Watch SAW IV

Today Mark and I, as well as some other our friends went to the Chinook centre to watch movie SAW IV. Actually I don't like horror movies at all but I was convinced by Mark this time probably because I thought it was a good way to relax at the end of this week by watching a movie.

Due to it was the first time that SAW IV was showed to audience today, there were large amount of people there and before the movie started, no seat was available in the theatre. Although I have never seen other series that precede SAW IV so that it always made me confused, the scene of the movie was awesome, which was extremely violence and bloody. During the time of watching the movie, it was easy to see people get killed by cruel way. In addition, people easily get shocked by watching splash of blood. I remembered some description of this movie: "
Brutal Violence, Gory Scenes, Disturbing Content" Well, it is true. When I left the theatre, I saw some girls was still sitting on their seats with clothes covered on their bodies and felt scared. I highly recommend you to watch this movie if you get bored; however, you had better think twice whether you can stand the scene of the movie!!

My room mates




As I have moved to a new apartment, I have two room mate to live with and both of them are taking the master in U of C. I have mentioned before that they are really nice and we usually chat each other during the free time. what I wanna say is they all have their own habbits, which are quite obvious and funny. One is name Alex, whose major is Computer Science. We had already bcome friends before I moved to here. He is a really tough guy because I can see he is busy with his dissertation almost everyday. He gets up early as well, about 8 o'clock in the morning whatever it's weekday or weekend. He hardly has time to have fun; however, he is crazy about chatting though the Internet. He often open MSN, Skype and QQ and chat with more than 5 people at the same time lol. But his tpying is really fast. Last a couple of weeks, I bought a new Mircosoft keyboard and it's awesome; however, Alex used it most of the time because he thought using my keyboard for chatting was comforable, so I had to lend it to him and I could use nothing.So sad.

Another room mate is named Vince. He is a biology student and he has graduated from Beijing University, which is a top university is China; however, he seems do not study very hard because biology courses are not tense, but Alex always tell him that it is hard to find a job for biology students :) Vince has a strong habit, which is singing songs. Every time, I could hear
voice of his songs from his room. One day, his voice was extremely aloud and it was hard to understand what he was singing about. Finally, I figured out he was singing a Japanese song!!
While he doesn't like chatting at all. Although he has MSN, he never open it..

Anyway, I love living with my room mates and they give me lots of happy time so far.

Bad time to join the University



Today after the meeting with Mr. Lee, Mark, Eric, Megan, Theresa and I started to talking about our future. Well actually we got started to worrying about our future studies because all of us have met problem of choosing courses, for the time we would join the University is Winter but not fall. As we know, the new courses begin in Fall, and if we take courses in Winter, that means we must have missed some classes so that we gonna fail because of lack of knowledge. If we choose to give up and take new courses in Fall next year, that means we have to wait about 8 months!!! Therefore, we feel heritage a lot.

Take me as an example, my faculty is Engineering, and because the first year is called general,
so I have to study exact 5 courses each semester and these courses will be chosen by our faculty
staff other than myself, so everything just like a chain that well organized and could not be separated apart. After checking all the first year courses of Engineering, I will miss( have already missed) Design and communication and all the Mathematics courses which inlcudes
infinitesimal calculus and Linear Algebra. I have learned a lot about science subjects so that I know the class will be extemely hard if people are short of fundmental knowledge. Although I am very interested in Mathematics and Physics, but make up for the knowledge of 4 months is almost impossible.

Now I deciede to ask my faculty advisors for help in order to make sure whether the winter courses are related to the Fall courses or not. If they do, how much pressure I have to take if I choose study in Winter. I have to think before leap because I would choose to wait rather than fail!!!

Fight against the MasterCard



I really wanna a Master Card, but my wish just like a dream that hardly come true. First of all, I tell you my bank is BMO.

Actually I have applied it six weeks ago but the bank just keep delaying the process. At first, I went to my bank and ask the service people if I can apply a Master Card. They said absolutely no problem and gave a application to fill. After that, they told me your card will be sent to you three weeks later. WOW! That's so easy!! However, things were not going so well as I thought because there was no mail sent to me after three weeks, so I went back to the bank and asked them what happened----the result drove me crazy: they have made a mistake so that I have to apply again. But they kept saying sorry and promised me I can get the card for sure if I could wait another three weeks. So I totally have no method but wait; however, I still haven't received my card after another three weeks. OMG! I rushed to the bank and asked them angrily. They dialed the BMO service number and then told me my card has already been sent! I said are u kidding me. I received nothing! They said only one thing we can do now is to block the card and ask for a new card---it would take five business days.....
After my room-mates knew about it, they tried to comfort me. My room-mates were super nice and they gave me three options to choose. First, go to my bank with a chopper and force them to give me the card. I said no way. I can go any where with a chopper except banks otherwise I will be considered as a bank rubber. Then, they told me to change the bank. I said probably not because everything was well organized and I have to do something like open saving account if I had changed my bank. Finally, they said:" Well, Allen, you have enough reason to suicide...."
By the time I felt extremely terrible, one thing made me really balanced: Mark told me he has applied the Master Card as well in the same bank, but he has been waiting for three months without any results...

I totally have no feeling!!!


I don't know what happened on me because I have totally lost my feeling. What I mean is I don't wanna do anything, which includes playing games and listening to music, so not even study. The new term has been started two weeks and I clearly know all the projects are arranged tensely; however, it makes me even worse and it blocks my confidence. Now, basically, I am just and writing my blog while I am thinking about the reasons. Well, probably is work cuz I worked a lot

and I feel my body wants to collapse,but it just physcial condition. Then I think I am really under pressure cuz I have many things to handle. On the other hand, I found my homies who have similar situation as me never feel moody... They called me again and again and wanted to

hook up! Godish!! I think I have to brace up and to be reflesh! If this kind of condition continues,

I will lose everything... In people's life, there are many obstacles that may makes us feel bad and we need to overcome them anyway. Compared to them, my situation now is really easy; therefore, no excuse that I can find to stop my steps and now it is not the end of the world!


Cheers!
