Short Day - Tuesday December 28, 2010

Today was a relatively short day. I went to a friends house to fool around. In the end, I became her slave and helped her family move their broken bed. They were getting a replacement and I became another chore boy. However I was rewarded with some good "chao fan". Then we watched some tv and it was just horrible. I could not believe I couple choose that kind of horror movie. I was shivering in fear the whole time and I'm sure I will be having nightmares soon after.

After that, I went to Bestbuy to buy something which was out of stock and I was forced to order it online. First time ordering something online and it was a success. Now to wait until my item gets shipped here. YAY! I saved $80 too.

Gold CSP - Monday December 27, 2010

Today was the day we did our CSP, a community service project for our Gold Requirement in Vision Youth. We had made holiday hampers before hand to hand out to the homeless because it was the christmas holidays and we wanted to give a helping hand. We set off with high hopes and were still packing away as we took the subway to St. Patricks. It was a long ride and many of us were playing on their smartphones/iphones. Unfortunately I don't have any of those so I went to sleep as the train went chugging away.

And finally, we made it to the subway station to begin out hunt for people. At first we met a few of them and handed them our hampers out happily as there were people sitting on a warm furnace. However as we walked on and on, we found out that many of the people were not there because the weather was too cold. We, ourselves were cold as well, my hands were numb, my feet were freezing, as if they were getting cut off and my face was just dying. However we kept walking on and on until forever. Finally we made it to a park but we didn't find the place we wanted and so we went for a pit stop at second cup. My hands were just above to freeze by then and so I could not stop myself from buying a large coffee with lotsa sugar and milk. That was like the best feeling that I ever had and I could never forget the warm liquid flowing down my throat. I enjoyed ever mouthful of coffee until it was empty.

Then it was time to go on our journey to a shelter with renewed spirits. It was not long before we found it, however we still got lost a couple of times before finding that place. Inside it was not as bad as I thought it was. It was clean and very very nice with christmas trees, computers, Tvs, etc. I could even smell some good homemade cooking from the nearby kitchen. In the end, we handed out all our hampers and they were delighted to receive them with the addition of muffins(received from our second cup manager) and some ttc tokens.

After that, we went shopping. I was never much of a fan so I just returned home early.

What a long day with lots of walking. I need rest.

Boxing Day Sale - Sunday December 26, 2010

Before today, I believe on Saturday, I finally went to go to a driving centre to write my written test. The night before writing this test, I studied like nuts because my parents friend's daughter had barely passed the test apparently. So with that, my parents got scared as well and decided to study so many online practice test with the addition of reading this chinese character filled book about driving. Before the test, I was completely filled with facts of the driving test and I was totally ready for what would come. At the driving centre, we had to wait around 20 minutes before being able to write it and finally as the test sheet was handed out, I had grasped my pen and was ready to start scribbling. The test had only 40 questions, 20 road questions and 20 signs. In either of these categories, if I failed to get 16 questions or more I would have failed. Thankfully, I had gottan 18 questions for road and perfect on signs. I was proud somewhat but still, I got my temporary G1 License. Now I am finally licensed to drive a car BUT with an experienced driver beside me.

Today was finally boxing day sale, the day after christmas which I had wasted the day staying at home doing next to nothing. However thats the past and today I decided to get my parents out of this house and go shopping for clothes. Everything I saw was like 50% off sale but we went into a store with 70% off. So clothes which went from $20 was now $8. So I went crazy buying them and in the end, my parents had to pay around $100 worth of clothes and I was happily carrying over 5 bags of clothes home. But before this shopping, my parents could not find the clothes store in the mall called Promenade and we walked around for quite awhile. During the whole time, I was complaining how this was such a waste of time and how tired my legs were.

After this whole thing, my legs were totally dead and I told myself I would never ever shop again.

Dizzy - Thursday, December 23, 2010

Woke up to a good morning. Pretty early I must say, around 11 ish. Usually I just slept until 1 and wake up and work. Today I was gonna have some fun. But first I had to go to loblaws to buy pop. Usually, pop can come in cans or bottles but the cheaper one of the two would be the favorable choice. Today a 2L bottle of pop was only 99 cents, boy... what a deal. I could only hold 4 bottles and so I bought that. Its hard to carry it too with a bike on a snowy weather.

However I finally made it to my friend's house although I had passed it a few times before I finally found it. I had biked passed it, biked back and finally found it. It felt like such a waste of time but still, I finally made it. Outside, her parents were smoking and I was surprised but I went inside and it was so spacious. We ate lunch which was homemade pasta and ham. Good'ol western food warmed my tummy and I was filled. We continued to watch a movie and made a gingerbread house. Usually the gingerbread house has 4 sides and the roof to decorate. I decorated 2 sides and she did the rest. I believe my sides were well decorated while hers wasn't and we argued over that.

Then I found some beer cans in her refrigerator and drank 2 cans. Her friends came and we started playing video games on playstation 2 and played card games like mafia. Then we played truth or dare and it was FUN. I just picked dares to do because I refused to do tell any of my secrets. Dares included putting wasabi on my eyelids and it stinged like crazy, throwing me the snow, piggybacking a guy, hugging a guy for 5 seconds, kissing for 3 seconds with a plastic bag in between, etc. It was a fun night and when I returned home it was terribly dark.

When I was home, I felt so dizzy. I was guessing it was from the beer. Am I really that soft not being able to take only 2 cans of 0.5% beer cans? THIS IS JUST PHAIL. So I decided to go sleep.

In the middle of the night, I was writhing like crazy because my shoulders felt really really sore. No matter what I do, my shoulders were burning and I had a minor stomachache too. It was not a good night for me but I finally got some sleep. Thank god.

Teeth Removal - Monday December 20, 2010

Today finally came, the most dreaded day of my holiday. I have to go to the dentist to get my teeth removed both my wisdom tooth and teeth for braces. Recounting from those painful memories, I had already lost 3 of my wisdom teeth and after today, all 4 of them will be gone forever. I will never have to worry about it ever again. So basically, my dentist decided to take out 3 teeth on the same side so basically, now I have 3 wounds and 3 holes. Yay! Before taking it out, he gave me 8 whole needles to remove my feelings. As each needle poked into my jaw, the pain subsided because I was getting more and more numb. Then it became the big hard stick that the dentist shoved in my mouth. He stuck it under my wisdom tooth and started pushing it out and I could hear cracking sound. I was so scared because blood was coming out and it was a big pool. It felt like my life depended on this guyz actions and I was scared. I started shaking without notice and I was just scared. He complained to me how my tooth was too stable and how it took him countless tries to dig it out. Is that something to be proud of? I don't really know yet it was finally over. Half my face was drooping for another 3-4 hours and I was back to biting onto dressings. It took more than 12 hours of biting before the blood started to thin. In those 12 hours, I had to stay awake otherwise the pressure would be gone.

In those 12 hours, I was literally bored to hell. My legs were killing me because I had been sitting on the couch, on the chair and standing too much. There was nothing to remove the pain Except watching movies.

So I convinced my parents to watch Ip Man. Boy it was really saddening and exciting with kung fu involved.

First day of Holidays - Saturday December 19, 2010

Finally, the all awaited winter holiday is here. NO more school, no more stress and best of all no more work! I AM A FREE ANGEL FREE TO DO WHATEVER I WANT! Im so happy that I'm on the verge of crying. I can't believe its happening to me. Just 24 hours ago, I was dying as I finished typing out my essay.

All the sleeping and fun shall begin as of now!

Stuffed. - Friday December 17, 2010

This was officially the end of my all-nighters this year. I had 2 hours of sleep in total as I tried to finish up my law assignment (Annotated Bib) and boy it took me so long to do it. BUT I finally did it and now I can rejoice and celebrate christmas holidays just like everyone else. After going to school, mandatory I had to hand in a hard copy of my assignment to the teacher, I decided to go attend my last day of school and see the SOPSS assembly. The speaker made the assembly seem like it was really good this year, but in fact it wasn't. It was so-so, some singing, dancing, whatnot... typical for any assembly. There were some breakdancing and that was about it. Nothing special with just a hint of holiday spirit in all of them.

After school, I did not have anything to do and went to a friends house to watch them game. Apparently, they had no consoles and we just played Portal on his computer. It is a very very very dizzy game and it requires so much thinking too. I was tired just from watching it.

We went to eat at Wasabi after and boy I think I ate too much. I drank so much water too which made all the food expand and I was in pain. Felt like throwing up, but I endured it.

While I was eating at the buffet, I skipped fellowship again. They were watching Dispicable Me and I missed it. Oh wells, there's always an opportunity cost in everything. Its what u make most of every decision.

I have a tummyache. Gonna try and sleep it off.

Awards Night - Monday December 13, 2010

Today, I did my test and I was relieved from all the stress for just a few moments before I must dig into other subjects. After that, it was St. John's Awards night and boy I was tired already.

However I won some award so I guess its all worth it now that I can put it on my resume.

Apparently its called the Best Male Crusader Award.

Advil Saved My Day - Sunday December 12, 2010

From the start of this day, I wasn't feeling well. I had this feeling of hunger that lingered even when I ate my breakfast. In addition, I had a test that was coming up on Monday which was pretty important. But throughout this day, I had to volunteer from 9AM to 7PM at an International Expo. There are many cheap booths there that supplied like all kinds of different stuff and most well known was a 50% discount for all blue-notes items. Basically, I sat there from 9AM to 7PM on the same seat for 5 hours and another shift to another place and then placed my bum on that cold seat for another 5 hours. At first, I was doing fine but because of the coldness, my stomach didn't feel well. In the end, I rushed to the washroom and found myself puking into the toilet.

To my surprise, it wasn't a toilet but a big big hole where everything (your #1 or #2) could go and apparently, there was no chemical or anything involved. My fellow co-workers played around and decided to shout through the hole to the girls washroom which was on the other side. Boy our girl co-worker who was using the washroom freaked out when she heard a voice calling her name through the hole. It was an awesome story and pretty funny. But still, I puked and I kind of felt better afterwards.

Me being a fidgety person could not take sitting in one seat for like 5 hours without doing anything. I was bored out of my mind, I could not study cause there was a stage with loud loud music playing the christmas songs over and over again. I was just bored and my bum and legs got so tired. It was painful and then my head started feeling dizzy. Decided to take advil and it helped. I could think straight after it took effect and bought some cheap stuff with my bargaining skills as the booths were about to close and they were desperate to sell off the remaining stuff.

However this was not it, as I returned home, I decided to go to a friends house to continue studying before the day of my test or like 10 hours. We studied a lil, and then fell asleep and then continued studying. Boy her parents kept feeding and feeding us. I was content with all the delicious food.

New Toothbrush. Monday December 6, 2010

Yea... although maybe getting a new toothbrush may not be a new thing to you... but it is to me. Especially getting an electric toothbrush. Now in the mornings, I dont need to waste energy brushing my teeth, just put my toothbrush in my mouth and it does the work for me. I love it.
