Epic monologue~

During class today, due to a lack of interest, I decided to finally write that epic monologue I've always wanted to. A monologue I would recite in the face of danger. A statement made to all evil do'ers. Basically something I would randomly spew out to someone I disliked to let them know they were the antagonist of the story that is life. Although traditionally, an antagonist is an evil villain, the actual definition states that the antagonist is just someone that opposes the protagonist or the hero. In some sense, the go hand in hand like ying and yang. So here it is, my epic monologue:

Halt demon of the underworld. I have come to put an end to your cruel sick disgusting ways. You will no longer terrorize these city streets. For long enough have you suppressed goodwill and justice. Now, with this sword of righteousness, I shall slay the devil's syndicate in hope that the stars may peacefully realign. I will not allow the universe to be thrown into chaos any longer if my name isn't James Edward the Third of the Shang Dynasty. I realized you could have escaped within the time frame of this speech but you choose to stay for you have realized your wrongs. Begone foul fiend! *slash slash slash*

Without clear understanding of what I could possibly use such absurd text for, I'll just use it to possibly scare one of my friends. Today's lesson is to use your time well, and even if you aren't learning you can still use it to do something else worth while.

School... a weight loss program?~

Today was an interesting day. ACI being one of the oldest schools around, conveniently does not have air conditioning. I had wore a plain black shirt and a zip up hoodie to school today. I did not like my shirt so I refused to take it off. With that said, I probably lost close to five pounds today sweating in all my classes. An individual actually said to me "It occurs to me that you are hot." I laughed and replied "Why yes I do look stunning today." He giggled and explained "I meant you seem to be at a higher body temperature level than usual." I agree. "It also occurs to me that your problem would be solved if you removed your sweater." I further explain "Yes but I don't want to, because I don't like my shirt..." With the unfortunate amounts of luck I had today, there was even a planned fire drill during my spare forcing me to cease my game of Crazy 8's and leave the cafeteria.

During my lunch period, I told the story of the deadly snake kung fu move. Over the weekend I had visited No Frills. While I was there I bumped into an old acquaintance in the vegetable section, which was relatively empty. He had said "Wanna see something I learned?" Naturally I allowed him to demonstrate. He stood in a snake like kung fu stance and screamed "Hiyah!" I gave him an look and asked "And what's that supposed to do?" So he voluntarily showed me by jabbing me in the throat. I was on the floor for a good five minutes as many people walked by asking if I was having a seizure. The entire day I spent comparing lame jokes with each other. I have actually compiled a list:

1. Why is the bride never happy at her wedding?.... because shes not marrying the best man!
2. What's worst than eating a piece of poo?.... eating two pieces of poo!
3. Why didn't the pirate go watch the movie?... because it was rated argh!
4. What did the monkey say to the space aliens?... "geiw geiwy geiw!" (Chinese pronunciation of banana)
5. If you keep eating you'll have more chins than a Chinese phonebook xP

These may seem lame but they sure do cheer me up when I'm feeling down, that is other than FailBlog. Boyee also put a rubber band around her arm while eating her lunch. I pulled it back and let it snap. It created a very faint 1/2 circle red mark across her arm. She was furious until I said "If it was anyone else you'd be laughing too." At that instant she began to laugh. Anything else that happened today happened in a blur. I wasn't much aware of my surroundings as I was faint-ish all day due to the heat. I walked around the halls staring straight at the ceiling for the most part. This was because I usually stared at the floor while I walked to not arouse suspicion for possible creeper alert. However, today seemed to be come special "let's all wear skirts and shorts day." Therefore I was too afraid to look down. Instead I aimlessly stared up the entire day with some exceptions of bumping into people below 5.1'.

After school I waited at the snack shack ordering food for several people. One of which was SLo since she did not have a lunch. As I waited in line a tenner called Lampson stepped in line as well. He begged me to buy him food but I refused. He then called me lame and I stated that he had been cut from both tennis and badminton, while I was one of the better players for both. He then told me to "Go play some real sports!" With that said I questioned his authority by asking "And what sports are you in?" Silence fell upon the conversation than you could imagine. With that said I giggled and proceeded to purchase my goods. As I entered I noticed someone with the exact name as me registered under helpers for the following day. Either there was someone else with the exact same first and last name as me I did not know about or I was drunk and signed up for something I had not recalled. I have decided that tomorrow at lunch, I will buy milk from them just to find out who this man is.

I also had tennis today and I expected to be terrible since I had not played since what seemed like the beginning of time. However, I was actually better than most of the people there other than an individual I had never been able to beat. I left early and arrived back at school to talk with some of my friends and went to the food court with Sherie for her dinner. Afterwords, I went home and my day had ended there. What I did have in mind after words was that my dad showed a stunning resemblance to the evil villain from the o' so famous cartoon the Power Puff Girls. That is right, my dad is secretly Mojo Jojo, my favourite monkey related character. His tone of voice and his way of speech matches perfectly with this character. The lesson I have learned today is to never doubt your own abilities, even if there will always be people better than you, there will definitely also be people that are worst than you.

Fruits of terror and buns of fear~

Ever since the No Frills on McCowan closed due to heavy competition from the Loblaws Super Store, the closest No Frills has been the one up the street at Agincourt Mall. My parents usually choose one of the two places to attend to for their consumer needs. I decided to tag along as our kitchen shelves were barren and emptier than a cookie jar at fat camp. Unfortunately they chose to go to the No Frills at Agincourt Mall. It was this day that I had realized how much I hated this very specific location in this large franchise.


As I got out of the car I walked up to the side of the store to obtain a shopping cart. I put my quarter in the slot but the cart was jammed. It was then that the No Frills employee standing beside the carts decided to put down his newspaper and whisper "Those carts don't work you'll have to use the ones out there (meaning the parking lot from which I came from)." As I was walking around the inside of the store, it took me precisely five minutes to get from the door to the end of the first aisle. No I did not dilly dally, it was just an unfortunate case of moronic-itis. All the individuals standing in front of me decided to stand in the middle of all the aisles why I stuck very close to the sides of the walls. They took their sweet time walking as they browsed through the aisle debating whether or not to buy Fruitloops. It wasn't just one individual who seemed to get on my nerve it was the whole store. The aisle were all about a meter and a quarter wide. This was large enough for one cart and one person walking side by side. If two carts met an epic showdown would occur where one would have to back out of the aisle.

Tons of individuals chose not to move out of the middle of the aisle even as I waited patiently for them to step aside as I lightly reminded them that I had a life as well. Eventually I changed from politely saying "Excuse me" to screaming "MY CART SEEMS TO NEED SOME SPACE IN ORDER TO GET FROM THIS END TO THAT END FOR I HAVE NOT PERFECTED TELEPORTATION YET." Well at least that is what I wanted to say xP. I grew impatient as many individuals cut me off while I was walking like I did not exist. Eventually I obtained all the Kraft Dinner and cookies I wanted. Waiting in line at the cashier a kid behind me screamed "Mom! Did you know that Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked so hard once that his foot flew back in time and sank the Titanic?!" His father gently replied "Hush or I'll tell Chuck Norris to come here and roundhouse kick you in the face." Without fear the child replied "I get to meet Chuck Norris?!" Leaving the store I felt very accomplished, for I had shopped at one of the most irritating places on earth and survived. I couldn't even find the oatmeal. The lesson I learned today is that patients is a virtue and a true skill, and not being roundhouse kicked in the face by Chuck Norris is a gift.

This is how we overcome~

On this day, I had fallen into despair. I had deeply missed Emmy since I had not seen her for a week, and it seemed as if my life had been going nowhere. The day before was career day and I had volunteered the entire day escorting guest speakers. It was then that I had realized just how clueless I was about what I wanted. All of them had either chosen their paths already or had a career they took pride in. My life was basically at a standstill. I felt like sulking at home doing nothing when SLo had suggested that the only way to shake off the feeling of not wanting to go out, was to actually go out and have a good time.


So I decided to attend her fellowships' Malachi Bubble Tea Night. It's traditionally "coffee house" where the worship team performs a couple of songs for the audience. However, Erica and her cuteness decided it would be better if they served bubble tea. Thus was the beginning of a long journey. They practised for a month and a half in total for this very special occasion. Their songs consisted of 24 - Switchfoot, Dare You To Move - Switchfoot, You Found Me - The Fray, This Is How We Overcome - Hillsong United, and some song by Paramore I had forgotten about. The music was awesome. There were a couple of parts where the mikes squeaked cause they were too close together, but they sounded nice. Some dude even had an electric violin, which is one of the coolest instruments ever. Apparently SLo had accidentally created an unplanned long pause during one of the songs as she stopped singing due to loss of lyrical memory. Unfortunately the three other vocalists also had forgotten the exact same section of the song. So she was forced to wait for an opportune moment to strike and reenter the piece.

I paid really close attention to their singing and even sang along. However, some of the other audience members were not as appreciative of their hard work and dedication as I was. Sherie and Erin were with me and were awesome audience members as well. The bubble tea tasted fine that night since mango bubble tea could never go wrong. However half of my drink went to Erin and SLo. SLo drank mine since hers tasted poorly, and Erin drank from mine even though we ordered the same drink because mine was colder. =.=" *irritation* Oh well it was still an awesome night. I had lots of fun talking to Salina, Erica, and Johny the drummer of the band. Surprisingly everyone from SLo's fellowship remembered who I was. That was unexpected since I had only shown up a couple of times. That night I ate three different types of cake making me a happy camper. All in all I was glad that SLo had urged me to go and listen to Anthony's "Micheal Jackson like solo" and some guys one hour speech about temptation. However Salina's acting was top notch even though the skit had a cliff hanger ending.


A few days ago I had also met one of SLo's friends from Jap class. her name was Elley. She's really nice and is apparently 100% pure Japanese. When I had first found out my exact words were "Cool! I've never met a real one before!" *goes for handshake* We met at Pacific Mall in a store full of vending machines that vended out cellphone trinkets. She was lucky enough to roll out all four Tales of the Abyss figurines in one try. It was then that I had realized she watched anime too. I never knew none geeky girls could be such anime addicts too. I was quite pleased to find someone I could share my interests with. She introduced me to this new anime called Soul Eater and I've been watching it ever since. The lesson of the day must've been to listen to your friends because no matter how often they're wrong, they're bound to be right about something.

She went that way~

After I had written my extremo hard calculus test, I proceeded the rest of my day with joy since there was much less stress. Nothing much had happened today. It was generally a very peaceful day, that is until after school. I had finished physics last period and headed for my locker. On my way to my locker I bumped into Luna and Ella. Luna was eating an apple, which sparked my interest. Ella lined up for chocolate milk and so did I. My goal for the day was to buy some sort of random assortment of food and then obtain a free complimentary apple. As I approached the counter I ordered a chocolate milk and bagel with a side of cream cheese and jam. With Ella waiting for me I rushed to obtain my straw and spreading utensil. As we left I felt somewhat empty on the inside. I had forgotten to retrieve the apple... Till this second I have regretted such actions. Luna laughed at me. I was what they had called a "loser". This new feeling of despair led me to believe that maybe we don't all get our apples.

Later on as I was eating my bagel with a friend of mine S.Tsui. Dude A ran by screaming, "Has anyone seen Jane?" I pointed down the hall and he began to run. I turned towards my friend and question "Whose this Jane?" She was stunned and asked "You don't know her? How do you know where she is than?" Of course I replied truthfully. "I didn't, I justed pointed in a random direction." As Dude A came back panting it seems that Jane was in the other direction the entire time. S.Tsui is somewhat gullible though. She had ordered peanut butter with her bagel and I had told her I was allergic to peanuts. She gasped and apologized as I explained to her that I was only joking shortly after. I then told her I was 19 but she was not convinced. Lastly I tried to convince her I had turned my attention towards men as she quickly replied "You can't be gay, I see you all the time with a bunch of girls like a pimp!" This may not seem funny to those who do not know me. I am the furthest thing from a pimp possible...

As I arrived home out of the rain, I went straight to bed. To my surprised I was woken up by a rather surprising call. It was Emmy. Truthfully, I usually get upset when I'm woken up from my precious naps. However, even though I had been lacking sleep, waking up to the sound of her voice was the most wonderful thing in the world. I wanted to tell her but did not have the guts to. Today I learned that you should always get the apple.

Life is like a snapshot~

With a broken heart I woke up shattered and torn. I did not even bother fixing my hair for the day. I spent the morning with Ella but Emmy never called. I called Emmy during lunch to make sure she knew we were still ok. The day went by slowly as I watched the clouds shift every now and then. Class after class, I spent taking notes on subjects I had no interest for. At the end of the day I walked K.Tsang home telling her all about my mishaps the day before. As the clock struck 3:30, I called Emmy to see if she had arrived home safely. She told me once again to meet up with her at her place to keep her company. Emmy had a photography assignment but no one to accompany her. So I flew there with the speed of light and arrived at her home in 10 minutes. She took me around her neighbourhood and to her elementary school. We even went in and took a tour. Then we headed for the swings at the park. The time I had spent with her had gone by so quickly I barely had any memory of it all. All I remembered is that I smiled, I laughed, I was happy. Every waking moment in her presence makes my heart skip a beat. To be so in love with someone I may never have a chance with, is a cursed I've carried for a while. Through all of this, I have learnt that if there's anything that makes me happy, it's her...

Happy hour~

On Thursday April 16th, I had one of the best days of my life. Likewise, it quickly became one of the worst. The morning was pleasant. I had spent the duration of the morning communicating with Emmy about our plans after school. I was also at Ella's locker sharing stories. At lunch that day, I had one of the most heated arguments about HK stars ever. Initially the conversation was about Raymond Lam. A star from a drama I like called Moonlight Resonance. The topic at hand was about TVB male actors. I had given my opinions such as, Ron Ng and Kenneth were losers, Sammul, Bosco, and Raymond Lam were awesome. The fact is, that Rong Ng is a horrible actor. He shows no facial expression whatsoever when acting, but is able to land roles because his face is not grotesque. Kenneth being one of the S4 with Sammul, Bosco and Ron, which were all big names, Kenneth remains to be unnoticed by the acting community. He has landed himself several big roles, but those dramas have not been very successful. Kenneth is also visually challenged. Everyone was able to agree that Bosco was awesome, but the guys seemed to have disagreed about Sammul. Sammul, one of the best looking guys in HK, was apparently not manly enough by their standards as they declared him a "wuss". Although I believe Sammul is the only actor in TVB that looked good in pink, the other guys seemed to have been jealous of his success.

Lastly, most of our conversation was based on the debate of Raymond Lam's age. We all agreed that he was awesome but I had put on the table that he was around 30. None of them had any clue of this fact. Raymond Lam is actually 29 but they had thought he was like 25. We agreed long and hard. I then said, "Alright what age is Bosco?" They replied 28, which is his real age. I then said "And Raymond Lam is older than Bosco right?" They yet again replied with a nod. "So then isn't Raymond Lam around 30?" They shook their heads with disagreement. We then moved along to debate whether TVB had any "lang luys" whatsoever. In the series Moonlight Resonance, Linda Cheung and "Ka May" were the worst casted characters of all. Ka May being extremely visually challenged, and could not speak proper Chinese, and Linda Cheung overall a visually challenged acting impaired individual. I am still stunned at the fact that she has put out a solo record lacking the ability to sing.

Later that day, I left during my last period spare to take a 45 minute walk to Campbell. I had plans to meet up with Emmy. When I had arrived, I bumped into a couple of old friends. Emmy and I walked around her school for a couple of minutes before we left for the mall. I met a couple of her friends and we took off. At the mall STC, we shopped a while and exchanged stories. After a while, we grew weary and took a seat with a couple of Ice Caps. That day we were followed by several groups of friends of mine from my school in attempts to try to unmask the girl I was with. They unfortunately had no such luck. We took a picture or two and I got to speak with one of her friends Fion. The moment that had made my day was when I realized something spectacular. While fooling around, I had said "Look Emmy, your phone number is 9!" Emmy said, "No it isn't" So i dialed 9 and my speed dial did the work. She then looked at me with bundles of laughter and said "Oh your number is 7!" To my amazement I was on her speed dial. The girl I loved had a place in her heart for me. I just had to distinguish what role I played. Later that day we went home and I talked with her on MSN. I finally had to guts to ask her what I meant to her. This moment ruined what seemed like a months worth of joy. She had told me I was like a "long lost brother" to her. A barbeque stick at that moment had pierced right through my heart. I quickly replied with sarcasm so she would not see that I had been utterly destroyed "Oh! So now im LONG and LOST too =/ That is so mean!" She giggled and I never mentioned it afterwards as I was too saddened by such remarks to think of anything else. The lesson of the day is that even when you are hurting on the inside, keep it in for the sake of others.

Change of plans~

Today was a wonderful day. I studied the entire day for my biology last period, just to inevitably fail while staring at my page blankly with looks of despair. I had no one to talk to at lunch since all my friends had gone on a french trip. In the morning I had arrived at school a little too late. The french trip had already boarded the local transit system. It was then that I had remembered that a friend of ours was visiting after school. With the thought of A.Jin walking around alone, I called SLo to check when they would be returning. She did not pick up her phone. So then I called someone else on the bus. With the reply of "No she's on the other end of the bus, call someone close." I tried time and time again with replies such as, "Wrong bus", and "She just shifted and now shes out of arms reach." I had halted my search. In the end, they returned around three.

I had originally planned to bus to Campbell to meet up with Emmy since she was watching the Metros Badminton Tournament, but SLo had told me that A.Jin and a bunch of them were going to go to Pacific Mall. She also invited Emmy to go as well. However, plans changed and Emmy was stuck at Pacific Mall with V.Lai, while SLo and A.Jin were debating on where to go due to indecisiveness. I was extremely furious since I had looked forward to seeing her the whole day. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Emmy was pretty upset that I stood her up. With multiple explanations I was still not able to get the point across that I was deeply sorry. Emmy isn't mad anymore and we even had a two hour phone conversation that night. It was a fun day though.

As we waited for A.Jin's arrival, SLo, Sherie, Sanche and I played a bit of Big 2. Knowing SLo, we played with a bit of a twist. She had changed the names of all the combos and card combinations. Singles were ninjas, pairs were fishes, triples were threesomes, straights were jerks, and flushes were douches. SLo kept trying to win with a jerk douche, which would've been a straight flush. After a while of nonsense and a couple of burns, A.Jin arrived and we played the trust game. The trust game was when an individual closed their eyes and fell backwards with the trust of their partner catching them from behind. SLo had trust issues and while falling back, stumbled and whipped her arms around. During this act of randomness, she had managed to whack me in the face. We then decided to go to Food Jungle near our school. The moment we walked in they declared that the tapioca was clean out and we migrated to Oriental Center. There we ordered drinks and Emmy had called me on the phone.

While on the phone with Emmy I had several interruptions from A.Jin. He claimed that my presence with a phone compromised his enjoyment of his beverage. I therefore carried on to ignore him. It was his fault that I was unable to see Emmy so Emmy's last wish was for revenge. Then I carried out my master plan and slapped A.Jin across the face. He took my phone and blurted out signs of affection that I may have felt for her. I then pursued A.Jin with my shoe. Upon leaving SLo slapped me in the face as I burned her with a sickly smile. Quickly she apologized and claimed that she did not expect that to have happened. I quickly responded with "Your hand came flying at my face, what did you THINK would happen! Did you think your hand was going to go through my head or something?!" Justin later on was assaulted and kicked in the gonads by SLo. A.Jin took initiative and avenged Justin by kicking SLo in the pelvis. She whaled with agony screaming "OWW MY BALLS!" SLo was a female... As we finally exited, we locked SLo in a telephone booth like object and did not let her out. After she had finally escaped she walked in again to get her bag. We once again closed the door behind her. Eventually we got tired of laughing at her and we all went home. The lesson I had learned for the day is that promises should be kept, or else someone will get slapped.


*MOVIE SPOILER*
I had also watched Monsters Vs. Aliens that night. With B.O.B the funniest cutest blob ever, and Gallaxhar the funniest evil person ever, it was truly a great movie. At one point Gallaxhar screamed "WHAT THE FLAGNARD!" as Susan stormed in on his ship. At other times B.O.B was hitting on a jello, and trying to differentiate between boys and girls. "No thats a boy, look at his boobies!" He also attempted to fight off a giant robot. After being stepped on he held onto the robots foot. "I got him you guys! I'm wearing him down! I think he's slowed down now!" His last act of heroism is when he assisted in Susan's breakup with Derek. Susan thanked him for breaking up with Derek for her and he replied "You were going out with Derek too? That two timing butt!" These lines may not make sense as of the moment, but will appear hilarious to those that have watched the movie.

Empty smiles~

The day before I had scheduled a day of badminton with a couple of friends. First at my school from three o'clock to six o'clock. Then I'd bus to Ella's church to play from seven to ten. It was lots of fun but there was much running involved, which exhausted me completely. Lots of unexpected things happened and we all shared lots of laughs.

When I arrived at ACI at three, I unexpectedly bumped into Iris and John from R.H.King, K.Ng and T.Wong from ACI, and a bunch of Campbell kids plus a couple of ACI Alumni that I never would've imagined seeing. The people I was originally supposed to meet up with were SLo, A.Jin, and Emmy. That day I kept speaking canto to A.Jin through habit but he didn't understand a word I said because he was mando. At one point in time, A.Jin was arguing with Nicola about Ella's church name. Nicola pronounced it S.C.A.C but A.Jin pronounced it as the word "scac". Nicola's argument was that no one pronounces church names as a word but only the initials. A.Jin's argument was that it was faster to say scac and that words had vowels. At the time it was the silliest thing I had ever heard. I only played one real match that day with K.Ng against D.Dai and Jun. Surprisingly, we won even though K.Ng did a lot of the work. I had my moments though. Emmy and I both had secrets of our own that day. Even SLo wasn't completely that happy. We all had our reasons but no one really chooses to show it in public. It was that day that I realized that Emmy had no feelings towards me. Very subtly, I realized that there was no place for me in her heart. But I just kept smiling.

When it was time to leave, we all took the Midland bus to get to our destinations. Emmy, A.Jin, and SLo went out for dinner. I was invited but could not go because I had already made plans prior, that I had no intentions to break. Arriving at Ella's church I ended up playing my very first three set singles game against a York Region player called Frank. I unexpectedly won, but I wasn't really in the mood to jump for joy. Later I played with Ella and her brother. Later on I returned home all battered and soar and jumped straight to bed. The lesson I learned today is that, friends are more important than crushes. Crushes are temporary but friends are forever. So never break plans with friends for a crush.

The weather's been better~

And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

Boys Like Girls - Up Against the Wall Lyrics

On Monday and Tuesday, I had the opportunity to play at the TDSB Regionals Badminton Tournament. It was loads of fun. I lost somewhere near the end playing Mixed Doubles but that's ok. Good experience I guess. Still kinda sucks that I didn't make top four though. A lot of amazing things happened and I met a lot of really cool amazing people there. We all shared many laughs and many stories. K.Tsang was hit on several times. One of which a kid walked up to her asking "Would you like my number?" with an instant reply of "No thanks." This was Quickly followed by his friend asking the question "Would you like a sip of my ice cap?" also followed by a no. Clearly K.Tsang was the center of attention for the tournament.


One of the funniest things that I had ever heard of happened as well as this tournament that will not be forgotten anytime soon. So it's relatively normal when other people tell you that you resemble so and so. What really caught me off guard was when a guy by the name of Mike went around telling people he looked like Bosco. Yes it was a self promclaimed Bosco look alike. When we declined his statement he replied "At least look at the hair, the hair looks like Bosco." Yet again we rejected the statement and a certain individual stated that D.Dai looked more like Bosco than Mike. Yes in a room of 50 people Mike lost in a Bosco look alike contest. Although I must admit D.Dai is lang jai'er and Bosco'ier than Mike by far. When D.Dai went up to get his medal his school screamed "Woo Bosco!" and then proceeded to stare straight at Mike who replied with one of these --> =.=". Mike was from R.H.King and that school had the most arrogant people I had ever met. Ironically the only person from their school that actually made it into anything was Peter Nie, a modest quiet not very talkative individual. When he made top four for singles his school all cheered and screamed "We did it!" and Mike went and held his hand up high screaming "We did it!" Of course my initially reaction was "What do you mean 'we did it'. Him winning has nothing to do with you." But of course I was way too nice to say it out loud.

Another hilarious incident that took place was when a guy from Woburn I labeled Brown Machine (because he was a one man tank) played singles against Jarson. He had upset everyone by walking in a gigantic circle around the court whenever he had lost a point and constantly whipped his shoes. He stretched his games so long one set of their match was equivalent to most people finishing their games. We then joked around and said that we should play a drinking game. Every time he walks in a circle we'll take a drink. And by the end of the first set we should be drunk.

One of my friends from Campbell actually brought a gigantic panda bear there and the guys were playing with it until this white lady started spazzing out screaming "OMG NO PANDA! NO PANDA! PUT THE PANDA AWAY GRRR!" Oh wells it was still a cute panda. After those two days, I had actually started to fall in love with the owner of this panda. Emmy was a short, cute, blond hair, funny girl. We have much of the same interests such as music, shows, and food. The 20 hrs we spent together may not seem like a lot to most people, but when you have 4 hrs between games to do nothing, it sure seems like a while. Emmy got 3rd for singles and I'm really proud of her. She's an amazing person and smiles constantly. Seeing her smile just seems to brighten my day up. We've become good friends but it's a shame she likes someone else ironically at another two day tournament.

You made consider every move I make~
You made me question every step I take~
You made me look before I leap~
You made me dream without being asleep~
You made me fall in love again~
But all you made me was a friend~

On our way home two Campbell guys and Emmy rode with us on the bus because they did not have a school bus to ride. It was totally hilarious how the two Campbell guys Calvin and Ricky kept making fun of K.Tsang because she rejected both of them and T.Wong my team captain. They even annoyed Emmy enough for her to pull Calvin's hair till the point where he was screaming "AGINCOURT GOW MANG AHHH!!! AIYAHH!" It was the most interesting bus ride I had ever been on. The lesson I learned that day was that no matter how far you look, the person you're looking for might have been there all along.

Feeling of speechlessness~

These past few days have been a bit bland. I hurt my right wrist on Tuesday due to extensive badminton training, and then my right shoulder on Wednesday because I played five games in a row. Thursday however was a different story. Thursday was the fateful day for all grade tens because it was the OSSLT (Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test). Being in grade 12, I had the day to myself, or so I thought. I ended up going to school at 3 for a mandatory badminton practice. With a hurt wrist and shoulder I really wondered why I still showed up.

The morning started at 10 am nice and late. Followed by a Kraft Dinner lunch, which made me exceedingly happy since Kraft Dinner was one of my favorite DIY lunches. I finally finished the anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It was an amazing show that made me cry a couple of times because main characters were dying. The ending however was really well thought out and executed. I was happy with the ending that was provided at the end of the series. Arriving at school, I noticed that it was relatively empty. I proceeded to the gym and practice commenced. I played mix against one of my friends called Tavis. He trains and is a lot better than me. However I was magically able to win a game off of him without wrists or shoulders. That was truly a Disney moment, for without magic winning wouldn't have been possible.



My Friday however was a different story, which held no magic whatsoever. It began with getting to school at 7:15 in the morning. Thankfully Skye was able to give me a lift. We arrived just in time for our Ultimate Frisbee B Team tryouts. Lan, Skye and I all play Ultimate but Lan and Skye are veterans and are already guaranteed a spot. However I was a fresh face, and even though I was right for it, I may have been invisible to the teachers. We did three sets of suicides before me stretched and played games. Three at the time didn't seem like much, but because there were so many people trying out, we were all running at full speed hopefully to catch the eye of the teachers. Quickly I ran out of fuel and realized I was much more out of shape then I remembered. The games were fun however, and I doubt I made the team since the teachers did not know my name nor knew who I was, but it was fun playing games with friends. This being my senior year I had hoped to play a sport with all my friends such as Skye for one last fun memory. At least They will have fun. =/

Today I had a very decisive decision to make. It was a decision that would decide my future and change the rest of my life. It was about University. I had applied to several schools for nursing. However my parents no longer want me to go into nursing. Even my very supportive sister was against me going into nursing. She had told me that she felt as if I was meant for more. I was a leader not a follower. I was too competitive to have a job that did not over raises promotions or positions. I needed to go into business or at least something that had more of an impact on the world. Sadly, I agree with her. Nursing may not have been right for me but I had nothing else at this point. I wanted to help people and that was a fact. She suggested I stayed back a year and took various other courses so that I could see the rest of the "world". Maybe some art related courses or some business courses. The one thing I learned today is that decisions are never easy, but you must always be sure that you've made the right choice.
