Currently listening to: Imagine Dragons – Demons

This is a long post.

 

I missed church today.. oops =(

That wasn’t supposed to happen.

I woke up at around 12:30 pm today although I’d say I wasn’t really awake til 2:30 pm.

Lol but still so tired.

I guess this weekend was pretty packed.

Hockey ended late as always on Friday, there were so many people !!

People who leave earlier don’t usually get to play as much b/c there’s so many people but hopefully they still had fun.

I think the guys have started to treat me like a girl again in floor hockey.

Like they would just let me have the ball during face-offs without me having to put much effort in.

Why do they do that ? =s

Maybe it’s because there were more girls who played and Shelly wasn’t there.

Shelly is usually pretty aggressive to everyone, both guys and girls.

I think I appreciate that though because I can’t learn anything if they’re not trying at all and just letting me have the ball. >_<

Were they trying to be courteous ?

Lol it might be that the E3C guys are just nicer to girls in general too though.

It might have an effect ? I dunno.

 

I had 4 hours of sleep going into my Saturday.

My saturday this week started at 10 am when Sam le Chau came to ring our doorbell.

He took CCY and I to the bottle depot and recycling at South Gate.

We got $16 something as a return which is pretty good I guess considering we gave away 4 garbage bag full of bottles already for the bottle depot earlier this year.

The blue bins at the back of South Gate has all your recycling needs. Tins and glass jars etc.

I had brunch at James and Em’s place /w CCY, Rachel and randomly Sam le Chau b/c he was just there since he drove us right after recycling.

When you walk into their house, it’s like you’ve entered the hipster world.

Their house is very hip, very fitting for them.

They have a KitchenAid mixer and a double (flip) waffle maker !! I was a bit jealous.

Apparently once you get married people just gift you appliances ! Hahah

Ppl tried to use the dance coupon on CCY but she wouldn’t do it b/c she was too embarrassed.

Lol, poor Chau.

Afterwards, CCY, Rachi and I walked around on whyte for a bit.

The shops on whyte are actually quite interesting.

I love TinBox, Chicken Scratch especially b/c they always have really cool stuff (sometimes useless though).

The music stores are pretty cool too, I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to learn how to play violin.

That would be kinda cool.

Then it was pretty much time to go to worship practice.

We’re leading worship for next week’s baptism (Easter service) /w choir !

That is exciting b/c it’ll be different.

I’m looking forward to the set we’re playing, the lyrics of the songs are really powerful I think.

For SG, we went out to eat for once.

I know I probably shouldn’t be spending money b/c I don’t have money that I can really afford to spend right now but our small group never goes out and it’s one of the lasts of the year so I wanted to do something different.

I participated in Earth Hour !

It was already 9:15 pm when I got home though so our SG sat in the dark /w candles for 15 minutes while we did an activity.

I actually thought it was kinda cool but apparently some people were creeped out lol.

We watched The Prestige for our movie.

I’ve heard about it from various ppl but I never got around to watching it.

I finally did on Saturday and I agree it was pretty good although the ending was kind of sad when the plot finally unfolded.

It was really nice of Mango to leave early to go walk Melissa home because she was afraid to walk home by herself.

I’m really encouraged by these little acts of kindness that I’ve been seeing lately.

It makes me happy. =)

I’ve noticed that Mabel has been taking the time to actually listen to Nigel and converse with him at church.

This is something that is hard even for me b/c I am not really comfortable sometimes with the topics of his conversations and his loudness intimidates me.

What I’ve seen of Mabs these days has been a model for me to follow.

I think God has been showing her awesome things lately b/c I’ve felt that she’s beginning to change.

 

Saturday was the longest day for me.

Sunday was pretty much a study day.

I studied for 7 hrs ish ! It’s an achievement lol.

I don’t think I’ve studied for so long in one sitting since last term.

I was kind of sore from sitting so long.

There is still so much to do for school… I have a group presentation on Weds but I’ve heard nothing from my group members..

I wonder if it’ll be alright.

I think I will send them an email tomorrow.

I applied for 3 jobs today.. sigh

I really don’t know if I’ll be able to land an interview at least.

If the Spirit is willing, then I may be able to.. we shall see.

For now, I can only do my best, pray and keep an optimistic attitude.

 

On hockey.

The Flames won their home game today against the Blues (St. Louis) ! Yayy lol !

Something about home games.

I guess it would make a difference to have fans cheering you on/ supporting you.

Gives the players energy/ motivation ?

We even had Wes cheer for our team today ! =P

Kiprusoff’s SV was 0.947, I think that’s pretty good.

He did well today.

The Blues had 38 shots against which is crazy ! Our team only had 17.

Winning goal goes to Iginla lol but of course.

I think the team did better in the first half of the match but I wouldn’t know ’til I watch the replay.

A notable player today would be Roman Cervenka who scored 2 goals of the 3 giving him a 100% shooting percentage.

Plays centre. Age 27.

Hmm, he just joined the flames this season I think.

He doesn’t seem to have a long history in the league.

Okay so after this game, the Flames are now 5th from bottom, just after the Oilers in the league.

They are second last in the Western Conference.

Will they be able to make playoffs this year ??
