stagnant
Been pretty busy lately.. Gotta get out as much as I can before MaOM comes home...
THURSDAY: Worked. Squashed. Ice-creamed. Mmm strawberry sundae in the shadiest part of town...
FRIDAY: Worked. Finally got something else to do. Menial task, but surprisingly, I'm enjoying doing it. It's a nice change. Read for a couple hours at school and then met up w/ a friend. Ate and watched X3. Mmmm mutants. Still need to watch X2...
SATURDAY: Shopped at WEM. Didn't get any shoes but got a pair of jeans. Watched the game. Watched Da Vinci. I was kinda disappointed to tell the truth. Book >>> Movie. Good company tho. :P
SUNDAY: Went out for pho at Ninh Kieu w/ dad for father's day. Shopped at Kingsway. Woot Jacob Connexion.
Much appreciationg to B for going w/ me those days and driving me home after... especially since "I'm halfway to Saskwatchewan." :)
Now I have to clean my room and my study area in the dining room. This could very well take me to Wednesday, which is when the Queen returns to the bee hive...

the transformation
Returning visitors: Yes, I have FINALLY delivered on my promise. I have changed the format and look of my blog. It is not as depressing and dark as my last blog and I have also removed some older posts. (*Appreciation goes to J for being my motivational girl.)
One unfortunate difference that comes along w/ this snazzy new template is that you can't comment on individual blog entries anymore. I am trying to figure out how to fix that.. I am no code wizard though, so that change will probably take as long as it took me to change my template! :P
You CAN however comment in my new chatterbox on the side bar. Please do not use other people's names... that's just mean. (ELLIS, BONG... THIS IS AIMED AT YOU TWO) I know this means limited length in terms of comments, but I will most likely return comments in your blog and we can continue to exchange words there.
I will be adding music eventually.
----------- actual blog entry:
It's been all rainy lately, but that has not put a damper on my mood. The Oilers won w/ Jussi playing magnificently. Went to Howie's place for potluck and went to WEM afterwards for ice cream and silly pics around the mall. (*See MSN space) Oh, and I wore my hair down.. yes, in public. Haven't done that since grade 5? Can't even remember...
Work isn't bad.. still challenging and very great things are being expected of me. It's a lot of pressure, but I'm ok with it for now. I keep getting exhausted at work.. coffee makes me jittery. I end up emailing other Engg students at their jobs haha.
That's all for now. It's the same old me posting here, but with a different backdrop and a definitely much more optimistic view of life than for what my last blog was created. I hope you like.
Life is definitely good.

no shoes but...
So I didn't get to go shoe shopping, but I'm not that sad about it...
I went to play squash with a couple friends. Went to Julios for a drink and walked along Whyte w/ a friend.
Went to watch the game yesterday. It saddened me to see Rolli hurt, but now we must put our confidence in another in hopes that he will rise to the task of aiding the Oilers to victory!!! Go Jussi, Go Conklin!!
It was a pretty good night. We talked and played some pool.. Yes, I still suck at pool.
I dream about it during work, during my sleep and even right at this very moment.. I don't know how to control my urges and wants.. but I want, to GO SHOPPING! Oh CDs, stretch jeans, cute (but large) purses, crop pants (that don't make me look like a midget), shiny (and massive) headphones... oh.. *drool*.. yes.. I need a new set of headphones...

red faced, but feeling good
Tonight was a momentous night. I had.. my first.. tequila shot. Yea.. everyone had "prepped" me by telling me how disgusting it tastes.. but yea, I didn't mind it. (Nothing tastes worst than mom's faa kay sum.. my asian friends, you know what I'm talking about)
Work update: I FINALLY GET what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm working on this huge spreadsheet that design connections for extended shear-tabs. I get it. My supervisor just explains things in a very vague way.
Shopping update: I haven't gone shopping in a LONG time. I will be going tomorrow to hopefully pick up at least one pair of footwear. I have some skirts now, and I have no shoes to wear w/ them. I'm kinda excited.
Physical update: I am sore from going to the driving range, but it was so fun. Tomorrow I'm going to play squash to work off this fat that has somehow found me and clung to me. BEGONE CELLULOSE!!
I'm thinking of getting my ears pierced for the first time... I'm excited about that too. I'm just excited in general. I'm gonna be working on revamping me. The next BIG step: wear my hair down... in public. Yes, I haven't worn my hair down in public casually since elementary school... it will be CRAZY!!!
I'm kinda just really energetic right now.. and I think it's because I've been drinking a lot of juice lately.. a bit too much sugar for me.
Yes.. that is all for now. Word to your mother.
