Just another day...

it's sunday night and i'm taking a break from classics... final exam is tomorrow.. and im not exactly up to it.. for one there are more names to remember now.. then there's the spelling... plus there are a few people with the same names from different places!! sigh.. *headache*

edmund made us a 3 course dinner on friday.. food was good... dessert especially coz it has almonds (yum!) but it's prolly quite fattening since it's made up of whip cream.. but i had two helpings anyway :)

finally checked out gta:sa after dinner that night.. and i even get go at it.. sadly im a really horrible driver.. i wrecked every car i get my hands on in absolutely no time... sigh.. even i wouldnt trust myself behind the wheels..

i screwed up my bedtime for the entire weekend.. went to bed at abt 6 am on saturday morning.. and was sluggish the entire day.. couldnt really concentrate on my readings.. and i had to take naps throughout the day... then was supposed to meet tk online.. but he was late.. so time got pushed back again.. so i went to bed past 4 am on sunday morning.. wasnt exactly feeling all that great today.. but it was study or fail.. so that's not really a choice...

2 more chapters of classics left since the test.. 12 that were on test 1 and class notes still go to... now im just hoping i wont fall asleep while taking the exam tomorrow.. since i've been napping at that time for the past 2 days...

i absolutely, positively hate that guy in classics! he is such a rude, inconsiderate and downright horrible person. today he had chosen to sit right behind me! talk about bad luck.. so anyway he placed both his feet on the seats to my left and right (which happen to be empty!) which is not nice.. coz he is sort of enveloping me with his legs/feet... then horror of horrors, he decided to take off his shoes!!!!! so now i had to bear with feet in socks enveloping me.. PLUS WRIGGLING TOES!! ugh!

apart from that, today's been a pretty good day..

went to the farmer's market this morning.. got honey and asparagus.. both of which were pretty good... the market was smaller than i thought it would be.. most of the stalls seem to sell pretty much the same stuff..

i decided to get a huge slurpee today.. the biggest i could get.. which is in all honesty HUGE.. even i thought i looked a lil funny... a 'small' (physically... relatively speaking) girl holding a 'big' cup of slurpee.. and after a while i really did wonder how in the world anyone can finish it at one go...


and finally i made a new dish for dinner! stir fry pork with honey.. yum :p~

in the past week i found the answers to some questions i havent really searched for... partly it's coz we're learning about hearing in physio class.. why/how we can tell where certain sounds come from... the only two 'times' i've ever felt i had a problem was when i played tag (blind-folded) when i was young... and when people call out to me on the street... well since i havent played tag in ages, that's not really an issue.. people do still call out to me on the street but i kinda got used to just turning 180 degrees back so im not as bothered as i was last time. but today, as i was about to cross the street, i heard a siren.. and i had no idea where it was coming from. but i know it was definitely coming towards me.. i took a minute to think whether to take the risk and cross or not. then i realize there were too many times in my life where i was clearly at a disadvantage but i never see it as that coz it has always been this way. i've never experience things the 'normal' way.. sometimes i wish i could try.. just for a while.. to see how things would be.. but most of the time i guess im just thankful for what i have.. one maybe be less than two.. but surely better than none.

decided to splurge on friday.. so i went shopping and i managed to get some stuff.. plus some that i havent gotten..

finally posted rex's b'day card.. that's going to be another one that arrives later than it should.. me and my forgetfulness..

spent the weekend away.. manage to do some readings for classics today.. i just about caught up with my readings except for the agamemnon.. which is really a dread to read... i've tried so many times and each time i end up falling asleep after a couple of pages. sigh..

tried to play need for speed underground 2 but it didnt work.. the installation and all went well but when i get to the part where it's supposed to start.. it just wouldnt.. then i checked and found out that i have 254mb of RAM! and the minimum for the game was 256 mb? im not sure if that 2 mb really makes that much of a difference.. but it just wouldnt blardy work! frus! and the thing that gets to me is 256 mb is the standard! i thought my comp had 256 mb.. how in the world did it became 254 mb???! geez..

been getting lousy sleep for the past two weeks.. plus weird dreams.. and they seem to get weirder by the day.. and im putting on.. i can feel it.. havent taken my weight in a while.. but boy if there's one thing im sure.. im getting fatter.. partly due to the high fat diet i've been having lately i guess.. need to start to live healthier.. learnt in physio that chronic stress increases abdominal fat.. (which is where mine seems to be adding on) so maybe that too... (or maybe im just looking for excuses..)

now i've finally gotten around to start uploading pictures on my blog..

decided to make portuguese egg tarts yesterday.. suprisingly it wasnt too bad.. the hardest part was the rolling of the dough to make the crust.. but that paid off since it turned out pretty good if i should say so myself :p


Portuguese Egg Tarts.. YUM! :)

the temperature has soared to above 30 degrees.. so everybody is complaining about it.. plus its getting really humid nowadays.. so icky sticky! i wish i had an air cond.. but finally gotten around to getting a fan.. so that will have to do for now..

went to check out the aptment on the first floor yesterday.. the layout is a little different from mine.. a little smaller too i think.. but at least they've got clean new (white!!) tiles.. went out to tim horton's for a drink.. its the first time i've been there for drink at night since i moved here.. the irony.. it's much closer to where i live now.. but i went there alot more last year...

2 more weeks before the end of first semester of summer school.. i wish august would come sooner.. then i'll get to go on a "well-deserved" break :p and not to mention the weather should be alot better... in the meantime i'll just have to contend with getting old, hot ;p and sticky.. plus a little nuts with physio and all..

sushi making is fun.. and really not too much work at all.. the time consuming part is suprisingly the making of the rice... everything else just needs to be sliced or as edmund puts it "french-ed". lol.. made my first sushi roll.. didnt look too bad :)

really..... need....... to........ start.......... physio.. sigh... i've came up with an excuse and made it a reason to skip having to study physio since friday.. and considering im going out on monday i really dont have much time left... bt veerapura's notes are so dry... and they are not even his own! ugh...

karen seems to be having so much fun in the US now.. i wish i could go on vacation too.. there or anywhere else... starting to *regret* (feels like too strong a word to use) taking summer school... but im sure by the time fall rolls around i'll be thankful..

the weather's been really nice yesterday! how i wish it'll remain at around 20 or so... that would be perfect.. but the weather forecast indicated that it'll reach a high of 30+ next week.. eeiikk! that'll be like back home! i wonder if it'll make me miss home more or less... though logically speaking if i have to suffer the heat.. i might as well enjoy having the people and good food around :p
