I had some shocking news today
My friend told me his home was destroyed by a hurricane......... a few weeks ago. I didn't even really now... maybe cos i was all the way out here. Living at U of W. I didn't really reailise it till now, i've been living in an insular time capsule where all i know is " eat, classes, dorm, sleep , repeat" I know it is not really my fault but....
I mean.... to lose your home.... if i lost my home. All your posessions gone ( unless you evacuated) but still... the place you grew up in. Taken away by a cruel gale of nature. God yet again testing us. Why he does it, we don't know. It's just... i feel so terrible for him and shocked. Your home destroyed, it's so terrible.
Now it seems so trivial all that i've been doing. We can be rich or poor but when it comes to natural disasters, no-one can escape it. It is soo sad.
And now i have to start studying - again

Hello again friends
Last friday.. i have seriously never seen so many drunk ppl in my LIFE
seriously
Drunk people are scary, they became extremely animated versions of themselves. Jumping around hugging each other/falling over/laughing uncontrollably. If a person is extroverted when sober, chances are they will be quiet. If there are not very loud normally, they will be when drunk. It is interesting.... just go to facebook.
As for me... i did drink something... and no i did not get drunk
Oh well, how;s that for my first college drinking experience? or rather witnessing my floor do it. HAHAh
I hate CS 100 and i am seriously worried about it, and for all my subjects except business. I just want to fricking DO WELL!!!
I am not a social person... i just enjoy being social.
The thing i realised is that, the idiot he-who-must-not-be-named has scarred me, i'm afraid of ending up in a vicious cycle in a relationship with a horrible guy and everything repeating itself. Scares me. I know i can't find the perfect guy, and the more ardently you search for it the less you can find it. Hell i am not even searching right now, i'm too busy enjoying not having to be attached to anyone, having an obligation to them at all! it rocks!! being able to hang out with as MANY ppl as i like.
What i would look for in a guy
1. Good looks ( has to be attractive enough for me to lust over, though this is not the most important)
2. Must be a FUN person ( enjoy doing fun stuff like going out, being outside, must have an active hobby with a GOOD sense of humour, being a good sport, enjoy doing things that the mainstream doesn't neccessarily do)
3. Smart ( streetsmart or booksmart )
4. Considerate and caring
5. The capactity to not be arrogant and egotistical and not think the world revolves around them ( am i asking for the damned moon here?)
6. Not to lie or cheat ( one white lie is ok, but full on lying... not good, cheating is huge no-no)
7.Able to treat me right- A gf is NOT a wrestling partner ( i mean wrestling, WWE wrestling) Someone you can purposely make to feel guilty, someone you can't accept for who they are, your diry little secret
8. If you fit the above 7 terrific! you are a decent guy!

UW 2nd week
Two weeks into university...
I did not expect a cake walk but...
I guess it is a balancing act, CS 100 is a pain, german is getting harder, pysch ( i hope i dont sleep in the next lecture) Business is ok-ish and econ is fine ( so far)
Anyway, here are some things i have learned at UW, don't necessarily relate to academics
a) Meet UWACE.Uwaterloo.ca your new bestest friend! ( yeah right)
b) The school seems to want to zap you of money at ANY opportunity ( ie printing accounts, the vast amt of things you have to buy for class)
c) Orientation week isn't what it's cracked up to be, then you should now it by now, waterloo is no party school, so if you expected it be a booze fest think again. there are dance parties though, which are fun
d) CS 100 is cursed course ( in which the labs i made to feel like i have the intelligence of a gold fish)
e) CS 100 is a cursed course
f) Having a roommate is fun( in fact it is actually more fun than facing four walls and talking to yourself)
g) Still haven't meet any real quality guys yet.. i mean there are a few who are really genuinely nice guys who are fun to hang out with but.... oh well i shouldn;t even be thinking about this! ( remember i have only been single for 3mths... i have to wait at least 6 )
h) I now know what it is like to be keegan ( when ppl come back from the weekend i feel like keegan when we come back from a holiday)
If i can think of anymore i will put them up

Just shoot me now.........
I never say or remember i have a bad day, but this one was semi-bad...
I woke up late for starters, had 8.30am pysch class. Joined Caitlin and daisy for breakfast then walked with them to pysch class in hagey hall.We just followed the mass of people walking towards hagey hall. The class was in a theatre... yes you heard right. According to the prof ( dr spencer) it is the biggest first year class on campus ( 600 students) though it didn't seem like 600 to me. The prof seemed ok, apparently we get credits for participating in experiments.
It was alright, despite the fact that there is no writing desk on the chairs and today was freaking cold.
Bought some posters at the SLC, really nice ones. One is a vermeer painting , one is an " across the universe " poster and the third one says " Well behaved women rarely make history" I was supposed to meet my roomate at the SLC but couldn['t find her.... then i realised that i left my timetable back in dorm room so i had to walk ALL the way back to rev to pick it up so i knew where to go for the stupid CS 100 lab. Found the CS 100 lab in the MC building. Everything seemed rather confusing and i had to keep asking the TA for help. In the end i think i was the only person who couldn't finish the assignment and everyone was cold ( literally) and unfriendly ( well that is computers for you) i am an idiot sometimes.
Then TRIED to look for the PAS building but couldn't find it so i went back to rev to rest before my 4pm class ( business) walked with a bunch of ppl from my floor to TRY to find the JR coutts building for business class. We ended up getting lost and had to ask for directions twice, in the end it was really right by the library which we were far away from. Turns out we were late!! altough it was only a few minutes past 4pm. The lecture hall was PACKED, as in it was crampt although there were less ppl than pysch it was still squashy. Found most of my friends in the front rows and had to scout around towards the middle for empty spaces. Luckily managed to find one. The professor seemed like a rather dynamic kind of teacher, calling himself a coach or facilitator and insisting on teaching actively and that this class was a participation class and not just a lecture where everyone sits down to copy notes. Well the good thing about that is you DO NOT fall asleep at all! and the surprising thing was everytime he asked questions, hands ALWAYS flew up! ppl always would ask questions or answer them what's more they gave rather intelligent answers ( ok though some seemed rather show-offy and smart-alecky to me) Then we had to work in fours with the ppl in front of you and beside you. Turns out, the guy sitting next to me had the exact same classes as me that day and i had never seen him til i sat next to him oh and apparently he has a part-time job at sobeys. Well the business class seemes rather fun and interesting.
I guess as the term goes by, it will be FUCKING hard labour ( think O levels) but i think i will enjoy the courses which is good.
Worry list
1. Co-op ( my resume sucks )
2. I haven't worked since early 2007
3. Should i get an on campus job to boost my resume and earn extra money?
4. If i get an on-campus job would i have time to study?
5. Join clubs ( would i have time to study? )
6. ALL the stuff that is just piling up
7. HAVING to get GOOD grades for everything
To do list
1. check uwace for business hw or notes
2. ditto for com studies ( which is confusing)
3 Revise for german tmr
4. Revise for econ tmr ( surprisingly econ is the one i am least worried about at the moment)
5. Start reading up for business
And my life is busy again ! should i be happy ? i should right?

Water water water loo loo loo
So my so-called University life has begun.....
ok so maybe only frosh week which was quite fun. But the week seemed soooo looooong. Not really in a bad way, in a way that a ton of things happened that we didn't realize just a week had passed.
My roommate is nice, i guess i am lucky i got someone that i get along with easily. I hope my accent does not change too much. Cos i am now surrounded by canadians not international students anymore so it just might by a bit. Maybe cos i have been speaking with a somewhat singaporean accent for the last 3 mths. Wow, i just think back to a week ago... barely anyone on our floor knew each other and now at least we all get along and among the girls i know almost every girl on my floor's name. We keep the doors open in the day so we just walk in and out. At least that was what it was like during Frosh week, not sure about now.
Frosh week activities- Some were outragously fun, some not so. I think the fact that i have had too many orientations and pep rallies and experienced so much " school pride" has kinda worn me out. Of course i don't mind cheering so much, especially for my University. But hey.. Water water water looo loo loo
