"perceiving life as a perpetual film."

this is gonna be a quickie post right now because i'm in the beaver hall com lab and i'm waiting for my friend kim (yeah! made a friend with my dear cousin's name ;P) to come... we're going down to irving's .. one of the local cafes to do homework and read our books for my honors class, literature in journalism. i'm gonna be reading this book called "the right stuff" by tom wolfe.

yeah well it's been really fun so far... we had steamboat barbecue at norman's place on friday night to celebrate Chinese New Year and i'll be posting pictures on the same ofoto website soon as i get round to doing so...we had a great time and bought stuff from this place called the international market where i bought guo tie (dumplings) which were good but nothing like the real stuff from down at queensway and the hawker centres. sigh. i'm really busy right now with homework and such and my camera on loan from school keeps conking out on me it's so irritating! on thursday i went snowboarding and the ski slopes were melted and then refrozen into chunks of ice so yeah, my legs are again covered with multiple bruises. any day where the grass grows green on the ski slope is bad for the snowboarder.

went to a new church with kim this morning and made quite a few new friends while eating brunch (goooooood brunch, fresh strawberries, french toast, good ham, chocolate chip muffin... etc etc.) and the service was really interesting.. i think i'll continue going there. there's a van that picks students up from behind pollock halls so that's great for me and during service there were skits and movie clips and people dancing during worship whenever they felt like it... i really liked the relaxed atmosphere and it feels good to be back within a community that shares the same faith as i do. they use NIV Bibles and have no denomination, the worship team has 3-4 backup singers and the drummer's real good! so yep, things're looking up.

oh yeah, and they've deducted the money from my bank account for the insurance (524 bucks, i'll probably use the insurance if i ever get injured from snowboarding... my left ankle's been twisted so many times it's feeling rather weak) so i'm a poor person now... it's gonna be a great help when the transfer comes over on monday. thanks again ;)!

happy valentines' day all! (though i'll be quite alone heh xoxoxo still from me!)
