A Week's Summary (in photos)
this is what happens when you bring your camera everywhere with you.
Monday: Open Mic @Wilf's-James Wang, the star guitarist geez. this guy is absolutely nuts.human jukebox-just name the song and he can play it for ya.
some exploring @the school afterwards.. we found a safe in the secret passageway to the library...
[Sharon and Amy]
Tuesday: Grad Night
I was so nervous about the whole night I had a major stomache before the program started...I dunno, just thinking about the fact that they won't be here next year..couldn't handle it. Yes yes I know, it's not gonna be bad or good when they're gone next year, but it'll be different (to say the least!!). Who am I supposed to run to for help next year? >.<
the grads
Wednesday: "studyage" begins @SBE-that's where the party's @this year during exam time; not the library. haha. it was a very red day... everyone wore red w/o planning it! hehe.
[me, Sharon aka Spammie, Sharon Man, Hannah]
later that night, after some BK...Hannah and I made some cake for the birthday boy-we were resourceful (or resource-less rather) and used melted sugar to make oats stick to the cake..tasted kinda gross actually but we were rushing.. and then we put crispix all over the other cake. heheh! love this kid to bits. he came into university @17 years old, but a lot more mature than you'd expect.
Thursday: worked on stuff for my placement...did some studying, played pool for an hr @night...
Friday: studied, then watched Inside Man @night.. So we were heading to the theater...I was driving along.. and then the car in front of me just stops way before the light.. I was like what the crap?!and then the guy got out of his car, came over, pulled out his badge.. ahha.. he was a constable.. and then hes like you cant drive around like this w/o any headlights. I had turned them on, but both of them weren't working! I was like oohh I didnt even know... I was SOOO scared when he came over cuz I thought I didnt have my wallet w/me... lol thankfully he didn't give me a ticket; just told me to go home. soooooooooo freaky. good thing my friends were in the car w/me. or else I woulda been even MORe scared.. he didnt give me a ticket tho-phew! first time I got pulled over... >.<
Saturday: had a lesson @10:30am, then did laundry @Hannah's, then went to get my headlights fixed. brought my friend Ivan with me cuz he changed the headlights on his accord before... but turned out to be kinda different, so we were trying to figure it out and then this old bak bak came over n asked if we needed any help lol.. oh man I was so scared he'd like mess up my car or osmething ...his hands were so shaky n stuff too!! hahaha.. but he fixed it all up for me! it took like at least half an hr...sooo nice... afterwards the old couple started talking to us about their son and how he's got his Masters and PhD and now he's a prof @a university in Indiana..jokes. so cute tho. Ivan was hero-so willing to help (even tho I only started getting to know him better this term); I wouldn't have known/understood what to do at all haha.
[Hero of the Day and me]
this week has been so crazy. "studying", eating, talking, joking, etc. EVERYday, ALL day.. w/the same ppl. literally living life together... just like a family. all the days have melded into one cuz we do the same things @the same place everyday, w/the same ppl (plus/minus a few). hahaha it's been so much fun...so much love!HAHAHA. but so bad for the studying!Even tho I guess I have started studying earlier, since my first exam's on the 20th..but still a long way to go to being ready...
and last but not least, i now officially have a goh. teehehehe!
His name is Nevin and he's a lo beng (ppl think he's 30 when they first meet him). He looks really scary/cold/grumpy/intimidating/angry when he's not talking or joking around. And he seems to have no feelings towards others (sometimes). buuuut....
-he looks out for me
-he speaks chinese to me like my parents @home
-he smiles when we take pix together (he says he doesn’t smile for just anyone)
-he imitates my mannerisms along w/Hannah
-he helps me pay for my food when I don't have money on me (yes Alex, I kno u do that too.. and you give me fries also hehe)
-he finishes my food for me when I'm full (…and this!)
-he tells me all guys are jerks, including himself
-he thinks a certain jerk isn’t good enough for me and I should kick his bum
-he tells me to be more assertive
-he encourages/pushes me when I don't think I can do something
-he tells me not to worry when I’m worried
-he says I’m like the little sister he never had :)
