Okay, this entry is waaay overdue. I should have done this a long time ago but thanks to busy-ness (i don't want to use the word "business" or else people including myself might get the wrong idea, lol) and procrastination, it's been delayed for too long, but meh, better late than never right? *shrugs* anyways, I've got a pretty lot to say so brace yourselves, lol.

First of all, I just wanna mention something I left out in my last entry. Just to show you how concerned I was about our "graduation", I forgot to mention that March 19-22 was my 6th anniversary of leaving "home", Canada...(the 19th was when we left and the 22nd was when we arrived here; in case you're wondering, time zones and flight time affects a lot in time, lol). But it didn't really matter that much any more when I typed the last entry because the "graduation" and farewell was all that matter to me at that moment, and besides I'd be leaving soon. Oh, by the way, last week we finally booked my flight home. I'd be flying on Air Canada on June 16th, single-journey ticket, 14-something hours of flight, which is quite fast considering how my flight is a direct flight so I won't be stopping in Vancouver or Anchorage. We had to go for single-journey because it's now the hot season for flying, tickets are expensive, and since we booked our tickets late (wasn't entirely our fault, but I don't wanna go explaining the whole story as to why we waited till this late to book), they're even more expensive. >_< and when I go back to HK to visit my family, I can buy double-journey then and the prices wouldn't be as outrageous as the situation wouldn't be as tight as it has been for us now. oh, my bad, I forgot to mention that right now my ticket cost around $7000-something HKD, nearly $8000, which would be around $100 CAD/USD. now if I went for return-journey, it would be $14000-something, nearly $15000...which is way too much for us to afford, so yeah...Just one more month here, and I'll be gone...After 6 years, I'll finally be out of here...I dunno how I feel about this actually. I'm feeling both excited and nervous. Excited to finally leave, nervous cause I don't know what to expect. To be honest with you, I'm particularly nervous that I might get upset because after all this time of being away, my ultimate goal was to go "home"...but after being away for so long, what if things have changed and it all no longer feels the same and that I don't feel like it's "home" any more. Then what do I turn to? Where would I call "home"? the feeling of having your dream fulfill and shattering at the same time is a scary one. but meh, i dunno, just let it be....I don't really want to talk about this topic any more because it's making me feel weird so i better move on.

Second major thing that i wanted to talk about...I've got another job now! since I was done with school, I was applying for a part-time job during the weekdays to make my time a little bit more productive and earn a little bit more while I'm at it. and finally last month, i got the job at this hamburger restaurant-ish place. mind you, it's not some crappy place like mcdonalds, we're talking about restaurants that use quality stuff. and when you put them in places like HK, they're even more special. so I thought I could get a pretty good salary and I applied there...which I only got a moderate hourly pay rate (not gonna say it). anyways, i just started last month and i get to choose which days of the week i wanna work and i stick to afternoon shifts. so far I guess it's been alright. the first two hours feels a bit tense and weird since it's lunch hour and the busiest time during my job, and gave me second thoughts on it. but once i get past those hours, everything else is alright. everyone's pretty friendly and easy to get along with, just the supervising manager that's a bit...well, bossy, lol. so yeah. it's my second job ever!
as for what might my first job be? well I've been working in it since December last year and still doing it. a friend of mine who works in this high-end supermarket (again, not your average supermarket) found out that one of his colleagues from a different department needed to hire someone to replace the sunday shifts. and I gladly accepted it since it has a decent pay and i don't even need to do much, plus I only need to work on sundays, which doesn't interfere with my weekday schedule, such as school, at that time. i work as a promoter for this imported japanese green tea product, so i just make the tea, serve it, answer whatever questions customers ask, stand still and look pretty, and i get paid, so what the heck, lol. so yeah, right now, taking two jobs, earning some extra income on my own, i guess life's going along quite well. :-) *shrugs*

So yeah, those were the two major things that have been happening to my life recently. Another thing that's not as important is that I've finally finished with those HKCEE exams. (remember how I was telling you about them?...yeah) I did...uh....alright, lol. meh, good enough i guess. not that good, but yeah...good enough, lol *smiles*

You know what's been pissing me off recently...people. I'm pissed about how sometimes we care about people so much, their well-being, their whereabouts, etc. Yet sometimes other people just don't give a damn at all or even show any consideration, whatsoever. It also pisses me off that sometimes people don't think much about one another, yet sometimes we miss someone and they are just simply unreachable in some ways no matter how hard you try to contact them. Now I'm not saying I'm particularly any better, because I know I've made several mistakes in terms of communication with the people that are close to me, but still... I just wanna rant about...why is this so? For example, for the past month, while we've been done and out of school, I've been trying to contact people and figure a way to get us all together to do something. Yet the same situation that happened to us during the "graduation" and the planning involved in it, occured again and it just...doesn't work out all that well. And mind you, a lot of us are going our seperate ways (since like I said most people including myself, are going back to their homeland to continue on with their lives and studies). It seems like the more people there are, the harder it is to get along. I don't know if it's just me...(since I've had suspicions that maybe I just ain't good enough and that people just don't like being around with me even though i try to do what I can most of the time), or maybe it's just what they call a part of "growing up" (since from what I observe, as people grow older, they grow more apart from each other...maybe it's just that they're more independant or whatever the shit it is?; another one of my long list of reasons why I hate growing up), or maybe it's just humanity itself? I don't know. But speaking of humanity, I just wanna say that it's kinda ironic that humans are meant to be social beings and don't want to be alone, yet it's so hard for them to stay together. But meh...enough cynicism for now...

Okay, just for some small side notes. On Mother's Day, I took the day off since it might be the last Mother's Day I would be able to spend with my mom personally. I gave her this necklace that I had with me since last year when I thought I was gonna leave. Sorry but I didn't take any pictures of it before I gave it out, so yeah...but it was nice, she liked it and I liked it too. :-)
On another random thing, I watched Iron Man a couple of weeks ago (see, this is how delayed this entry is...) and it was friggin' awesome. It was so good that my mood went from down low that day to way up. I just love the feeling of being satisified after coming out of the theatre after some kickass movie. :-). btw, i've also fallen for the song "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. I've always had the song all along in my computer since it was sent from a friend, but I never really listened much to it. but about a month or two ago, I saw the Iron Man trailers and it reminded me of the song and I tried it again...Loved it! :-D so as a tribute to both the awesome movie and song, I'll just temporary put up that song as my profile song. Well that's all there is I can think of to talk about for now. There might be more that I missed out, but i dunno. If I can think of any, i'll post it back up. The next time I'd be posting would probably be before I leave for Canada. *bites nails* lol. See ya!
