let's start friday morning...
Friday
woke up super early.. at like 6:00 to get ready coz i still had to shower and do some last minute packing.. anyways... i picked up mike and we got to school by 7:00 and surprisingly, there was no one there! oiii... so we waited and people started coming little by little and I gradually realized that I had probably brought the most stuff! i don't even know what i packed! and it didn't seem to be a lot at the time.. meh.. whatever... so people came down and we waited for the bus and just hung out for a while... yep... it was clear i had the most stuff.. hahaha.. loaded the bus then sat down... one bus with the whole grade was not a pretty sight.. we were pretty stuffed in there and could barely move... some people had to triple up but thankfully i didn't have to.. hehehe... sorry.. anyways.. the bus ride was interesting... at one point.. we were playing mash and i guess i got a little rowdy that the bus driver said "hey girl with the pencil! settle down" quite embarassing but meh.. wasn't affected by it... hehehe... arrived at norval and it was snowing! eee! went into the stephen house and saw our living quarters for the next day. oiii.. we had cubby holes for our stuff! and my first impression of the beds were.. OMG.. we're soo cramped! there's no way we're gonna fit in there.. so we dropped off our stuff and went outside to play some games like chuck the shark, etc... usual team building games.. quite fun... went on a "little" hike afterwards throughout the property.. there was no way that we could memorize where to go for the search and rescue so i was a little panicked.. oh well... interesting property.. hehe.. it had a blair witch forest so that was quite creepy.. and the walk was tiring.. i was soo happy when we got back for lunch.. hehehehe
let me comment a bit about the washroom facilities.. there was one washroom with 4 urinals, 2 toilets, 2 showers and 2 sinks for ALL boys AND girls! we had to flip a sign that said girls on one side and guys on the other and if it said boys, we had to knock to make sure there weren't any guys in there before we flipped the sign.. kinda gross... had to get used to it... i don't think I did...
so after lunch, it was time to start the search and rescue. i was a little upset coz i was placed in first aid instead of search and rescue like i signed up for... so that was an hour of learning that i didn't enjoy too much but oh well... then we started the actual search! it was great.. haha.. we were team H&M! matt and norm on search, me arjun and jen on first aid, steph and greg on stretcher, tracy on crisis, heather and mike k on base... it was awesome.. hehehe... at first we were kinda confused and norm kept radioing back to base unnesscessarily.. so we persistently walked through quadrant 4 when we found a dummy! A DUMMY! it was bent in the most awkward position that if it was a real person, it would've been dead! anyways.. we had to rescue it like a real person although we wanted to just yank it from the arm! haha.. we performed first aid on a dummy that looked like einstein and made a stretcher for him. We heard screaming for help nearby so we walked a bit and found mr. radford!!! he had fake blood on his face and had a fake broken shoulder.. performed first aid on him as well and waited until another team could get there to rescue him since one team was only allowed to rescue one person.. then we headed back... it was a great experience and it wasn't even that cold..
after dinner, we had praise and worship and that was actually extremely good! acoustic always sounds sooo good! go kwan on the guitar! hahaha... very uplifting experience and the sharing was awesome.. Mr. V's was soo inspiring that i was teary-eyed after... actually all the teachers had really inspiring messages... it was like.. God was telling us through them what exactly he wanted us to hear.. and they all seem to have similar messages which was treasure our time right now and enjoy our friends and learn to trust God and not stress over things too much... very applicable...
bonfire! awesome! hahaha.. very scary walk though... plus walking with the likes of mike, matt and tim didn't help since they tried to scare me every single step! GRR!!! and plus adam's scare was sooo scary!!! marshmallows were good! YUMM!
the next day, praise and worship once again, then we had time alone... didn't think alot of people would take it seriously but they did! that was awesome to see... once again.. God revealed that I had to treasure and really be thankful for the friends I have... it seems to be a recurring message... herm...
went back for our girls sharing.. that was interesting... hehe.... Esther's story was awesome!!! hehehe.. i shared about treasuring my friends and i started to cry.. man.. im gonna miss everyone!!!!
anyways.. then we packed and went home...
at night.. a bunch of us went for kbbq! hehe.. yum yum yum!!!!
REPORT CARDS TODAY!!! YAY!!!!! did better than i expected! YAY! heeheehe.. quite happy today..
plus.. NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!

Funny story of the day: this morning.. my mom was explaining some chinese story to me about the movie she's watching.. she's talking and talking.. then she pulls up into school and pauses in her story.. i open the door and she's like.. What! I'm not done yet! so i sit back down, close the door, then she's like.. go go! you don't want to hear it.. i won't tell it to you! so that's that..it was funny at the time! haha
Funny story of the day 2: my dad calls and my mom has christmas piano music playing in the living room, my dad goes, whose playing the piano? I'm like.. Mommy is! He's like bs! she can't play piano! Im like.. she soo can! she's a good piano player, while im walking to towards my mom in the kitchen.. Then my dad was like.. She's not playing! I can hear the pots and pans clanking! I'm like.. oh darn.. hahahaha... my mom is laughing her head off! (this whole dialogue was in chinese)
anyways.. today... i was sad.. because of TIPS! i bombed that horribly.. anyways.. miss ng gave me these 3d glasses and i was wearing them in school and I looked soo stupid but that's alright! because i love being stupid.. afterall.. I am an "uberloser" according to wes.. GRr! haha.. skating was alright.. for some reason, i can't do loop loop combos or any loop combos at that.. much less try loop loop loop combos... so i failed miserably in that and patty was laughing at me.. grrr
another tips tomorrow! AIYEE! scared scared scared.. my marks are being pulled down as I type right now.. oi oi oi
..craving to go back and refocus my heart.. it's actually a big burden for me now.. deciding what to do...
11:00 PM
Tuesday, November 16, 2004
me no uberloser!! wes called me an uberloser and im not uberloser!
Tony Campolo was AMAZING!!! he's such a great speaker and although I know his words are from God, he has such great talent.. AMAZING! all i can say... very uplifting
I'm actually considering the one year off thing and to spend it with the poor for a year.. it seems like a great way to focus your heart on God and his desires before you go to university.. any thoughts on that???
Our girl talk after was really great too.. thanks for sharing tracy... you know im here for you at all times... every one there.. im praying for ya
after school, i had to go to the doctor.. apparently i have an abnormal white blood count for one of them cells.. hahaha... and its caused by stress... which is likely and the doctor said to get more rest... then we had a very good talk about university.. he said not to treat it like an extended high school but more as an opportunity to expose yourself to what's out there... don't treat it as a competition but more as a learning experience.. he said don't stress over it.. and then he said that whenever i needed someone to talk to regarding my spiritual life or my future to just book an appointment and he is willing to talk to me.. its great to know that even my doctor cares a lot for me...
my mom also had a check up and apparently her cholesterol was high.. BUT! after we left the office, my mom was like.. darn! i was gonna cook fried fish and fried squid! (like filipino style.. so its super crispy and super oily and soo much rice just how we like it) and she was like.. OH WELL, ill start tomorrow.. but when she was cooking, iw as eating as well.. after i ate, i went to do homework and i came out and she was eating a salad but i didn't really take note because i needed to pee..
i come out and then i realized.. i went. MOM! YOU"RE EATING SALAD! WHY! she just burst out laughing with her dressing drenched lips.. hahaha.. and she's like.. i don't know! i feel guilty! then she's was like.. that's life. you can't enjoy it if you wanna live and then we burst out laughing for a good 5 mins... its one of those rare occasions that don't make sense but it brightens your day.. hahaha
anyways.. TIPS TIPS TIPS! very very scared...
...don't say it was because of me...

Your Beauty liesin Innocence. Pure, sweet and child-like. You most
likely look far younger thanyou are and your smile would brighten up anyone's
day. Seen as naive andsheltered, you can be ignorant at times, but for
the most part, it's simply yourreputation preceding you. You are most likely
rather aware of the realities oflife. You are extremely good natured and
trustworthy. By the same token, you area bit too trusting. Be careful, few are as honest
and open as you. You mightseem girlish still with a love of dresses, ponies,
and things most might deemyou "too old for". But this doesn't
bother you. You enjoy your youth and aregoing to make it last. After all you are only as
old as you feel.
Some ThingsThat Represent You:
Element:Light, Wind Animal: Kitten Color:
White, Pink, Pastels Song:Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
Expression: Innocent Smile
Gemstone:Diamond Mythological Creature: Unicorn
Sign: Virgo Planet:Moon Hair Color: White Eye Color: Silver
Quote: "Astranger is just a friend you haven't met
yet."

hahaha.. its sooo true! jesse mccartney's song is my fav right now! hahahaha..

Well, my cousins, my mom and I were at tnt. We were lining up to pay and lemuel was in line.. my mom met up with us there and lined up behind the line beside lemuel. The guy in front of her had a similar jacket as lemuel so she SLAPPED him on the back and said in fookienese, "are you stupid? put the basket down!" and the guy turned around and it wasn't lemuel! let's say the next five minutes was a time of constant "sorrying"!! haha
my mom called me aivory ann this morning and it was quick so lemuel thought she said evian.. then he was like.. why would she call aivory evian? then i said.. AIVORY ANN! then i said.. evian is pretty cool for a girl's name.. then willing was like.. yeah.. did you know evian spelt backwards is naive?? im like.. great!

What I learned in Team Granite
visualization to do at home:
1. Set a Short Term Goal - Decide on something you would like to achieve, or a challeng you would like to overcome.
:: Get a 90 Average ::
2. Create a clear idea or picture - Create a picture in your head or a feeling of the situation exactly as you want it. Imagine yourself in the situation. Include as many details as you can.
:: I see the report card coming, I flip to the second page and see a 90 average ::
3. Focus on it often - bring your mental picture to mind often, both casually throughout the day or when you have quiet moments by yourself. This way it becomes part of your life.
:: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 ::
4. Be positive about your goal - be encouraging to yourself. Make strong, positive statements to yourself, that it can come true or is now coming to you. See yourself achieving it.
:: I can get a 90, I can get a 90, I can get a 90, I can get a 90 ::
hahaha.. hilarious.. meh.. today's team granite was fun.. it was pretty much just relaxation and visualization... a good one was when we had to sit and close our eyes and we had to take a thought that prevented us from doing well, something that was a hindrance and picture a purple flame approaching us. It got closer until it was right in front of us and we had to picture it wrapping the purple flame around us and feel warm in it. Then we had to transform our thought into strength. It was pretty cool because I could actually picture it. Best one though was the last part where we were lying down.. All i heard was "relax your body, picture yourself in a white room, with white walls, and there is a white screen and a white chair..." then POOF! i was asleep.. hahahahaha.. meh.. very productive night..
9:44 PM

Today was
FUN! at the end at least.. well, it started off pretty rushed coz i got up a little later than usual causing me to rush in the morning... anyways... ISP conference for english.. i think i may have over-committed myself... oh well, ill deal with it later... i need to find another book coz i can't have the same author for both books.. oh well... Bible was fun since we all ranted out our thoughts about the school and stuff now.. hehehe.. it was all girls so that was cool.. I really enjoyed that.. Calc! i got lower than i expected I would get... grrrr... need to pull up!!!! went to bv for spare and lunch and that was cool, very relaxing since we all needed to get out for once... then... law and eco.. great! hahaha..
after school, we had to prep for the sandwich run. I went to change then ran down to help out then i realized that the paper verses i made were in the car and my mom drove away! so i had to run upstairs and print out a new batch! oiii... but i got it in time... so we had the sandwichs done and i was eating my sushi and instant noodles with yonsooey. Duri and Hiu led the group in devos and we got split into our teams. Then we walked and were on our way to Nathan Philips Square.
Talked a whole lot with Rachel today.. hehehehe... man.. she is seriously my twin and I love her! heehee.. way too much alike its freaky.. if we spend too much time together, we're gonna drive each other crazy coz we're gonna do the same stuff! hahahaha.. well, chatted a lot with her on the subway... then when we split up into groups, i chatted with her some more.. hehehehe... well, at first, there were a lot of homeless around the square but we didn't know what to do.. but we just kept walking and walking and walking and walking and there were no homeless! there were like one or two? we gave sandwiches to these two guys and they were carving angels out of soap and I bought one.. its actually pretty cool... then we were walking and I attempted to give this guy a sandwich and got shafted! he said he ate already! im like.. OKAY.. hahaha.. HandM was giving out free cadbury chocolate! anyways.. we walked around some more.. then went back to the square... on our way there, there was a man and a woman in the bus stop and they were chatting for a while.. we went up to them and gave them sandwiches.. then the lady asked me to pray for her, and I did, then she asked mike and stephen to pray and we did... that was very inspiring to know that other people acknowledge God's power and wants HIs guidance..then we walked back and gave out the rest of our sandwiches and headed home.. SOOO TIRED
finally done my data mind map thing.. YAY
Let's get into the holiday Spirit!
Lights twinkle.
There's magic in the air as
elements conspire
and a spell is cast. Forget emails;
switch off the computer.
When it comes to the holidays, we all have
our favorite stories, those
once-upon-a-time memories that have
nothing to do with the
hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The dinner with everyone
around the table, the day of the big snowstorm,
the party that no
one wanted to end. This is the season
of memories in the
making, with gifts that will be cherished for years to come.

Butterflies
Today I saw two butterflies
Floating through the air
When I beheld their beauty
I knew God made this pair
Such tiny little bodies
Holding up their wings
Only God Almighty
Could make such precious things
Yes, it was God who made them both
God who set them free
He did the same with all mankind
Including you and me
Butterflies don't have a choice
No path that they must choose
They just fulfill the Lord's intent
They cannot win or lose
Life for us is different
It isn't quite the same
For we can turn our backs on God
To play the devil's game
But if we choose the devil's path
The cost is much too high
For Satan will destroy our lives
Then laugh the day we die
I am one who's made my choice
I shall not play the game
I will serve the Lord each day
To glorify His name
Since the day I made that choice
I've seen life differently
For now I see the things of God
The things He's done for me
He's given me the breath of life
Put sight into my eyes
And when He wants to see my smile
He shows me butterflies
