I just need to forget you

I really need to start counting the days to go home........

But i'm not, though yes yes i can slowly feel the " happy-im-going-homeness" true... and YES i should be studying now. But i'm not. I . Will. Get. Down. To. It

DAMMIT WHERE THE FUCK IS MY IPOD

I NEEDSSSSSSSSSSS IT

Recently a ST journalist published an editorial concerning her opinions on domestic violence. I don't want to explain it so here is the link http://blogs.straitstimes.com/2009/3/13/was-rihanna-semi-responsible

READ THIS
it will make you angry

I mean really, giving advise to " change themselves?" really? really? that was my initial reaction. Abuse itsn't about just hitting, it's also verbal abuse, emotional abuse. No-one deserves to be treated like that. Not a man or woman. I just think it is OUT OF LINE to give advise like that. I mean, what if people read it and actually take it? if i were her i would feel responsible!! it is irresponsible journalism in my opinion, there is no way around it.

Sure people have different tolerance levels and can handle it, but the thing is they SHOULD NOT. I myself was in a relationship where i was constantly lied to, tricked and emotionally manipulated, it was not FUN. It took a long time to finally leave that relationship and when i did i held no regrets. It took tons of parental support, persuasion ( they tried to persuade me) and tons of their patience for me to eventually come around and leave him. But when i finally did it, id didn;t hurt as much as i thought it would. I guess i was just exhausted and finally relieved to end it once and for all. I had to look past the love, everything we had been through together, the good to finally end it.

My point is, abuse whether mild or severe, physical or emotional isn;t right in any kind of relationship, be it marital or simply dating, fifteen year old or fifty year old, man or woman. Condoning it just isn't right, i am justified in saying this right?

Would i give you up?

Things i have learned these last couple of weeks

1. St Paddy's day should be dubbed " Canadian Green house day" seriously the way everyone goes around wearing green coloured outfits reminds me of singaporean school kids on Sport's day.. i was tempeted to yell " GO GREEN HOUSE GO!!" but contained myself as i would have looked insane

2. Never give myself 2 weeks for an essay, instead NARROW IT DOWN TO 5 DAYS. Seriously 2 weeks obsessing over a 5 page essay or writing like a mad man for 5 days with little time to spare? i;d go for the latter now

3. Apparently blue tack isn't allowed on doors... but they don't scrape paint out like some kinds of tape does? wierd

4. NEVER LOSE YOUR CELL PHONE and ALWAYS GET FLIGHT DATES RIGHT

5. OUr accounting TA or whoever is in charge of putting up stuff on ace.. seriously if there is an assignment due in 3 frickin days and the assignment is NOT even up yet?? NOT FAIR. We're not all geniuses who can figure it out overnight! geezzz

6. If i had to be any other race, i would be brown / indian

Just 2 more weeks left... im not going to pretend that im overjoyed it's ending, cos im not. I liked this term a lot... more than last term, OK OK im happy about accounting ending, and not having to eat bad caf food.

Im bored...

I should be starting to write my religious studies essay BUT, the topic is
1. Select one tradition and choose one of its rituals, observances or practices. Discuss how and why this practice has changed in the context and conditions of Canadian life.

2. Choose one tradition community and discuss how its members are working to ensure that their tradition is passed down to succeeding generations in the Canadian context, as well as how the community's younger generation(s) receives, resists, and/or changes the tradition being handed down to them.



Yeah... how am i supposed to write that? I mean the books i checked out of the library merely describle the religion and the practice of it... but i was thinkin a bout number 2 as it sounds more interesting.... If i could base i on Singapore... No i can't... it has to be canadian... fine i'll just email the TA. I just have to get at least a 75 in this class, i NEEDS higher grades.

Right now, im getting a headache from staring at this screen for too long... it's either this or staring at a book, yeah i really should be reading accounting chap 20 but I AM NOT. I got a new phone too... it's a REALLY nice one and i WILL NOT LOSE IT like the others. Im just an untidy person that's all........ so you gonna start hating on ppl who don't keep things in order! deal WITH IT. Went to watch the last house on the left last night.It was FRICKEN INTENSE VIOLENCE. The rape scene... although not graphic... oh boy SOUNDED dramatic... definetely the sort of movie that tests your limits on violent movies... no, it's not like the Saw movies, the saw movies are sorta different kind of violence/ horror. This one.. about 40 % of it was the music, take away the music and most horror movies aren't that bad !

That's the truth ofit, and ok it is LESS fun. Wow, im going home in 5 weeks... which means i have to pack out this room... I DO NOT WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've learned to like this place... the ppl.... the convenience! dammit... now im gonna be living OFF campus. Oh wells. Wow, 2nd year... FAST . I almost can't believe it.

The sad part... i haven't been romantically involved with anyone since whats-his-name, no not the one with the J with one with K. ERGHHH. It will forever BE awkward... sad but true. It;s sad.. it is SO hard to find guys...well the good ones anyway, have i become more picky? i don't know.... well.... there was earlier this week when i was walking to class, i went to RCH to pick up my accounting paper and as i was walking out i bumped into the guy zach from my german class semester, ok sounds wierd but i had a MILD crush on him... i mean he was pretty hot... nice brown curly hair.. cute smile and sooo modest ( he used to top the class). He actually STOPPED to talk to me, i asked him if he was still taking german, he said no with a laugh. Thinking back on it... I SHOULD HAVE JUST GOTTEN HIS NUMBER, but the thing of it is i didn't have my phone at the time... and i don't think i would have th guts to do it... why?
a) he would think im too forward / desperate
b) He would think, " i hardly know her, why is she doing this?"
c) what if he already has a girlfriend?
d) He might not give it out thinking im too much of a stalker/ wierdo
e) i don't have the guts
seriously i think i am driven by desperation to do this... or maybe... just a thought that occured during reading week,i was at a club with my friends... an annoying bugger was following me around after i said NO to a dance with him...... He said " Oh.. is because your boyfriend is here with you tonight?" I was have tempted to say YES and grab one of my guy friends and FORCE him to pretend to be my bf just to keep the guy away but then i realized how terrible that would turn out *( for more details on that read below) That's when i thought... i NEED to find a boyfriend...... Ok that sounded dumb... but... it was jus a thought

Sighs.... if only it were simpler.... ppl say you find your partner at university... it is HARDER than i imagined it to be, but i DO NOT want to give up!

* One my reading week trip, one of my guy friends, told me he liked me... unfortunately this is not reciprocated and i had to say no. thankfully we never raised the subject again

Do i only ever blog when i should not be?

Probably.......

Sorry for the absenece, either i forget or there just is nothing that interesting to blog about or i don't want to blog about.....

Anyway, i should not be blogging as brad macmaster the accounting prof is delivering his lecture and we just answered a clicker question... Anyway, who really listens in his class? i mean some do, but...

What's been going on so far for me? Let's see, doing pretty well academically this semester ( lucky break) well except for AFM, that's a pain and everyone is sort of in the same boat as me.......

Anyway........ I AM GOING TO SPEND AT LEAST 1 MONTH WORKING WITH HORSES IN NOVA SCOTIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAA
Dream fucking come true

then if i get the job, working with disabled kids at a summer camp for 2 mths... This is pretty fantastic if everything works out!!!

But yes, good things that have happended..

Term will be over in a month.... SOO quickly, i can't believe it. This terms definetely passed a lot faster as compared with last term. In late march would mark my 2 years of being in Canada!
