| OMG....I haven't updated for the longest time. Well now I have lots to write cuz' I have thought through many things after this HK-Thailand trip. One of the biggest things that I figured out is in terms of relationships. All along, I thought I want someone who is social, have lots of bees around yet only like me (basically like Raymond Lam...haha i know, so unrealistic). But I have realized that this is not exactly what I can handle. Too many bees = no place for me and would make me feel inferior. Then I realized that what I really need is emotional security, and for the other person to make me feel good about myself and that I am valued, and he would purposely make time for me even when he is busy. Most importantly....strong and consistent communication. He would have to be flexible and be able to communicate just as well and close through ALL sorts of communication tools (msn, email, phone, in person...etc)....haha The other day, I was talking to another friend about my I-bank friend. We were saying how once people are rich, they may change or become a player. I insisted that this I-bank friend of mine will not change even if he becomes very successful and rich one day. And I am certain to the point that even IF I am his gf and he has a LOT of beautiful and sexy bees around, that he still won't be a player, cuz' he is the type that knows exactly what he wants and is confident about what he decides on. Then I thought back and asked myself....woo wait....why did I say that? Why am I so sure about this friend's character? I can't really explain why I trust him so much. I often don't trust handsome, tall, potentially rich, nice, social guys that much...hahaha. But somehow I just do. I think it's because he has very strong self-control, confidence in himself, and has guts. And that makes you feel so much more secure. It's almost as if he's looking you in the eye and telling you 'You can trust me'. Ok - so I have said so many things about this friend of mine and you must be wondering why me and him are not together....haha....well, it's because I don't have that romantic feeling for him...hahahaha....simple as that. I like him too much as a good friend...LOL. During this trip, I also learned to let some things go sometimes. My grandpa has passed away last year, so my grandma is living alone. However, she's living very strong on her own. Then I realized that sometimes we can't be that 'jup jerk'. When it's time to let go, you must let go. Need to be able to 'pick it up and let it go'. Just cherish the time with family and friends even if it's short. Quality > Quantity. If there are things that you believe you should say/do, then say/do it before it's too late. Although there're always some things that might be better left unsaid. When it's time to part though, it's sad, but you still gotta let go and remain hopeful at the same time. Believe in 'Yuen Fun' ^_^! From now on I need to be more independant and strong. I am planning to work in either Vancouver, Toronto or HK after I graduate. I could be on my own if I stay in Canada though...so I need to be strong. During this trip, I've also found some self-worth and confidence in myself...hahaha. I'm not super pretty, tall, or sexy. But I do have an attractive-healthy personality/unique character and a good sense of humour. I am not the centre of attention type, but am the soothing/comfort type...LOL. Anyways, gonna' leave HK tonight. To all my friends in HK, I only have one message for you 'Yau yuen joi geen!' 'Yau yuen chin lei leng sern wui. Mo yuen geen meen but sern sik.' Bye for now! ^_^ To my friends in Van: See you soon! | | |
| Haven't updated for a while........
Things were moving along quite well for the first 10 weeks. Since week 11, 12, and now 13 approached, things have been a little frustrating. Mostly has to do with systems/issues that I don't really agree with....causing me to become outspoken about things.
So this week, I gotta cram in a lot. Gotta study for my 2 finals, which are back-to-back next thurs + fri. Gotta edit the entire 478 paper + prepare for the presentation this friday. Gotta cram in the big HR project thingy before next monday.......everyone in my group is now really frustrated, cuz' of the lack of time we're given to do this extensive thing....worth 40% of our course grade. Anyhow, we'll just have to somehow pull it together and make sure that it's a good product....dunno how we're gonna' do that (ready to pull out our hair right now @_@), but I guess we just HAVE TO make it come together.
Time is very valuable now, so I guess I can't blog too much. Heading off to Asia on the 12th (yes, the next day after i'm done my exams). I can't lose 'air' right now!!! GO DORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Still very mad at SFU. The advisors are kind of useless too....I mean, they can't even answer my basic questions. I had to go around talking to different ppl and calling different campuses to find it on my own. Seriously, I think I would make a better academic advisor for the students. Anyways....I need alternate plans...

| My life is so crazy these days......going to group meetings almost everyday for at least 5-6 hours. My Easter Weekend is fully booked with meetings, meetings, work, work, and more work. Even more frustrating is that there is an uncooperative member in our group...we all have to do extra work because of him. And today, someone suggested that I present all 3 papers for the presentation.....usually I'm quite willing to compromise, but this time....it's a big NO! NO WAY I'm gonna' do it, cuz' presenting all 3 papers means that I would have to know all 3 in depth. I have absolutely no time to do that, since I'm already responsible for presenting 2 of the papers. *Luckily, someone promised me that I won't have to present that extra paper...hehe. Thanks! My lifesaver, as always!
Even though my workload is getting heavier and heavier throughout the month, however, I realized that my state of mind is getting lighter and lighter in a good way. Seem to have seen through many things. Perhaps it's because I start to care more about the 'process' rather than the 'results'. Less expectations = less disappointments anyway. I guess there's a reason for learning certain lessons in life. You'd know better.
P.S. Recently met 2 extremely nice swedish girls in one of my classes. They're so friendly and sweet!

| Thankyou everyone for making my birthday so special this year!!!!!!!
On Friday, went out with family for sushi. Of course, I get to order both Uni and Chopped Scallop sushi....hehe. After dinner, went home and had my bday cake! YUM
Last night, went to Monk McQueens with my super sweet group of friends. They purposely picked this place because it serves seafood dinner + jazz music + and dance (supposingly...haha). Just everything I wanted!!! I spent the afternoon dressing up at home of course...to try out my new dress...hehe. Left house at around 6ish.
The view near the restaurant was SO nice!! Although it was a bit too windy. Everyone got me a lot of nice presents!!! I love them so much!!!! (Thanks Janet, Brian, Norby, Lyddie, John, Pig) The highlight of the night was the birthday cake though. Thanks Pig for putting in so much effort for making the cake........totally flattered. Your group of guy frds are just amazing....cuz u all know how to bake/cook. Whereas us girls....hmmm...haha. Anyways, the cake was super tasty! Thanks! - we also took lots of pics!!! hmm...I just realized how fat I got...haha......especially arms....they used to look perfect in pictures, because I'm a little skinnier in person. But now that they look perfect in person, they look fat in pictures...........must be because of hiphop dance class....making my arms all 'cho' and stuff....LOL
Anyways, after dinner, we headed off to ESTEA near metrotown for some bubble tea. Super nice night to chill out. Thanks!!! You guys always make me so happy and special!!!
Thanks to everyone who sent me email/textmessage/fb messages too! They mean so much to me!
