Ryan started the fire!

Oh my gosh..... the first time it legitly snows guess what happens, the fire alarm went off! D= I didn't even know that was the fire alarm until my roommate told me to get up, it was just a loud pitched sound. At least it wasn't just a student pulling on the alarm, when I left my room there was a lot of smoke, and I'm on the first floor.I feel a bit mean. So Shaun, Steph, Thomas and I thought Omar wasn't in res so we left as a group without him, but when we went back he told me he came back last night. Haha, first day back and he has to wake up for a fire alarm, that sucks.
So I grabbed my Ipod to listen to outside right before I left, Thomas on the other hand, brought his entire laptop and basically took his time packing -___-. It shows how well we were fire drill trained....My mom always ridiculed me for sleeping in shorts and it sure felt like she was right today. Going outside in shorts when its snowing is NOT fun but I can't be complaining too much because there were 2 girls in short shorts and they must have been freezing.Thank you Jenny for wishing for a snowstorm.

P.S. Happy Birthday Shaun, what a way to celebrate the day.

Thermal Stamp It!

New Venture presentation today!!! I was so nervous and excited about this darn presentation. I pretty much wrote out my part of the presentation at noon today which meant I couldn't memorize it but I think I did fine for my part, as we all did pretty good presenting. I am so glad this new venture thing is done until next term!

Anyone who was in my english class would know I love presentations because its so much easier than an exam or an essay. If my group isn't the group where people want to try and achieve a better mark than, then I would feel like the presentation did not go well. I think we are the "group to beat" now but of course we'll see after next week when the other groups go. I think the best part of it was the pure numbers. People were just shocked how in depth we went with this. And of course the commercials Andrew made were jokes, I'll try to get them on Youtube.
So my presentation outfit was pretty much all black... but my shoes >___<. I forgot my dress shoes at home so I was wearing my white Jordans. I hope Nicholas didn't notice haha.

I can honestly see this product being made out there so lets see what happens after this new venture, who knows we might be able to make it big.

Waking up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy

Today I was so tired I skipped my GS101 tutorial. I have one day in the term where I can skip and its not for marks so I didn't lose anything not going to it.

I was so tired and my sociology midterm was today. So what was the solution? I slept during economics and woke up right on time for my midterm, what a life. Midterm went pretty decent with a few annoying questions where I knew it was a 50/50 chance of picking the right answer, lets hope luck is in my favour. I swear some one planned this, Some one's cell rang right at the beginning of the midterm and since all the bags were at the front no one picked it up. The song was Kesha ft. P.Diddy - "Tik Tok" and it played like twice before my prof finally put the bag outside >_>. The midterm went decent and the reason I say that is because I didn't have my exam pencil with me. I don't have a lucky pencil or anything but for some reason ever since grade 12 I've used this pencil to write all my multiple choice exams. Its more of a custom than it is a lucky charm.

Last night I was studying my sociology midterm by doing online quiz and stuff. Let me just say the online study site is crap. I did 2 different quizzes and they had one question that was the same, BUT for some reason the answer were different. The question was relatively easy so that wasn't a big problem but the thing is I did not know how many other questions had the wrong answer. I could be pretty much learning the wrong stuff from this site. Useless!

FAIL

Who turned off the lights?

Today I was at the library pretty late. I was talking to Jeffrey and asking him when libraries usually close. And then the lights suddenly turned off and I was like "uhh...that was weird, right when I was talking about it". So I pack up my stuff and look up and realize there is no one else on my floor (I was on the 6th floor). Pretty scary. And if my luck couldn't get any better, it was raining >_>.

Tonight I have an other guy sleeping in my room -__-...... I'll let you guys figure out what that means. Yes yes laugh it up....

Sleep is for the weak

Got home at 6:30am today after finishing my BU111 feasible report. I believe it ended up being right at 15 pages excluding all the sources which is pretty good. Coming in to this week I knew it was going to be tough so I'm not complaining about it. So since this report is done I should be okay with business now? Wrong..... presentation is on Thursday and we haven't started. I wonder how we are going to survive.

After a few hours of sleep: Damn, that was a much needed sleep even if it was only a few hours. I went to bed right as my roommate was waking up. Sad times.... Another long BU111 meeting today for the presentation part of the new venture.

Do not be fooled by this picture, I was extremely tired haha

What a good advertisement for Monster energy drinks!

Rocking out!

Woke up so late today because I stayed up late! But thats sort of good news because that means I won't be tired tonight when I stay up doing my essay. Met up with BU111 group for a bit today but I'll probably be with them for the majority of the day tomorrow ><. We met at the Laurier library and there was this random guy asking people to do this thesis. Like wth? Who even does that? There was one guy nice enough to look at his thesis to tell him if it was good. The guy helping was in second year and he won the new venture project last year! It was weird because when I was talking to him about the new venture project I didn't exactly know if he was talking to me... He must have a lazy eye or something because it looked as if he was just staring into space. I think I might be with them for 10 hours tomorrow, I'll tell you guys how it goes.

I went to the Waterloo Porter library and its so cool there! People were so nice to help me find it because I was lost. Stupid thing is when I was almost at my sister's placee to drop off some snacks for her I realized I forgot the paper that had all the books I needed at the library so i had to walk ALL THE WAY back which was just a pain >_>. At the Laurier library there weren't any books about my topic within China but Waterloo had a ton of books about my topic in China. Just shows you the race difference.After that I went to play table tennis and play pool with Xin and Gary. Ping pong was awesome because we played doubles against these 2 brown guys and we owned them probably 5 games in a row. Oh and I would just like to say Gary got pretty good at table tennis, he smashed it a few times (very cool). And when we finally got the pool table I finally got to use my cue for the first time. It got very funny when the next people were waiting for us and we said we will just finish our game. We took like 10 minutes to finish the game... It was just sad. Every one of us missed countless shots. We missed MANY shots to a point where I laughed every time some one missed an easy straight shot.Dinner was good, thanks Gary! I can always count on you to give a great meal. We watched the hangover too. Fun day, but now time to do work. Oh yeah although this meal looks cool the fire alarm went off because of us hahaha Gary's roommate came out thinking wth?Its fun to hit stuff! Rocking out on random beats and songs (somewhat...).We didn't drink today but I found this picture to look too awesome to not post.Can someone say checkmate?

The gift of internet

I'm at the library right now and after moving to 10 different places in the entire building, I've found a decent internet connection! Special thanks to Edwin for telling me the back of the building has better connection haha. I kept moving to different spots to try out the connection and my darn laptop wouldn't even pick up a signal in some of the spots. >___< the person beside me had perfect connection while I couldn't even find the signal...sad...

Another long night tonight.

9:41pm - Yay I get the room to myself for till Monday, roommates going home.

So for my BU111 report I've been given the task of drawing the prototype. And I'm not great at drawing... Time to use those art lessons as a kid to use!

Wheres my clicker!

The first day back at Laurier and I'm already starting to eat bad. I brought so many junk foods I know I'm not going to be eating well in the next month haha.I went to my economics class and realized I forgot my clicker on my desk so I walked all the way back to res to get it. Made me late by 10 minutes. Some girl's cell rang in the class and Jefferson was laughing because it was some random Jamaican rap song and it was pretty loud. After it rang for a minute because the girl could find the cell in her big tna bag (see this is why I don't understand why girls have those things, its twice their size). Jefferson just gave a -__- face and told her to step out of the room to look for it. Must have been embarrassing for her.

I'm going to be busy for the next few weeks so don't expect many detailed posts. I'll still try to put small daily blogs up every day. And for all those who read my blog daily I just want to say thanks and your support and greatly appreciated!

Story of the Day
Alright so its time for the story of the day. Well this happened a few days ago and I didn't post anything about it because the guy had an excuse for crashing his car. A man driving a $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron crashed into a lake. "Police say a low-flying pelican distracted a driver in Texas, causing him to veer off a road and drive his million-dollar Bugatti Veyron sports car into a salt marsh." Now... that was the excuse, but because there is actually video footage of the crash I'll let you guys decide if there was a "pelican."

This is why I'm giving the driving my douchebag of the day. Not because he crashed his car but because he made it sound like he was such a good person for avoiding an animal on the road. I wonder what his insurance company will think about this.

11/11/09

I slept in today because I woke up before my alarm clock. Yes yes I know this sounds stupid but I woke up and looked at the time and since I saw I was a few minutes before the alarm, I turned it off since I thought I would get up soon. This did not happen...I fell back asleep for another hour haha. Good thing I have later classes or else I would miss many many lectures.

So Jim was talking about the BU111 midterms and he said about half of the exams were marked. Now since most people reading this don't go to WLU, BU111 is for sure the toughest 1st year course in the school. The marks so far ranged from as high at 94% all the way down to 9.5%. Yes, thats right, 9.5%

In sociology me and Eddy kept making fun of these 4 people that look like they are in their 30s and they are very "involved" in the class discussions. Those people are so weird...

A good note today is that I ate lunch even if I had to eat it in 5 minutes. And I'm going home tomorrow so probably no post, I'll save up this weekend and post it all on Sunday.

Shout out to Canadian veterans and the Canadian arms overseas because its Remembrance Day today.

10/11/09 (Let the Battle truly begin)

Ah! Its finally that day! Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is out! Unfortunately since I'm still at Laurier I didn't wait in line at 12am and probably won't get the game until the winter break when I actually have time to play it. One great thing is I'm going home this weekend, which means I'm going to go over to my cousin's (Dennis) house and play the new co-op mode!!! Lets see if we can beat the special op mode in a day!

Oh and of course I have a story for you all. I'm a bit troubled on whether I should give out my bamf or douchebag award. I think I'll give them both out. The bamf of the day goes to the subway driver and the good samaritians and the douchebag award goes to the drunk lady on the track.

This is a small story, but some times those are the best ones. An aboriginal couple spent their "last 10 dollars" on a lottery ticket that won them 50-million-dollars. Kirby Fontaine, 40, of the Sagkeeng First Nation said he was very fortunate to have won the prize after suffering a stroke only one year ago. The money will go toward his medical care, his family, and his tribe.

Of course I want to win the lottery, but if any one else had to win I'm glad it was Kirby

09/11/09

Hey guys its been a few days since I posted something and in internet time that seems like an enternity. Its just I've been sick but I'm feeling a lot better now. Two days ago it was above 15 degrees and I was freezing, I had to wear long pants and a long shirt. This just shows you how bad I was feeling because I'm the guy who walks around in shorts and a T even when its below 0 outside.

Not too much has happened because I've just been staying at res and trying to feel better.

Today in BU111 Jim yelled at these 2 girls behind me for talking throughout his lecture. They didn't even notice he was talking about them until he banged on the table, damn that must have been embarrassing for those 2 people.

I was reading a forum for my economics course and people were talking about the 2nd midterm on the discussions. Everyone now hates this one guy who said "Well I didn't get 100% but I am certain I got 84% or higher" and people first got a bit frustrated because it was a hard midterm and this guy was being a dick and other people were simply saying they wanted a 70%. After the answer key was posted up this guy left another msg saying "Yeah! I was right, I got 84% wow I'm good". After that post everyone hates this guy... I'm not saying this guy should be hated for a high mark, he probably worked hard for it, but rubbing it in peoples faces just isn't right.

Today I was supposed to meet up with BU111 group but they canceled the meeting so I walked across campus for no reason ><. What a waste of time! Oh and I'll add this random photo so this blog won't seem so boring. We post a lot of random things on the fridge.

05/11/09 + 06/11/09

Last night was a long night studying for the 2nd economics midterm but it was still a good day. I got my case study back and my team got the highest mark (Y). This shows my friends theory was right, so this is what he said the night we were doing this assignment.

"Yo like I went to this Jewish private school and it was such a joke, on one assignment every one got A+ but me and a few others only got an A so I was like wtf, then I realized every one else who handed it in with a duo tang. After I complained about my duo tang theory I got an A+."

Haha so that story was pretty dumb but it worked, we were the only team to hand it in with a duo tang.

Yesterday was freezing! I should bring my winter jacket next time I go home, now I regret not listening to my parents on bringing it haha. If the cold wasn't bad enough, my ipod died on me when I was walking home which sucks.

Today the economics midterm was alright, harder than last time for sure. The average of the course will definitely drop pretty bad. Right after the midterm I hit the gym for an hour and my body is pretty sore right now. If you ask Canny he would probably tell you I hate benching but now that I'm at WLU its my favourite work out because its the only thing that really pushes me. Like if I can't do the last rep I'm basically going to kill myself if I give up so I always finish my sets haha.

If you didn't know I have an ipod holder that goes on my arm and I think I wrapped it too tight because every time my right arm flexed it was blocking the blood to getting through my arm.After the gym I went to go get dinner and it was pretty unhealthy haha but its all good, I don't eat stuff like this often. Just in case you can't see its a slice of pizza with chicken wings.

04/11/09

Short blog today guys because I have to study for economics midterm and also do the quiz on myeconlab.

Today I went to my first class except the doors were locked and there was a note on the BU111 door saying Jim is ill so no class today. I was so happy! Not that I wanted Jim to be sick because I think hes a cool prof, but this meant I had time to eat lunch which I never do on Wednesdays. I went to my GS101 tutorial and it was so useless, the class was literally 30 minutes and we did nothing but talk about our essay >_>. I thought we would get our midterm back!

I just wanted to say Raps won! Justin, Edwin, and I were watching the beginning of the game on Edwin's laptop because he bought NBA all access which is cool. He gets to watch all NBA games on his laptop, even the gay TSN2 ones which I can't watch on my tv!

I'll post a blog I started yesterday a little later tonight because I need still add some stuff to it. (Its about MMA) Or I might post something about the world series.

03/11/09

I don't like Tuesdays cause I actually have to wake up early for class! Probably all my friends are saying wth because they wake up early every day haha. I don't know how you people do it, you need to teach me!

GS101 was so boring today I was just playing games on my laptop. Oh yeah and my prof made fun of Asians >=O. He was saying how different people in take different amounts of calories and how you can't compare fat Americans to small Asians. The room was giggling at the 5 Asians in the room of 400 -__-.

12:23am - So it was the CSA poker tournament tonight and it was honestly pretty fun. I met maybe 3 other guys who seemed to know their stuff and I would love to play poker with any of them again. So there were a few tables and only the top people made the final table. My table had all these pro people probably way better than myself and of course it did not help with them playing behind me! There was 1 guy who it was his first time playing poker and wow game after game he had hands like AA or AQ. It got really ridiculous.

I'll give you an example (This is more for people interested in poker, like Canny). So I had J3 in big blind and he had J9 in small. Board came J43 and he bet and I made a smooth call being pretty sure I was ahead and the turn comes an 8 and he bets the minimum and I decide the take the pot right there just in case he was on a draw. He calls and the river came a 4 so his kicker was better. I was so mad! But of course I didn't have it too bad because there were way worse beats that night from this guy.

So I made the final table and Justin did too (he was in another table before). This was the hand I lost in and I could have won too. I had 33 and my friend had KJ. Flop came AQ8 and I raised 10, I should have went all in with 30 chips!!! He would have folded for sure! He called and the 10 came and I GG.ed. Oh well its all good because Justin won in the end (Y) representt!

31/10/09 + 01/11/09

The week is finally over and I'm sure every BBA WLU student will tell you they are happy even if our 2nd economic midterm is a week away. I'll worry about that later! After my exam I was walking back to res and I saw a guy dressed up as a cow and I was like O__O and then I realized its almost Halloween and maybe he was going to party.

I'm watching Foo Fighters live online right now and wow they are my favourite band by far!

So today (or I guess technically yesterday)I just had what every upper year said is the hardest midterm of BBA students in WLU and it did not disappoint. The BU111 midterm was pretty killer. 100s of pages to study is normal for any course but what killed it was just the stock/tax problems. I just hope I passed, literally. For the past few days I've been doing nothing but those problems for practice and I think I even went a little crazy. Only the Jassar students will understand this but I did his mirror ritual where you tell yourself in the mirror your gonna do well. Good thing I didn't get crazy enough for a 1 man laughing exercise. So my apartment must be paper thin or something because last night when I was reading my notes I was pretty sleepy and then all of a sudden I guess the person living above me dropped something and I got so scared and was like wth cause I had my headphones on so I didn't know it was from upstairs. I thought someone threw something at the window or banged on the door. But then I heard them get up and pick it off the floor. At least it woke me up haha.Its Halloween today and I hope I'll have fun tonight seeing friends at Waterloo (no not you guys Jenny and Gary, I'm gonna visit a few of my other friends there 1st BUT of course I'm really excited to see you guys too haha) Random thing but its my roommate's gf's bday today and we sang happy bday to her.Since its Halloween I wanted to dress up but I had no time/ too lazy to get a costume. If I brought my suit to university at least I could have walked around the campus telling every guy I saw to SUIT UP! (only HIMYM fans understand)

Ohh yeah 2 days ago I ran into a sfx friend! Last time I saw Kevin was probably June 2005 when we graduated elementary school haha so thats more than 4 years! wow time sure goes by fast. So the Conversation went like this. He saw me and was like "Hey, sfx?" and I looked and I like uhh.. ohh "Yeah, whats up Kevin!" haha I guess this just means I haven't changed much since grade 8. We couldn't talk much because we had to go back to our res and study for that dang BU111 and he lived across campus from me.

So random but I'm in my living room and the the apartment door is open because we never lock it and my roommate's friend walks in asking for him but I knew he left like 5 minutes ago but his was sooo wasted. He came in like half an hour ago and was already a bit tipsy and when I said hey to him. I know he drunk for sure cause he kept on telling me and Omar we are good people and I remember I kept telling Swapan and Gary that when I drank haha.

I was planning to join the MMA team here at WLU but the schedule didn't fit with mine and I have classes during their practices so I will have to settle for it next term only. Instead I joined the dragon boat team. Watch out Xin I'll be facing you on the waters! I don't really know why i joined it haha but at least it will motivate me to keep in shape and to work more on cardio.



Who said you have to eat bad in uni? No such thing as the freshman 15! This was a random dinner I had with san choi bow and a random dessert on the bottom. Ignore the white part because I ate a chunk of it haha. And of course there is my favourite grass jelly drink too, I probably drink 1 of those a day now which can't be good for me.

^ Random pumpkin my roommate bought and is going to crave it tonight.

6pm: 1st time working out in a month and I am so tired. I wish I had a spotter because when I was doing bench presses I was having trouble with my third set. My roommate is dressed as a woman for Halloween and it is quite disturbing, I would take a picture of him to show you all but that would be beyond awkward.

3am (or is it 4am? I think its day light savings so I'm pretty sure its 3): My upper body and abs are so sore now! My tricep and chest are hurting but I guess thats a good thing. I'll feel it more in the morning.

Tonight's 1st party was soo boring at UWP. When I went there with Gary we were like heyy and it looked like a decent bunch of people but I almost slept X__x. Boring people! So Jenny, Gary, and I left at about 12ish I think. Me and Jenny went to V1 and partied with her friend Zi (hope thats how I spell his name) and all these random people. I think I would give Zi my BAMF of the day because he has a midterm the next day and he still hosted a party. I'll only post 1 picture up so no one gets mad at me haha.So many random games that I learned today. Some were just too complex and I will never remember them though. It was like 8 people in one small room and the don only came in once! We were actually pretty loud too. Good thing no one barfed. That would have ruined the party. Barfers are soft! Nasty to clean and smells bad! So the fact that I'm writing this right after the party shows I'm okay haha.

When I got back to res apparently there was a fight and some one broke the door. I felt bad for the guy cleaning the mess.
My res was in no better shape. But its not that bad so I don't care too much. I hope my roommates had fun.

27/10/09

You have got to be kidding me!!! I'm im my living room studying for BU111 and I try to go into my room to get something and my roommate locked the door. WTF! MY KEYS R IN THERE!!! What a dick... theres a cable going from my room to the living room so how can he not know I'm at res?? >_>

8pm: After about 3 hours my roommate comes back and I can finally go in my room!

10:45pm - Awkward moment in the laundry room X__X. Please take all your clothes out of the dryer before you leave! Thank you!

University makes me tired

I am so tired right now because I just had a 7 hour meeting with my business group doing our case study. The we had the meeting in the game room of King Street res which is a pretty dumb idea because theres a pool table there! So I was distracted most of the time. That table was horrible, the walls either don't bounce or it makes the ball jump, oh yeah, the stick doesn't have a tip...just the plastic part.

Psychology midterm wasn't horrible but it wasn't too great either. I hope I did decent on that midterm. Now its time for me to study sociology and global studies and then maybe a bit of BU111 but I don't see myself doing that till Tuesday after my other midterms.

After my psychology I went to the cafe to get dinner because I didn't feel like cooking dinner. When I went there was a stir fry dish but it was pretty small and I didn't eat anything for the whole day so I decided to get 2. My BU111 group member was behind me in line and when it was her turn and she asked for a stir fry the lady was like "I'm sorry we just ran out of rice" hahaha I felt kind of bad cause I was holding 2 rice boxes and she just gave me a T.T look.
4:00pm - Roommate still sleeping o_O

21/10/09

So today was a Wednesday which meant class from 1pm-7pm, which is decent because I get to sleep in (don't hate). Today when I was making breakfast I burnt my food a bit because I was watching last night's Yankees vs Angels highlights. Is it just me or did I see the worst referee call ever when Tim McClelland called Cano safe at 3rd?

Well BU111 was a long lecture and was pretty difficult but I survived it. I'm gonna die on that midterm!

When I was walking to my GS101 tutorial I saw a cop giving tickets to like 5 cars in a row because they weren't allowed to park on that side of the road. It was pretty funny because he randomly looked at me and I think he said "wow these drivers are just plain stupid" and I just nodded since I was listening to music and barely heard him. AH! I'm so mad cause I was planning to go see LMFAO the day before but since all these darn midterms are stacking up I decided not to go. My friend from this tutorial was telling us how fun it was and how people got to go on stage and stuff >_>...

In economics today there were some HARD clicker questions. One question had 11 people right in a class of 160. It got pretty funny when this blonde girl behind was was talking to her friend saying "the answer has to be C! trust me, I'm not as dumb as I look." And surely enough the answer was not C so I started laughing a bit, but then people were looking at me wondering why I was laughing -__-.

I should have skipped Sociology because she didn't even give anything informative about the midterm and the lecture wasn't gonna be on the midterm. What a waste of time!

The good thing about today was I didn't have a meeting! Finally I'm home at 7:30! I studied for psychology for a long long time and I think I should be decently ready tomorrow. I wonder how much my roommate studied for that midterm. Hes playing WoW now so probably not much.

3:00am: Group member tells me to call him for case study ><. DAMN I AM TIRED!
