2 Exams Left

I am finally done my papers for this semester!! Now I just have two more exams and I will be in full mode to study for it in the upcoming days.. meanwhile juggling work…

Yesterday I purchased myself the biggest gift ever. A Sony Vaio CR series in white. I love the whiteness.

I know I always say that Chinese food isn’t my favorite out of all the other food.. but because I haven’t had dim sum for soo long, I was craving it for the past 2 days. I finally had it this afternoon and it was delicious! I guess I will miss Chinese food when I’m gone

And more food

I am still alive, still in one piece. Thank God. After days of endless writing. I have one more paper left before the semester ends and two exams. I am anticipating everything after that

Recently I’ve been eating way too many Tim Horton’s. Enough said.

Over the past weekend, I had a very nice buffet dinner at a country club with my colleagues. Good food, good evening <3 My favorite was the chicken and the creme brulee <3

This afternoon, I made myself an awesome bagel sandwich inspired by the McD’s breakfast bagel. For mine, I had a toasted cheese bagel. Inside, I had sliced romania(?) lettuce and yellow pepper (which is actually for my salad), 2 slices of bacon, egg and bacon ranch dressing. I tried making the bacon crispy by deep frying it (just added more oil than usual!) and then put it in the oven. It worked.. and yeah, it was delicious

Lately, I’ve also been interested in non & alcoholic cocktails. Virgin caesar is good and I have tried the alcoholic caesar.. but I used rum and afterwards, I found out most recipe uses vodka. The last time I drank vodka was quite awhile ago so I can’t remember exactly the smell or taste but I don’t recall smelling this ’strange’ aroma before drinking.. which the caesar seemed to have after adding rum. Hmm. I guess next time, I’ll test it out with vodka and compare.. because I can’t really stand that aroma :S I also plan on making a pina colada cocktail.

Time is flying.

Time is really flying. The past week has been so busy that I honestly feel like a robot and a zombie. The ratio of work to sleep is like 3:1. Haha. But I’m still alive, still hanging in there. Despite the busy schedule, I’m very thankful for many things in life. It truly took “a lot of prayers to get me through” (Backstreet Boys – The Perfect Fan).

Today I almost missed the deadline for a small assignment for one of my course… and luckily, I didn’t miss it and even finished it on time. Thank God. Even though it’s not a lot of marks, but every effort helps.

Since my last post(s), I’ve been researching a lot on the laptops… and I have to say that I no longer have the Vaio NR series in mind. Instead, the CR series is what I’m looking into. Like I mentioned before, if I wasn’t going anywhere, NR series is quite appealing – in terms of price and style. With that price, part of me is so tempted to purchase it just for the heck of it. Talk about shopping impulse hehe.

I also want a Samsung widescreen LCD!!

Recently ate food: Tim Horton’s chocolate brownie iced cappuccino, caramel chocolate pecan cookie, California rolls, fish cutlet with poppy seed cream salad.

Update

Life has been keeping me busy! It’s always about work or uni, and when I do get the extra time, I’m meditating (not really haha). But simply spending time to find myself again such as through sleeping, eating, watching TV or shopping.

The other day I went shopping and I got 2 short sleeve tops, a pair of flip flops, a poofy heart necklace and a pair of shorts.

Summer is finally here and I am not complaining too much since… I’m frequently inside air con.

I’ve been eating way too much Taco Time’s mexi fries deluxe lately.. but it’s soo good. I’ve also been spending a huge portion of my money at Starbucks or Second Cup. I’ve drank about 3 cups of blended lemonade with green tea (Starbucks), 2 cups of strawberry lemonade (Second Cup) and 1 cup of strawberry & creme. I highly recommend the first 2

I’ve got 2 papers due by the end of this week! And right now, I’m spending Canada’s Day, the only free day I’ve gotten in the past few days, to catch up on my coursework!!

Since then…

Since then, I’ve been quite busy… with paper work to complete before my departure, shifts at work and uni course work.

The weekend was productive because me and my partner finally got the ball rolling. We successfully completed the draft of our questions for our upcoming seminar (which we will lead).

My latest loove: Tim Hortons soup with roll, food court’s sushi, green tea or coconut ice cream smoothie. Oh how I miss talking about food and oh how much I love food.

Happy Father’s Day! I got my Dad a vertical stripe short sleeve shirt

Tomorrow: private sale and midterm.

Good News

Good news, good news!! From now until then, I guess I will be very busy preparing for everything. In the meantime, I’ll also try my best and work hard in my courses!

Through it all, I’m very Thankful.. for HIM and his blessings <3

1. Thank you to the professors who helped me out with the reference letters! Without their help, I would not have submitted my applications successfully!
2. Thank you for those who inspired me and ensured that it’ll be a good experience and that it’s really worth trying! (I hope so hehe. Well I’m prepared for good and bad but I know through it all, I’ll be able to look back and realized it’s an experience I would never forget)
3. Thank you to those who’s been encouraging me … constantly telling me not to worry. And for supporting me. It really means a lot to me <3
4. And those who’s been not too supportive, Thanks too? Haha. Because at least I know I’m still existent? <3 But I’ve got to do what I need to do to continue to grow and to learn as an individual.. and to continue to move along in this journey of life.

Do You Know

“I’m standing on the edge and I don’t know what else to give.”
Do You Know - Enrique Iglesias

Today’s To Do List: work, essay, study for midterm.

Lesson

Lesson I learned today about work ethics: age is nothing but a number. It’s the experience that you possess that will allow others to respect you.

Mood of the day: super stressed.

Music Therapy

At the moment, I’m chasing a deadline for a short essay that’s due tonight but I wanted to take a bit of time to blog… about my latest music addiction!

So I’ve always been a Big Bang fan since their single, “We Belong Together”. Well I wasn’t a big fan but I always thought they were quite talented and um.. good looking. Haha. But I wasn’t like crazy about them or anything since they are all younger than me. It feels a bit strange but yeah, their music is really catchy. I love it. And recently, Tae Yang - one of the members, released a solo album… and I’ve been quite addicted since then.

I’ve also been listening to Leona Lewis non stop. I didn’t know she came from X-Factor until I searched her clips via Youtube yesterday. I love her album, Spirit! And I find her songs really inspirational especially “Better in Time”, “Here I Am” and “Footprints in the Sand”.

Through It All…

Today for lunch, I had Japanese ramen and honey green tea. I like the ramen’s soup base but otherwise, it was just okay and not particularly special. I must say it was quite expensive too for a bowl of noodle soup.

In the afternoon, I dropped by the mall. I finally found a pair of inexpensive charcoal leggings! It’s so hard to find because I refuse to spend a lot and I dislike the spandex type. I really like the pair I got.. however, I’m unsure what to wear with it? I also got a jewelry holder from Claire’s. I love it and I am so glad I got it!

Earlier, I checked if my grades are out yet and 2/3 of them are!! So far so good <3 I’m very satisfied and happy because I worked so hard. Part of me is really proud of myself that I feel rather emotional at the moment. Before the semester started, I always wonder if I’ll make it. During the semester when I realized there are days when I have two deadlines to meet, I was worried if I’ll make it but I worked hard. I never gave up and always continued to have a positive mindset, and I made it through <3 Now I just have to continue to work hard next semester because future life changing events will also depend highly on those marks. I will do everything I can to try to make it!
