Courses

Colin is leaving to NewFoundland on Sunday. This thursday, I met him for the very last time. It's quite amazing that we became really good friends from volunteering. What's more amazing is he is gonna be a doctor. He is going for Med School at Memorial at St John. Me and Miguel are both very happy for him because there are a lot of heartless doctors out there. And it's really nice to know that Colin, the future doctor, is not one of them. Go Dr Colin!!!

He told me a little about his program. He has to take anatomy, physiology and histology in the same semester. The only thing I could say is it's gonna be a lot of work. The fact that he did not take any of these courses in his undergrad doesn't help with the situation. All these courses are very interesting. I love them all, but putting them altogether in the same semester does NOT relate to the word FUN. BUT he's a smart guy, YOU can DO IT COLIN!!

Coming back to my program, I found out I need to take 7 courses. 5 of them are under the Faculty of Rehab Science, which means they are fixed. English and one General Education(GE) are the remaining 2 course. English doesn't sound like a choice, or does it? There are 18 courses to select from for GE. I have to select 10 courses from the list, rank them into different priorities, they are going to me into the first available one, upon my desire. Honestly, I really don't have much interest in those courses. Since I am a new student, it's very unlikely that I am granted the first choice. Here are the 18 courses.

• Space and Time: From Aristotle to Einstein (Conflict + boring)
• Emergcnce of Hong Kong Society (Absolutely no interest)
• Self, Service and Community (Interested but conflict)
• Appreciation of Cantonese Opera (Not appreciated of Chinese Opera)
• Technology and Society (Not interested)
• An Introduction to Literature in English (May be)
• Creativity and Creative Thinking (Conflict + not interested)
• Life and Death (Very interested but CONFLICT)
• Introduction to Logic (May be)
• World Issues and Human Responsibilities (Please don't...)
• Appreciation of Chinese Art and Design (Not appreciated)
• Introduction to Western Civilization (thank God it's conflict)
• The Four Great Classical Chinese Novels (the novels are very interesting but I haven't read of those)
• Wine Studies (May be but not sure if I'm gonna do well)
• China: Regions and Environment (not interested)
• Marketing and the Consumer (Interested but conflict)
• Facets of Human Relationship in Chinese Society (No Way)
• Creating Novels and Screenplay (Interested but conflict)

Does everybody feel the level of frustration here? So i am left with English Literature, Logic and Wine Studies. I have exactly 3 weeks to think about this.

Clubbing @ DNA

Haven't gone clubbing since April 2005. Being on the dance floor again after 1.25 years, I felt different from before. It did not give me a sad feeling anymore. FYI, this is probably the first time I had fun in a club.

This is actually a fundraising event for the Outtahand volleyball club. I guess Dave, our coach, was surprised to see me because I didn't say anything every time he talked about this event. I am probably the quietest person on the court. Quiet yet aggressive. And here I am, dancing my ass off.

A new teammates from Tigers came too. We talked about my future life in Hong Kong. She said I am so gonna change to a party girl. I may not be very active here, but I will change. Haha I don't know. My parents will kill me if I go party too often.

Today, I realized that I haven't heard any R&B music for a long long long time.

Grumpy

Yes, I still cannot get over with the fact that we're ninth overall and there isn't anything I can do to change this.

Now I know I am a very competitive person. Not only competitive, but also aggressive. Serious and scary. It came to a point that my teammate called me Grumpy all the time.

I mean I love the seven dwarfs, and grumpy is a great nickname. However, it's definitely not a compliment. But it's funny how I smile every single time when Am calls me Grumpy.

But then, sometimes, if you don't have this kind of aggression in your head, how're you going to put up your best game?

This is the reason why I am not going to change just because ppl call me Grumpy. I love Grumpy. And I love being Grumpy on the court.

Canada Day Tourny Day 2

Everyone was surprised to see me today since I decided to go to Montreal the night before. It wasn't too late that I found out how rude I was to abandon the team behind because I didn't get what I wanted. Coach would use me when we get to the important games, which is the playoffs. Unfortunately, there ain't no playoffs. We came 9th, the top team in the consolation bracket.

9TH!!!

I was like.... WHAT THE....???

My worst nightmare ever. Still can't over it by now....

Anne, please don't feel bad that you asked me to come, cos it's me who decided to come and no one would guess the outcome would be THAT ridiculous.

Anyways, I am kinda disappointed with the way it ended for my vball life in Toronto. But it implies that I am something to look forward to. There are vball teams in HK and I can play with my friends again.

It's my sister's birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!! I joined her gang for hotpot at night. It was nice, lots of food, very tired though, after getting toasted for the whole day.

Canada Day Tourny day 1

HAPPY CANADA day!!!

As usual, we had our Canada day tournament. With 18 girls on the team, it certainly didn't make our coaches' job any easier.

When you start to have a tendency to criticize, you're probably a little too proud of yourself. Although I am a little upset with my playing time in my very last tournament with the Tigers, there is no excuse for me to be too upset and walk away. All of a sudden, I found out I am such a selfish player with no sportsmanship. You can't just walk away from the team because you think your team doesn't need you anymore.

Pride and greed really do nothing good to you but help you to make stupid decisions which make you regret.

Don't worry, I will try my very best to fix this.
