i got accepted into the University of Chicago!

Haha haha haha!   Too happy to speak.

They sent me the biggest box of stuff in a UPS thing…I was so surprised since I didn’t order any books from amazon. But it was my admissions package!

Lalala no worries now.

my big box.

Orienteering

Check Kris Li’s hp for photos and a more funny account. haha. cracked up so badly.

http://members.fortunecity.com/sylvanllewelyn/homepage.htm

Yes…and about orienteering yesterday. Hehe. I mucked up…got DQed because I took 3 hours when the time limit was 2.5 mours. Got very bruised. PKed like 6 times while bushbashing. Spent 1.5 hours bushbashing on my own, falling off cliffs etc. It was pretty scary. Until I met these two other girls and we walked together. But bushbashing is not fun. Particularly when you find that at one point you were 10m from a check point but you didn’t realise and slipped and fell off the cliff and got totally lost and went bush bashing again…

*sigh if only i found that check point the first time round, 1 hour before I found it…then I would not have been disqualified. But anywayz, its ok, I had the feeling I wouldn’t do too well anyway. Last time I went round telling everyone I would win because I really felt I would…and I did. This time I didn’t tell that to anyone because I had the feeling that I wouldn’t. My instincts are pretty good.

Plus my pants were totally ruined. I made the mistake of wearing my favourite NIKE pants to it, not anticipating so much bush bashing. Well the pants were khaki, and when I finished it was brown poo coloured. All over. *yuck. Went home to try and save them. First time I used dettol. Nothing happened to them. So I used soap After the soap the pants were brown stripped. Then I used “pre wash” squirt. It was brown dotted. Then I used bleach. Now it was brown specked.

So I left it overnight in the bleach…and then it was ok. Gee I’m so proud of myself. Did my own washing…turned brown pants into khaki. Hahaha.

Hehe I’m just blabbering on. But yeh. My feelings.

The UE today was easy! Ran out of time for section E but had 45 minutes left for Section C. Writing tmr! So dead!

Cornell is so mucked up I swear. Look what I got in my email.

Missing records from your Cornell application 

Dear Kay:

Our selection committees are currently reviewing completed transfer

applications for admission to Cornell for Fall 2003.  We would like

to send your application to committee for review, but we are missing

important application materials.  To find out what is missing from

your application, you should log-in to your Online Application Status

Account.

Wtf! Number 1, I did not apply to Cornell as a transfer.

Number 2, my file is complete, the lady told me that herself in february. and my “online status account” saids its complete.

*Sigh. I’m so worried that the only two acceptances I get from U.S. are UCLA and UCSD, since I got rejected from Berkeley. I’m not sure if my parents will let me go to the US if I’m going to UCLA. Not that its a bad school, but canada is so much cheaper.

Cornell, Cornell, Cornell… *sigh. so inefficient. They already got me so worried in february when my letters of teacher recommendations were not received. (They received everything else, which Mr. Rowark mailed). Now this.

Apparently they sent emails to rejected Early Decision applicants welcoming them to the school and congradulating them because of a database error. It was on CNN. *sigh. so mucked up.

Aieya. So worried. I’m really hoping to get into Cornell and Chicago since the others are so way out of my league.

good lord..

it’s official

Tung Chi Wah just said no skool starting Saturday…hmm…dunno if that’s good or bad… heard that Emily and Matthew booked like 3 badminton courts… and probably no one is going to go if there is no school. And the rolling stones concert is cancelled – not that it is any relevance to me…

but hong kong is going to turn into a “dead” city. No more Hong Kong, City of Life.

I honestly think that this disease will get to a stage when everyone will get it. Sort of like the chicken pox – but they will develop a better cure so we don’t need steroids and such drugs that will damage our body.

Ah wellz. No more school next week, but I don’t escape from P6 tmr (which I’ve already managed to postpone from wednesday. keke.) ah well. that’s life. gtg revise!

btw…for those who were worrying, I’m ok now…just have a headache, but otherwise, fine! 🙂 TY for caring.

Hope the virus resolves soon. And the war in Iraq.

World PeAcE. ~ “Gosh…sounds so beauty pageant..”

~yes…and the song is by taiwanese fish leong…it’s called “i like” in mandarin and is the taiwanese themesong to “amelie”. Sweet.~

Yesssssssssssss!

haha. Now who said nicole probably won’t get the award? ~wanchai???

Hehe not bad – in the “predict the winners” game i got all of the acting prizes anre the best movie right.

Best movie – Chicago
Best Actor – Adrian Brody – The Pianist
Best Actress – Nicole Kidman – The Hours
Best Actor in a supporting role – Chris Copper – Adaptation
Actress in a supporting role – Catherine Zeta-Jones – Chicago

my instincts are pretty good.

What a dodgy picture:

Americans…too open…in my opinion. i mean…what if this adrian brody guy had HKSARS? He would give halle berry pneumonia. And everyone else he kisses.

haven’t updated for 4 days. Not bad not bad Only i haven’t done much revision either. P6 test on wednesday!

I have the biggest cold. Don’t ever remember getting this bad a cold b4. I’m literally on my 5th pack of tissues since 11:30 last night – during the night i wrapped 2 packs of wontons, this morning up to now i wrapped 2 packs and 1 sheet. Ok. I know this is not stuff you are interested in. but yeah. I have a bad bad cold. I can’t speak either cuz all the mucus is stuck in my thorat. Hmm. Not a good feeling. Luckily it wasn’t this bad yesterday otherwise i would have failed my UE completely.

on the other hand, thank god i have a runny nose because apparently people with atypical pneumonia don’t have runny noses. (hehe. was getting kind of worried since i had a slight fever yesterday, and a cough – symptoms of pneumonia!)

The UE? It was ok la. Mary and I were on different rooms in the same center, but what a coincidence! we were both candidate 5D so we finished at the same time. Both our passages were about going to the Space Museum. The summary was good. Discussion was not so good as both my group and mary’s went off topic! not to mention that i said, out of impulse, “what do you guys think?” Hmmm. Oh well! That’s that! Hope i can get an A in this section so I can fail the writing!

Heard the Evening of Music and Dance was good! Congrats Upsdell! Luckily I decided not to go cuz I had a flu anyway, would have wasted $40 if I had purchase tickets. I was trying to watch it “Live! Online” at kgv.net but it doesn’t work. Hmph!

Tut tut! Typing is now my medium of expressing myself since I can’t talk! Eek! My nose is sooo red!

getting excited about the Oscars. Too bad this stupid war’s going on and they have to cancel red-carpet bit. The red-carpet bit is best man! And so many actors/actresses aren’t going. it sucks. Hope Nicole wins!

have a nice weekend everyone!

oh forget about my 2 entries a week pledge. Never good at keeping those anyway. I will promise to spend less time on xanga overall. Yes. That one i will keep.

Today i forgot to wear casual to school so it was pretty “yu”. but mrs. rowark was really nice! She actually let me go home in my free to change back into my casual clothes.

Haha.

Poly U trip was ok. The lecture wasn’t that boring and i actually had fun writing notes hehe. Only i had quite a fattening lunch – they serve such large portions and i didn’t want to waste stuff so i ate most of it. *sigh. hate it when they serve huge portions. You never know when to stop.

Well the HKSARS (respiratory syndrone) is really scary so my dad went to get masks like everyone else in hk. *hope the disease will go away! Hope they fins a way to treat it real soon!

song only rotated 3 times when i wrote this so its okay. only 10 minutes.

* been reading kgv forums :

—i have english at least 3 times a week. Is there REALLY a relevance to have english lesson so many times. ~Year 8

—I’d say that if you still don’t know that English is a proper noun and therefore has a capital E by year 9, then 3 lessons a week is clearly not enough. ~Dr. Checkland

lol dr. checkland so sau.

Dear Kay:

It is our great pleasure to offer you admission to the Fall Quarter 2003 freshman class at UCLA.

Yay! At least i can go somewhere in the US if i really want to!

And if i don’t get BBC for Kings… i can always go to UCLA! Hehe. *I will be so dead in April.  when i get all those “Dear Kay, I would like to tell you with regret that Harvard etc. has not been able to offer you a place. However…bla bla bla. “

Sorry…just checked up my applications for UCs after realising the offers were out for most of the UCs. So i was quite happy… Since today is saturday (11:47) this entry only counts as a saturday entry. So the coming week, i still have 2 entries. haha.

Oh yes, and a very Happy Birthday, Teresa!

My jan exams were real crap.

Everyone’s been posting to say they won’t be updating anymore. Well i guess i won’t do that… but i will limit my entries to 2 a week.

because with xanga i spend hours changing song/layout/propping/checkin props. *sigh.

ok yesterday i did a lot of hw. so that’s gd. oh well. that’s it for now. I’ll choose the 2 best days of my week to post. Hope all those who chose to quite xanga until exams will come back right after the exams… and hope all our results improve… my goal is to get over 90 for all modules in june! and over 75 for chem! My Study Pledge.

to all those who are depressed…hope you feel better! *hugz* {k}
