Southern and Midwest US + Ontario Canada Fans Who Love Jay Part 3!!

[jakinni]

Part three weeee weee weee!!!!

Even that can conjure up :shifty: thoughts.

Come on everyone!

[jayx8318x]

You added Southern *cries* :cry: I'm so touched!!!
I feel like I belong now.

BTW it's funny to say, but I'm getting tired of Jay's new album. I think the hype was too much now after listening to it, and realizing it's not *that* great, I'm almost burnt out.

[vunsin]

LOL... We put "southern" in our theme week description below our banners too, Karen. :rolleyes: But you didn't even join us. :cry:

Anyhow, I still can't get enough of the album.

[jayx8318x]

I feel soooo bad about the whole theme week thing :cry:. Being it was partly my idea, I just couldn't get it together. I tried looking for scandalous pictures, but you know how that ends up. So I have no idea how vun came across that picture without having seen *ALOT* of other *THINGS*
*hint hint nudge nudge*

[vunsin]

What, Karen? :rolleyes: Maybe you should've asked me to look for pix for you? :tongue:

And what do you mean by "without having seen *ALOT* of other *THINGS*"? :?

[jayx8318x]

And what do you mean by "without having seen *ALOT* of other *THINGS*"? :?

What key words do you search by? :?
Cuz obviously searching for "naked guy" will get you alot of gay porn sites.
I even tried "funny naked guy" but I was afraid to click on the links more than half the time.

[vunsin]

Actually, I just got lucky. I was searching for snowboards when I came across that pic. :sweat: I was going to search for snowboards and naked bodies separately, and I did the snowboard search first. :tongue:

[wackycashew]

:lolabove: haha vun... breaking down the process, i see... :rolleyes: smart choice to go for the snowboard first. :bleh:

karen, what would you have wanted your set to look like? :? :shifty:

jenna, they rung my doorbell last time when they dropped off the CDs and just propped it against my front door (inside the screen door). =0 i know it's just a local distributor who drives by to drop it off. i hope i'll get it tomorrow. :worry:

[vunsin]

Yeah... I figured snowboard would be safer. :tongue: Save the, um, exciting part of the job for later, you know... :whistle:

[macdawn]

Funny, when I did a search for snowboarding, I did not come across THAT particular pic...... Are you sure you really used "snowboard" for the search word? :brows:

Hi north american fans! :wave:

I just listened to Jay's album yesterday and I find myself listening to Se7en's album more. :shy: I'm quite disappointed by how the ballads turn out, especially Jie Kou. I wasn't at all touched by it, like how Jay's ballads do. Though I was impressed by his vocal prowess at Stranded, I have to hold my breathe everytime he reaches that high note. I love the sound layers though...Wo De Di Pan, Jiang Jun and Qi Li Xiang has the best sound layers for me.

I haven't gotten my copy yet from YesAsia. I hope I won't get tired of the album before I get the original. :blush: So far, I haven't feel that need to listen to it. Though when I do, I feel happy. Right now, I'm loving Duel of Trapped Beasts. I appreaciate how Jay used the palm mute sound. I can't wait till he plays the guitar live.

okay, hehe. when I read about karen's post about the album, I just to insert my thoughts here.

I wish I could fly there on Jay's concert *still wishes to win the lotto*

[Pugwash]

BTW it's funny to say, but I'm getting tired of Jay's new album. I think the hype was too much now after listening to it, and realizing it's not *that* great, I'm almost burnt out.

I think I'm going through the same phase, just maybe at a slower pace. :cry:

I feel the 10 tracks going by really fast and I feel like switching to another album just that, I CAN'T!!!!!

I do agree that maybe the hype was too much. I mean.. having to go through the many previews, the getting QLX off the radio stations etc.

Hey Kahel, have you gotten to Yuan You Hui yet? That HAS to be the best track on that album :cry:

[kahel]

Hey Kahel, have you gotten to Yuan You Hui yet? That HAS to be the best track on that album :cry:
Yes, I thought that one was pretty. Especially the backing vocals. :happy: It's my last song, I always find myself singing it.

Are you guys saving up for his concerts there? I really, really wanna see him live. :cry: I'm having a hard time deciding where. Taiwan is much too expensive for me.

[Pugwash]

Sweetness!

It depends where it is! If It's somewhere I can bus to (24h maximum), than maybe. Otherwise, most likely not.

I think the prices will be outrageous.. I also think that they'd sell out really fast. :)

[macdawn]

Hey Kahel :wave:

Can i just butt in here? I had exactly the same feeling when I hear GeQian (Stranded), I was like just holding my breath everytime he reach that bridge part....... I just can't get that part out of my head..... :drool:

I think the album is still okay, I think it is different, yet still the same quality. Can't say I am sick of it yet.

-MacDawn

[jakinni]

Makes me feel :cry: when you guys say you're sick of the album already. :cry::cry:

Anyway, feel like not enough hours in a day these couple of weeks. Got 2 exams at the beginning of next week and this week still have to run to school whenever possible to work on the lab portions. Too bad can't bag a microscope and lug it home. (Someone did that last year and they ended up with zero on the exam. :tongue: ) But on top of that, still gotta finish up my applications (the essay!!!) and try to squeeze a couple volunteering hours in there. Though might not be able to get that done before sending the applications out. :oops: I even called and tried going to some place to volunteer my services, and only to find out when I got there already that they THOUGHT I wanted their services instead of just wanting to volunteer. And then they're like no we don't accept volunteers. :glug: Bastards. Become so heartless when they've made it, no consideration for poor students. :-x

Don't even have time to translate some good stuff I see. :sweat: Good thing there are some good news translators coming out these couple of weeks! Hope they keep it up :D

[vunsin]

*phew* I'm glad I didn't have to read through 10 pages of new posts from this thread, since I didn't come here at all yesterday. I was too busy! :sweat: This is just nice. :whistle:

Anyhow, you guys were complaining about how I love Jay less than you do. But guess what? I'm the slow and steady type. :rolleyes: At least I don't go through mood swings like you guys do! :whistle: I'm still crazy about the album. :tongue:

p/s: macdawn, maybe you need to be patient? :rolleyes: I think the pic was on the 12th or 13th page or something. Or maybe even further. :rolleyes:

[jayx8318x]

Jay's US west coast concert has been confirmed to be on December 18th!!!!!!!!!!! :excited:

Too bad I can't go!!!!!!!!!!! BAH it's on my graduation date... :cry:

I'm banking on the east coast concert, hopefully that's not just a rumor, otherwise I'll miss Jay once again, and have to wait another 2 years to see him!!

(December 25th is also a Saturday! So it's highly likely)

[kahel]

YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY!!!!! :excited:

The grandkids from the US are not deprived after all!

karen how likely is it that your graduation date falls on the 18th? :cry: I feel for you. :console: but anyway, it's still good news. gong xi, gong xi.

anyway, dec. 25 is christmas, will your parents allow you guys to be away from home to watch jielun?

argh....we are deprived *hides* :cry: we're only a few degrees below taiwan...wei shen me jie lun...wei shen me?

[jayx8318x]

argh....we are deprived *hides* :cry: we're only a few degrees below taiwan...wei shen me jie lun...wei shen me?
lol I'm 22! Just like you...I don't think my parents care anymore how I spend my Christmas. :D
It's not like we do anything special anymore though, it's the same ol same ol. Besides, the chance to spend Christmas, and possibly New Years in NEW YORK!!! It'd be a nice graduation gift none-the-less. Although I have to find people who are willing to go with me AND willing to spend the $200-300 for VIP tickets...which I know will sell out fast!! But I mean if I'm gonna see Jay, I wanna SEE Jay...that is, close enough to see the pores on his face if possible!

You should come to the states too!!

[Pugwash]

O M F G.. The one year I don't go to Orange County, California is the year Jay goes to LA to do a concert. Damn, I wanna see him in concert so bad!

Lets see where the location of the east coast concert is. Maybe I'll take a bus there and rent a hotel for a night with friends and we'll head back since it'd be X-Mas break. I mean if it's after the West Coast, then it's a good chance a group of my friends could do it. Of course, we'd be 17 and money wouldn't come so easy for us to travel there by train or bus and buy VIP tickets.

And.. screw X-Mas. This would be the best way to spend X-Mas!! This could be my one and only opportunity to see JAY... LIVE!!!!!!!

[kahel]

hehe. my grandmother who's very traditionally religious would not talk to me for a month or so if I go to see Jielun on Christmas Day. But come to think of it, I think she'll understand.

New York, Dec. 25...let me buy tickets to the lottery and test my luck. :laughing:

I'm still waxing whether I'll go to Malaysia, Singapore or HK. of course I'd want VIP tickets, closer to the pores kind of tickets too. :bleh: It's good I have equally crazy over jielun filipino fans to accompany me on that. we'll have a banner, and little philippine flags (yes, we had a meetinig on this. :laughing: )

Although I have to find people who are willing to go with me AND willing to spend the $200-300 for VIP tickets...which I know will sell out fast!! But I mean if I'm gonna see Jay, I wanna SEE Jay...that is, close enough to see the pores on his face if possible!

I remembered what you said about his skin being as smooth as a baby's bum. Imagine being close to that, with sweat trickling over his face while he sings soulfully. I'd have to get someone to hold me back or I'll forget whatever education I'll have and grab him. :laughing:

You'll have north american members to accompany you!

[jakinni]

I think I have no luck for the West Coast one, since it's so far away and I'm already going deep into the negatives with all the application fees this year. :cry: I HAVE NO MONEY!!!!!! The best I can hope for is the New York one, and even that, still!! But I soooooo want to go. I've never been to a concert before. How pathetic am I? Never had an artist that I was be willing to fork out the money for I guess. But this is JAY!! And Christmas in NYC!!! :excited: That'd be so great, that is if I don't have to think about the costs. Plus I've applied to 3-4 schools in the New York area and what if I get interviewed there, or at all of them in November or January? To go back again?? :cry::cry:

[vunsin]

I don't know. I think it'd be almost the same price for plane tickets whether I go to California or New York. And I know they'll be expensive in December. :oops: But if enough of you want to go to either one, I'll probably try my best to go too. I'll be having winter break then.

[Pugwash]

We should all have seats that are nearby or hopefully, close together and we can hold this long ass banner that says Jay-Chou.net :D

Block everyone's view!!

[msv]

That's so mean Pugwash!!! I'd be hella piss at whoever would block my view from Jay! I pay to see him and see him I will even if the mad banshee inside me has to be unleashed and a few airborne punches occur!!!

............. But it would be nice though.

[jayx8318x]

OMG vun vun you have to go!!! NY is definitely more expensive. I checked out the hotels and they're so expensive, more so than LA. The plane ticket is the same for me to either one. But it's hotel that's a killer.

[vunsin]

Hey... roche lives in NYC, right? :whistle: Anyhow, I'll go if enough people go with me. And I actually used to have a friend who had many relatives in the NYC area and I used to be able to stay with them for free everytime I go there, but the guy I was seeing cheated on me with her, so we're no longer friends. :dry:

[jakinni]

So quiet here these days.

Anyway, it's funny seeing Maisee's banner/avatar set around these days because that's that character from Final Fantasy right? Moogle? I thought it looked familiar but it wasn't until I saw a few of you talking about it in some other thread that it jogged my memory. Heheh, that's the game my bf has been obsessing over for the last while and he kept on telling me how cute this character is and wanted to buy me the game so I can play too. It's Final Fantasy 11 right? Or 12? The new online one. And I've been like "yeah yeah, later". :rolleyes: But only to see that it's quite popular here at jc.net too! :D So is it really worth my time? I always say I don't need another thing to be addicted to, but if it's fun, I'll give it a try after my classes are over and all the other stuff are sent off. Afterall, what else am I going to do during my bumming around year? :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

Quiet is correct! I was the last person who posted, before you did! And that was two days ago! Where's everyone? :unsure:

Don't ask me whether Final Fantasy is worth your time...cuz I'm a FF freak! I love that series. I bought a PS2 just so I could play FFX (and since it also had a DVD player..why not?). Moogles appear in the older FF (pre FF7). But they make their biggest appearance in FF9. They're everywhere! And oh so cute! I love the traveling one, I can't remember his name (Stilken or something), but after I played the game I looked everywhere (on eBay too) for the stuffed animal version of him. But they were freakin expensive! They don't really appear in FFX, they're only Lulu's doll weapon, and not as cute at all cuz they were dead (or voodoo) version moogles (x's for eyes). I haven't (and never will unless it's free) play FFXI so I dunno if they show up, and in FFX-2, they just make a cameo. But it's FF9 where they're most prominent (and cute!)

edit: I found him! His name is Stiltzkin!
http://www.ufocatcher.net/hatsukoiplush/stiltzkin.html
He wears like some kind of traveling army fatique, with a bandana, it's so cute!

[vunsin]

I know absolutely nothing about Final Fantasy except for the fact that Faye Wong sang Eyes On Me. I don't even remember which Final Fantasy. :sweat:

[msv]

Its Final Fantasy 8 Vun and Squall Leonheart deserves to be spanked by me cause he's drop dead HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!! But not hotter than Tidus cause that boy AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :drool: :drool:

Aight, I'm done drooling over these guys now *wipes drool with kleenx*.

[jayx8318x]

I'm soooooooooooooo scarred!!!!
I'm really picky about people's teeth! And OMG my worse fears...
Jay has jagged teeth!
http://cakeru.image.pbase.com/image/32576239.jpg

:crazy:
I'm gonna send him some nail files for his birthday next year so he can file those bad boys down to a smooth finish

(can't shake that image from my mind!!! GAH!!)

if you look closely at tidus and squall you will notice it's squall with blonde hair and slightly darker skin lol. I'm a final fantasy freak i love that game series! the character design is the same! ^_^

And i do agree with you squall and tidus is hot!

[vunsin]

:laughing: I'd never paid attention to Jay's teeth before this. :rolleyes: You should see my crooked teeth. I once had braces on (for almost 2 years!), but after that I got lazy and almost never wore my retainers. :cry: Now I think my teeth look worse than before I had braces! :oops:

[msv]

Oi... I know... Jay's teeth aren't the best!!! If you watch his older MV's like "perfectinism" when he smiles, you can see how little and jagged they are. >< And in Quiet Boy's banner he has a gap on his two front teeth!

I want to get braces because I think I need braces *sigh* but I'm scared of pain. :cry:

[vunsin]

Well... I HAD to get braces because I had so little space on my gums for teeth, but my teeth are so freaking huge! I had maybe 6-7 teeth pulled out already before I got my braces, but it still looks pretty crowded in my mouth!

[Phalanix]

Hmm.. what happened? Everything got quiet all of a sudden... :unsure:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Hi guys, I'm 2002. :wave: I've wanted to contribute to this thread before but I was really scared to but now I'll join if I'm welcomed.

So the thing you guys are talking about now are braces? Some people think I need braces but others don't think I do. They're pretty crooked, uneven and I need more space but it doesn't look that bad... at least I don't think so. :shy: :oops: I was told if I got braces I'd have to wear it for about 3-4 years! :cry:

Maisee, I heard that at first it might hurt for the first 2 days or so or even a week but then you get used to them but I never got them so I wouldn't know. :? But I also heard it doesn't hurt much if you get them when you're young.

Wow vunsin, did it hurt pulling so many teeth out?? :crazy: I was told I had to get 4 teeth pulled out and I was already scared. :cry: :oops:

[vunsin]

kai: The better question is: Where have YOU been?! :rolleyes: Anyhow, I was gone for a week, and yesterday, when I came back, I saw I was still the last poster! :crazy:

2002: Of course it hurt, but I could tolerate it. I mean, I have four tattoos. :whistle:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Wow vunsin you are one hell of a strong person! I remember I fell during soccer well more like slipped :shy: and I couldn't even speak because I thought it REALLY hurt. :cry: How much did you get your braces for? You have 4 tatoos!? Wow... you get some good nerves.

[Phalanix]

vun: Oh, life's been keeping me pretty busy lately. But I've been lurking around here and there. I didn't say much in this thread cause you girls post too fast for me to catch up! :tongue: But now things have slowed down, I can jump in! Woo hoo! :-)

2002: Welcome, welcome!! Hello fellow Ontarian (if that's a word)! You're in the GTA too, right (from what I gathered in the Canadian thread). :wave:

[vunsin]

2002: I have 11 piercings too. :laughing: I donate blood. And I have a 4-inch scar on my stomach and a 2-inch scar on my left temple. :laughing: My braces only cost me the equivalent of US$125. :tongue:

kai: You even missed our first ever theme week! :-x Anyhow, I thought you abandoned us because you joined SA. :cry:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: :shock: Oh my gosh! 11 piercings is not really a shock to me but along with all that other stuff?? It's getting hard for me to breathe just to be hearing all this! :dead: Wow, you got your teeth fixed for just that much?? So that's like what only $250 Canadian? That is soooo cheap!!! :excited: The cheapest braces that I know of are $2,500 Canadian and I might even need a more expensive one if I get them. :crazy: Don't think I will though. :tongue:

Phalanix: Yay! Thanks for the welcome! :wave: So you've been spying on me in the Canadian for eh? Hehe, kidding. :D :tongue: So you're from Ontario too? Toronto I'm guessing? Well it just feels good to have another Canadian around here. :happy:

[Phalanix]

2002: Yeah, I like to stalk girls - as vunsin can testify. And this place makes my job so much easier! :brows: I'm in Mississauga, what about you?

vun: Whaaaaaaaaa? Abandon you and Maisee because of SA?! Neeeeever!! :hugz: I missed the first theme week? D'oh! A thousand pardons! :bow:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: Haha so who have you stalked? :rolleyes: kidding. I live in... somewhere in Ontario. :tongue: :angel:

Wow this thread used to be so lively, what happened?? :? Where's Maisee? I used to see her on all the time. :worry:

[Phalanix]

Well, didn't stalk too many - only Maisee, vun and kahel. :shifty:

And now that you're "somewhere in Ontario" maybe I'll try and stalk you too. :brows:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Ok Phalanix, you're starting to freak me out . :cry: You didn't really stalk them did you? :? Well anyways, I just have a question about Missisagua, are there a lot people living there? I heard the population was pretty small.

[Phalanix]

Awe, don't be scared - I was just teasing... I don't stalk people.

Mississauga, small population? Noooooo way, about 650,000 people. One of the best places to live if you ask me. :D It's got a wide range of cultures here, lots of things to do too. Though living here for as long as I have, things get boring and we run out of places to go. Sometimes my friends and I go down to Scarborough or Richmond Hill cuz there are more Asian places there. (and a lot of cute asian girls) =p

[jakinni]

Hello hello boy and gals! Welcome to the thread 2002 and welcome back Phalanix and vunsin!!

Yes let's make this thread lively again. Maisee will be gone for about 1/2 a month since she's moving and going to take some time to adjust and get internet connection back. It'll be much lonelier here without her around, but let's give her a surprise and be on page 20 by the time she gets back! :excited:

I've been...busy is not the word, preoccupied I guess? I've been job hunting, sending out many resumes. Today I went into a dental clinic to do some shadowing, and it was quite interesting though kinda boring to be standing around most of the time. But I did see a few root canals and tooth extractions. Interesting indeed and glad that I wasn't put off by seeing the inside of people's mouths. So it looks like dentistry will be a fine path for me. :-)

I've also got a call for a job interview today, for Monday. It'll be for a medical receptionist. Gah, all my years of science courses at school aren't really coming in handy now, but a job is a job and I'm willing to work at any job to earn some money this year. At least it is still related to my field. Anyway, hope I do a good job at the interview and it'll make up for my lack of experience. Yup, that's my day today.

[Phalanix]

Good luck on your interview Jenna! =)

Speaking of job hunting, I should really start sending out my resumes again and look for work. I've been out of work for way too long. I'm starting to forget everything I've learned from school/work. So you're doing something with dentistry? Hmm, I can't stand going to the dentist, all the picking and drilling and the paaaaaain, the paaaaaaaaaaaaain!! *lol* Well, lucky for me my teeth are near perfect. :angel: No adjustments needed.

Hmm... getting to page 20 without Maisee around is gonna be hard! Well, something to strive for so she'll have a nice surprise when she gets back. :wink2:

[jakinni]

Yeah, I'm applying to dental school for next year, so that's why the year off right now. For me, I think forgetting everything at school won't make much difference since I don't see it coming in handy unless I do something research related or work as a lab technician. I hate job hunting, I get inferiority complex when it comes to it because I have so little experience in things. So I understand how it can be so easy to slack off when needing to find a job, keep saying will send the resume tomorrow and another day goes by. :rolleyes:

Pain? Maybe your dentist isn't that good! :laughing: Have you thought about the fact that it shouldn't hurt if he gave you the right dose of anesthetics and stuff? :whistle:

[Phalanix]

Oh, I know what you mean. I don't know how long I've been procrastinating. *lol* I keep telling myself, I'll do it tomorrow, eventually it gets to the weekend and I tell myself, "I'll start fresh on Monday". Monday comes, "I'll do it tomorrow..." *repeat cycle* :angel:

Employers now-a-days want all applicants to have experience. Thanks - how are people going to get experience if no one hires them? This is where co-op programs come in handy, I'm so glad I got into it. At least now I have some pretty big company names in my resume... mwuahaha :shifty:

Well, I don't really mean the dentist cause me pain - I was just referring to feeling of dental work make me feel painful. And the sound of that screeching tool makes my head hurt. :crazy: Bleh, I'm not making any sense here... do do do... :worry:

[jakinni]

Another thing that contributes to procrastination is trying to fix up the resume, and actually tailoring the resume to the different jobs. I really hate that because I feel I've either got nothing to write for it or the stuff I do have don't apply to the job at all. Plus I really hate it when I have to change things around and in the process accidentally made a little error in the resume, but don't realize it until I've already sent 5-10 already. :oops: It'd be something stupid like formatting or writing a qualification twice. :oops: There goes the "attention to detail and organized" part I raved about in my cover letter. :sweat:

Hehe, I gotta admit, I don't like going to the dentist myself. :tongue: But with more interaction with dentists at my shadowing, I can see that it's not so bad, it's not as scary as I'd thought. Plus, what's more important than your teeth? You can lose an arm or a leg and still be fine, but without teeth, survival becomes a problem. :-)

[vunsin]

kai didn't stalk me. :rolleyes: He just professed his love for me in a public forum, that was all. :angel:

jenna: Hey, good luck with everything! :wink2:

I hope I'll be able to come here in the future... I mean, there might be some drastic changes in my life in the next couple of weeks, and that will include not having DSL connection. :cry: Well... that's like just a small part of the problems!

[Phalanix]

Vun: I know!!! :hugz: How did I ever live all these years without you? You are my sunshine and it pains me whenever I have to part from you in this forum. :cry:

Jenna: I understand the thing about editing resumes! Grrr... one little mistake and it messes everything up and all the indents get screwed up! *lol* But what I hate most is writing cover letters - soooooooooooooo annoying. :dry: Hmm, well if I loose all my teeth, guess I'll have to start eating through a tube. hehe

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Wow, I only haven't been here for like a few hours and I'm already lost! :wacko: I think you guys will be able to get to 20 pages, without my help because I'd get lost easily. :shy: :tongue:

Phalanix, nice to know you don't really stalk people. :happy: Sorry, I get real scared by that kind of stuff. :cry: :worry:

I hate going to the dentist, it always seems to hurt. :oops: No matter what anyone says about it not hurting and stuff, I've stopped believing them after my 1 visit to the dentist. Is this what we're talking about or something else?? :? I'm really lost. :wacko:

[Phalanix]

2002: haha, welcome to my world! It's so easy to get lost in this thread, especially when Maisee is around. Hmm, why would you be scared about stalking? Bad past experience or something? *lol* Don't worry, just get yourself a Helper Monkey - they can do just about everything! :brows:

2002: It really depends on our mood, I guess. :laughing: Sometimes when all of us happen to be active and bored at the same time, we could post up to at least 20 pages a day. No problem! :tongue: But the funny thing is, all of us also usually happen to be inactive at the same time. :rolleyes:

kai: I'm your sunshine? :rolleyes: Do you know how to sing that song? :tongue: Anyhow, I actually enjoy writing cover letters. What a legitimate way to BS my way to something. :whistle:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: *Sigh* Let's just say I've heard a lot of those stalking stories. :cry: But anyway, yeah we both get lost in this thread a lot don't we? :whistle:

vunsin: I've noticed that! This thread just got slient all of a sudden and I'm like, "this isn't normal is it?" because it always had new posts everyday err... every 10 minutes. :wink2:

[Phalanix]

2002: Yeah, I guess I can understand why you'd be scared - especially when there are so many stories lately of girls getting attacked, even in broad daylight. But generally, 'Sauga is much safer than TO. Just remember never to travel alone! :wink2:

This thread is dying down because Maisee is away, hehe...

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

You mean Missiauga right? I didn't know it was that much safer there. :? well anyway, they show alot of that kind of heat-breaking stuff on T.V. Like the recent Cecilia Zhang case! :cry:

Oh yeah, is that your picture on the display?

[Phalanix]

Well, I think Mississauga was rated the 4th safest city in Canada - and being the 6th largest city in Canada, I'd say that's pretty safe. As for that Cecilia case, it was sad but it's rare. And yeah, that's me in my avatar... if'ya ever see me at PacMall or something, feel free to come say hello. *lol*

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Whao... never knew it was that safe. :crazy: But yeah that case is rare I guess. Haha, if I ever see you I wouldn't know what to call you I'd be like "Hey you! Guy from jay-chou.net!" :shy: :angel: Or I could call you by your username but I don't really know how to pronounce it. :? :oops: Besides, I think I need a better picture since you did do some work on it.... I think. :whistle: :angel:

[vunsin]

2002: Every 10 minutes? I don't think so! It used to be so active that everytime after I'd posted something, I realized there were 3-4 new posts between my post and the post that was the last post before I started writing my post!

[Phalanix]

vun: oooh, I remember times like that. It was crazy, we stayed up so late at night and the posts just kept on coming. o_O Was crazy trying to keep up!

2002: Well, you can call me Kai (Chinese name) or Peter (English name), doesn't matter. My friends call me both. And the picture, didn't have that much editing done to it, I only made it B&W and used the 'sketch' tool. Not much difference.

[vunsin]

kai: :laughing: Yeah... I remember I told you guys that I'd go to bed and it was around midnight at that time, but I just kept saying that and posting more until like 5am! :laughing:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: You're kidding me right?? Whao, so that's how part 3 came up so soon! :D
kai: I think you'd be like "Whose that "kid"?" :? Lol.

But I thought there were more people here and not just you 3?

[vunsin]

2002: We went throught Part 2 in about a month, I believe. :laughing: We were all just bored at that time, I suppose. I'm much busier now!

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: Wow that was quick! :crazy: 1 month!?! Whao I guess you guys really didn't have much to do. :D Yeah I could tell you're more busy now because I remember before about everytime I was on you'd already be on. :D But now you're not. Well school's starting soon for me so I won't be here much. :cry: Aww... I never really got a chance to hang around this forum/thread did I? :oops:

[Phalanix]

vun: yeah - it was so hard to leave during that time. Cuz everytime you post "goodnight" someone will have already posted something else, and you just wanna contribute some more. *lol*

2002: :D That's true, I'd be like - "who're you?! o_O" But deep down I'll be thinking, "hey cool, someone knows me!" hahaha

I guess we had lots to say before cuz we were bored and it was summer, and people didn't have much to do. =p

[vunsin]

2002: Yeah... one month. :laughing: Seriously. :laughing: I was surprised too! I had a hard time catching up too! I'd come back after 2-3 hours to find at least 5 pages of new posts! :wacko:

kai: So you're saying that was my fault? :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

vun: Your fault? How can it ever be your fault?! Do you have any faults?! N'aaaaah!! :bow: Well, I was just saying it was hard to leave - I was in the same situation, I say goodnight, but still stayed a few hours more. *lol*

2002: Just curious, how did you come up with the idea of 2002 as your screen name?

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: I think I might actually be thinking this "Is that him? Or is that another guy? " :wacko: Then be like staring at you because I don't know if it's really you and you'd be like. "What the hell are you staring at!?" :realmad: Hehe well 2002 was an awesome year for me and I loved the movie 2002 with Nicholas Tse and Stephen Fung in it. :happy: But I guess I just added all the spaces and sparkles because it looked cool? I think thats why. :?

vunsin: Whao in that case, I might end up asking you where we were everytime I come back so don't yell at me... please?? :cry: :oops:

[Phalanix]

2002: Ah, I remember that movie... it was entertaining, hehe. *lol* Hmm, how about this, if I ever find someone staring at me for the longest time, I'll go up and ask "Are you 2002 from JC.net"? :)

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: You know that movie too?? Yay! That's like one of my favourite movies! :excited: Whao, not sure about that I mean what if there's this other girl who just wants to flirt with you or something then you walk up to them and think they're some one else?? :shy: It'd be pretty funny if there's like 5 girls staring at you at once and you're like "Hmm... which one?" Hehe, sorry sounds like I'm teasing you. :oops: But yeah, that is a really good idea. :happy: Where do you usually hang around in Pacific Mall?

[Phalanix]

2002: 2002, that's the movie where the two are partners of a special police (ghost) unit, right? Hope I'm thinking of the right movie. Well, as for girls that stare at me and want to flirt, never happens. hahaha :D Where do I usually hang around in PacMall? Hmm, pretty much walk around everywhere - I usually go on Saturdays though. *lol* Next time you go, you can tell me ahead of time and I'll just stand at an entrance all day and you can stare all you want. hahaha :tongue:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: Yep it sure is! :happy: I usually go on Saturdays too! :D Haha, there's far too many people at the entrance to actually see you though. :D It'll be especially awkward if your friends were there too. :shy:

[Phalanix]

2002: That's true - but I could always tell you what I'd be wearing. Or heck, if we are actually gonna meet, I'd just give you my cell phone number and state an exactly time and location to meet. Why make things so complicated?! :rolleyes: My friends are nice though, they don't bite. You can bring your friends along too :drunk: and we can go find us a full restuarant and wait in line. :rolleyes: *lol*

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: Haha, I don't think that day would will come though. I hardly go.

Also when did this thread become so quiet?? Where's vunsin?? :? I remember I'd ALWAYS see this thread at the top of the list. Now it's just in the middle... :oops:
What did you guys used to talk about here? Hehe lots of questions. :tongue:

[Phalanix]

2002: Yeah, that day is not likely... *lol* but let's see. What did we talk about? Argh, I don't even remember! So many things, debate on what msv's real gender was, theme week, school, work, wondering which group I was to join, etc. And a lot of general nonsense that seemed logical at the time. hahaha

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Phalanix: Yep, not likely but who knows. :D Theme week eh... we never did have a Canadian week did we? :? Or if we did I missed it. :cry: :oops: Wow, that is quite a bit to talk about. And you guys made it seem like A LOT more with all the posts you made! :D :whistle:

[jakinni]

Theme week? I think we may hold off on another one for awhile since we had one for this thread not so long ago. And some people kinda had trouble getting their sets together, so the next one we have we won't make it so demanding. In fact, didn't we kind of agree on it being a "favourite noob" week? :shifty: But it won't be for awhile yet, need a break, so stick around 2002 and Kai for that!! :D

I had the job interview today, it was fine, but the pay sucks ass. :cry: Anyway, I got another interview, but I have to call them tomorrow to set the time. Unfortunately it's kinda far and inconvenient by public transport, in Concord, and I kind of really want to go to the interview tomorrow in fear of them hiring someone else before I get my turn. But my insurance on the car doesn't come into effect until Wednesday (the 1st), so I'll need to bum a ride off of someone tomorrow if the interview is indeed tomorrow. :oops: I don't like doing that because no matter how reliable others are, it's better to rely on yourself to get to places and on time. I've learned this from being late 1/2hr to an exam before!!! :sweat: But once again, they don't disclose the pay in the ad, so hopefully I won't get a bad shock.

See, who says we don't have much to talk about now? We can just all talk about me! :whistle:

And it seems when the thread title says "Ontario" it actually just means people from GTA and surrounding areas! :laughing:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Aww... I'll be back in school by then :cry: :dry: :-x :oops:

jakinni (Jenna I believe right?), you sound like such a professionally, intellegant, mature, bright and postive girl yet your profile says you're 22! :excited: Most 22 year olds I know are the party, careless, still teenage like people who don't really care about that kind of stuff. :dry: Well good luck in your interview tomorrow (if it's really tomorrow)! :happy:

Hehe, maybe next time we should write Southern and Midwest US + GTA Canada Fans Who Love Jay. :whistle: But then someone new might be from somewhere else and wouldn't know if they could join or not. :shy:

[Phalanix]

Jenna: Didn't it use to say GTA but changed to Ontario? I can't remember - but might as well change it back to GTA. We're so much cooler! Plus, this is where all the action is in Ontario, all the other places are meh!! :laughing: Favourite n00b week? Hmm... that'd be me then. Cuz eeeeeeeveryone just love me (pfft, yeah right)!!!

"Phalanix? Who's Phalanix? What a weird screen name! FREAK!'

*lol*

Hope everything works out for your next interview. Concord, huh? Ouch - that's far for public transit. :crazy: But not so bad if you're driving, about 20-30 minute drive from GTA depending where you are. If you're reaaaaaaaaally desparate - I can help drive'ya if you want (I know that sounds freaky), but I got nothing to do anyway - so if you're really stuck, I wouldn't mind helping'ya out. Feel free to PM me if'ya need help. In any case, best of luck on your interview! :D

2002: Heeeey, what do you mean people in their 20's are partying careless teens?! *lol* I feel so old. *hits head* Maybe it's cuz of school? Hmm - I don't know! But I feel old, like my life's over already. hahaha :laughing:

[jakinni]

2002, hmm really? I kind of think of myself as one of the "not so together 22 year olds" :sweat: I mean others are doing grad school or med school or whatever school or they're out of school and using their degree FOR something instead of it just being nice decoration under their names. *sigh* Maybe I just need to get this first job to feel like I'm not totally wasting my time. And does your parents restrict you from the internet after school starts? That never happened to me way back when. Or is it just your super powerful willpower and self control? :happy:

Kai, maybe for the next thread part, we'll just quietly switch it over to GTA! :whistle: Hehe and thanks for the offer of being my chauffeur! :D Actually I've kind of warned a couple of people about the possibility of my needing their help tomorrow, so hopefully that'll work out. I'm also going to try to call the insurance company in the morning and see if it can start tomorrow and problem solved, except I don't drive that often so hope I'm not too rusty in it. :sweat: btw, do you know if insurance companies calculate fees by month or by day? I mean tomorrow is the 31st, so will they charge a whole month if it starts on that day??? :?

[Phalanix]

Jenna: Yes, we'll secretly switch it to GTA... mwuahahaha >=) Hope everything works out for you tomorrow then - but I'm here as a last resort if you need help, I'd be glad to help. =) As for the insurance, they calculate by day. So depending on when you start, they'll calculate it from then. If'ya end up driving yourself, becareful on the road! Safety first. =)

[jakinni]

See Kai, you're so useful, what with all the volunteering for duties and providing valuable info!! :excited: But really, thanks for the info!!! Yes I will be careful on the road, I think sometimes I'm overly cautious and that makes me doubt myself, like I always think I'm forgetting to check something. :oops: Anyway, so have you started on your job hunt yet?? :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

Jenna: Well, normally my info is just full of bs, that's about it. :tongue: But as for driving, I guess the best thing to do is to just "drive" the car and not to worry too much. Be alert, but not worry... =P Important thing is to check blind spots while changing lanes, and don't forget to signal! >=) Speaking of insurance, I find it unfair that males have a higher rate. No offense to women drivers out there, but from my experience majority of the horrible drivers on the road are women. Too bad there are so many stupid punk boys who like to race their ricer Honda Civics. :dry: Yah, thanks for ruining the insurance rates for the rest of us good drivers. Bastards.

:shifty:

[jakinni]

Kai, wahaha!! My bf drives a Honda Civic but he'd rather die than to say his car is riced. :laughing: As for which gender is the worse driver, I don't know, you've got to compare between slow/annoying drive to aggressive/annoying drive. Which is worse? Which causes more accidents? :unsure: But for sure the accidents that are caused by aggressive driving are usually more severe than the former.

[Phalanix]

Jenna: That's true, that's true! ^_^ Guess I was just speaking in terms of general driving. As in, horrible lane changes, cutting people off, not signaling, people who don't obey traffic signs, no courtesy, etc. And what annoys me the most are people who drive, and no matter what they just have to drive at the speed limit, if they go over 1 or 2 km, they keep hitting the brake to slow down back to the limit. -_- Stop hitting the brakes, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!! Just drive the car!!! :cry: heehee, well there are good Civic drivers out there too - I'm sure your bf is one of them. :rolleyes:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Wow, you 2 are doing a good job of carrying on this thread. :wink2: Erm... guys, I just got lost again. :shy: :oops: :worry:

jakinni: Yes I think of you as the really resposible and all good and mature type. I don't see you as the type of person you just described much except maybe you going on jay-chou.net everyday... :whistle: :D Oh my parents don't take the computer away from me or anything, I just take it away myself (not literally of course!). Not all the time though, I just don't go on as much. Besides, school work will be piling infront of me and I'll hear a clock making that really annoying ticking time for me to finish :wacko: :oops: and ahhh.... I HATE SCHOOL! :-x :realmad: :profanit:

Kai: No... not all, just the one's that I seem to know. But I've seen some really hard-working ones like Jenna as well. :wink2: Your life is soooo not over yet! :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

2002: Ah, the joys of already graduated from school!! Ah, the depressions of being a jobless bum. :dry: *lol* My life's not over yet - I know, but it sure feels like iet right now. I need to find a new purpose.

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Kai: You sure got that right, I hate school to bits. :-x Shouldn't you be job-hunting like Jenna then? :?

[Phalanix]

2002: I guess I'm not as mature and responsible as Jenna! *lol* But you're right, I should be job-hunting. I've been out of work for a few months now and was planning on looking for a job. But sort of lost track due to issues with my ex-gf. :oops:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Kai: Oh well sorry about that but I hope you can find one instead of just staring at the computer all day. :D

[vunsin]

You guys ALWAYS do this to me!!! I was busy working the whole day yesterday so I didn't come here, and now there are 3 pages of new posts! :rolleyes: Anyhow, I was so tired last night I couldn't even fall asleep, because my body hurt! I worked from 11am to 11pm, and work involved moving hundreds of long tables and thousands of chairs, and throwing away bag after bag of heavy garbage! It was our biggest annual school event, the Bronco Bash. It's the annual welcome back "party" for all students, but everyone in the community is welcome to attend. There are free stuffs like T-shirts, pens, cups, etc. and also vendors selling food. It's fun. But tiring to be there for the whole day.

Anyhow, where were we? :whistle:

[Phalanix]

Vun: heehee, we become active when you're actually busy, huh?! :tongue: Well, you didn't miss much - last three pages was probably only me flirting with an underaged girl. hahaha :laughing: Hope you get a goodnight's sleep today, I hate it when your body's too overworked and though you want to sleep, you just can't seem to do it. So weird...

As for where were we? I have nooooo idea. Start a new topic! :D

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: Wow, that is A LOT if stuff to do! And for such a lon time too. :oops: Well at least you had fun but the pain must be killing you (or was by now).

Kai: *Ahem* RIight... :rolleyes:

I have no idea where we are either. :? Last thing I remember was Kai and Jenna talking about cars? :wacko:

[vunsin]

kai loves older women and underaged girls. I get it now. :rolleyes:

Well... I think I'll survive. :laughing: I felt restless just now, because I'm not doing anything much today, so I went to the gym. Now I'm kinda hungry. :tongue:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Haha, good to know you're still full of so much energy vunsin! Gee... just the 4 of us here? :worry: I thought there were more people here before? So... why don't you guys tell me of the "olden" days? :D

[vunsin]

Nothing much to tell, actually. We were just bored and talking about everything under the stars. In the beginning, there were only me, jakinni (Jenna), and msv (Maisee). And then some other people joined us for a while. But now it seems it's just me most of the time. :depresse:

[jakinni]

Hello, it's me again. Today I went on the second interview for that job that pays next to nothing. The person who interviewed me was really nice and basically wants to hire me. Except there are two openings, one is in Mississauga and it's full time, one is in Downsview but part time for now. She asked me to check out the Mississauga one tomorrow and see how I feel about it, so I agreed. But now I look at the map....:dead: It's so far away!!!!!!! I don't know if I want to travel so far just for the measley dollars. Plus my parents don't want me to go that far either, they're not too confident in my driving abilities I guess. :tongue: Well, I guess I'll still go tomorrow and check it out.

I'm also going to do a few days of training(they check me out, I check them out) for this other medical clinic, the doctor who talked to me was very nice. However, it's only part time meaning maybe 2 full days of work a week. I want to do this job because it pays better and I think I'll get more of the kind of experience I want in this one, but I don't know how it'll fit in. So that's also swaying me to pick the part time location of the previous job.

Then, I also have an interview tomorrow morning for this note taking service, they pay pretty well, except it's kind of an on-call thing, so can't rely on that for food money. I figured that'd be nice to do on the side. So yes, I'm really hoping to fit all 3 jobs in, just not sure if I should choose the full or part time one in the first job offer.

Are you guys bored of reading my daily report everyday? :laughing: I feel hectic and I haven't even confirmed or started any of the jobs yet. Must be what vunsin feels like all the time with what seems like so many jobs all the time. :sweat:

September has started, and it feels weird to not be preparing/gearing up for school. I went to Walmart and Staples today to get some office supplies and it's strange to be amongst all the people getting back to school stuff.

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: Aww... you feel lonely? :depresse: Well I'd love to stay but school is starting soon so I can't hang around here much anymore. :cry: Plus, I think I'm kind of boring. :shy: So... I guess Kai is the only person here to keep you company for the time being until Maisee comes back. :whistle: :D Since I think Jenna is pretty busy, well from reading all the stuff she writes here at least. :wacko:

Jenna: Wow, you are like just... wow. :glug: You're so hard-working! :-) You're job-hunting, going to many interviews, going back to school (I think...?). Good luck to you in your interview err... or is it interviewS? Heh, sorry I kind of got lost after reading your report. :sweat:

[vunsin]

jenna: Hey, as long as you come here everyday, I can't complain! :rolleyes: School has already started for me, and I'm having a hard time making myself start on my reading assignments. :sweat: Man... that's what 4 months of summer vacation can do to your brain. :sweat: Anyhow, all the best in everything, okay? :wink2:

2002: Hey, you can't complain about being busy! :rolleyes: I go to grad school full-time and I have 4 jobs! :tongue: Anyhow, I think kai is busy too. *sigh* Everyone's leaving me. :cry:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: Wow, you are VERY busy yourself! :glug: Well we're not really leaving you, I mean you're busy, I will be busy, Jenna is busy, Kai may be busy, it's more like we're leaving this thread. :cry: :oops: I think only one person can save this thread and accompany you now, Maisee, but she's still gone! :cry:

[Phalanix]

vun: Me? Busy? Yeah right... if I was busy why would I be here flirting wtih 15 yr. olds?! :laughing: But don't worry, I'll never leave you!! :hugz: You're just the coolest moderator on the board! Well, seriously speaking I'm not too busy at the moment, I'm still a bum at home. But I've been out quite a lot lately, get some fresh air, check out the girls *grin* and to loose some of that weight I collected during the past 3 years sitting in the college's networking lab. :dry:

Me need job - wanna hire me to do something? *lol*

Jenna: Not bored at all by your daily reports - it's actually motivating me to do some job hunting! hahaha, really though - you are very impressive. I don't know you all that well, but I'm finding you very admirable. :D

[vunsin]

2002: I hope everyone comes back soon. At least post in here once in a while. I don't expect this thread to go like it used to before, but at least there should be some daily activities!

kai: If you want to work for free then I'd be happy to hire you. :rolleyes: I need money more than you do! :tongue: And hey, chasing after girls (I mean literally) might help you lose weight. :whistle:

[msv]

well I'm glad to see this thread popping back to life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I made my move, got settled in and just started school. Course I need to get my schedule changed and all but other than that, things are the same. Hmm.... don't really like my relatives but hey! free rent, what can you ask for more? :rolleyes:

are we talking about cars? huh. I have no ideas about cars so I'm going to go "lalala" and play with my pink moustache and wait till I come back to lurk around here again.

[jakinni]

Maisee!!!!!!!!!!! :hugz: So is this just school internet or have you gotten internet access for youself at home? Get back on quick so we can resume our regularly scheduled programming of trash talking. :rolleyes:

vunsin, must be tough to be back into the school mode. It was already tough for me having time off between the spring and summer terms. I think all during the summer term, I never fully got back into things, a lot of slacking off. Anyway, I hope this WHOLE year being off won't screw me over once I go back to school next September (fingers crossed). How do you find time to have FOUR jobs!?!? :glug:

Kai, admirable? :blush: All actions borne out of necessity. I'm actually a very lazy person, if I didn't have to get dressed and go out, I'd lounge around all day in bed or infront of the computer. :tongue: Sometimes I'm so lazy I wish there was TV screen on the ceiling so I don't have to crank my neck when watching stuff. :whistle:

2002, don't get lost in here, it's not so bad actually, only a page or so of new posts at a time at most. You should tell us some stuff about yourself too. Like what's your name since you know ours. :-)

Today I went to the med clinic for "job training" and OMG this was like the most slave driving doctor's office I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!! First of all, there's usually ONLY ONE receptionist for 2-3 doctors. The doctor wants the receptionist to double book patients (ie. more than one patient booked at each appointment time slot) plus they take all the drop-in patients because they're so damn greedy. So at any given time there'd be 5-6 patients lined up in front of the counter waiting for the receptionist to put them in queue. It's like no time to sit down at all since it's constant flow of people. But on top of that there's phone calls to be made and files to be filed back. Actually today is supposed to be one of the "not so busy" days, plus there's me and the other receptionist there so it already cut down the work load. And everything's so disorganized because it's so cramped in there and actually no time to be organized. I'm seriously reconsidering working here, but it's hard to get experience in a doctor's office otherwise. I dunno.

[vunsin]

maisee: You don't want to talk about cars? How about saying hello to me?! :cry:

jenna: I need the money. :sweat: Actually, two of the jobs are volunteer jobs. Anyhow, I took like two years off after I graduated before I started grad school. It was kinda hard at first. And weird.

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

vunsin: Well I think I'll be able to post like once in a while. Not too much though. About maybe once a month? I guess it depends on the work they give out.

Jenna: Ha well uhh... I actually really appreciate it if everyone here continues to call me 2002. :sweat: :wink2: As for details about myself? Umm... I think I'll be a "mystery' person for now.

Maisee: Hey! :excited: Glad to see you back, hope you can hang around more even though it's my turn to disappear now. :worry:

[vunsin]

2002: Well... I just hope people will come here once in a while, at least. :rolleyes: It'll be sad to see no new posts here day after day, you know. :oops:

Anyhow, I just found another job too! :excited: I'll start babysitting a few kids soon. :D

[Phalanix]

Congrats, vun!! I'm still job hunting ... look at me, look at me! I actually started job hunting! *lol*

[vunsin]

Thanks, kai. :D Well, I just found myself a fifth job. :tongue: Oh well... money's tight and I'm going to grad school! :rolleyes:

[msv]

hehe, vun vun, I admire you so much. Dont' know how you can pull off another job. :kisschee: and I didn't forget for: HELLLO MY CHICK A BOOM A LICKY TOCKY POOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how's my trash talker Jenna faring? Shall I makest thy lady's a pie to slumber off that giant call procrastination and "i miss MSN screw you public library??

Kai kai... how is my buddy doing? Has he been mooning at the lakes lately?

And Linda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy have I missed you too!!!!!!!! I haven't seen you in forever!!!!!!!!! what have you been up to aside from banging people's head off with chairs???

anyways, I'm just so happy to see things bursting to life in this thread once again! :cry: <--- this is out of joy.

-edit-
babysit kids?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[jakinni]

Mwauahahah 2002, it looks like your name is revealed after all! :shifty:

vunsin, another job!?! :sweat: How many hours do you average at each of those jobs? I'm just wondering how you have time for anything?!

Maisee, public library? :oops: I tried logging onto jc.net one day at a public library and it was like torture, slow and everything loaded up funny. I hope you're settling in fine. Any dirt on the relatives?! :shifty:

Kai, Woohoo job hunting!! Any interviews yet? :excited:

Today I went to this other job "interview/training" thing. Basically I think they want to hire me, told me come in for the full day again tomorrow. Except I think I shouldn't have told them I'm considering going back to school next year, makes them a little hesitant. It's just a data entry job, but it pays well and more relaxing than the other doctor's office job. It's 3 days/week, but maybe if I don't do the other job, I can do 4 days/week for this one. If they hire me that is.

[vunsin]

Is 2002's real name Linda? :shifty:

Anyhow, it's not like I LOVE working myself to death. I just really need the money. :sweat: If I don't work, I'll starve and become homeless. Literally. :sweat:

[Phalanix]

Maisee: Yup, been mooning the lakes, people on the streets, people driving by, just about everybody! hehe Oh.. but still, sooooooooo lonely without beloved Maisee around! :cry:

Jenna: So far no interviews yet, but there may be some sort of job opening for me at a financial firm. I'm looking into that at the moment. Mmmmm, I can smell money... :shifty:

Vun: Oooooooh, so we find out 2002's real name, huh?! :brows: Mwuahaha, excellent - now onto Phase II of my stalking plans. Thanks Maisee!! :hugz:

2002: :brows:

[vunsin]

kai: Well... there you go. :rolleyes: You do get rewarded for visiting this thread often. :rolleyes: But now I can't have you all to myself anymore. :cry:

[Phalanix]

vun: Of course you can! Hmm, let's see...

Monday: I'm all vun's.
Tuesday: I'm all Jenna's.
Wednesday: I'm all Maisee's.
Thursday: I'm all kahel's.
Friday: I'm all 2002's.
Saturday-Sunday: Reserved for stalking other girls. :brows:


:laughing:

[vunsin]

Geez... What about holidays? What about our rights and benefits? :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

vun: Well, for holidays, I get rotated around between you girls, so that way it'll be fair for all! As for your rights and benefits? Hmm - you'll get me all to yourself, what more can you ask for?! :whistle:

Um...and yeah, can I get some rep points from you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I'll give you an extra day! Oh, how about, Saturday? :brows:

[vunsin]

Um...and yeah, can I get some rep points from you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I'll give you an extra day! Oh, how about, Saturday? :brows:
Have you noticed my sig? :rolleyes: Well... I'll think about it AFTER I get the benefits. :wink2:

[Phalanix]

Vun: I saw your sig, but I don't know what "begging" means. :blush: But hey, you're the GREAT VUNSIN, so you'll get them benefits whether I get rep points or not! :brows: Since the others aren't around - I'm all yours for now!! Aren't you a lucky girl!!! :hugz:

Hmm.. I wonder where Linda went? Did I scare her off? *lol* Come back!!! :cry:

[vunsin]

:laughing: I think she gets scared pretty easily, unlike me. :tongue: I've met so many REAL perverts online you're just a timid little mouse to me. :tongue:

[Phalanix]

Oh, I'm probably just a timid little mouse here, but I'm probably the biggest pervert in real life!! Uh oh... nosebleed, brb! :oops:

[vunsin]

:hmm: Are you being serious or is that supposed to be a joke? :glug:

[Phalanix]

*lol* It was a joke... :cry: online humour sucks.

[msv]

OH SNAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT PIG FARTED????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :excited:

oh Kai Kai, I get your humor but I do fear for your nose. Last time I took a toothpick and cleaned Barbie's nose with it. :rolleyes:

*sigh* I'm soooooooooooo STRESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with schoolwork. :cry: Its only the 2nd week and already I'm stress and tired with everything already!!!! I want a bannana float *sigh*

btw, I just got done reading my romance novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: And I swear, only 65% smut this time!!!!!

[vunsin]

kai: I get worried when people mention nose bleeds. :sweat: I used to get them almost everyday when I was a child. :oops:

maisee: Romance novels? :rasp:

[Phalanix]

Maisee: 65% smut? I thought you told me 45% smut? Hmmm... :hmm: But, why do you need to clean Barbie's nose? o.O

Vun: Hope you don't get nosebleeds anymore - I find them so annoying and sometimes it takes forever to stop. :oops: Lucky for me, I don't usually get nosebleeds - only when Maisee beat me up. hehe

[vunsin]

:laughing: You should forget the SM then, kai. :rolleyes: It's not good for your health. :rolleyes: Anyhow, I don't get nosebleeds anymore, thank goodness. They stopped after I'd undergone puberty. :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

But vun! I soooo want to forget the SM - but evil Maisee won't let me go!! Help!! She's an animal!! :chain:

[vunsin]

Haha... That reminds me of a joke. But it's in Malay. I'll try to explain it.

Guy A: Isteri aku garang macam harimau.
Guy B: Isteri aku hari-hari mau!

Translation:
Guy A: My wife is fierce like a tiger. (tiger = harimau)
Guy B: My wife everyday wants! (hari-hari = everyday; mau = wants)

Well... it sounds funnier in Malay. Anyhow...

[Phalanix]

*lol* Lucky Guy B - I think. I'm sure it's funnier in Malay - these type of pun on words are always funnier in its original language. =P

[vunsin]

Yeah... some jokes you really can't translate. :tongue:

But hey... a guy could kill himself if he has a wife like that though. :rolleyes:

Alright... it's bedtime for me. I have 3 jobs tomorrow. :sweat:

[Phalanix]

Well, I don't think the guy will have the chance to kill himself. Actually, the wife will probably have killed him already... kekeke

Yup, bedtime for me too. Goodnight! :wink2:

[vunsin]

I guess it really depends on the guy. Not all guy are crazy for sex, you know. :rolleyes:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Hey guys! :wave: It's been a while but I'm back, for a bit. School is a killer, I don't think I'll be able to come much anymore. :oops: :cry:

Maisee: Gee... thanks... :dry: :worry: Hehe but yes, I miss talking to you too! :wink2: School... school... oh and did I mention school? :rolleyes: :dry:

vunsin: Well congrats to you for getting another job! :happy:

Kai: Again with the stalking?? :? :oops: When will you stop? :cry: :worry: Yay, finally job-hunting eh? Good luck in finding a job. :wink2:

Well guys, I guess this is my last message here for a long while. :bye: But maybe school won't be THAT much of a killer and I can get back here sometimes to visit.

Oh and can you guys go back to calling me 2002? I'm more used to it. :happy:

[vunsin]

2002: Hey, welcome back. :D I see so many emoticons in your post. :tongue: Well, have fun in school, and don't miss us too much. :tongue: We'll be plotting behind your back while you're gone. :whistle:

[OLive_aNN]

Guy A: Isteri aku garang macam harimau.
Guy B: Isteri aku hari-hari mau!
:roll:
hahahahhaa lolz. i can understand it!

i'm just dropping by to say have a great weekend!!!
i'm in hamilton, ontario right now. i'm gonna stay here (in canada) for about five years. :tongue: sooo... is there anyone living in the same place with me? :tongue:

[vunsin]

Welcome, welcome. :tongue: Where are you originally from? I'm assuming either Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, or Singapore. :tongue:

[OLive_aNN]

hehhee thanks
hmmmm i'm originally from indonesia =)

how's your weekend?
im stuck here in my dorm because we can't go out after 12. ><;; so i always spend my weekend with my laptop. TT so sad! ^^;

[vunsin]

My weekend? Well... it's 1:34am on Saturday morning. Technically. I don't know. :rolleyes: I guess it's not too bad. So far. :rolleyes: I have to work everyday though. At least I won't be too broke. :tongue:

You get locked in at midnight, huh? :laughing: Well... what can I say? You're 15. :tongue:

[OLive_aNN]

My weekend? Well... it's 1:34am on Saturday morning. Technically. I don't know. :rolleyes: I guess it's not too bad. So far. :rolleyes: I have to work everyday though. At least I won't be too broke. :tongue:

You get locked in at midnight, huh? :laughing: Well... what can I say? You're 15. :tongue:
ohhhhhh :oops: darnnn...
yessss im 15
but 15 year old girl also want to have fun! :sweat:

it's 1.45 now. i'm gonna fall asleep soon ^^;;

[vunsin]

Yes, a 15 year old girl can have fun. Within limits. :rolleyes: There ARE things that you just aren't supposed to do when you're 15. I was 15 once too. :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

2002: Welcome Back! Yup, I'm still doing the stalking thing... hehe Hope school won't stress you out too much, but then again, that's what school is for, right?! :D

vun: And what did 15 yr. old vunsin do? Hmmm... :hmm: hehe j/k

OLive_aNN: Hi! Welcome new victim! Er, I mean, friend!! :wave: So, you're in Hamilton, huh? Don't worry about having to stay in, there's not much to do there anywayz. *lol* I can't say I'm close to you, but I'm in Ontario as well... :P

Edit: Oh, just saw your pic in the pictures thread, big mistake letting a crazy stalker like me know where you are and what you look like! :laughing: mwuahahaha.... you're cute. :brows:

[vunsin]

kai: When I was 15, I climbed trees, got into fights with boys, and had the Vanilla Ice hairstyle. :rolleyes: All my friends were boys too. :rolleyes:

[jakinni]

:welcome: OLive_aNN!! Darn, now we can't change the tread title to GTA fans for the Canada portion. :tongue: Anyway, I've actually never been to Hamilton even though it's relatively close, unless you consider passing by it count. Is there anything to do there?? All I know is some people go there to go clubbing, but not much else. Sorry, I have preconceptions when it comes to cities smaller than Toronto. :laughing:

Yes, we know vunsin was quite the tomboy! Hehe, Kai, I think she's saying don't try messing with her cuz she could've kicked your butt even back when she was only 15. :whistle:

Moooooo Maisee!! Come back come back wherever you are.

2002, alright we'll call you by the number. :rolleyes: Don't be too stressed about school, I mean I wasn't even so busy that I couldn't come and slack off a bit here everyday back when I had university. :tongue: So, don't sweat the small stuff ok? :wink2:

[Phalanix]

Jenna: Welcome back to you too! Been busy lately, huh? Haven't seen you on in awhile. =)

vun: Hmm, don't worry - I'll never try to mess with you! You'll probably kick the living crap out of me as Jenna said. :laughing: You're too tough for me... :cry:

[OLive_aNN]

vunsin> :tongue: You were very tomboy!

jakinni> there's nothing to do here. :sweat: all my friends go to toronto to hang out. i've been to toronto once to visit my aunty.

[vunsin]

:laughing: Yes, I was such a tomboy that my mom thought I might even be lesbian. :rolleyes: She asked me if I were! :rolleyes: Have I mentioned I know Taekwondo, btw? :tongue:

[Phalanix]

vun: Taekwondo? Awe, more the reason I should stay away from you! *lol* Actually, what belt are you? I got up to a black stripe before I quit. I should've continued though, I feel so stiff now. Been sitting in chairs far too much. :tongue:

[vunsin]

Black stripe? :hmm: Do you mean Black belt? :glug: That would be pretty high! Different schools have slightly different belt system, I think. How did yours work?

Actually I'm still a white belt. :laughing: I've only taken 5 classes so far, but in two weeks I'm going for my first testing. :D

[Phalanix]

Black Stripe would be 1 level below black belt. Basically I had a red belt with a black stripe on it. Let's see, I think the ranking went as follows for my school:

White
White - Yellow Stripe
Yellow
Yellow - Green Stripe
Green
Green - Blue Stripe
Blue
Blue - Red Stripe
Red
Red - Black Stripe
Black

And then you have the different degrees for black belt... =P

[msv]

meh meh heheheheheheh vunvun's my slave mwuahahhahaha. Ok ok, I'm sorry. She kill me and butcher me and throw me out to the puppy shrine to eat cause she's gritty and mean and tough and will do voodoo on your tushy if you piss her off enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shifty: (psst, give her a cookie and she'll be nice to you!)

Jenna oh how I missed you!!!!! I can't get on MSN at the moment cause of the public library but i"m thiking of getting dial-up soon right after I stop at target, get me an AOL disk and ask for my relative's permission. I'll just say its for educational purposes (which it really is too!)

kai...... when is your birthday? Random but I'm wondering.

[vunsin]

kai: That's almost the same as ours. But we don't have any stripes. I mean, we don't call anything stripes. Here's what we have:

White
Yellow
Yellow-Green
Low Green
High Green
Low Blue
High Blue
Low Red 4
Low Red 3
High Red 2
High Red 1
Black Belt (9 degrees)

Some schools have purple somewhere, I think.

Anyhow, you should be pretty good. :tongue:

maisee: You're back again! :excited: :hugz: But what was that ranting all about? :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

Maisee: OMG, stalking me again? hehe My b-day is on the last day of the first month. WB, btw! :hugz:

Vun: Purple? Hmm, never seen purple in taekwondo before - I see it in karate though. But yeah our belt system is pretty much the same. But I quit quite a long time ago, so I'm no longer anywhere near "good". I'm so weak and fragile. Maisee bullies me.. :cry:

[msv]

when I'm moody I ramble random things that I don't understand too.

and I do not bully you Kai. That one time where I slammed your face for the wolves doens't count. I am of loving nature. Haven't you read my bio huh? Well at least you guys have a chance to learn some form of martial arts (awesome by the way!) When I was 8-13, I had to take traditional asian dance class. It was good with the flexibility and culture experimentation but geez, I just hated the girly girl habits that went along with it and the girls gossiping about pointless stuff that wasn't even smack. :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

Maisee: Hehe, of course you don't bully me! :hugz: You're such a loving, loving girl!! Took traditional asian dance class, huh? And.. and, so you're flexible, huh? :brows:

[vunsin]

My mom made me take ballet when I was 3. I quit after one class. :rolleyes: I'd always wanted to learn Taekwondo, but my parents wouldn't let me. But now nobody can stop me! :devil:

[Phalanix]

Yeah, I don't know why parents love to make their kids take all sorts of lessons - most of the time we as the kids don't like them. *lol* Though some of them are good skills to have on the side, such as drawing and piano (in my case). Really great way to impress the girls... :brows:

[vunsin]

I guess many Asian parents want their kids to be as "smart" as possible so they could compare them with their friends or relatives' kids. :rolleyes:

Anyhow, they should've let me take Taekwondo classes when I was younger! My master and the other black belt people in my school tell me I have potential and that I am a natural!!! :-x

Btw, kai I think bassists and guitarists are more impressive. :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

Potential, huh? Natural, huh? Remind me to stand at least 5 ft. away from you should we meet in real life! :laughing: Bassists and guitarists, huh? I can play a little bit of guitar... :wink2:

[ladie_fia]

:excited: Ah, Remember me?

If you don't I don't blame you. But I'm glad to be back even though I had to re-register because I haven't gone on JCNET for a while due to lack of internet. If it hadn't been that then nothing could have kept me away from Jay. It's nice to see you msv. :wave: I'm glad to be back.

[vunsin]

kai: I'm not that dangerous yet. :rolleyes: I'm still a white belt, and I've only attended 5 classes so far. :laughing: But I can't wait for my first testing in less than two weeks! :excited: Btw, drummers are cool too. :wink2:

ladie_fia: What was your nick before this? :?

[msv]

I'd love to date a musician muwhahaha. Iono, something different and fresh. I like geeky guys though oddly hahaha, especially when they're hot too and they're geeky. *swoons* (that was not sarcasism)

hey goay? right? was that your name before or something like that? Welcome back! Its great to see you agian! I have no internet connection too! I'm stuck at the library! but thank god for JC.net chatroom.

[vunsin]

:lolabove: maisee, what did you do to Jay?! :roll:

Actually, that's kinda sick. :sick:

[jakinni]

Maisee, your banner :oops: We know you appreciate Pei and all, but that's not the way to show appreciation for her or for Jay!! Is that supposed to be Jay-sailormoon edition? :laughing:

gaoy, welcome back. But I think you have people in this thread confused. :sweat: I'm Jenna and I didn't clean up the member list, I think you're probably referring to Karen (jayx8318x), our admin extraordinaire. Hey you speak French? :excited: French is one of the official languages of Canada and I still know squat despite having taken it up until grade 10. :sweat:

vunsin or Kai, whichever answers first, how is it to get to different colour levels in martial arts? Like how long does it usually take on average? Obviously the higher you go the longer it takes, but just wondering.

Anyway, I found a new job, I start Monday on that one and it's finally a full time position, Monday to Friday, 9-5. :yeah: The one I'm currently at is only 4 days though the pay is a little better than the full time one. So it's a trade off I guess. Oh well. I'm really sick of the job hunting, just want to settle on one and go with it for at least a period of time.

[Phalanix]

Maisee: Hahaha who's your lady friend? :wink2: Wanna introduce me to her? heehee
Jenna: Welcome back! :hugz: Well, it really depends on the school you're with. Some places schedule tests at a regular basis, and you take the tests (spar and do your 'patterns'). Then I guess your masters/instructors will grade you to see if you pass. If you do then you get moved up on the belt level. So, how fast you move up depends on when you have the tests and if you are good enough to pass the tests. Well, that's how my school did it anyway. And as I move up higher on the belt level, I also had to memorize more patterns and perform them during tests.

And congrats on your new job, Jenna!! ^_^

[vunsin]

Jenna: Those "patterns" are called "forms" in our school. :tongue: How we take the test is basically the same as what kai has explained to you. If your master think you're good enough to be promoted to the next level, he/she will recommend that you take a test at the next testing date.

Hey, new job? :excited: Congratulations! :D

[vunsin]

What do you mean pronounce R's the Chinese way? :glug: I don't think there's any difficulty. It's just like English. It's a little harder in Spanish, with the double R's, but there's nothing extraordinary about it in Chinese. :sweat:

[msv]

I love saying the spanish r's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: It feels as if I'm giving my tongue good excercise hehee.

Jenna, congrats with the new job!!!!! :kisschee: dude, I probably can't catch you on MSN anymore with your schedule and mine's (and I have to get internet in the first place hehee). This whole relationship with you guys here feel like a summer romance mwuahahhaah. :tongue:

French... ooh I dropped out this year. Took 5 years of french and didn't learn much except for some grammer stuff, how to say my name and identifying clothes. Last year, the teacher made us sing french kiddy songs half the time. >< Horrid horrid.

Kai.. what the heck are you talking about? Are you talking about goay? Well goay, meet Phalanix aka my student in training. :wink2:

PS: Sailor Jay was born out of boredom. hehee, I swear, each time I see vun's banner I stop for a bit and just glance at it cause it makes me feel all peaceful and stuff. :tongue:

[vunsin]

hehee, I swear, each time I see vun's banner I stop for a bit and just glance at it cause it makes me feel all peaceful and stuff. :tongue:
Let's just say your avatar makes me feel the complete opposite! :oops: It's sickening. :sick:

[msv]

geez I feel hurt hehe. I like my avatar... I always wanted to see how Jay would look like as a true blond with thick and long wavy hair. :tongue:

I have some sort of attention span when it comes to avatars and banner sets anways so I'll take it down when I'm done amusing myself. Go Sailor Jay in the name of Jayism I will punish you! mwuahha.

shoot I called my dad and left a message on his cellphone about the internet connection thingy but he hasn't responded back and I know he checks his messages. Eergh, I've had it waiting since i"m not very patient too so I'm just going to go ahead with it and when the bill comes, "dad... I told you about it." :shifty:

[Phalanix]

gaoy: I think I've seen you a couple of times before as well, though never really talked to you. hehe But, hello! Welcome back!! :waves:

Maisee: As for your lady friend, I was referring to your beautiful lady picture in your avatar! :laughing: hahahaha She's hawt!! <3

[vunsin]

maisee: But you gotta use the right type of wig, dear... :rolleyes: That one makes Jay's head look fat and short! :rolleyes:

gaoy: Don't tell me you think Jay's pronunciation is perfect. :sweat: Seriously, if you're trying to learn Chinese, don't learn it from Jay. :sweat: Anyhow, NOBODY pronounces the Chinese "r" as "rrr" unless they're trying to be funny. :sweat:

[vunsin]

gaoy: Are you talking about the "Beijing accent" where they exaggerate the "r" and "sh" when they talk? :laughing: Actually, I prefer the "Taiwanese accent," which is more "plain" and the words are pronounced more clearly. :laughing:

[msv]

hehe, I like the Beijing accent. It takes me back to those days when I was still a kid and I use to watch classical chinese movies where its all romanticized and the chinese people trying to break away from Britian (most of the plot was, always made me so proud cause I'm a sucker for those type of movies). :tongue:

I'm in a good mood guys!!!! I just heard utada hikaru song "exodus 04" and it reminds me alot of my parents (who are in arkansas) so just makes me miss them haha. :tongue:

hey vun, didn't you say you had a job babysitting too? How is it so far? :excited:

-edit-
gaoy are you going to prom???!!!! You are a senior right?! or am my memory acting up on me?

[vunsin]

maisee: I have no idea what type of movies you're talking about. :tongue: Anyhow, the kids are so cute! :excited: The little girl is 2-1/2 and the little boy is 1-1/2. They're just so adorable. :D And they're so energetic they give me a good workout everytime. :tongue:

[jayx8318x]

haha I dunno what movies msv is talking about either...sounds interesting :hmm:
you know..Utada's album takes getting use to. When I first heard it, I was totally put off cuz the lyrics were either too corny, or too abstract. But there are some gems in there. And those songs have like so many "layers" to them, it's pretty impressive I think.

Don't remind me..I need a job too as my part time job will soon be no more >.<

I missed this thread :cry:

[vunsin]

Hey, you're back! :excited: I thought you've left us for good. :rolleyes:

Well... I have five jobs. You can have one of mine. :tongue: But wait a minute... I need the money. So forget it. :rolleyes:

[msv]

vun I'm so happy you're having fun babysitting kids. Are they angels??. I know you said cute, but my baby sister Rita (1 years old!!!) is cute but heck, I'd strangled her if I could. :rolleyes: And before she left to Arkansas with my parents, she fell down the stairs (about 5 steps) cause she wanted to go outside. :oops: She didn't cry oddly. She just got pissed and wanted to go outside even more haha.

yes, we have pepfest too. Homecoming is coming up too. *sigh* Of all the 3 years I've been in high school, I've never ever been to homecoming. I plan the dances and the pepfests and stuff but imo, dances are boring and I'd rather catch a movie, go bowling or running down the streets of downtown than be stuck in a room filled with rowdy teens. :tongue: (yes I'm a senior too). Dude I bet you, somehow somewhere I've probably seen you before but just don't know OR you're related to me some how because that's just how hmong people are hahaha. :rolleyes:

hey! I wanna know what you did now muahahaha!!!!!! Don't tell me you threw a balloon at the principal or spiked the juice at pepfest or something! :tongue: please... I'm a curious child.

eeek, I need to start worrying about my college applications and scholarships search so yeah, let's not talk about it. I'm stress haha. BTW, have you seen that magazine (I just found out it existed a couple weeks ago, yes I'm really out of touch), Hmong Teen or is it Teen Hmong? anyways, I think I might send in something to earn extra cash on the side. But the problem would lie in what to write, surely not about the problems of hmong teens and parents and traditional intolerance the youths have now adays to shamanism. I'll just get flame by little thugs going "hmong pride! hmong pride!" I did just apply to a job at a library though. :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

maisee: I love kids and they love me. We get along. :tongue: I normally don't really have trouble with them. :laughing: I started babysitting my little cousins when I was around 10 years old. They even told their moms they loved me more than they loved them! :rolleyes: Obviously, their moms weren't too happy about that. :tongue:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Hey guys, remember me? :angel: :wink2: Haha, it's been quite a while since I last visited here and it looks like you guys are doing mighty fine here without me. :D So how has everyone been? School has been pretty hectic since day one for me. :oops: :dry: I'd responde to your posts but I wouldn't know where to begin. :D Well just thought I'd drop a message to show I still remember you all. :happy: Hope you guys get the jobs/money you're looking for. :wink2:

[Phalanix]

2002: Welcome back! Though, I think I should say the same for myself.. *lol* I'v been away for awhile as well.

How's everyone doing? Okay okay, I'll be honest, I was too lazy to go back and read the posts at the moment. ^________^ I don't know why, but all of a sudden it became really busy for me. Though now that I look back on it, what the heck did I do this past few weeks anyway?? o_O

[msv]

*sniffles*

my head hurts and its 12:16 am and I'm trying to finsih my essay for history tommorow. *slaps Maisee for procrastinating too long cause now its too late to read her romance novels*

2002 and kai Kai welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!! Kai what did you do? Sleep all day and let the fishes bite your toes? hahahah. :tongue: I'm glad to see you guys are back though!!!!!!

I miss vun vun... she's been gone for 2 days now? (have I been counting right? :tongue:) I Wanna know what she's been learning in TKD since in TOK class the teacher taught us the basic form for karate!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: <-- yeah I'm happy as hell cause I always wanted to learn!

I see stars now.

[Seltsi]

hey~ lol i havent been in the forums since the beginning of summer, just thought i'd check out some of the subforums. I don't recall this thread, so i thought I'd come say hi! (and yeah, i am from midwestern us, im not just a wandering stranger lol) ^^ so yeah whats the current subject? karate lessons? i want to take 'em so bad, but i'm too broke for the lessons, >_<

[msv]

hey Seltsi! Welcome to our thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :welcome: Where are you from in the midwest if you don't mind me asking?

Goa, I can so feel what you're going through! :kisschee: I know how hard it is to speak in all hmong without reverting back to english. Heck, I made my grandma cried once as a kid cause I couldnt' speak all hmong for her. :oops:

dude, I'm so glad you joined though! One of my friend joined the hmoob greenbay thingy just this memorial holiday. I'm going to cheer you!!!!!! I mean back in the past, I really looked at pageants in a negative way because I thought it was insulting for girls to prance around their looks and answer stupid "what ifs" questions that doesn't make logical sense. But once I talked to a couple of those girls, they really are genuine in what they believe. And like you and I who can't speak our language that great, its a good way to come back to our roots hahaha.

girl is alright to be nervous! It's for this new year's celebration no?! :excited: Ok, i'll be the chick in the front yelling "nyob zoo jay!!!!" so you'll know its me when they call you ok? :laughing:

[Seltsi]

ilmao, gaoy and msy i'll admit it, i'm also hmong, so i can totally relate to what u guys just mentioned up there. are u running for the st. paul new year pageant gaoy? (i'm from minnesota, btw) there's always a lot of shady things going on, but good luck on it. and yeah it is harder speaking hmong than english if u've been raised up here, but its also a good experience for improving ur skills too. And all the girls in there aren't necessarily "HTT/MTT" they're just more into the traditional way of things i guess. Don't be too harsh on them! ^^;;

My mom would never let me join it (not that i want to lol) because she has a low opinion of it, but have fun in it! (Oh and whatever u do, please don't say in ur free time u enjoy spending all of it helping ur parents out around the house, b/c half the girls who said it before are so lying! lol)

[Phalanix]

Maisee: Fishies bite my toes? :laughing: You are so cute and so funny... where do you come up with these things?? How have you been? Sk00L keeping you busy?

gaoy: Heeey, good luck on your pageant! Becareful of Maisee.. who knows what sort of wacky thing she'll do when you're up on stage! hehe

Seltsi: A bit late, but, hello! :waves: Welcome to this weird weird thread of ours where Maisee is the star... hehehe :wink2:

[msv]

hehe... seltsi, I've never really had a high opinion on pageants but I think over the years I've learned to be more "generous" towards them and like I said before and what you mentioned: at least it connects us to our roots.

Goa... I wish you the best of luck and tell us when it will be held!!! :excited: (sorry, the only thing I know know for a fact is when the July 4th tourn. will be held hahaha :tongue:)

Kai, you changed your banner set!!! is that you? hmm? hmm? HMMM?!!! :excited: You look buffer than I thought you initially were from those pixs heheh. No wonder you took karate eh?

I'm not the star of the thread... I'm simply the crouchy senile producer in the background, while vun and you guys are the special actors bringing it to life. :wink2:

(we miss you by the way! :cry:)

School's aight... I've been slacking off. >< But after this week, I shall redeem myself and do better ahahha. ><

Kai, how is your apartment moving going so far?! :excited: And vun, what did you learn in taekowndo now? In TOK class, my teacher taught us the basic form/stance! :excited: yeah I was damn happy since I never got a chance to take any form of martial art class before (dance class instead) so that really perked up my day.

ok I know this like is sorta off topic and stuff, but I just got done watching the presidential debate and did any of you guys watched it? Imo if Canada broadcast it or not though. ><

[Seltsi]

Gao: Wow, that does sound a bit suspicious...I guess it's hard to tell this early into the pagaent whether anything shady is really happening, but I'll admit, it's strange. Seems like since he knew them he was willing to grant them a favor and let them enter the pagaent late...so if he's willing to do that now, who knows what he might be willing to do later on? Of course, if the girls are nice according to what u said, maybe they're geniune. I think it's still too early to tell, but just be aware of things.

Nice meeting u guys, Kai and Maisee! lol wow everyone in here sounds like they're all so close and familiar with each other...^___^

Btw, u guys can call me Julia/Shoua, one or the other. :wave:

[msv]

hey I have a friend by the name Shoua too! and Julie! mauahahahah! Welcome to our humble thread and hope to see you stick around! :kisschee:

goa... yeah, with Hmong pageants, its hard to guarantee fairness since most of the judges are either bribed or they vote for their nieces, cousins, granddaughters up there. >< But on the positive side, it has gotten a lot better over the years as people start to crack down and stuff! Anyways, good luck and keep us update on the pratice runs! I should have gone with my friend to Wisconsin when she ran for the pageant there but alas... school is a mighty foe.

hey shoua... are you a junior in school right now?

[Seltsi]

yeah I am Mai See, I'm almost done with hs! LOL not really, but I can't wait for it to end becuase then no more IB classes! >___<

[msv]

wait... you have IB classes too?????!!!!!!!!!!!! :excited: So do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome!!!!! Let me guess... do you go to South or Henry (sorry those are the two hs i can think of at the moment that has IB)

[vunsin]

Well... has anyone missed me? :hmm:

Anyhow, I just moved to a new apartment and haven't quite unpacked yet. I haven't been online for the past one week, because I was busy packing and moving. It was hard doing so in between classes and my multiple jobs! Well... I'm in my new apartment now and I'm sharing a dial-up connection with my new roommate. :wacko: I miss my DSL connection. :cry:

[msv]

I MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:

moving is tough, just take your time and settle in. :kisschee: I know you've had a lot of things going on so no sweat, I'm just glad to see you're back!!!!!! Even if on dial-up (like me! I can only use it late late at night when no one is calling ><) I miss my DSL too. I think I might get the Qwest plan instead of high speed from Time Warner now.

Your presence around the forum has been dearly missed vun vun! the daniel wu thread hasn't been kicking like it should and the "I love Jolin pixs" thread just ain't the same hahahah. I'm just happy you're back though.

How's your new apartment by the way?

[vunsin]

maisee: My new apartment is much smaller and it's OLD. It has only one bedroom and I have a roommate. No carpet, unfurnished, and I don't even own a bed or a mattress, so I'm sleeping on a piece of fleece throw. :cry: I can't afford anything more right now... :oops: Anyhow, it's taking me at least 10 minutes to load a page, read posts, type my reply, and post it! :-x

Hey... I've missed you too! :hugz:

[msv]

Goa.. hehe, I'm not going for the diploma too! I've got too much stuff going on like you said above too! Hey let me know what's up with the pageant alright?! I'm coming to watch hahaha. Though I doubt that I'll know who you are. But good thing I never boo people! hehe.

vun vun.. awww that's horrible but at least you have a roof over your head for the time being! But you'll be so busy with work, school and other things that the apartment will just be a place to sleep, take a shower and eat. *crosses finger*

Yeah, dial up is horrible. I'm using it now and it just takes me forever to get a picture uploaded at photobucket. Are you going to get your DSL back after you settle down then?

[vunsin]

Haha... since I'm practically sleeping right on the floor already, I can just do that anywhere, like in my office, which would probably be more comfortable, btw. :rolleyes: And the bathroom is just NASTY. :bigyuck: Well... so is the floor I'm sleeping on. It has stains, cracks, and something strange (it looks like somebody just puked on the floor and somebody else painted right over it) that I can't wipe off no matter what! Well... since I'm living on campus, I can't get DSL, because the phone service is under the university's name. I can get Cable though. I mean, Cable for TV is free, but for internet, I have to pay $80 a semester. That's not too bad, but I have to get a modem first...

[vunsin]

Erm... why did I move? Long story. To make a long story short though, I used to live with my bf, and I wanted to break up with him, so... Oh well... I'm getting sick of this slow connection, and I'm really sleepy now.

[Phalanix]

Maisee: Heehee, yeah I've gained some weight since I took the picture of my initial avatar. Geez, I think I took that old picture about 2 years ago? Hmm, well yeah I've been working out a lot more lately too. Trying to loose all the chub chubs I gained during college.. haha =P Mm, as for my condo moving, that won't be till the end of November, but I'm now debating wheter to rent it out and just live at home. Get to save some money. ^_^ What've you been up to? Leapfrogging with barbaric fire spiting jungle rats?? :brows:

gaoy/Seltsi: Nice to meet you! ^_^ People aren't really friendly here, we're just pretend friendly. hehehe :shifty:

vun: Long time no see! Hmm, wanna break up with your bf, huh? So that I means I may still have a chance? :D

[Seltsi]

Yeah, I take IB, and I am trying to go for the diploma, so that means paying a ton of money for the exams. I don't know if I'll last the year though, since Physics and Intergrated Math are currently trying to kill me. :oops: Hopefully I survive this year. And no, lol Henry and South are in Minneapolis, where I used to live, but now I'm in St. Paul so I go to Central. Where are you from, Maisee?

Kai: Hahha hopefully that's not true...actually it doesnt seem like it, everyone here seems pretty nice so far.

Gaoy: Sounds harsh, smart of u to take it like a man. Just dont let them see how their provocations are getting to you. Try to improve your hmong in the next month if you can, :happy: and I'll be looking for girl #3 at the new year. LOL, I'm sure ur Hmong will improve by Thanksgiving if u have practice everyday.

[vunsin]

kai: Sure. Send me a completed application form and I'll put you on the waiting list. :rolleyes: Anyhow, I'm in my office now and my supervisor is in a long meeting, so... :whistle: This is such a nice change from the lousy dial-up at home! :tongue:

[Seltsi]

Gaoy: What school did you go before? I bet it was lonely. It just gets tiring day after day of not seeing much of other Asians, doesn't it? I don't really know Mona, but I know who she is. She seems pretty cool. How's practice going?

[Seltsi]

Gaoy: Yeah, I don't blame you on ur view on Harding, and truthfully I thought harding was ghetto too so it never made it on my hs list. Como was my second choice after Central. No wonder I don't see Mona around anymore, that makes sense.

Free papaya and food is always good, but there's a price to pay right? lol but I don't think that things are going too badly from what u say, so I'm sure u can survive the competition. And if the other girls aren't bothered by being herded about, then I guess u should try to deal with it the best u can. I'll admit, I wouldn't like it too much myself. Is the bubble tea there good? I haven't tried them, and isn't the flea market closed? If not, I think I'll take a trip there this weekend. =P

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Hi guys, long time no... see? :D Well it's nice to know you all still come here and post messages. I also see some new members to the family. :happy: Hi Seltsi and gaoy! Sorry for the verrrrrrry late welcome. :shy: I'm the one who never visits here anymore due to school. :dry: You can call me 2002 but I doubt either of you will be messaging to me any time soon. :rolleyes:

So I see quite a bit is going on between all of you, same goes for me. :dry: Hmm... not much I can say besides school is making sure it occupies me completely. :crazy: Well actually it's not THAT bad right now. :tongue: But still, it's pretty busy. Hmm... how come I don't see Jenna here?? I guess she's as busy as I am. :worry: Well hmm... what can I say? I hope you guys do well in school and in job hunting/work. (Oh boy am I ever lost of words right now... :wacko: )

[vunsin]

Well... the old regulars are never here anymore. :worry: I miss the old times. :depresse:

[Phalanix]

vun: Awe... miss me ma??! :D

Sorry everyone, it looks like I've been phasing in and out quite a bit lately. ^_^' All of a sudden, I have so many job interviews, now that I've actually got off my lazy butt and apply for jobs. *lol*

Also, I'm getting prepped to go back to Taiwan in November... wow, haven't been there for like 16 years. Hehe, this'll be the first time I leave the North American continent since landing here. =P Weeeeeee... time for a long excrutiating plane ride.

[vunsin]

Going to Taiwan, kai? Can you take me in your suitcase? :angel: Anyhow, I've only been to Taiwan once, when I was 6. That was 20 years ago! :laughing: Too bad I don't even remember anything about the trip. :cry:

[Phalanix]

vun: heehee, sure! But yeah, I left Taiwan when I was 6, sooooo I don't remember much. And whatever I do remember about it is probably completely different now. =\ It'll be kinda interesting to see what it's like there as compared to my life here in TO. =D

[vunsin]

kai: You were probably 3 when I went to Taiwan. :laughing: Anyhow, I don't think you'd be able to move your suitcase if I were in it. :whistle: Well... I'm sure Taiwan has changed A LOT! :laughing: If you run into Lee Hom, please tell him I love him. :whistle:

[msv]

oh Kai!!!!! If you see Lee Hom, can you also tell him that I love his hair and get me his stylist number? Purty please?

My sentiments exactly Kai haha. I wanna know how the rest of the world is. I read in books and see it in movies all the time, but I guess I can never know what life really is out of america unless I actually experienced it you know?

OMG!!! VUN!!!!!! WINTER IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (after fall ends which will in a month or two!!!!!!!) :bounce: Call me overly excited about it but haha, I love winter and I love snowmans and snowball fighting and sledding!!!!!!!!

[vunsin]

I dream about snowboarding every single day. :rolleyes: Which reminds me of the banner you made for me the other time. :whistle:

[Seltsi]

LOL, Mai See, ur excitment reminds me of one of my coworker's over snow. He just moved up to MN to go to college here from Florida, so he's never actually seen snow before. So today, it started sleeting, and he got really excited. My manager and I were like, you'll get sick of the snow eventually, and he's like nope, never. After he left, my manager was like, when it's 40 below zero and snow up to his waist, he'll hate it. :D She's right, it's hard to adjust to it when you're a southerner. And really, I'm dreading winter myself. I cannot stand the cold. >_<

[roche]

I dream about snowboarding every single day

oh my lord!!!! me too!!!! though i can't decide what to do - ski or snowboard. i'm not too good at either, but i love both!!!! though i guess i'm probably slightly more confident on skis.....
but i tried snowboarding for 2 days the last time i went to the slopes in canada, and i loved it!!! :excited:

when my friends comment about the weather getting cold - i go "good" and get stared at as if i'm crazy. :angel:

[vunsin]

I don't like skiing, but I love snowboarding. I just feel so awkward having to control all four limbs when I'm skiing! :rolleyes: When I'm snowboarding, I only need to concentrate on one thing. :tongue: My friends think I'm crazy too, because I wish for snow 365 days a year. :rolleyes:

[Phalanix]

I used to like skiing... but after falling on my butt so many times, now I hate it. hehe j/k... ooh, haven't gone skiing in a long long time. Maye I'll try again this winter..

How's everyone doing? =)

BTW, I really don't know who Lee Hom is. :shy:

[jakinni]

Count me in in the winter loving here. The cold fall weather is just starting here and I really love the feeling of stepping outside the house the in morning and breathing in that first breath of cold fresh air. Ahh, nothing beats it. Plus I like wearing sweaters and layers and coats and jackets because it feels so cozy! Being inside and watching the a snow storm outside feels really cozy too. I even like shoveling snow (to a degree). :D

So yeah, I'm back from hiatus. :wave:

[vunsin]

kai: Lee Hom is my beloved husband. :whistle: I can't believe you don't know who he is! :rolleyes:

jenna: You're back! :excited: :hugz: I was just wondering what had happened to you! Why don't you come visit me so we can go snowboarding together? :tongue:

[jakinni]

Snowboarding, reminds me of how much sufferin my wrists went through last year when I tried it for the first time. :oops: I'm still suffering from carpal tunnel that developed from my summer fling with jc.net. And you know who's fault that is? Jolin's!!! Yup, I distinctly remember that summer night. I was up late making them damn screen caps of Jolin's First Love rendition and my wrist/arm was hurting, but Jolin's face egged me on to do more. Ever since then, my left arm has never been the same. It feels tingly when I rest it. It was better for awhile, only feeling a bit tired, but now it's back again, especially since I have to type so much at my job. :cry: Thus, the conclusion of my story is that the only thing I can think of to do during my winter vacation would be to rest my poor arm/wrist. Snowboarding then would only be going for the kill. I have no other period of time to devote to arm rest. Weekends are only 2 days and it's not enough. :cry:

[vunsin]

So it was Jolin's fault? :laughing: You have a pretty valid reason to hate her, I guess. :tongue: She's a pain in the... uh... wrists! :rolleyes:

You know what, I'm feeling a little sick, like I wanna throw up, just from reading her name repeatedly in your post!

[msv]

whee I don't have school for 2 more days so time for me to sleep but *doh* I still have tons and tons of school work and papers to write.

I hate shoveling snow, I hate when I get a cold, I hate it when my feet and fingers look like dried grape fruits or when my car doesn't start, but its worth it when a snowball slams into someone and I don't miss teehee. (j/k).

Gao... IMO, I don't like Jolin cause she's fake and doens't have talent? her singing ability isn't so bad, she can hit certain notes and well, look at Britney, she's worser as a singer yet is still ever so popular. With Jolin, I guess she just invites people to insult her you know? Her lips are just fun to make fun of and she assimilates to whatever trend is supposedly popular so she doesn't have her own uniqueness.

Jenna, welcome back! :kisschee: Oh hey, I'm filing a lawsuit against The Twins for wrecking my nerves into utter annoyance and beyong repair for a $10,000 lawsuit... want me to draw one up against Jolin for you?

Hey vun... nice jacket. :shifty:

[vunsin]

I don't have to shovel snow, because I've always lived in apartments and that's part of the management's job. :tongue:

My dislike for Jolin has nothing to do with Jay. I mean, I found her disgusting BEFORE I even heard of Jay. She's just sickening to look at.

Maisee, want to borrow my jacket? :shifty:

[Phalanix]

Oh wow... this place is so quiet now! What happened? =( How's everyone doing? Sorry been away for awhile. But here I am, again! ^_^ Miss me? :brows:

[msv]

Things just haven't been the same Kai kai. Everybody is busy? haha, I know I sure am with school and college applications and stuff. Plus I have dial up only so I'm hardly on now.

wow Vun... I wonder how many "obstacles" you had to get through to get that spanking nice jacket. Must have been a joyous process. Hey, you have shoes for me to match the jacket too? I like to kick deserving things to the curb for fun too. :shifty:

[Phalanix]

Maisee needs a pair of steel toe boots for her kicking needs. =P

Yeah, I'm sure everyone's busy ... plus it's halloween! Time to prance around the street at night stealing little kids' candies. Mwuahahaha :brows:

[vunsin]

Well... I finally have a little free time! :excited: I had a conference here in Kalamazoo from Sunday to Tuesday afternoon, went to my two classes from 3pm to 9pm on Tuesday, and then left for another conference in Illinois State University late Wednesday morning. I just got home this evening, and then I went straight to work at the restaurant! :wacko: And next week I have a mid-term exam. :sweat:

[jakinni]

Wow vunsin you seem really busy! And I mean busy busy, instead of just preoccupied busy, which is me.

Speaking of clothes, I spent $300 on clothes last weekend, and I NEVER spend so much on clothes or go shopping all that much in general. But I just had a sudden urge to buy some "grown up" clothes. ie. not jeans or sweat shirts. Anyway, so I bought this really cute pink (YES PINK Maisee :D ) trench coat type of thingy. And also some sweaters and other jackets. Now I realize the joy of shopping, and actually buying something instead of just looking. Anyway, yeah don't think it'll be a regular thing though, still poor. All the money coming in goes out pretty soon to paying various fees. *sigh*

So anyone has plans for Halloween?

[vunsin]

:laughing: You do need "grown up" clothes when you enter the workforce. :tongue: Before I started my assistantship, I was uncomfortable being all dressed up, but now I'm used to it.

Halloween? I'm at home and studying for my mid-term exam! And I had to work last night and the night before. So...

[supa-twin]

ontario!! i live in markham =) i really like 7LX, Zhi Zhan Zi Shang is a good song! hurray for jay. if only i could go see his concert in LA in december >_______<

[jakinni]

vun, yeah it's scary, I'm like wearing dress pants and dress shirts and pretty sweaters now whereas before, I'd be hard pressed to fine one pair of dress pants in my wardrobe. Oh, and even pointy toe shoes. I was such a platform shoes girl. *sigh* It's the aging process.

supa-twin, welcome to the thread. You'll find a lot of members in the GTA and surrounding in this thread.

[vunsin]

jenna, I used to not even wear skirts, and now I'm wearing heels. :rolleyes: I used to be self-conscious about my body and my weight, especially when I was in Asia, where everyone was skinnier than a pair of chopsticks! Now that I'm older, I'm more comfortable with how I look. :tongue:

[roche]

somehow being in the university setting puts me in a sloppy mode....
i mean, over summer i'd get used to dressing up more, but once i get back to school, it'll be right smack to the jeans and sweatshirts mode for me :angel:
as my friend puts it - its the starving student look.

just to divert the topic away a little....vunsin and all you other potential people who love to ski....where would you guys recommend? decent slopes, decent price? during xmas week....?
its horrendously expensive then, but to accommodate a couple of friends who are working, sigh, we'll have to go during the possible most expensive period ever!!!

[vunsin]

I don't ski. I snowboard! I think skis are just.... kinda dumb. :angel: I don't know what to recommend. I'm pretty broke most of the time and I actually own a car that can't go out of town (i.e. it won't go faster than 50mph, so I can't go on the highway), so I pretty much depend on my friends. Whenever they're free and want to go, that's when I get to go. We usually go to a ski resort that's the closest to Kalamazoo. There are two within 40 minutes of Kalamazoo: Bittersweet and Timber Ridge.

[jakinni]

Present from the government. :laughing: It's actually more like your present to them. Or more precisely, your parents' gift to the government. Congrats gaoy!! :D

Back to the clothing topic (sorry, can't help with the skiing locale), although one would imagine college students as all being sloppy dressers, at least that's what I thought before entering uni, but after entering, it's like everyone is all so made-up. Sloppiness is only reserved for cram/exam periods I think. Otherwise, I tend to people who are dressed up over people who just rolled out of bed.

[vunsin]

gaoy: You turned 18 just in time to vote? :laughing:

jenna: Oh... you'll see people from both extremes. Especially when you're in grad school. Some people dress like they still live in the residence halls (you know, they look like they just got out of bed wearing their pajamas and then decided to walk to class). Others (like myself, who have a "professional job" before class) would dress in their work clothes. Of course, there are those in-between's who wear T-shirts and jeans.

[msv]

I'm the uh... "I just woke up in my PJ's and tshirt, give me an orange and where's my flip-flops" student. I'm getting better though. :blush:

Vun vun!!!!!!!!!!!! Its nice to see you back!!!!! Heard you did some physical activites during your trip!!! :excited: I remembered going to Eagle Bluff back in 6th grade (a camp) and I had to do high rope climbing/crossing. I mean... I wasn't that scared if you didn't count the "I'm going to die!!!! I'll DIE cause I CAN'T swim if I fall!!!" Panic shrieking haha. There was a lake underneath the high ropes. -_-

Note to self: Take swimming lessons.

[vunsin]

:laughing: Yes, I'm back from my overnight retreat. It was kinda nerve-wrecking having to be in charge of 50 college kids! :rolleyes: I survived though. :tongue: And the ropes course was fun. :excited: It was a low ropes course, but next semester, we get to do a high ropes course! :excited: I can't wait! :excited: I don't think it involves any water. :tongue:

[msv]

Omg guys, I seriously have like no holiday spirit. Thanksgiving is coming up and soon X-mas, but I've never been excited about it until now!!!

Ok, I hate Arkansas and stuff, but my whole family is down there but this Monday I'll be going down there for Thanksgivings break for a week!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy cause I'll be riding the tractor and the little ponies (no horses yet haha) and make fun of the chickens!!!!

Yup. I can be an asian hill-billie for a week. :tongue:

Vun I'm so envious of you! You have tons of stuff going on (yeah, I read about the road trip! that's awesome! :excited:)

Aiyoh Jenna, where for art thou?

[vunsin]

maisee: Will you stop hinting at things that I've talked about in VIP? :rolleyes: I didn't talk about them in the public forum for a reason, you know. :rolleyes:

[msv]

Oh sorry vun, I just got excited since my senior class is taking a road trip to Florida and so it just slipped and stuff. :blush:

Do you guys mind telling me about your college application experiences? I'm doing mine's at the moment and deadline is looming and I guess I'm a bit nervous at the whole process and stuff since it isn't like High School where you simply sign up and get in (at least in America).

[vunsin]

It's not the first time, maisee. :sweat: Why don't you just respond in VIP? :sweat:

Anyhow, college application can become a headache, especially if you have no clue what you want to do and where you want to go. And then there are the deadlines... When I apply for my undergrad program, I was still in Malaysia, and then I transferred here, so it was different. And I apply to grad school here at the same university where I obtained my undergrad degree, so I think that made things a lot easier and faster.

[msv]

oh.. I'm truly sorry vun. :oops: Won't happen again. :kisschee:

I think I know what I want to do but like you said, the deadlines and just the process itself is a headache. hey vun, don't you miss Malaysia sometimes? I grew up a good part of my childhood in California and haha, sometimes I get a bit nostalgic when I see playgrounds and little reminders. :tongue:

[vunsin]

I don't know... I think I remember mostly the unhappy times that I had when I was in Malaysia, so... And since I don't really have a home there anymore, it's kinda hard to think of it as home. I don't know... There's really nothing I can do about it. I don't have any close friends in Malaysia anymore. Almost everyone's married and most of them have kids already. I can't relate to them anymore. Sometimes I'd call one or two of them just to chat, and we always disagree about a lot of things. I mean, they've never been out of Malaysia before and I tend to see a lot of things differently even before I left Malaysia, so now I'm even more different!

Well, at least you made a home of some sort here in America and plus, you're furthering your education to boot too. :happy:

I went down south for thanksgiving (which was pretty relaxing and something I really needed) and returning to Minnesota, I had to take the bus back since my dad didn't want to pay $600 on plane tickets. :rolleyes: That was the longest 20 hours of my life.

and OMG, in Minnesota, this dude shot like 6 hunters and wounded 2 people! the news been rampage with the story but they haven't release why he did it. -___- That's just crazy and scary!

It's about time SOMEBODY post in here! :rolleyes:

It's snowing heavily again. I think there's already at least 6 inches of snow out there. I went to Meijer's with my best friend (who came from Chicago to see me) at around 10:30pm. We spent more time talking than shopping (which was a good thing!) and when we were done, it was already around 2am! When we walked out of Meijer's, we were like :glug: because there was so much snow! :laughing: We both love snow though. :tongue:
