that was a pretty intense raptor game at miami with alonzo comin' back from illness for majority of the season ;) they hadn't beaten the heat at home since 1996! damn that's a long time! a rare win that definitely won't happen for awhile.. heh old man curry had a pretty good game. he's been shootin' well off the bench lately. stupid davis got kicked out on double technical. what is that?? gettin' tired of him. so what he was on the all star game. he's so inconsistent. the junkyard dog jerome williams is just hilarious. he brings so much life on the team. and keon clark ooh baby ( even tho he was fouled out today.. i still luv u ) !

anyway.. enuff about the game. i've been thinking today.. i've been told a few times that there aren't a lot of girls like me. girls like emily? what's so different about me? not much really. girls like me who play video games, play sports, open up a can of whoopass at pool or snooker, watchin' the game on tv, just chillin' with the boyz.. aren't there girls like that? i would think so. but from what i'm told, i guess not. my mom calls me a "lam yun por" (translation: tomboy) i guess there is some truth to it. i'm definitely not man-ish, but i'm not exactly girly either. it's a good things i don't have a thing for cars! i'd swear i'd have to start peeing standing up and scratching my crotch. ^^ another thing is i've always had more guy friends then girls. i have maybe 2-3 close girl friends from highschool and then there are my UW girls that i met last year. but other than that, i have more close guy friends. usually being the only girl in a group of guys, or sometimes they'd invite some hoochies but i'd be excluded from them anyway. i never grew up with one big group of close girl friends that most girls had. you know, the ones that had sleepovers, makeovers, girl talks, boy talks, and pigouts together. i just seem to get a long better with members of the opposite sex. probably because i guess my big sister never gave me the time of day when i was little. never taught me about make up, clothes, and boys. instead i just wrestled and played video games with my brothers. i've been told it's a good thing, but is it really? do guys find that attractive? would i become the "girl next door" or just another "one-of-the-guys" kinda gal that i often end up as. some actually found it intimidating especially havin' so many guy friends. hurt me, and i just say the word and there'll be some peeps ready to kick some ass. =P luckily that hasn't had to happen... yet. ^^ u can see where i'm coming from. even the way i dress. my usual outfit.. v-neck jeans and always running shoes. not to mention choosing a career that is mostly dominated by men ( which would sound good, but trust me ladies, cs geeks galore heh ). oh well, it's me. this is how i am! so suck it.
*i know u girls are jealous* ;) j/j

O M G..... i have never felt so sore all over my entire body before. snowboarding is pretty damn intense!! was my first time ever but it was good exercise and fun chilling with the UW peeps again ;)

the day started off when PC woke my ass up at 7 am.. ZzzzZzZz.. i was all packed and ready with all my brother's snowboardin' gear (goggles, hat, snowpants, knee pads, wrist guards, water proof gloves, and YES, helmet haha) and left around 8:30. was a looooong ride to blue mountain. we arrived at about 10:30 ish, got all geared up (me lookin' like some giant marshmellow puff) and hit the bunny slopes sans lessons! we must have took atleast 10 min to get down that hill (spending most of the time on our asses ^^ ). the artificial snow on the hill made it really slippery and icy which made it even tougher on our lil bums. and everytime i started picking up speed i would freak out and fall. =( i think me and jen had a tougher time getting off the ski lift then down the hill! took a nasty fall gettin' off the lift and landed awkwardly on my right shoulder =( after spending majority of the day on the bunny hill, me and jen waddled to the "green" level slope thinking we were prostars by now. heh we must had been up there for a good.. 10 min just staring down, while these lil kids whipped pass us doin' jumps and 180's. prostars we are not. ;) slopes closed at 4:30 and we all headed home only to face a terrible snowstorm up in country town. visibility was terrible and a couple cars ended up in ditches on the sides of the roads. we arrived back in Toronto 3 hrs later.. stiff, sore and dead tired. you can bet we all had an early, good night's sleep. ;)
Here are some pics Dave took:

i've noticed i've been writing less and less in this blog. (reminds me of my exercise habits) ;) sorry about that! maybe i have run out of things to say? maybe my blog is getting played out? maybe i just have nothing to bitch about lately because i've been doing pretty good. the sun is out! spring is here! it certainly puts people in much better moods. i don't know how the uw crew is going to snowboard on the weekend ^^ artificial snow?? it'll be my first time. hope i don't come back with a bruised up tush bigger than jennifer lopez puhaha.. it's going to be a busy busy weekend! frigg.. i still haven't even started my work report yet.... i'm soo dead...

=/ i think all that eating i did on the weekend has caught up with me. *huff .. puff.. * i really need to do some exercising. my tummy is starting to look like the blob trying to devour the top of my jeans when i sit down. (ok. i'm exaggerating. but you know what i mean)

frig.. blogger is so damn slow lately. lost my post. >=[

finally a new episode of ally!!! but no rob downey jr today =( *boo* heh. today was all about john and richard. the two heart broken buddies spontaneously head to cali to get away from it all. but of course, their work just seems to follow them wherever they go. the two run in to two attractive women with legal problems and as you probably have guessed by now, john and richard save the day. john is hilarious. do you know anyone whose nose whistles when nervous? ;) i remember one scene in particular. picture this: it's a warm night, with a cool breeze blowing through the transparent curtain, with the moon dimly peaking in. slow dancing to frank sinatra's smooth voice near the balcony. *SigH* i guess you could say i'm a hopeless romantic. i've been yet to be romanced. i can only imagine through sappy shows like ally ^^ which is probably why i love watching it. still waitin' to be swept off my feet...

what a busy weekend must have gained a few inches around my belly. puahah..

you know it really is a small world. everybody seems to know everybody, or is that just the asian community? well that's what i noticed. initially i started this blog thang to bitch what's on my mind. and who the hell would really care to read it but my close friends. but you never know who could drop by =P i guess i should becareful what i bitch about then huh? it might just be about YOU! :)

just watched the sesame street biography on A&E. i love that show. (sesame street i mean) i've been watching it since.. wow.. i can't even remember. it was my trusted babysitter. =) (fact: there really is a sesame street. just a few blocks from my house! near fair glen P.S. =P ) can you believe that show has been on for 32 years? that's how old my brother is! (yes, i am the baby of the family ^^ ) anyway, it's good to reminisce. back in the day when we were so innocent with no cares in the world.

this post was brought to you by the letter M. ;)

*yawn* just came back from chilling with age, raj and ken. went to markham station to watch some NCAA action! ^^ felt quite the losers when our faces went shiny beet red and mouths went numb after just 2 pieces of spicy hot chicken wings. can imagine what the waitress must think of us when we asked her to box it up and bring us some honey garlic wings! "whatta bunch of pansy asses..." again, sorry my fault!! after, we caught a late flick at coliseum, that funky UFO theatre, and saw enemy at the gates. not much of a fan for saving-private-ryan-war type movies but damn.... jude law ... *drool* =P~ made it worth it... that and seeing some guy's ass pass gas in a fire.. AHHah.. ^^ anyway.. it's 4 am *yawn* gotta wake up early to go yum chah with mommy. niters~

puahahah.. damn.. anyone see that commercial?? for pokemon stadium 2. i don't know why, but i found it pretty darn funny. b'anyway, so what's with guys and video games? a co worker just bought dreamcast and lately that's all he talks about. all his girlfriend could say was "so... how much time will you be spending on that?" heh ^^ seriously, the amount of time guys put into video games is just insane. last summer, when diablo II came out, i thought my friend had disappeared off the face of the earth. he would tell me that he'd be so into the game that he would forget to eat and drink fluids.. even sleep! when i called him up, conversation would consist of "em! i got the stone of jordan today! another 5 hrs and i'll be at level 32!" or sometimes it would just be the sounds of the keyboard and the game. don't get me wrong, i love video games too, but not to that extent! got stuck on the first disc of FF7 and i never touched it again. fighting games on the other hand... *evil laff* PS2 tekken with 4 player tag team at jay's house.. muhahah.. we are the beasts!

you know what? colds really piss me off! the damn sneezing and the sniffling and runny noses. the worst is when you can't breathe. you're sitting there doin' work, or trying to sleep in your bed and the friggen thing just gets more and more clogged. you get fed up (your mouth is gettin' crusty dry already .. ) so you get up to get a tissue to blow the damn boogers out. but as soon as you get up, miraculously your nose clears up~ but as soon as you sit/lie back down it's back to breathing thru your mouth again. the best thing you can do when in bed is sleep on your side so that only one nostril gets clogged at a time. but then after awhile, it gets so dried up that it hurts to breathe =( *sigh* i just can't win can i.

today i read an entry in twentysomething by Dave and it really interested me. what would it be like to know what people were thinking. to be able to read someone's mind. like mel in what women want. it's only human for us to be curious. sure it'd make somethings in life a heck of a lot easier wouldn't it? being able to tell if someone was lying to you. knowing what they're thinking. knowing what they did and why. knowing everything. sometimes i wish i had that ability. to get out of a nerve wrecking situation, avoid confrontation and just pluck the information you want from whoever's head. but of course, it's not always something you wanna hear. and before you know it, you've jumped right into a new and equally nerve wrecking situation. i guess in my case, kill the damn cat and move on. (if only it were that easy.. )

there they are, the sassy ladies of Destiny's Child. i love this group. singing songs about laying down the law to some trifling man with their "you-go-girl, kick-him-to-the-curb" attitude. the newest song hittin' the radio stations is "survivor". i should pull an "Ally" and use this as my theme song ^^ much better than the recent "i never had a dream come true" by S club 7 tune i've been hummin' to myself lately.. don'tcha think?

3 entries in one day.. am i a loser or what? heh.. well i started this weblog so i could vent.. and goddangit.. that's what i'm GONNA do.

emily emily emily... *SigH*.. i am one confusing lil girl. i don't even understand myself sometimes. and if ur wonderin' what the hell i'm talkin' about.. take a good look at my other half.. see anything? OF COURSE NOT. not to say i can't get any action or anything. but my love life history always seems to repeat itself. i've actually only had 2 boyfriends: 2 months and the other.. 9 days.. puahaha not too long huh? but actually.. the action i'm talking about are the ones during the checking/dating/getting-to-know-you stage and don't make it to the title "boyfriend/girlfriend". dang it.. these stages often last awhile for me and i'm talking months. i don't know why that is. i always seem to scare myself out of a relationship. why is that? am i only in it for the chase? (aka miss oops i did again...) and when i lose hold, is it the taste of forbidden fruit that i just gotta have? i don't know what's wrong with me, but my lil heart just can't take anymore of this. when things turn the other way around, i get all emotionally attached for some reason ( and MAN am i seroius about that. you are talking about queen of ham bau's <~ translation: cry baby ) lately, my best friends (jay and ed) have never seen me this hung over a guy before. (btw, thanx j + e for putting up all my crap! u guys set my head on straight, even if it means taking both of your bitchings and breaking off my legs ^^ luv u guys) even "he" must think i am some kind of freak now that i think back on the things that i've done. was that really me? but now i'm at the point where i really can't take anymore of the crying and worrying and thinking about it soooo much. paranoid android's gotta take a rest.

one thing i always grew up thinking, especially during highschool, that dating was a complete waste of time. i always knew that it wouldn't work and that it wouldn't last. so why not save myself the hurt? unless i know for sure he's the one.. (which is pretty damn hard) and i always thought that school, and career, and status were way much more important in my life, especailly now that i'm in university. and that until i've established those things and became stable, then love would be a bonus! i told my friend this and he answers "have you been sniffing glue?? u sound so philsophical!" =P for me, things like this would be a HUGE distraction in my life. but then i have friends who tell me that, even tho there were some tough times, they don't regret anything that they've done and the experiences they've had with their current and past loved ones.

i should just become a nun. ^^ now how many of you who know me are laughing at that? but seriously, i've learned a lesson here. if he/she doesn't compliment who you are (and no i'm not talking about him GIVING you compliments u dum mofo) and if he/she doesn't bring out the best in you, it really isn't worth it.

hey all you UW peeps.. or whoevers bored picking their ass.. go check out twentysomething for a communal blog started by Dave S. =)

posted by Emily @ 3:09 p.m. 0 comments

well.. seems like everyone and their mom has a blogger these days. so i thought i'd start a lil blogger of my own. (this is how bored i am at work... ) mind you, i'm a 4-eyed CS mathie from UW so don't be expecting any philosophical writing ^^ maybe if i'm on crack.. haha..

they say keeping a journal is a good way to release stress, and i guess it's good to bitch and let it out instead of letting it bottle up inside. anyway.. so here it is..

enjoy.
