Lets start with sad things, that way I can end on a happier note
Anyways, as some people know, I've joined a...disciplinary...force organization, and basically we were put into squads.
When the issue of the squad leader came up, I can't help it, I wanted the position...
Basically both my friend in the same squad and me wanted it, so throughout the first phase, we dueled hard to try to win over the title...and at the end, I thought I gave my friend a run for his money, but he is more talkative and a few years older, so deep down I thought he'll win.
When moment of announcement came, yes he did win it. I was obviously not that thrilled, but wasn't that bad...but then I found out I didn't even warrant one of two assistant squad leader positions...
That...was not so great, and I'm struggling with the whole thing now... its one thing for me to think I should get it...but it didn't help my pride issue when both my friend, AND the ones selected thought that I was much more qualified...
Iunno, some can call it attention seeking, although I don't think I'm that type of guy, but I've always wanted to take a leadership role in anything I do...

But what the hell do I do now...freaking pissed...and worst part, I came in to the house after that meeting looking half like a thundercloud, the other half like a freaking monsoon, and my mom didn't even notice a thing...

...

On to happier things...
As a mini-update on what my life's been like in HK, basically my life has revolved around Hockey, SNSD, something that I cannot say in public but starts with a G, Basketball & Soccer, Guitaring, and Class...in that order xD
Most of you who will even bother to read this whole crapload of rant will probably have been subject to my harassment to watch random vids of SNSD, so I won't go in too long on the intro..
For those that don't know, So Nyuh Shi Dae is a korean pop group, comprising of 9 girls (don't give me that look), who are all cute except for one or two (don't give me that one either), who all sing really well for upbeat up tempo songs (no don't roll your eyes either)...and I'm in loved with them

Ok fine...more like obsessed...
So here I am, gonna give a detailed explanation as to why I like them so much... all of you at one time or another (except wahid, jonathan, eric, jeffrey etc who I infected with gee fever) have asked me why I liked them, giving me weird eyes at the same time, and I'm gonna explain that.
To be honest, the first time i saw their stuff I wasn't too impressed, just "ooo their cute". finish. But for whatever reason I went back and second time, and i caught the Gee virus then. Gee is their most addicting song, and man...hooks you up fast. After that, the snowball just got bigger and bigger and bigger...

To explain why...
1. Well, ok lets be honest, if it was 9 ugly or even average looking girls then I wouldn't be as addicted...but what celebrity isn't good looking?
2. Korean ... entertainment is surprisingly transparent, maybe from start to finish they were acting, but you learn so much about the girls through various channels....and I like what I see so far. They all have their distinctive personalities, and you grow to love them so much, for all their unique perks
3. Sure, they excessively show off their legs or whatever during their performances, but the reason I seperate them from soemthing like pussycat dolls, is the fact their performances doesn't flaunt their sexyness, they just dance...not semi strip and pole dance... I buy that marketing (haha exact words of Wahid)
4. Happiness... I don't know about you guys, but as most of you know I lean towards the softer side of music...all that emo stuff from chinese artists or that soft stuff like jason mraz and john mayer (who are still awesome by the way) but I find that I ... made my emo conditions worse by listening to their stuff so much. Now that I'm listening to SNSD stuff 24/7 my life's taken a turn for the better, happier overall, and just more energetic.
5. The girls, are really something, haven't seen a better melding of talents and skills to make one group...

My favourite girls are Seohyun, Yoona, Jessica...in that order xD

Enough, you guys still probably don't believe me...and think me even more badly now than before xD

End it with a link to...you betcha:

peace out.

Well, haven't really been doing anything on xanga, so here I am doing something

I seem to go through all these lapses until I finally think of enough stuff to write...oh well
Kinda jealous of the UBC guys, they're done ALREADY?! dude, i still have a month to go...but then again i had that one month and a half winter holiday so i guess it evens out =P
summer holiday still is better than winter though

Recently, cause I was too bored in hk, i decided to do something more, so basically I went and joined a couple organizations. I'm a student executive for the HKUST alumni association, meaning I help the alumni do projects and stuff and get a nice name for my CVs now in project management. I also get to meet a lot of cool people, all my bosses are CEOs or senior managers in companies (IBM...FDMT etc), and I get to meet OTHER people (Senior Manager of Manulife...Asia Pacific head for morgan stanley etc...) so its pretty cool and the connections are awesome.

Another project I got involved in is the first HKUST International Students Association, i take the post of Treasurer, just cause my concept of money and budget is far superior than anyone else, just because of the limited budget i'm living off right now. I've been totally abusing my relations and contacts, and networking, and have linked up a lot of cool stuff for the Association, which is currently planning a huge beach party that will be joint university with ChineseU and PolyU (where all the cute girls r u see? we supply the hot guys). We plan to start a first ever coalition of international student joint university ever (there are 8 unis in hk for the record), and its a shame i'll be in hk when that happens, i still insist in helping out though.

You know how hong kong fails? I went to the sole hockey sports bar in Lan Kwai Fong today, the premier red-light district of Hong Kong, and on the way back, i DID NOT MEET A SINGLE LADY WORTH LOOKING AT A SECOND TIME, i meen how sad is that? i thought hk was better but evidently the vancouver is where the quality is at...

I've also emersed myself in sports, taking up roles in basketball teams, keeper in soccer teams...yeah. I still want a hockey team, but i'm still not sure of my skills yet and besides the pads are awfully expensive, i'll work on that when i get back, gopala said he'll train me silly till i'm at his level...

Really want a job, so if somebody can hit me up with something, it will be awfully appreciated, i can't start looking yet cause i'm still in hk, can't get to the interviews >.> SOMEBODY take PITY on me...

yeah that sums it all, and yes i will be back in the summer...

By the way, i've been reading Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama, and its pretty interesting...very... informative of our black president's past....worth recommending for anybody wanting a book to read...gonna start on The Audacity of Hope maybe on the plane ride back

Its getting harder and harder to start these colossal entries lately...although i don't really think they are half as big as some other people's entries

Anyways, lots happened between now and last entry, first thing first is right now, my relationship status and life is way too complicated at the moment, I really don;t know what i'm thinking, and what i'll think next. although i seem to have finally settle it down, something happens to make it all go haywire, and I dont' know what to do anymore...However, the feeling is nice though at the moment, no heavy stuff on my shoulders

finals have passed obviously, and basically all my marks came out, basically i'm just really happy i passed all my courses. yes i'm not joking, i was in danger of failing, that's how bad my marks have been...gotta step it up the following semester. My marks have sufficiently scared me enough that i don't even want to become an exco anymore for my Hall House. I feel bad for ditching the friends that expected me to join up with them, but...
They have enough people though, shouldn't be too bad, i'm just afraid of domino effect, because that's what basically a lot of people are saying could happen, so far only one other after me dropped out, and for a pretty obvious reason that has nothing to do with me (i hope...)

So basically, i've decided to sacrifice comradrie for a more active and fun social life and school marks. i swear i will get all Bs this term hopefully. sigh...all you people in vancouver won't understand what i'm saying right now, but take my word that Bs are harder than they look...

You know what i'm finding? my style of clothing is starting to..change a bit i guess. I'll talk about new years resolution in a bit, but one of them is to slim down within the month of inactivity in January. didn't go off to a good start but i'm starting to work it out now. Now, i can't REALLY put my finger onto just how i changed my clothing, but...just maybe my winter clothing is starting to go...honger i guess...
the way you dress yourself is just how you see nice clothes...i haven't accepted skinny jeans yet, but my sense of fashion is starting to change just a bit...at least i try not to just wear society t-shirts and polos to school and especially outside now...if anything i'm starting to turn a little like Cedric, for those that know who he is.

But yeah...maybe i'll put some pictures on facebook later...MAYBE

new years resolution:
-slim down...in a few major areas
-weight : 160-170 (i should get any farther than that, cause if i'm slimming down properly it should just mean losing the fat and gaining some lean muscle, which is technically denser and more heavier...i've given up getting slimmer throughout, my shoulders will be staying where they are)
-don't give up too much to the honger style...maybe aim for what mike he wears in ...street basketball the drama
-actually go to all my class >_> or most anyways
-know when to sleep if i have a morning class
-get pro on guitar
'tis it for now, maybe add more later
