it's been awhile since I've been on here

it's nice to have a place to write about things that I don't want to publicly broadcast to all my friends, but at the same time don't have to set the 'notes' to private.  I don't know, it just feels nice

checking my previous posts it'd seem like I'm updating my xanga on a annual basis, and things sure are different a year ago today.

I've finally finished most of my police application: essay, physical testing, eye surgery, interview, psych eval, met with psychologist, did my english proficiency test.. I've really come a long way from a year ago when I didn't really think it was possible for me to have come this far at all.

so as some of you might know, I shaved my head this summer.  The first thing I noticed was the scar I got at Nick's house on my head.  What happened was I was trying to be cool when I was going downstairs, so I jumped over this girl who was sitting on one of the steps only to hit my head on the corner of the ceiling.  Ended up having to go to the emergency room and have my head stapled (yeah, literally staples).  I can clearly see the scar from the staples on my head which reminded me of the old days, and how they all got together and prayed for me because they were all scared something will happen to me.

it sure feels nice to be loved and cared for

One of Us

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

so i was listening to the new linkin park cd, minutes to midnight, yet again, and i found this song on the album n i realized its so good.. read the lyrics.  the lyrics reminded me there are more important things than relationships in life

H  a  n  d  s    H  e  l  d    H  i  g  h

Turn my mic up louder,
I got to say somethin.
Lightweights steppin' aside,
when we comin.
Feel it in your chest,
the syllables get pumpin.
People on the street,
they panic and start running.
Words on loose leaf,
sheet complete coming.
I jump on my mind,
I summon the rhyme of dumping.
Feeling the blind,
I promise to let the sun in.
Sick of the dark ways,
we march to the drumming.
Jump when they tell us
they want to see jumping.
Fuck that, I want to
see some fist pumping.
Risk something.
Take back what's yours
Say something that you know
they might attack you for
cause I'm sick of being treated
like I have before.
Like it;s stupid standing for
what I'm standing for.
Like this war is really just
a different brand of war.
Like it doesn't cater to the rich
and an abandoned the poor.
Like they understand you
in the back of the jet,
When you can't put gas in your tank.
These fuckers are laughing their way
to the bank and cashing their cheque
asking you to have compassion and to have some respect.

For a leader so nervous
in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling
for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world
watching at the end of the day
in the living room laughing
like what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

In my living room watching,
But I am not laughing.
'Cause when it gets tense,
I know what might happen.
The world is cold,
The bold men take action.
Have to react,
To getting blown into fractions.

10 years old is something to see,
Another kid my age dragged under a jeep,
Taken and bound and found later under a tree,
I wonder if he even thought the next one could be me.
Do you see?
The soldiers that are out today.
That brush the dust with bulletproof vests away.
It's ironic.
At times like this you pray,
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads,
inside your markets,your shops, your clothes,
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
but enough pride inside not to let that show.
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine.
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside,
when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling
for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world
watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry
like what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

With Hands Held High
into a sky so blue
as the ocean opens up
to swallow you

WHAT A WEEK!!

its been such a long week i dont know where to begin.. ahahah joN妹,我有稔過打中文俾你睇,但係實在太煩喇,所以我打算打英文,既然你又話你睇得明囉~

so yah, went on a trip wif a bunch of wonderland frds, like 35 of us, n drove around 3 and a half hours to Red Bay (near sauble beach), it was so far its not funny.. but thank God it was a safe journey n i had a great friend with me along the way so we cud talk n stuff. 

after we got there, we ate instant noodles =D  we played alot of games, n alot of ppls were drinking, i didnt coz the drinks they have aint that great n i didnt feel like it.  around midnight, i suggested to go to the pier, n everyone were leaving, then sonia comes running n tells me how frank was unconscious.. so i ran back into the cabin n finds frank in lisa's arms n she was crying her eyes out, frank was unconscious with an irregular pulse, so i tried getting him a towel with hot water n he still didnt wake up, so we had to call 911 (妹,911即係hk既999 =]), n it was so stupid because they didnt know where out campsite was, n the entire area has no street lights so theres no way for them to see where we are, so i told them i'd stand at the front of the place with a flash light.  as i was standing there, i was so scared for his life i bowed down on the ground n prayed n prayed n prayed until the ambulance got there, while mark went to tell everyone to stay at the pier while the ambulance came so they wont crowd around the cabins.  the ambulance got there at around 1:30am, picked up frank n lisa n left.  me, chan and shane were all very worried so we decided to go with mark to the hospital, i drove.  it was pitch black n we almost crashed a few times, but we managed to get to the hospital at 2:30 am.  frank was diagnosed with alcohol poisoning n has to stay over night until the IV clears his system.  so we went bac to the cabins, n was told to pick up frank at around 5:30, so we went bac n me n mark were going to pick up frank at 5:30.  i had nowhere to sleep coz every1 was sleeping n i didnt want to wake everyone up so i slept in the living room, sitting up the whole night.  at 5:30, we called the hospital n they told us frank isnt up yet so we told them we'd try again at 8.  so i slept again sitting up, n at 8:30 we got to the hospital (the sun was already out) n we picked up frank n lisa, i had to pull over a few times because frank had to puke, thank God he didnt puke in my car.  so we got back n i slept for 8 hrs, i completely collapsed n just slept n slept n slept.

so i woke up at around 2? i think? something like that, n ate lunch with the rest of the ppls, it was rainy so we decided to go canoeing, great idea huh?  it was cold n stuf.. we canoed a little n it started to rain harder so we decided to stay in the cabins for a little while the rain dies down, i was in a cabin with shane n chan playing Soul Caliber 2 on ps2 =] thats right, i took my ps2 into camp coz i knew there'd b a TV, we hooked it up to the tv through a VCR =D  mwahahah so gd, n we enjoyed a few hrs of intense gaming while we sit indoors.  after the rain dies off, we went out for some football on the beach at sauble beach, we played alot of football n in the meantime, i tackled a guy n sprained my wrist by accident (which hurted for 3, 4 days? its ok now).  at night we set off some fire works, drank more, talked alot with each other at the campfire, then we ended everything by t-shirt signing!  we each got a white t-shirt (courtesy of mark) so we can all write stuff on each other's shirts!  it was pretty fun~  so yah, then on thurs we all came out tired n i was stuck on the 400 coz i was tired n a little hung over..

n i got sick during the weekend coz i worked 14 hrs on sat n 8 hrs on sunday, n i closed both days n they were both freezing..

what a week!
