Interesting, huh?

i <3 michael catchphrases // 1:26 am
...food, is irrelevant.They said I'm poetic and sad when tipsy. I like the word tipsy. I'm absurd, ridiculous, and stupid. I will never do what I did again.Adalia knows me through-and-through. She knows me for me, and I thank her for that. I love Bokura ga Ita it is the most splendid anime in the world. (Tribute to sea urchins xD + turtle scooping xD!)I need to go to the lake and get some reading done. I can hardly open my eyes. The sun is out the sky is blue. It's beautiful today.Hanabi. In my head. It hurts.

feels like something is missing... // 8:25 am
You know that really sad song... "祝君好"? I realize this must look retarded on someone your internet browsers, but it says "Juk Gwan Ho" meaning... "Give the Blessing" which sounds even more retarded, so if you don't understand, just ask me and I'll send you the song or explain it to you.
I don't know if you've heard of it. Though the lyrics are not that applicable to my life right now... it's just such a thought provokingly ...sad... song.
I guess, it's after all the excitement and after all the hyperness... I feel kind of... low. Down even. I feel... cold. Just all of a sudden and I wish someone could keep me warm. I get that longing for home again.
I finished all my midterms... the worst one, as expected, was PSYC100. That one, I stayed up 2 nights to study for... and it happens sometimes... You think you've studied enough and then the questions are just not what you expected. I tried my best and I guess that's enough for me.
I'm tired and I feel tears coming to my eyes. In the end, we're really all alone. In the end... we're just individual. No matter how much we talk, interact, we're just alone.
This routine is killing me. Tiring me.
I want out.

"If music be the food of love, play on." // 10:11 pm
- Shakespeare,
Twelfth NightOrsino is in love with love. Maybe,
just maybe, I am too?
I absolutely adore Prof. Peterson.
adore. I've never met such a ... spontaneous... randomly...hilarious person. He's so great. He makes me able to make it to those brutal 8:30am's. Here is some of the things he said about love (since we were talking about the themes of love in
Twelfth Night)
in our lecture yesterday:
"Who believes in soul-mates? Who believes that there is a match somewhere out there.... like...We're snowflakes... All unique... special... and there's a snowflake out there... (the class is cracking up at this point because the analogy of being a snowflake is so RANDOM funny)
And you're eventually gonna join a puddle......(hahaha!)
What is this thing they call true love? It's like Santa Claus... puts down gifts and leaves... by the way, did I tell you Santa Claus doesn't exist? (Gasps
) Do you guys think love sonnets are cheesy? (A lot of people say yes.)
Maybe I should write love sonnets and send them to Hallmark... and start it with 'I am a snowflake...'" (More laughter.)
He's my type of humour. The random stupid funny kind. That's why I love him.
Shakespeare's a genius (despite stupid people's claims that he's overrated. ahem.)
I like Smarties. They make me hyper.
The sky is so blu and the waters are shining again. I want to run to the lake. It's freezing though and I need to study. Please, sky, stay the way you are until my midterm is over.
I'm so-o dead for my PSYC100 Midterm =). Yes, I'm still smiling.
I NEED ANIME RIGHT NOW (Esp. "Bokura Ga Ita").

november approaches // 8:46 am
I really miss my parents and my brother. I don't seem like the type to do or say that... but I really do.
It's so cold here in Kingston. The sky is blue and the clouds are pretty. Yet it's cold (inside? or outside...) and the moon refuses to show up. I miss my view of the moon from my room in T.O.
Adalia, my special friend. I miss talking to you. I hope you're doing well, even though we talk like... everyday... I have so many "emergencies". I can only resort to ... what you've given me, and what you've taught me.
Michael, thanks for tolerating me. I don't know how you do it.
I'm so tired. It's so hard to explain this feeling. If I could put it in tangible form I would tell you, it feels like... a rock... that slowly gaining weight ... inside.
We're doing
Twelfth Night by Shakespeare... my friends, you know how much I like the plot of that. I'm liking it more with Prof. Peterson teachin' it.
Sometimes, when you fake a smile to make yourself feel better, it just feels even worse. Stop calling me emo, I'm not.
It's so random. This post I mean. It's all over the place... my thoughts all jumbled. I'm so exhausted.
Thanks for the 100 visits by the way. I love you all, whoever you are who visits this blog.

mike says... // 10:12 pm
...the last post was insane.I totally agree, with no objections whatsoever.
I'm @Stauffer, probably the coolest library ever. (It's the
Queen's one, my school pride makes me proud. That was a very redundant sentence.)
I'm trying very hard to work on my PROF110 Assignment, but every single one of you who is reading this right now knows how dang hard it is for me to focus when there's Internet around! xp
The girl sitting next to me is drinking coffee and it's intoxicating me. Because I hate coffee. I think I'm allergic to it. The smell makes me want to faint. I hope she can't read this.
Moving along. I absolutely love my Jackie jeh and my Sharon jeh. I wish to dedicate this post to them, even though this post won't be inspirational or... intelligent even. But I still wish tell them here that I love them.
I'm so tired, though. I still haven't
STARTED on PSYC100 and I still haven't
finished studying for DRAM100. I'm so dead. I really have to get cracking.
Will post more later. (as you all know I will xp)

topsy turvy // 10:55 am
My hands are itching to write a blog entry. =D So this might be uber boring.
Sleeping at 5am everyday for the past... I-don't-know how many days is seriously no fun at all.
I'm
rewatching 'My Girl' with Jackie jeh and it's UBER fun because we have the same reactions. It's quite hilarious. We make SO-O-O much noise and eat instant spicy ramen =D. I love sleepovers! hehe.
(Regarding K-dramas, I wish to express my love for
KIM RAE-WON right here, from 'My Love Patzzi'. Dang, you're so symmetrical! ... Symmetrical is my new word for hotttt xp)
Why 5am? - T'is because of love. [Laugh out loud.] hahaha not. I don't know. I was having
LOTS of fun. K-drama-ing and anime-ing. Hanging out with (QCEA) engineers... I felt so special, being the only Con-Eddie =D THEY MADE THE YUMMIEST DAN TAT EVER!!! I'm so going back for more sometime soon =D
I felt horrible for Prince Edward though. He had to sleep on the floor, boo =(. At least I washed the dishes and cleaned his room for him. Yaaay, go Borat and Kimi ga! (Met some real cool people... like Frank, the AWESOME anime KCCF dude + Paulo, who likes anime too xD)
Tomorrow is my DRAM100 Midterm, I really think I should study, which is what I'm going to do right now.
'Til tomorrow then, my friends. Anyong. Oyasumi. Good night.

That's enough for me, thank you. // 9:56 pm
I'm weary, falling apart slowly and I feel it.
I'm done. It's over. I'll just accept it as the end.
I'm going to stop trying because that's what I do.
Once again, I'm going to run away.
Run far, far away, so I don't have to be here anymore.
So I can just be with people I want to be.
So I could stop feeling that empty feeling of missing people without them missing me back.
I really miss home... home as in... back in time... when home was really home... when I was still allowed to claim that my friends are my friends and not just my "high school friends".
-
this is enough xp // 5:06 am
Just blogging once a day I mean, so I don't feel so much like a geek.
Events of PSYC100 Class -
I fall asleep midway through the class. (Like I always do.) I'm sitting next to Sharon jeh and this random white guy... and then according to Sharon, he was making fun of me in a funny way and imitating the way I slept... so then she decides to POKE me real hard and I
JUMP up and look like an idiot and the guy starts laughing. My life is is =__="
Next, I'd like to express my undying admiration for my dearest CLST100 (Classic Lit) and ENGL110 (English) Professors: Erez Natanblut & Craig Peterson... man these guys are just
so hilarious. I love them so much.
Prof. Peterson acts like a kitty cat. And he's got the cutest intonations of talking and everything... here are a couple of hilarious quotes -
8:30am Class sometime last week, he comes in a little late... and he says this,
"Guys, anything
cool happening lately that I'm not aware of?"
Class goes a little quiet, "...."
(Oh my gosh what a cute silly question!)
Then he goes, "I just found out about Facebook. Anything else I should know about?"
And the class cracks up. (hahaha... He's sooo awesome!)
Sometime this week he also said this randomly: "I'm watching Prisonbreak... learning how to be cool. In case I end up in prison or something..." HAHAHAHAHA WHO SAYS THAT?!
Prof. Erez but me and my CLST100 just call him Erez... so he's talking about the cattle of Helios (a sun god from Greek mythology) and then he starts saying how like... it was a bad omen that the cattle were making noises while it was being roasted... and he goes
"I really don't want to make fun of these cattle....." HAHAHAH RANDOM OR WHAT?!
I'm thoroughly enjoying these two classes, and I'm so glad of it. =)
I started dLing a bunch of awesome TVB themesongs... I got several oldies too! This is awesome! Reminiscing about all these awesome TVB dramas that I might never come in contact with again =(. But it's still fun remember about them.
I need to start studying for PSYC100 and do my laundry and type up some CLST100 notes... sigh.
I miss my close friends, you're always in my heart... every single one of you. Just wanna give you guys all a shout right now: Ad, Cla, Kat, Jac, Mike, Julie, Derek, George, Kawai.

thoughts after CLST Midterm // 11:53 pm
The raindrops are cold ... almost frozen.
It's raining in PUDDLES and it's gloomy. Usually I'd be happy because I LOVE walking in the rain... but... =(
My arteries are going to clog if I don't get some fruit or vegetables into my system soon.
I
shtole took 2 eggs today and they're very yummy... you know what else is really yummy? Asian pears. I'm having one right now =D
Thank God my CLST100 Midterm was easy-peasy. Couldn't get any easier. I'm glad I studied with Nancy before hand though, or I would've gotten Scamandrius/Astyanax wrong. (I'll remember that name forever because it is so sad.)
Hector is my Trojan hero. Out of everyone, I'm most in love with him, even though... he goes through "pathos" and dies... and... has a sad end... and his son is thrown off a cliff and his wife's name is Andromache which means "man battle" in Greek.... he's still my favourite hero. Regardless of the fact whether he is a Trojan or a Greek. Hector gets a little shrine here....
Hector, you are my hero.

"gray-eyed, sleek-haired Athena's shrine" // 7:24 pm
....an immortal from the blue. Athena's my favourite goddess of them all. Born from Zeus alone... she's the one who captivates my attention. Goddess of wisdom... oh you jealous goddess of wisdom.
I'm studying for CLST100 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Never imagined University could be so fun =).
My hair is getting long. Today I have to mail something.
The sun is rising as I speak. I hear morning birds chirping.
I hope it's another blue-sky day.
"Just believe hard enough and it'll come true..."
Will it?

wow // 8:16 am
What a day.
The lake is
so beautiful.
Since pictures are worth a thousand words... here's 61,000 words for you:
Why I love Queen's.It was great spending time out there listening to the waves... watching sunset... sigh.
Lovely. Thank you God for blessing me with so much.
(Had a really great conversation with Kathy today at Ban Righ... my soul longed for a hamburger... I'm glad I bumped into Kathy though... hadn't talked to her for so long...)

my first University exam is over // 10:38 pm
I walked out of there ALIVE! ALIVE I TELL YOU ALIVE!
I'm insane. Out of my mind. Dotty. Scrumptious. Delectable. Fizzgawumping.
Hehe. I love Roald Dahl. My gosh what does that have anything to do with anything?!
I'm ON THE EDGE. I'm LOSING it. Yaaaay! Let's all lose it together (dancing).
DANCING QUEEN, YOUNG AND SWEET ONLY SEVENTEEEEEEEN.
I think I was too bold in that exam. I think I should've just chosen one and stuck too it. Too late now I suppose. But.... it was fun nontheless.
I couldn't sleep all night last night then when I finally fell asleep I forgot to set my alarm clock... so... I'll have to thank those blasted construction workers for hammering down on that concrete so hard and woke me up.
9:11am... Close call eh guys?
(By the way, my exam was at 9:30am.)
Don't we all love Karen?

insomnia for one night // 4:48 pm
Six hours before the exam, I'm wallowing in self-pity because I don't have a decent cup of water to drink. Also because my final point is not coming along.
I'm screwed for life (or maybe just this philosophy exam). It is driving me up the wall and around the corner. I had always thought that nothing could get worse than high school exams... or Mr. Vermont's Calculus tests.
I couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed... Thinking. Philosophizing.
Oh, I just hope I don't collapse in the middle of the thing. Wait, that would actually be a great idea, because then, I could just write it some other time.
(See? I've officially lost my mind.)
PS. Why is the kotoba odious?

BLOGGING 3x A DAY MAKES ME A GEEK! // 10:37 am
Still not getting better! (As in, I'm still ill.)
Sometimes I wonder, if you wish for something
hard enough... if... it just might... MIGHT... come true....
I had lots of fun at the dimsum dinner! =D I met another Karen Chan xp hehe. (Even though I knew of her before...)
I'M DYING OF BOREDOM! SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM THIS PHILOSOPHY MESS!

[from my friend twiggy's blog] // 3:57 am
I was reading my dearest childhood friend's blog and I came across something my god-bro
(waiting for verification) said to her and I think it's the most appropriate and hilarious thing anyone has said in a long time.
"There is no such thing as a not-stressful weekend in October. There's a reason why Halloween is at the end of this month. By then, we're all
dead."
I love my god-brother and my dearest Twigz.

ren-ka's version of "On the Value of Philosophy" // 11:58 pm
"Don't be so bold to make a claim that you agree with neither masters of philosophy. If you are doing so, be ready to defend yourself, but I suggest you don't." - Amanda Gibeault (PHIL115B TA)
Alright everyone, guess what Miss Intelligent Renka is doing? She's messing with
both Zea & Russell's argument to formulate her own. Is she dead or not dead?
Tomorrow is my first midterm... wish me well my friends (aga?). Haha.
Philosophy makes my life fun, sometimes.
0/5
MUST WRITE THESIS!

sigh // 7:58 am
Alas, I have discovered that I don't yearn for home unless I'm truly unwell. Yes, I am homesick. I am also very friend-sick. I miss everyone back home x a million.
I'm not feeling well, physically this time. I'm always feeling cold - which is no fun. My head hurts (
a lot). I think I should sleep, but sleeping it away won't help either.
Midterms are coming up and I totally am not in the mood for studying.
I'm sick. Someone stop this cough/headache. Too much walking in the rain and daydreaming.

{HIBERNATION} after the long wait... // 2:31 am
THE HIATUS IS OVER!!Karen's back, let's get a round of applause from everybody. =)I've decided to re-vamp (I absolutely love that word) my blog because my partial affinity to facebook is starting to dwindle. I really wanted a space that belonged to my words... and not just where I communicate with friends. Thanks for the support to anyone who's STILL reading this. (I probably forced you to.)I'm glad I have a new and beautiful site now... complete with this the retarded HaloScan comments system, which won't let me change the settings of. =) I'm quite content.Several words (or more), I wish to keep dreaming on this blog... it doesn't really matter to me how many people read it... or who reads it, but it is just a place where I can express myself. But if you do happen to stop by, do give me a shout. That would be much appreciated.
Another thing, I remember a long time ago, I decided to start using real English on here and that didn't really work out. I ended up resorting to my stream of conciousness again. (Sigh.) So now, I'm going to try and be a mature BA student and write in real English, or attempt at least. =)I hope everyone missed me. (I'm so awfully conceited, as you can tell already.)My last words are: "Yes, darling... white is in fact, a shade of blue."
