Ah geez, I guess it's time for an update. Except there's quite a bit of things that has happened and there's a lot for me to type here. *sigh* this would be where procrastination would start to kick in, lol. so don't mind me if the quality of this blog entry isn't as good as it should be, lol. Anyways, I'm gonna try to put down everything in chronological order.

 

 First of all, I didn't manage to do anything special on Halloween. Even though it should be easier for me to do something on Halloween since HK's more accepting on it nowadays, but still I couldn't do anything because it just so happens that mid-terms tests were about to start then and I had to spent my Halloween night studying. :-( how fun eh...Basically all I did was that I bought myself packs of chocolate, as well as refilling my supply of coffee and those 4.5L bottle of water (which the solo purpose of it is so that I could lift it as if they're weights, lol), just to cheer myself up. I've never spent so much of my own money in a supermarket before, not until that night. Basically after all these years, I've gotten over with the fact that I can't have my holidays in the same way as I would if I was back in Canada. Seriously, for all these years, if I was in Canada, I would have had not just garbages bags of candies but basically all the candy that I would have got for all these years would be able to fill a dumpster, lol. *sigh* oh well, I've accepted reality, lol.

 

 As mentioned earlier about mid-term tests...ugh, they were a pain in the ass. Why? Because they happened at the wrong time and I screwed up. You see, the first week of November is a busy birthday month for me. I have half a dozen of friends and family whose birthday falls upon that week. So in the midst of busy preparing for their birthdays, making cards, buying presents, sending e-cards to those I can't see, I also had to prepare for my tests. And as you know already, I've only been back to school for a month now and I have also been absent from school during the first month. So it was kinda frustrating.
 The birthdays went alright, I did what I could. The tests...ugh. I've got two subjects that were miserably failed beyond the point of being saved and that's French and Chemistry, my two weakest subjects. 9 out of 50, 18% for Chemistry and 23 out of 80, 29% for French...I know, you must be shocked now, lol. For biology, even though I passed but I'm sitll not happy that it's lower than 50%. It was 12 out of 27, 44.4%. Mind you, the passing mark here is 40% and school's especially tough once you get the high years of secondary school.  I mean, if the passing mark is 40%, then you can imagine how hard it is. Like you'll have to be really good to score something in the 80s, or a genius to score something in the 90s or else it'll be impossible, lol. For math, I originally got 49, but I managed to successfully begged the math teacher to give me that extra one point so that it'll look better, lol. For English, I got 45 out of 56, 80%...it could have been better. For Computers, we went over the test questions a couple of days ago and i calculated that I should get around 76% of something, but then again, the computer was a nice guy and you can tell that he went easy on us, so yeah. We had our Physics test the day before yesterday, I placed all hopes on it because it was the last test and the last chance I'll have to pump my marks up a bit, but the test was so hard and there were so many questions and so many calculations needed to make. Clearly the teacher didn't show any mercy on us and perhaps made it harder too, so I can't dare to expect what I'll be getting. Although I said I wouldn't care as much about what happens to me this school year and that I don't expect much, but still I won't allow myself to fall to this low. The other reason why I care so much is because there'll be a report sheet for my parents to see my results...I guess I'll just say that because I've been away from school for a month and just came back for a month now, i missed out a lot and working on catch up. *shrugs* But I must try to stay happy on the little things that made it all better in a way, such as gaining that extra 1 percent for Math, the computer teacher going easy on us, and that the tests are finally over yesterday, yaaay! lol

 

 Finally, today. I would just like to express my thoughts for the significance and meaning of this day. Today is November 11, aka Remembrance Day! For those of you who don't know what is, Remembrance Day is a special type of day observed by Canada, such as well several other nations. It is a day to commemorate the deaths of those who died during the WWI, since the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month was when the WWI was ended. Ever since then, it has served as a day to also commemorate all the sacrifaces that were made in all wars. So it's quite meaningful in a way cause it's like a day where you're inspired to think about the meaning of peace and war and how much something means when you see everyone wearing a poppy (red flower) to constantly remind you that there's something going on out there in the world...
 On a lighter subject, something else that happened to me today. So like our usual Sundays, in the morning I went to church and my stepdad would take the kids out, so by the time I get home, there'll only be me and my mom and sometimes we'll go out. And today, we went out to go shopping and browsing around the shops. And while browsing around, we stumbled upon this lovely coat that I really wanted and she knew that I've always wanted something like that, something like a trenchcoat. Anyways, it was perfect and I got it and I love it! It's black, down to the knees, has a hood, just think of the cloaks that the Dark Jedis wear and yeah, you get that, lol. :P I know some of you must be thinking, "ah, great, it's gonna make him more 'dark' and emo now", lol. because it costs a lot (which I won't tell cause you would all say it's ridiculous and not worth it), my mom was willing to buy it for me as an early Christmas present and yeah. but anyways, I'm happy today. btw, also got a new backpack today. I promise I'll be posting some pics of them once I have more time. but in the meantime, have a good Remembrance Day and God bless you all! goodnight. :-)

 

 

EDIT: Here are the pics of the coat so far:
