I hope no one gets offended (well, only if you're Irish...)
BUT! IT SEEMS AS IF THE BRITISH WIN! TAKE THAT IRELAND!
BRITAIN - 1
IRELAND - 0
So, it looks as if the British group that I went downtown to meet today (headed up by Sir Robert of something...) have decided to sublet our apartment for the summer. GOOD SHOW OLD BOY. BWAHAHAHAHA
Anyways, I have to stay around until 1400 when ANOTHER BRITISH GROUP shows up at the apartment, and mercilessly tell them. "THE APARTMENT HAS BEEN SOLD. GIVE ME YOUR MONEY. THIS IS A ROBBERY."
Oh yeah...Gonna show the apartment to some Brits tomorrow at 1100...Hopefully this deal will go better than the previous one with the Irish.
Hmm...what's with the British Isles and their stream of people interested in our apartment? oh well. It's good that they are.
BELATED (by about 3 weeks) b-day party for PEGSTA at Shin's house today. Jokes game...that cranium. Ridiculously all over the place (how the heck do Jeff and Kevin develop such a symbiotic relationship? They're monsters at these team-guessing games. Bastages.)
Bwahahaha. Anyways, I'm up in about 6 hours. So...Maybe I'll try to make the most sleep of it.
AYE!
Okay...MDHS Classics Club barbeques are ridiculous...Today was no exception.
A bunch of current and old-skool MDHS classics people went over to Mr. Mclaren's place for a BBQ today...and I TURNED the tables on him, by giving HIM nanaimo bars! The much hated food of the civilized world.
Anyways...Mr. Mclaren decided to go on a CRAZY BARBECUING spree...making around like...40 or so burgers. AFTER we had all eaten our fill. So...I being the Classics official "eater of stuff" decided to eat as many as I could. So...of the 40 new burgers he made...I ate maybe...5 or 6. This added to my 5 or so burgers from earlier, gave me a grand total of TEN FREAKIN' BURGERS That's just PLAIN WRONG.
Man...AND afterwards...I ate many a bowl of tiramisu (how is that spelt???) anyways..it was REALLY GOOD. And also I threw in some timbits and ate them in the tiramisu...(am I even talking about the right thing here?) And ate an ice cream sandwich AND...duh duh duh...freakin' NANAIMO BARS! At least this time, it was just one; not the THIRTY that Mr. Mclaren MADE me eat a few competitions ago...worst person EVER!
And so...I'm at home, having completed about 300 of those bicycle ab workout things...300 reps, not sets. Hahahaha. And about 100 pushups. Trying to burn off the DEATH from all that burger-age.
(holy crap...Wayne just thought I meant I did 100 reps in a row...that's monstrous. Anyways, he's hoorj these days. Which kinda reminded me of my policy earlier this year to get more in shape...hence the workout today. And hopefully home workout-ing that will continue until I get back to school, for POLISH COMBAT to take over.)
So...until the year begins for POLISH COMBAT, I will undertake...CHINESE TRAINING.
(if you're asking yourself "Does he ALWAYS have to make some sort of racial slur?" The answer is YES.")
Freakin...I would like to amend my statement about saturday being the longest day ever...cuz evidently, TODAY was.
I had my interview at 0930 at Woodbine and Danforth (which is ridiculously far already...) And so I get there. Fine.
They give me this package about how their daycare center operates and jive, and ask me to answer a few questions on paper.
Fine.
I go into my interview at about 10 or 1030 and get out around 1045-ish. Fine. Then they ask me to come back at 12, to "volunteer" with one of their classes. I'm thinking...hmm...okay...That's not too bad. So I do that. Hang around the danforth, notice that there are a LOT of Italians standing and sitting around...think to myself. "This is like...mafia town or something. Don't make fun of the wops..." Err..Italians.
So...I go back at 12 and I play with the kids, them having never seen a Chinese male in real life (evidently) decide to attach the label of the ONLY Chinese guy they've ever seen. Jackie Chan. So...to those 23 or so kids, I am "Jackie Chan." Freakin' Hilarious...crazy kids.
So I finish at 1, and THEN...I'm told. "If you don't mind, come back at 2, then you can see how the younger kids are like." I'm thinking "FREAKIN!!!!!!"
But...having no good excuse to bail, I tick around. And from 2 - 5:30 I play with the little little kids who toddle around and attack anything that moves, and never listen to anybody.
Man...if I didn't get this job, they've managed to trick 1 full day of FREE work outta me. Curses.
Back from an amazing Baptism ceremony today for PEGSTA (and 14 other members of the Unionville Alliance Church)
Huge stuff. I really liked how they had an "encourager" come up and speak to them before the actual emersion ceremony. Really hardcore stuff. Really good stuff...
And I dunno...it was really good to hear all those people declaring their intention to faithfully serve Him starting from that day onwards. (Though I might have been less than supportive in BODY LANGUAGE) But yeah...Good to hear of a growth in faith, and especially of a good friend like Peggy.
= )
I dunno, just made me think back to my own Baptism last year, it was around this time and now that I think of it...it could've been the EXACT day (the 22nd)...that would be cool if it was.
Been thinking of how I've lived my life since that day, if I've done all that I could do to uphold that title "Christian"...And looking back, I feel that there are several spots where I've screwed up, and haven't done a good job with His glory at stake. Though last year was a great year overall, it had its ups and downs and that definitely had an impact on my Christian life. I guess that today got me thinking about myself...(greedy bastage! hahahaha...) And how well my year has been, spiritually.
I'm proud to say that I've learnt a lot the past year, really grown up quite a bit. Well, in some aspects. Not so much in others. BWAHAHAHA! I WIN!
But yeah...I'm still looking for just...direction from Him. I've chosen a path to walk, but where that path goes? It's up to Him. I'm just praying that I'll get some advance warning of any major changes that are s'posed to happen, or a heads-up on any major happenings that relate to my path. A hard path it is to walk...but...Y'know, we ALL have a tough path to walk, well...we're S'POSED to have a hard walk. If YOUR path ain't hard, you ain't walking the right path friend! Or something to that effect...
But yeah...I'm so inspired by seeing Baptisms, and hearing testimonies. And just seeing all the good things that He's doing out there. I mean, I see stuff that He does and have a small view of what works He's doing in others...but to see and hear 15 people get up on stage and commit their LIVES for Him? That's good stuff.
What else is good stuff? That I'm prolly gonna head off to sleep soon. Crazy job interview at a ridiculously far place. Oh yeah, commuting axion!
HAhahaha, I foolishly made the mistake of gaming until 4am last night...WHILST knowing that I had to wake up at 0730 for freakin' dragonboat hauling-ass-down-town.
But man...Was I in for quite the long day.
Evidently Stew decided to take up Folkers' job of BEING AN ASS. And he was quite the ass. Added to the fact that I couldn't KICK HIS ASS because his wooman was there...was quite frustrating. Bastard.
(oh yeah, throw in Garway being a normal ass...and that completed the morning going completely bad. LIKE HIS FACE)
So Dragonboat was really cool, and has pushed me into saying that I will GO TO PRACTICE next year to make the Vic team, cuz they're all...Vic...and stuff...w00t.
Yeah, WANG SANG has HOORJ in all his paddling...uhh...glory? Yeah. Too bad that the Mississauga Canoe Club is genetically bred to OWN OTHER TEAMS IN PADDLING. Seriously...that team was monstrous and huge and powerful. Crazy stuff.
Then those homos went off to that SARS concert and I sat around on the island waiting for someone (but I didn't mind...cuz y'know. That's cool. hehehe)
And she shows up with her friend (who's pretty jokes. Those two are mad different, so weird...) Anyways. Enough blogging about that.
OH man...freakin'...I walked around TO for like...4 hours by myself. Just wandering. Because I didn't know when the SARS concert would end...so I stayed around until like 7. When in fact, I could've left at FIVE! RIDICULOUS PIECE OF SHIT DAY! Well...just the wandering part
And it wasn't so bad...because I got a lot of thinking done. Mainly cuz it was just my thoughts bouncing around in my head. Of course, that leads to some danger as I was nearly run over by several rogue cabbies (or not so rogue ones...) Bastards.
In conclusion, I am tired beyond belief, starting to miss someone who hasn't even left the continent yet, and determined to PLAY DRAGONBOAT NEXT YEAR! Play? Ah whatever.
Secondary conclusion? How the crap can I miss someone who hasn't left yet? Freakin'...!!!...Too tired to yell out a proper freakin'...*sigh*...
OH!! I remember why I'm so damn tired today! I ate a piece of toast for breakfast...and until about...half an hour ago, when I ate a bowl of rice and some beans. I had eaten NOTHING all day! BWAHAHAHA. I was walking around downtown for 4 hours (well, 6 if you count with her and her friend) WITHOUT HAVING FOOD ALLL DAY.
First off, SORRY TO PY for not being able to haul my arse downtown quick enough to chillax with him before his bro's convocation pictures.
I swear...the Wang Sang place BREEDS laziness!
BREEDS!
SO MUCH LAZY...it felt JUST LIKE RJ420...
SPEAKING OF WHICH!!! I saw IDIOT LAWRENCE!! (Of Sing Wang Ho and Lawrence fame. See April 17th posting)
Hahaha. I saw him on the subway on my way back uptown from downtown following UTCCF and a purchasing a video card fan.
Which leads me in to my NEXT topic. So...last night, my video card fan STOPPED WORKING!!! This is CATASTROPHIC news.
So whilst downtown, I decided to get a fan. And it's installed, and now all is saved from BURNING BURNING PAIN.
So instead of eating dinner with the CCF crowd, I ate dinner with my dad. Just the two of us. VERY interesting, I don't think I've ever been able to sit anywhere and have dinner with just my dad...and the absence of the noisy monster that is my brother (hahahaha. He's jokes. In every bad way possible) Yah...interesting stuff.
Indeed.
HAhaha, and while doing the CCF program...none other than SAIGIN GOVENDER RAN BY. He was late for a meeting with an apartment owner for next year, and swearing as he was avoiding cars. HILARIOUS STUFF.
Freakin'...went to a soccer game with Andy after dealing up some contract stuff with Gway (looks like we have some SUB-TENANTS FOR THE SUMMER!)
hopefully that deal will go through...it'll save our collective arses from $4240 of wasted MONEYS!!)
SWEET.
But man...a billion mosquitoes out there...and I'm standing around going "dum de dum...look at me. I'm a target." Freakin' bloodsuckers...they'll kill ya twice before you hit the ground. Bwahahahaha.
RIDICULOUS. In order to get downtown, I have to haul my butt outta bed at like...0900 tomorrow. WORST TIME EVER. SO EARLY.
hahhaha, I should stop complaining.
Okay now...I've gotta learn MORE cooking things...although I think UGLY here doesn't trust my cooking too much...
FINE! DIE!
Oh yeah...have you ever seen FOLKERS not crazy? Well last night, he and Kiddie Shin were over here...and Folkers, hated enemy of all civilized people, was quietly reading about Warhammer...And Andy was scanning stuff and using ICQ lite..
only it was weird...because while he was ANSWERING messages on ICQ...he was also answering them ALOUD and I mean ALOUD
it was weird...cuz he was yelling and laughing and going all crazy. And for the first time in history, I was ON MARK'S SIDE...in denouncing his insanity. And subsequent heresy. (heresy you say? I DO SAY.)
And I don't think this post makes much sense...but...if you have a problem...YOU CAN TAKE IT UP WITH THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT...
MY FIST!
IN YOUR EYE!
I learnt how to make egg-stuff...and mushroom stuff...and some green stuff...I assume they're vegetables or something related to them
And some sorta meat kinda dish...RRRGGGH. I know the name in chinese...but...I don't know it in english.
It's like...well in chinese, it's that term you use to describe someone that's skinny. It's like, old school chinese parent talkage....ARGH.
Well...I think I give up on the whole job searching business. I'm being boned by being unable to find any nearby jobs (whilst stubbornly holding my conviction in my choice of job application...Oh well)
Instead, it looks like I'll be spending obscene amounts of money on Warhammer 40,000 materiel...for the upcoming Eye of Terror global campaign...Damn. I need some money. Anyone wanna help me knock over a bank or two?
= )
BWAHAHA! In further news, I found that the Dentist gave me this water-squirty kinda thing...it's like a needle except it's intended to spray water into my gaping mouth wound.
GAME OVER!
This thing is the best!
okay...I'm making no sense.
so...off I go!
good thing I'm not stupid enough to order some drilling for them
= )
Well...until my anesthetic wears off...I'll be around.
After? Well...Maybe I'll be in some alley screaming at the top of my lungs.
oh my...I can feel it wearing off already...crap!
It's a good movie! Filled with fish, and swimming and all sorts of other goodness!
It's a really good movie though. Up there with my other favoured animatedZ: Shrek, Monsters Inc...Ice Age was okay...but...not THAT great.
And the like! At any rate, yeah.
Hmm...although once again, on the movie watching I seem to be behind the rest of you chumps (Especially you high schoolers...)
Oh well.
*shrug*
I guess it's clear that I didn't want New Jersey to win...but win they did. AND HOW! 3-0...madness...pure madness
well...I guess it's back to waiting for next season...for the Leafs. *sigh*
nuts.
For a change I'll post some thoughtful-stuff...Which I actually THOUGHT about
It's...interesting to see how much things have changed at my home church...Markham Chinese Alliance Church, since I've been there from last year. Most of my year was spent downtown, with periodic visits back up to teach kiddie sunday school (which was jokes, cuz kids + Raymond = MADNESS! But the FUN type! Bwahahaha)
yeah...it would've made more sense for me to post this LAST MONTH...when I went back to service...Wait. no...I didn't go that many times in May...due to Campus Challenge and other stuff...Anyways, back to the main point.
So yesterday...I heard the new english-ministry Pastor speak in a sermon for the first time. Not bad. Some minor things that I thought up, but they weren't theological ideas just presentation issues. But whatever...
But overall...the church just seems different to me. Hard to explain in a post...just...this itching at the back of my mind...
Because I know that next year I will be back in Markham even less for Church (if at all)...and the same would likely apply for the rest of my undergrad...and then grad school (whatever it'll be...depending on what He says to me...) And that's even MORE time away. How's that gonna work? I can only assume, hope, that new members will enter the Church. It seems...so rough that I'm not around to talk to and get to know and watch these people grow. I want to get to know these new people...but...if I'm not around, that's not going to happen.
Even the people from before...things just seem different with them. I guess I wasn't as "tight" with them before my 8 months downtown...and being down there for most of it certainly didn't help things. Well, I placed myself into this hole. But...do I want to try and dig myself out only for the next year to smack down on it all?
hmmm...
I definitely need to pray about this more...
(back to your regular scheduled ranting)
Hey! My post is on monday! SWEET AXCTION!!
Which means, my reference to sunday is STILL VALID!
OWN3D!
So...Risk 2210 is a HILARIOUS game. SO MUCH TENSION AND ANGER AND RIVALRY!
BWAHAHAHAHA
As usual, I start the game with my standard Anti-Folkers agenda, which means EVERYTHING I do...is AGAINST...THE FOLKERS!
And then, in an unusual act of VILLAINY...ANDY SHIN strikes at my provinces. REPEATEDLY This had to be met with full force...as China cannot tolerate any dissidents! HAHAHAHA (it's the Chinese General in me speaking)
And so...I bent my ENTIRE FORCE towards CRUSHING THE TREACHEROUS TAIWANESE DOG! Err...no offense to anyone FROM Taiwan, they've got hot chicks. BWAHAHAHA. (I've led a horrifying life...)
At any rate...that was the night...and I'm reinstalling War3 thanks to my g33kish reformat yesterday.
Let this be know, that I am COUNTER-BLOGGING DIRECTLY IN RESPONSE TO THIS
well, I also was NOT trying my UTMOST to defeat Andy Shin. Though it be known, that my PREVIOUS high score on my current computer would in no shape way or form, have fallen to FOOLISH MAN's score.
Certainly not today, certainly not ANY DAY.
At any rate, we have our KEYS and CONTRACTS for the apartment downtown.
JOHN YE IS OFFICIALLY OUR BEYOTCH! BWAHAHAHA. WE OWN HIM! That's cuz he wasn't on hand for the actual LEASE, but he is instead, a SUB-LEASER...from US!
OWN3D!
Yo...if I can get that job at Metropolitan United Church, that would be HUGE!
So amazing if I can get a summer and/or school term job there...
SO GOOD.
Yeah...so I can't make any more of some certain jokes...And it's all HIS FAULT.
Well, not really his fault. But he did start those jokes...and when he stopped making them, I started picking up the slack.
Hmm...comp went bad today...Win2k wouldn't start...I had to get it reformatted and reinstallation of windows..
However, I forgot that wiping the C:\ drive would cause all my registry numbers to go wack...AND delete my fancy desktop pattern (It was a Cross! A NICE CROSS! BLARGGH) AND delete all my email settings, ALONG with my email
And I got 1 wisdom tooth pulled. Second one is coming out in a few weeks.
All in all...a weird day.
Watched National Security at GWay's place...but couldn't really hassle FOLKERS because of the pain that would sear up in my mouth if I tried yelling.
looks like the angry man is out of commission for a few days...or weeks...until the NEXT freakin' tooth-sawing.
