phew~

What a weekend! (my weekend starts friday) I must say i'm quite happy with the outcome & how everything turned out to be.. I can be quite a worry wart at times, but i think i'm handling things much better now as i get 'older'.. haha! and also, I think that I've learned to trust God more (b/c He never fails u).. Like when i was younger, I would call mum/dad crying.. or when i was even younger i would throw a fit! (yea, i am a scary kid.. oh wait, maybe i still am..=P)

1. My camera is finally fixed! turns out it's my new XD card that was faulty.. no idea y.. but at least i dun hv to spend money to get a new batt.. so, i'm happy.. i'll just use my old XD card.

2. I did a 'degree audit' to make sure I can graduate in dec, and to check what courses i hv to complete. (i'm glad i did that) initially, i was using this online system they had on the website. and like woo~ i had to take 8 courses in the fall if i wanted to grad in dec.. no way man! so i went to speak to a academic advisor, and phew~ after just a click of a button, i'm down to 7.

3. ok, continuing from no.2, the reason why i'm taking 7 nxt sem is bcos i dropped my religions class. dun get me wrong, i liked the class but the prof is insanely hard marker! the class average was 53% & he refuse to bell curve. And practically speaking, i didnt want an elective to pull down my GPA. At least i had a fun time in the class & learnt A LOT! (like how so many malay words actually come from Sanskrit.. all abt hindusim, buddhism etc.) That's what matters right? Anyways, i hv to take another humanities to make up for that. Naturally, i'm doing music, i.e. concert band next sem!! so it's not too bad. Just 6 courses plus concert band :)

4. My housing issues! ok, so i found my place for summer but not fall sem... Seems almost impossible to find a place who is willing to take me only for sept-dec. Might end up back on rez! :( We'll see.. Oooh, & as for summer! i'm so happy~ i found this 'too good to be true' place. It's a condo just opp my workplace. When i was on the website, reading the description & price, i wanted to stay there so badly already!! was praying hard for God to keep it for me =P but i kept telling myself not to be overexcited abt it yet.. otherwise i might get disappointed.

Anyways, i got there, the house owner (student) was so nice n frenly. And everything was like i imagined it to be. Let me bore u with the details: it's a 3 bedroom condo, he n his gf in the master bedroom (they won't be ard in the summer); bigger bedroom -> another girl; smaller bedroom --> me! so, i'm just sharing the whole place with another girl in the summer. And there's a REAL living room with nice couch n tv.. FREE washing machine n dryer IN THE HOUSE.. There's gym (yay), pool table (peter, u'll like this) n swimming pool downstairs. ohya, & the place is right smack in korean town n beside the subway station! the only downside is the room is small, that's y he's asking for that price.. basically, it'll fit a bed, table n closet.. that's all.. but i dun really mind, considering i can use the whole living room n such!! anyways, it's $400/mth inclusive of internet & utilities.. YAY! i wrote him a cheque immediately.. wow, so decisive for once.. yupyup! so come visit in the summer.. haha, a little far from some ppl though.. i'm up north this time.. wow, so i've stayed in the east, south n north (soon) of toronto.. maybe west will be next. haha..

Just wanted to thank God for everything.. and also good frens who are always there supporting me.. Mel & Lining were nice enuff to accompany me with house searching this time..:) thankew! really appreciate it.. 2 more weeks of school n it's finals~ wow!
