LEAP YEAR! hehe that also means OLYMPIC YEAR! heh.

Tonight is Oscar night. On a leap year! How wonderful.

SOOOOO Xcited. even tho not particularly into any of the movies this year.

first time i will get to watch oscar night at night.

*ahhhhhh~ i need to practise mahjong cuz i suck horribly. Good thing not playing for money, and sorry to all the people who i was playing with la…*

Today snowboarding was painful. Ithaca is getting warm now… high is like 3 degrees… can actually walk out in a sweatshirt and not feel cold.

But that means that there is no new snow and Greek Peak resort, where i learn snowboarding, is basically a trail of ice…. bumpbumpbump on my head… crash crash crash on my knee… i have actually got a BUMP (ontop of a bruise) on my knee…so painful. After the first fall, i was really relunctant to practise my toe turns as i didn’t want to fall. (kept going down heel turn…, with the board horizontal) So yah, i prefer ithaca with more snow. Better for my snoeboarding practise.

2 prelims next week. So dead. Cornell just doesn’t give you a break. >.<

Mom and DAD you have to mail me some Hirutoid! My bruise hurts so bad! >.<

procrastinating tho i really can’t afford it. Will stop after this blog. Didn’t get externship post in Spring Break – betcha its cuz i’m not a citizen…

So much to do… the nutrition quiz was gay…asked all these stupid questions – don’t really care if Quinoa came from South America…>.< oh well… i will be prepared for these kinds of questions for the next quiz. Made Crepes in lab today tho… they were Good!

Made one too (Quiz on me) pls do it if you have time/procrastinating like me.

Eunice reckons i should update First of all…thank you Karen, Em, Kris, Dom, Kenneth, Matthew, Kav, Henry, Herbert, Steph and Kenneth and everyone else for all your messages! Feel much better now after my daily dose of ½Ä¤W¶³¾] medicine. hehe. The medicine is very expensive tho because cornell charges $2 per gb used… and while i was downloading from people, people were uploading from me… so yah… expensive stuff. I promise i won’t be so *ng lei ji* and waste money in this way… but i was SOOOO HAPPY when i watched my first episode of  ½Ä¤W¶³¾]~ :Estasctic!-)

BTW if anyone has episodes 1-13, 21-29….and is willing to send it to me (i’ll pay you back ) tell me la… or if anyone is homesick too, i can mail you CDs of my episodes too! hehe.

Also went to the supermarket today. Also made me very happy cuz i haven’t been in a supermarket for quite some time. And even if i don’t buy anything, it makes me happy! so si lai i know… but its sooo much fun!

Ok…now that i’m feeling better, back to my orgo >.<… *so geeky… but yeh like billy says: *goal = be geeky!* >.< ouch. so sad.

*take care all!*

i’m SoOOooOOoOO homesick its not even funny.

If only i stayed in HK.

If only i could go home for Spring Break.

If only i could watch TVB series.

If only my mom and dad and grandmother were beside me.

I’ve got to stop listening to Canto-pop it makes me cry so hard.

P.S. thank you vto. luv ya.

so…wassup with me? Doing alot more studying compared to last semester. Continuing with my C.Lai ness… ie buying books from the cornell store, reading the required readings…while ordering the same books from amazon and then returning the books. *hey… i saved 20 bucks* encouraging Henry and Cindy not to buy books from people who are ripping them off (lower price than Cornell Store but higher price than Amazon) while trying to rip people off myself (trying to sell MATLAB book i got for $50 for $70…)

Got sick on tues… perhaps it was because i was decieved by the ithaca weather. Was amazing warm on monday… 2C… so i went out to dinner in my sweatshirt… wasn’t cold but woke up having soar throat. Was fine during 1st two lectures… then felt headachy and feverish during 3rd lesson. By 4th lesson i had urge to go to sleep but tuesday is my full day (9-4, no lunch break). Luckily? for me, there was a major screwup with my com sci section… 90 people enrolled for a 30 people section, so i just went home. Drank the panadol lemon drink *amazingly good… should get mom to mail me some more*. Went out again to NS 247 cooking lab but unfortunately feel so sleepy and was doozing off in the lecture portion… *who said panadol was non-drowsy?* oh well… at least i didn’t break anything like last time (last lecture i broke a bowl) and the food i cooked this lab, although i accidently put twice the salt i was supposed to, noone noticed.

So after modification, my schedule now has a lunch break on tues, although now i have to drop my NS 120 class… (oh well, was planning to drop anyway) for a total of 20 credits… thinking about changing my chem to S/U so it doesn’t pull down my GPA like it did last sem >.<

people are already starting to have midterms…*sigh the dreaded exams* in 2 weeks time…it will be my turn…*sigh
