVEN LET HIS WIFE TO HAVE SEXUAL REALATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER MAN. Crazy, huh? That’s why his life was also considered as a surrealist masterpiece. Salvador Dali is just so hype. I wish I could be someone like him, but without sharing my wife to other men!!! But other than that, how can life be better to have lots and lots of money with a life style that has lots and lots of fun?

New Blog site?>?

2007-12-05T22:09:00.001-08:00

It’s time to write my blog again. I just found out that I gave Regina a wrong site for my blog. Therefore no one has ever come to view my blog, just because of this one stupid mistake, which I have made. HOW STUPID!!! Okay, who cares anyway, now I got everything fixed and everything is going to be fine. No worries at all! I still can’t believe that we have only one week left for this course. I can’t even tell how fast it goes. From the beginning, as a totally new student in the University, everything was new to us, everyday was filled with surprises and now things are getting a little more familiar then it used to be!! It almost feels like home for me now. I hate high school, it spent almost like 7 years of my life, and I don’t always get to pick my favorite subjects, It was absolutely boring. It is good that I will never be going back to high school!! And I get so much more holidays in University. I love UNIVERSITY!! I can totally tell that I am going to have so much fun in here!! I just can’t wait to get into my degree program now!!

I watched Saw IV!! It was so good! I would even say this is the best one out of the other four of them. The first two are just extremely bloody cruel, but without any stories. The third one was as well cruel but there was a strong story behind to support the whole movie. I remember I enjoyed it so much. BUT there is nothing you can compare the Saw IV with the Saw III. It tells you all about, where did Jigsaw pick up all of his wickedness. And of course, Saw IV is still full of the saw series’ signature cruel violent scenes. It gives me a feeling of watching a psychological documentary rather than just a movie. It gives us an insight look of what could possibly turn a typical man into a crazy bloody wicked sicko. I love this movie I don’t think it would disappoint any one of you, either. It is definitely not a bad idea at all to go to the cinema and check this movie out.

I just got my paycheck back! Over spending on clothing and snowboarding… what am I going to do about it?? I have absolutely no ideas. I need to stop spending and start saving now. I need to start saving up now. I am really interested on different kinds of investments. I mean I really hate the feeling of spending all of what I earned at once. I need to make my money worth what it is supposed to be. I have currently been checking on the TD bank ones. Some of them have really high interest; however, it also comes with a higher risk than others. I am thinking about doing some kind of investment combination, which should be able to bring me back the best repay. I am going to do more research on it before I am going to do anything about it.

2007-11-02T00:04:00.001-07:00

I just got my new snowboard! It is a brand new 149cm Forum Recon, a super nice directional board with a large 21 inches stance, soft to medium flex, cool black and white contour abstract park pattern, and a super strong base!! I got a sick binding to match with it, a high-end Flow binding, with a strong base, every settings are adjustable, easy-fitting strapping system; furthermore, it was designed by the BMW designing team!! Honestly, what can I ask for more than that? NO, NO, No… Oh God… I love my board!! I am just waiting for the snow; everyone is waiting for the snow. I just couldn’t wait any longer, no more. Nothing could possibly replace the feeling of riding full speed with your snowboard on a mountain, spraying huge powder after turns and turns, drops in the powder pillow… I need to stop right here now. I can’t bare daydream snowboarding anymore, in need to go to the mountain!!! TOO bad my girl friend hates snowboarding, oh ... According to her, she was just being jealous on the fact that I pay more attention to my snowboard, instead of her. Well, I guess I could care less about it, since there is no way that you could ever compare two things that are totally unrelated. Girls are crazy, there is no logic, when they are getting emotional, and they are absolutely not understandable.

2007-11-02T00:00:00.000-07:00

Snowboarding!! Snowboarding!! ALL HAIL TO THE GREAT SNOWBOARDING GOD!! Where the hell is our snow? It is already winter now, but where is our snow? We have already had snow last year, at this time. This is not good, not good at all. The winter is keep on delaying every year. This is got to be something to do with the stupid global warming thing. I DO NOT like this idea at all. I could not even imagine there might not even be a winter in Calgary. I could not even imagine about life without riding my snowboard. It feels like that I will have to move up north, so that it will still be snow for me in the winters. My friends and I have already been getting excited to go up to the mountains for the good powder snow, well… least expected to be in C.O.P. Well people are saying stupid about C.O.P. well I mean C.O.P is small, but it is definitely a good training place in the urban zone; more over, they have an awesome terrain park and a huge half pipe. We can even go snowboarding after school!! SO STOP COMPLAINING, when people in other places have to come over once a year just for a ride or two!!

2007-11-01T14:43:00.001-07:00

I started working!! I just got a new job at the Coffee Company in the McEwen Hall. I am actually having a lot of fun in my job. It is excited for me to get to talk to everyone. I mean I love talking to people. That’s why I picked psychology to be my major in my bachelor degree. I hate jobs that are boring, repeating over and over again. I definitely love variety. I love fresh, brand new, innovative stuff. Oh well, At least I am happy with my life right now. The EAPP course is easy; hence, I have time for a good job, which means there is more money for me to spend on my snowboard!!!! I am just waiting for the snow now. Therefore, now it is the time for me to work my ass off and start saving up for the winter. I always ask GOD about “WHY IS EVERYTHING ABOUT SNOWBOARD ARE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!!” The world would definitely be better when we could pay less on our snowboarding fees. Oh well, I still love snowboarding, anyway. I am so willing to pay for it, since I have became snowboard’s slave for days already. I can do nothing about it, absolutely nothing. BUT, -- this is a big but, I am HAPPY!!

2007-11-01T14:11:00.000-07:00

Well, well, well… How many weeks have I been spending in EAPP … It was so long, almost too frigging long if you will. I don’t mean no disrespect to anyone, I am just getting bored in what I am doing right now. I was once got everything planned out to get into the University and go for what I wanted to do, but it turned out to be a total different story. I mean I am still learning things in here, but what I am saying is there are always things that are here for me to learn. Does it worth spending a year in here just for improving my English? I used to think mastering a language is all about how much time you actually spend on it. I have only been in Canada for two years; however, I even got 76 for my English 30. What I’ve got is already a lot higher than all these native English speakers. My Asian friends got like 50 – 60s on their English diploma, but only because they have been in Canada for more than 3 years, they got straight into their degrees. This is just wrong. It is not fair. They should be happy about my achievement rather than telling me I am one year short to fulfill their requirements. I am not really happy about this whole EAPP thing.
