done my undergrad...

so, i'm closing the door on school and exams at queen's. these past four academic years haven't been all that great. i came to get a "better" education than york and i got all my favourite courses cancelled and on top of all that, i don't even get good marks. not that i was expecting too... but when they say the "Frosh 15". it's true.

i wanted to make a tribute to my past four years using photos, but living in a half-empty room with only my basic neccessities can't justify the memories i have. all i have left now is...



yeps, that's my empty room. the opposite of overcrowded crap that my sister left me way back.

it's been a sad few days... learning to say good-bye to people just isn't easy. in many ways, i know that i'll see a lot of these people again, but there are those that will go back to HK and i will not see for years to come. my pad has been wanting to see me cry for the longest time. on saturday, maybe i'll humour them...

so, here is my semi-tribute to this year... there are a few that have really made the difference to me this year.



first off, i love my PAD. no matter how much i think we still have things we can work on having true accountability. i really love them. i love the inside jokes, the face level discussions, the days we have true prayer, accountability and discipleship. i will miss those thursday/monday pad meetings... the meals, the rushes, the "one person prays for all" prayers. and most of all, i will miss being able to grow with you all. no matter how much i wish i can be there to scare our frosh next year, i wish that you'll still remember to educate her on the awkward, "motherly", pimp dancer - melody li. :)




this marks the end of dinners with adrian and jackie. i love having meals with them this year and brings me memories of all the times they've made me cry and gave me :*( on the rating scale. how will i ever eat so many meals with them again? never in my lifetime... no matter how much slack i don't give you guys, you know that i love you guys both enough to cry in front of you all. :)



and Oxford House. oh how i love thee. to think we were a random group of people who moved in together and had our own separate ways, but i really do think that there isn't a group of better people to live with. Elim, who provides our entertainment with the game cube and her funny things that she reads off the WOW forums. Steph our house baker/president who always makes yummy treats but has yet to bake us something from the martha stewart baking book we bought her. Gigi with her inability to hold in laughter when we're taking pictures and always needs help with creative projects (and is now our house chauffer...). and Judy who makes the house sparkle like mr. clean... where will my life be without you guys? i do hope that we will have chances to get together and have meals together. and to share our life stories and where we all are in the horse race. clearly, i'm in last place... haha.

so, this is it FOR NOW. i will have more when i get my host of pictures on my desktop at home. goodbye kingston... for now.

past two weeks...

suffice to say, these past two weeks have passed quickly. stress abounding with stupid PSYC 385 lab and exam on the same day... which i may have done oh so poorly on. but alas, there are only 2 more exams to my undergraduate days.

i haven't had time to update much on my life, but... here it is. i am going to do my MASTER's of Arts in Child Study and Education at OISE/UT next year and the year after. That is if I don't fail out this term and then they take away the offer. but yeah, that's where i'll be.. back in the TO and not in Taiwan teaching English as i originally thought.

then we had Grad Night at KCCF. i am so grateful for the friends i have there and not just those in those picture. you know, i've never felt a huge connection with those in my year but that night, we all came together to just celebrate us and that was fun. REALLY FUN. we had sharing, games, punking the new committee with shaving cream. muahaha... AFTER they pie-d us first. but yeah, it was great. in my sharing, i nearly cried but then my PAD group came up and read me a tribute to me that they put in the Ovecomer and then I did a "It's Not Easy Being a Pimp" dance. So for all your pleasure, I finally found a clip of it and this is me on the most embarassing night of my life at KCCF. But once again, I think I am shameless.


Afterwards, we went to Denny's at 2am and I got home around 4ish? It screwed up my whole weekend, but i'm going to miss the new friends i made this year.... it's like i made new friendships and also renewed some old ones. i really want to keep in touch with these friends. it's been awesome guys. you know, i always took the friendships here for granted but i will try my best to be there for people when they need it...

hmm... what else? oh, i'm going to panama on may 1st for a vacation with some people from kccf. it's a bit random with some people i don't know really well so hopefully it'll all work out. it's supposed to be a surfing trip but we're also going to hit up a rainforest and go ziplining and then go to panama city, see the canal and then hang out at our all-inclusive resort. i'll definitely upload pics when i get back....

alright, i gotta get back to studying or sleeping... it's late. studying is like crap.

love ya all...
