HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Hi!!

I have not updated for a while..
I got into my studying mode and focused, well tried super hard to focus on my finals. and MEH. let's not talk about that.

I'm so excited 2010 is here. NEW BEGINNING everyone loves that.

I'm liking the fact that my new term will begin and I'll have a whole new chance on boosting up my GPA. really wanna get into Optometry, and I need to start shadowing too.

I went to Las Vegas from Dec 21-Dec 25.. and it was awesome. Will make a post on that soon.

AND THEN when I came back me and Doris went mad shopping and I bought a snowboard that I've been eyeing since a month or more ago but they didn't have the length that I needed. BUTTTT when Tony, Doris and I went to another location they had it!! So now I have a snowboard. HEHEHEHEHHEHE. <3

I went snowboarding on the monday (Dec 28) and THANK YOU HUNG, NATY and ANTHONY!! I know how to get up from my snowboard when I fall now, and move.. properly.. I'm still learning but I'm loving it. Going to Jasper with Amanda and her friends January 22-24 to snowboard.

(my snowboard design upclose, my snowboard.. and my snowboard.) :D

Finally, one of my life goals achieved. HEE HEE.

anyways, I'm gonna keep this short. Doris and I are going to work at Shaw Conference tonight, there's a NYE party and we get to make money. =D

Happy New Years and stay healthy!! <3

I wanted to cook two eggs so I could put it into my salad. Tried the 'smart' way. Put a tissue into the rice cooker, added 2 drops of water into it and cooked the eggs. Turned out that it wasn't cooked yet. So I put the eggs into my microwave for 2 minutes. It exploded after 20 seconds. FML.

OH YEAH!!!! THE DENTIST ASKED IF I WANTED BRACES!! HELL YEAH!!!!! hahahaha, going to go for my consultation eventually. Hopefully I get to wear it for 2 years.. and HOPEFULLY it won't be expensive. Very expensive accesory you knowwww.. Then I sent my bicycle to City Centre... hoping to get it tuned up, but the tech didn't finish it on time. Went to watch Sam get her haircut... then went for bubble tea... then went to do some glasses shopping... then went Cycling... from her house to my house. HAHAHAHHA. Then we went to Domino's Pizza for pizza.. brought it over to Kevin's place. IT WAS a gooood night. =)

August 22 - Friday
GOT MY GRADES!!!! I EMAILED my professor to ask him for my results. I ACED IT!! AHa AHa. I like it~~~ I got a friggin A!!! *celebration*

Work like usual. had a VERY VERY VERY good breakfast: 3 eggs, 4 toasts, baked beans and ketchup. HAHAHHA. then I had nothing else the rest of the day. Worked in the lab, it was crazy busy.. so I was sooo focused on working that it was almost time to go home by the time I was tired. well I was tired all day. I got a bloody nose at work because the lab was too heated. Too hot for a nose like mine. Went home, met up with Britt, saw her new room. lots of gerbs. crazzzzy. went on a car ride all the way to south edmonton common thinking that wal-mart was 24/7 but apparently it wasnt. Got lost.. had no idea where we were going. I had a nuggets meal from McD that night.. around midnight. It was awesome. Drove around the city then went home to sleeeep. Got a manicure done and I painted my nails pink. It's ad-or-a-ble.

notes:
I have crazy memory. I remember what I did. CRAZIER thing is, I remember my clients. This guy came in.. and I was like.. he was the guy that went to Europe for 6 months. hah! stuuupid girl. Why do I remember things like that.

(unfortunately not with my camera) met Claudia and Alex and Cindy and the husband after sooo long, good times good times. Then I went to Suede Lounge for Larissa's 23rd birthday (sobs. no pictures). Home. My hair looks crazy. hahahahah.

notes:
I hate having cash. I end up spending it all. :(

New New Bicycle.

So I was mentioning that I had exchanged my bicycle. I got a baby pink helmet too BTW, and I got a gel seat for this bike.. so my ass doesn't hurt as much. HAHAHA. I love it so far, rode it all the way to U of A, to work, and went for a 2 hours bike ride with Leanne. That was pretty insane. =)

My bike from 2 different angles.. Don't you think the baby blue is pretty???

I finished my summer term already. DAMN. 800 dollar course just like that. I only used my textbook 3 times, less than an hour each time, and it costed me 90 dollars. *sobs* I'm gonna sell it. Someone better buy it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~
ps: I rocked my finals. I'm preeeeeetty sure I did super good. HAHAHA, better get a friggin A++++ this time rather than that big F the last time. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyways, gonna try to work hard core for the remaining two weeks, make some decent money hopefully so I can continue to pay off my credit card and tuition. AH life of a student. How pathetic.

My Lab Days <3

This week was super exciting for me, as I got to start working in the lab. I'm still doing the retail part, the eyewear consulting.. but I am also a Lab Technician now. WEEEHEHE!!! I'm sooooo pro~

Day 1 in the Lab:
Haley taught me how to set lenses at the right inset, up/down... how to differentiate lens, how to plot its axis, how to protect the lens, and how to WAX it. yupp. you wax lenses. AWESOMEEEE! Then I learnt how to clean the polisher. oooo so much to learn. I already knew how to clean chucks and laps, so I did that. =) It's so different being in the lab.

Day 2 in the Lab:
Learnt some very very interesting things about progressives, how we induce prism in them. How thats done to make it cosmetically more attractive. I also learnt on how base curves run. AWESOME. (Ed taught me that)

Day 3 in the Lab:
LOVE IT. I surfaced two sets of progressives today. Had some help with the generator (Haley) and that was it!! I ROCK!!!! LOL
( I got a raise! hehehehe~)

Canada's Day

It was Canada's Day yesterday.. and for the first time in three celebrations I didn't have to work at all. I slept in... went to West Edmonton Mall with Brittany hoping to see her cousin in action in ice hockey.

(kids playing hockey)

Unfortunately we missed it, but we did do some shopping at Urban Planet (there was a buy one get one for a dollar sale!!!) went for lunch at the foodcourt and we took a photobooth picture at fantasyland.

(britt and I at fantasyland)

(Britt and I. our little sketch portrait)

Then we went to the legislature for the rest of the afternoon. Hung out with her friends (funny people) Ryan, Brian, Jessi, Glen, Calvin... and Doris and Kevin came too =)

(weird how my little room could fit so many people)

(one of the funny pictures we took)

They played frisbee... I sucked so I just sat there and enjoyed the sun. Then we saw the most amazing fireworks. THEY WERE HUGEEEEEE.

(kevin)

(doris)

Happy Canada's Day.


(I need to get all of my school stuff done by this month or else I'm dead.)

my girlie day

today was kinda random.. because we didn't really plan this, i met Amanda at work and I told her that we needed to hang out so she told me to go shopping with her so she could get all her Australia prep done. Leanne texted me for movie and dinner so we combined it together and BAM! girls day out =)

Got a whole bunch of stuff for Amanda, her purse, luggage, bikinis, board shorts and poor Leanne was waiting for us at WEM while we were still at Kingsway. She bought lots tooo. LOL.

Gave them their little gifts that I got from Malaysia..
anyways I'm gonna post up pictures that we took. Super hilarious. Tried facebook but UNFORTUNATELY it wouldn't upload.

spot the difference? amanda can drive without her car keys. HAHAHAHHAHA

amanda with her new luggage to Australia. LOL. her High School Musical bag. LOL

We had dinner at Elephant & Castle... before watching our movie. 'The Hangover' is awesome. Definately recommend that. LOL

Then we headed back to my apartment, and took some pretty re-tarded pictures. LOL. Awesome day I sum it.
(Posing in my hallway... kinda...weird. My neighbour saw us. LOL)

And of course. The TRIOS.



on the other note:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!!!!!


ps: Amanda lost her phone today, and we found it at Kingsway, at the Mall Security. (talk about random) Leanne bought Vietnamese springrolls and sweet potato fries from the Works (yum to both) Amanda is reading TWILIGHT!!! wooohooo!!!!
