27 Questions (Now And Then)

I remixed a Friendster cut/paste post. You probably know how it's done. I did this back on the 29th of May. Let's compare what I thought back then to now. Current thoughts are within [ ].

1. I am: a good boy.
   [I still am. I'm not sleeping around]
   
   
2. My ex was: that girl.
   [Now no la]
   
   
3. Maybe I should: get a job, earn money and make myself known for a little while.
   [TOO LATE FOR THAT]
   
   
4. I love: nu-lounge music, and nu-lounge lovers.
   [Well I guess I'm still into it, but as always I've been into almost everything]
   
   
5. I don't understand: why gays make that choice.
   [I know there's this whole pot of debate boiling over. I don't care. Whatever. Just don't touch me please. I ADMIT I HAVE SLIGHT HOMOPHOBIA]
   
   
6. I lost my: pants.
   [Yes. One pair of them. Well not exactly lost. Gave it was more like it]
   
   
7. My girlfriends/boyfriends are: very close to me. I miss them all.
   [Still remains. I wonder how they feel about me being the one they lost to distance]
   
   
8. People say I: am talented and have potential.
   [I don't know if I still have the talent and the potential. The icy grip here in Canada is stiffening my fingers!]
   
   
9. Love is: something hookers can't ever have.
   [That's why all pornstars remain single FOREVER]
   
   
10. Somewhere, someone is: listening to nu-lounge music. I hope that someone's a girl.
    [Well...not such a big deal now. Right now somewhere someone is probably making me a cake]
    
    
11. I will always: remember 7ths.
    [Always]
    
    
12. Forever is beyond the understanding of anyone.
    [Okay I think this was a bit of a crappy line to state]
    
    
13. I never want to: get backstabbed by someone I trust.
    [So far it hasn't happened yet. Or maybe it's happening and I don't know about it. But if you are, don't worry. I'll forgive you pretty easy. Forgetting is a service I don't really offer]
    
    
14. I think the current President: needs to do many things about America.
    [Still think so too]
    
    
15. When I woke up in the morning: I was so happy it was Sunday.
    [I enjoy my Sundays here at the new church I'm going to. Vineyard SJ!]
    
    
16. Life is full of: rotten eggs and chocolates.
    [Example: Pimples!]
    
    
17. My past is: a story I would like to share with you, if you like.
    [I still think it's rather interesting. I've always enjoyed reminiscing about Season 1, Season 2 and The New One]
    
    
18. I get annoyed: when I play a minor instead of a major seventh.
    [Still happens. And when it does the whole groove gets discombobulated]
    
    
19. Parties are for: people to come together and have a good time.
    [Now that I'm here in Canada; parties are for people to come together and have a good time WITH THE OMNIPRESENT FLOW OF ALCOHOL]
    
    
20. I wish: I had a camera right now.
    [Now I've got one (thanks to Mom and Dad) and I'm trigger happy again. FLICKR!]
    
    
21. My pet is: dead. Someone poisoned it. I think it was one of the neighbours.
    [Now I live with a cat called Sasha]
    
    
22. Kisses are the worst when: garlic was had for breakfast. Not that I know anything about it.
    [I still don't know anything about snogging someone who's had garlic for breakfast, although I predict it would be...quite HORRIBLE]
    
    
23. Today: is going to be brilliant as I'm going to watch X3 again.
    [I'm not watching X3 today]
    
    
24. Tommorrow I'm going to: keep thinking about how to keep my friends alive in my mind.
    [Concentrating less on this right now. But tomorrow I'm going to try to fight off sleepiness as I go through 5 straight hours of class. They'll always be somewhere in my head]
    
    
25. I really want: to find someone to talk to.
    [Still want to do so. Get's lonely talking to Sasha and the other cat, George]
    
    
26. I have low tolerance for people who: think pro-choice. But I don't judge them.
    [What on earth does that mean? It must've been 3AM when I typed that!]
    
    
27. If I had a million dollars: I'd buy Conan his guitar set, Alison her anime DVD set, Kevin his CanonEOS camera, Jason his Strongbad DVD set..... it'd go on.
    [A million dollars eh? Probably just go on a large shopping spree, fill my family's needs, and my friends' ones...right after I buy what I want]

So there you have it. A blogpost 4 months in the making.

Tomorrow I'm going salsa dancing at the uni.

Late September

It is late September and it's getting cold
We're putting on our winter clothes and winter smiles

It's officially autumn now. Leaves turning orange before detaching from their hosts and gracefully dancing in the air, where ever the wind takes them, lightly touching ground, and getting rolled over by a bus, along with the other thousands of leaves that met their seasonal fate.

It was 5 degrees yesterday morning. FIVE. Getting to school was a challenge. When it hits winter, and the average temperature steeps to -20, waking up will be the ULTIMATE challenge.

I have a wedding gig next month.

And, as always, pictures.
And yes that LCD screen 'floats'.

And last but not least...



goodnight.
goodnight.
goodnight.

Count Up!

Today is one week since I started uni.

1. Condoms sold in toilet. (But you already knew that)
2. 3D structure modelling assignments for my engineering class.
3. 5 straight days (Monday - Friday) eating lunch alone.
4. There's so many Chinese kids from Mainland China, I thought I never actually left Brunei.
5. Pimples are slowly dying away.
6. Putting cold roll-on deodorant in the morning + me being ticklish = 5 seconds of sheer terror.
7. Huuuuge vinyl record collection in the uni library.
8. No vinyl record player at home though.
9. Old vinyl record players available at pawnshops for $5.
10. I'll probably a vinly record player.
11. Internet speed = Glorious.
12. 50" TV at my place = Not working (yet)
13. Internet TV = Glorious.
14. Leaving a message for Jonan on voicemail through calling card = not as expensive as I thought.
15. The leaves are turning orange.
16. Weather is great. Hint: AUTUMN.
    
17. I'm watching a ice hockey game tonight. REAL ICE. REAL HOCKEY. Not that ice (read: wax) skating at the Mall.
18. I have 6 assignments due next week (I think).
19. I am living in your yesterday (Time zone joke).
20. The weather isn't very hot. Neither are the girls.
21. But I'm just being a good boy (HAHA Teo)
22. And if you didn't get that....

Don't fear. It's not scary at all.

Fall

And so today began my first day of UNIVERSITY classes. Say it with me! U-NI-VER-SITY!

A few bad things:

• I'm 17 years old, but I look 21.
• Two of my friends are 24, and look 17.
• The uni sells condoms in the toilets. (This isn't a bad thing. It's just that I'm shocked. It won't be bad for those who need it.)
  
• I'm getting 48 hours of work a week.
• Winter stacks up at least 3 feet of snow.
• My parents are leaving in a few hours. 6AM Friday morning to be exact.
  
• Steve Irwin's death is actually caught on tape.
• I GAINED 5 KILOS!
• I can't speak French yet! And I don't have time to take elective subjects.
  

Good things:

• I'm getting taller.
• And will continue to get taller.
• This person is a woman.
• I GAINED 5 KILOS!
• I can experience what is known as 'The Long Weekend'. Something experienced by all students who don't have to go to school on Saturday and Sunday.
• I was chatting to sOmEoNe WhO StILL wAs TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. Very amusing.
  
• It's almost autumn time and everything is going to turn....ORANGE.
• I bought Outkast's 'Idlewild'. It's worth the money if you want to hear jive and jazz mashed up with hip-hop and rap.
  

And catch this CHMS page while it's still hot and still there. And laugh maybe. And be thankful no one has trashed your school on Wikipedia. Or maybe you're going to do it yourself? Don't say I gave you any ideas.

On my 5 Kilo Gain:
Maybe I need to adjust the weighing scale. Or maybe my vision is failing me. Or..maybe, I'm just downright getting fat. Maybe I just need to gain a little. I've been a skinny stick since Primary One anyway. And being a stick with glasses? Not something I'd want to grow my children into.
