it's 5 am in the morning... and actually kinda bright outside. what am i doing up at this hour? my head's so hyperactive just now i can't fall asleep. i like days that are crammed with activities and "incidents," even just normal everyday ones, and i just had one of those. What did I do? I slept in (since I was up *last* night writing letters and emails and talking), and then went swimming with venetia. but everyone got kicked out of the pool because a little kid pooed in it (ewe, isn't that pleasant to know? >_< ). so we left and sat outside and chatted. i found out something which consoled me to not going to UT: the faculty ppl (or the dean? i forget) said that 40 people out of the 1000 life science frosh graduate from the program, and 8 get into med school. that sounds scary (but then statistics always sound scary.) i'm happy i chose not to go to that.

i went to chowse's house afterwards. i saw a bitta Mulan, we went to develop my long-coveted "muow guy" picture doubles (from LAST summer, at first markham, isn't that ancient history?), ate Jap food, tried to go on pressie shopping mission at hillcrest and finally went to Tim Hortons, where Tong works. Guess who we saw? Awrang!!! So this is the Timmies where he works. Awrang's disappeared from Langstaff for the past year so it was ... good!... to banter with him. he got so much skinnier! and since it was only Tong and Awrang working there we got free food... i like Awrang's telling us that "this is a buffet." hahaha! maybe we'll see him often at Waterloo, since he's Andrea's best friend. or maybe i should just go to Timmies every day and get free ice cap. :)

then Acca came... and *Wongee* came!!! i'm so glad to see Wongee... i'm sure i don't remember when was the last time i saw her, she never comes out. Terence and Mo and Juice and Tim came then... i didn't expect so many people were coming! So i had very very pleasant surprises, I'm glad i saw lots of people before I leave. and i got to take postcard and souvenir requests :) postcard list is beginning to grow long, but that's okay cause i'm gonna enjoy posting you people! and.... "dit lok hang kuay jup baw lay", "a lime a day keeps the hill away," mo's "Justin Timberlake" tennis player.... hahaha some of you won't know what i'm talking about but i'll just jot it down for memory's sake. As Jo phrased it last night I did have lots of "hometown fun" before I leave!

I leave Sunday, at night, just missing Acca 'n' Poksee's birthday gathering. I'm disappointed about that. :/ Before I go I hope I'll get to chill with Stephen this weekend, and I need to remember to go to the "lai-gay" and get books to read on the plane. When I come back, there'll be my G2 to do, rez stuff to consider, Angela and I can finally go watch "Finding Nemo" since she returns from hk the same day as I'm back! And i hope we'll have a "before university" gathering so I can see everyone before they head their separate ways... although there's a whole village of people going to Waterloo with me. Hmm i like how my plans for this month looks, don't you?

next month this time i'll be in Waterloo! wow startling thought.
