May your holidays be filled with love and joy.

Speaking of the end of the world, I'm pretty depressed. I just found out I no longer have my perfect 20/20 eyes..."oh no, now your pretty face is ruined"..."what?? justin is gonna wear GLASSES?"..."haha, now you're just like any other chinese guy"...*sob sob*....nooooo......well the good news is it explains why I get tired easily, especially when I read....the bad news is, now I'm gonna look like a geek....and I'm not about to stick contacts in my eyes, I still have no idea how ppl can do it....the thought alone is so gross! Anyway, I pickup my glasses on wednesday so I'm hoping it won't be so bad....

Mega-congrats to Alpay, who just informed me that he's been nominated for a Genie - Best Actor, no less - for his role in Ararat! For those of you who don't know, Genies are the Canadian equivalent of the Oscars. Very impressive! Now I have to go see it - and make Alpay see it for the 11th time. Funny though, he still needs to pay to go see his own movie. Pretty ridiculous, really; he thinks the reason is because the theatres are desperate for money from all the bootlegging going on. I say there's two simple ways to solve that - one: lower the damn prices! I still remember the days when watching a movie for $5 was en vogue. I watched a helluva lot more movies back then, simply because I can afford it. Now they're $15 - a 200% increase - who the hell would wanna pay that much? And the second way is, if Alpay's gonna go see his own movie, why don't you as a theatre manager promote it to everyone in the lineup, or hype it up - "come see Ararat with one of the stars from the movie" - you'll create instant demand. Come on, it doesn't take an economist to figure this out =)

Man, once this week is over, I'm gonna go buck wild! Sooo many things I wanna do....

One thing, it's less than one week to freedom, and I still don't know more than half of what I'm studying. I wasted an entire week this week making half-assed attempts at studying, and now it's hell week, I look at past exams and my mind's a complete blank. I repeatedly let the chance to study pass me by, even with my books right in front of me. Sigh, if I don't get cracking, I'm a dead man....interesting note though, just by blogging and whining I'm letting each study minute waste away as is....heh....

On Friday, I watched Mr. Deeds with Gar, Milesa and Kit....watched it at Kit's haunted house on a hill...seriously, that place is really spooky, and it's in the middle of nowhere...I can understand now why Joe was scared to drive home by himself...haha...you have to turn on your high beams to drive through there! That's how ghetto it was! It was relatively light outside cuz of all the light pollution, but man, if it was pitch dark.....shudder......anyway, Deeds pretty good movie. Kit described it as one of those "sweet movies" - she and Milie were "awww"ing throughout =)

Saturday night, went over to Will and Kim's for an appetizer party....which ended up being everybody's dinner...probably one of the most malnutritious meals I've ever eaten in my entire life....Lyds' diet for me went right out the window with all the cheesecakes =( Man, as soon as this week is over, I'm parking myself inside the AC every single day to work off the pounds...
