Sorry, I know I'm not very creative with the blog titles. But it's either that or "Untitled", and I'd rather NOT settle for the latter.

Wow, it's been almost a month since I've last blogged. I knew I was gonna be busy... but it's only 3 weeks into school and I'm exhausted. But happy. Stressed to tears, but satisfied. I think most people in Schulich feel the same way - they'd rather be stressed albeit productive than bored and not doing much.

School's alright. I'm taking a full course load, but it's not so bad. I actually want to be in class for a change, and it's refreshing. I almost forgot what it's like to enjoy school. I'm taking advanced Chinese, but my Chinese is relatively poor compared to my classmates :( That means I have to try extra hard to get the A... But I love challenges :)

With school and work taking up most of my time, my life feels pretty boring sometimes. I miss the exchange days when I could do almost whatever I want, whenever I want with little consequences. So in an attempt to make my life more "colorful", I've been trying to do as much as I can outside of school/work.

For starters, I entered some contests :) The first one being HBC's "Hey Canada, what are YOU made of?" contest. The winner gets to see the Vancouver Olympics! I am so desperate to go, so please vote for me! :) You need to register and get your account verified before your vote counts though. Please vote for me here! I'll buy you icecream :) I haven't heard from the makeup contest yet, but I will by the end of the week. Will keep you posted!

I'm also taking Korean classes! It's a free certificate course offered by the Korean Consulate, so I thought... why not? :) I made some new friends and it's great! Hmm, what else... Kevin took me to see a Leafs game yesterday. We won, yayy :) Haven't watched hockey in so long, so that was fun!

Will go on a photowalk with Ken this weekend :) Never actually done that before, even though I have so many artsy fartsy photography friends. Can't wait!!

Technically, two.

I'll start with the first one.

So, the other day I was at Causeway Bay walking towards Times Square. I stopped when I saw someone who looked vaguely familiar. It was...... Janice Man. Ah, this is my second Janice Man encounter! I was surprised at how calm I was... Didn't flinch or anything. She was walking with her friend and chatting... There wasn't anyone following her except a single photographer snapping pictures of her every so often... I happened to be in a photo :X I swear, if I ever get a chance to see her again, I'll definitely ask for a photo (but will forever remember my inferiority to her beauty blah blah blah).

Earlier on in the week, Lucy decided to make a visit from Taiwan. I took her to all the hotspots... We had Japanese rice pizza for lunch!

Uh huh. Yeah. Top male singer of Hong Kong.... Eason Chan! We were all so starstruck (okay, maybe only Maggie and Amanda)... We wanted to talk to him so badly but we didn't want to interrupt his meal or anything. So we just sat there and waited... and waited... Until we couldn't wait anymore and we just asked him to take photos with us.

He was such a nice guy! His English was really good too. We chatted for a good 10 minutes or so... and took a bunch of photos.
