Oh well today was a quite tiring and interesting day
Today was my APS client meeting and my client was the vice Dean Prof. Greg Evans. Hes a really friendly guy and I enjoyed the client meeting with him.
I had to dress up in business casual clothing and becuase I did alot of searching for clothes at the last minute I was quite late in the morning but thank god I arrived at Skule right on time and got good seats for the lectures. After reviewing the inetrview script with the client I met up with the other team members but shoot the meeting was at 12.30 and until 12.25 only 3 of the 7 members arrived at the place specified. We were quite pissed and we discussed and changed the order of quesitons for only the three of us. And just before we went into the client room all the other people came rushing with doing all the stuff like tie tieing and memorizing questions at the minute we were going in. The interview went fine but I think we have alot fo work to do becuase our project has alot of open ends which we have to close up.
After that there was nothign else to do for me therefore I thought of going home and have a good sleep. But just before I climbed down the stairs to go into Queens Park station i check my pocket and my purse was missing! Yeiks! I searched my bad my coat and every possible place but I couldnt find it therefore I walked back to the SUDS and searched there but no luck… I went to the place where I had the client meeting still no luck…I asked a bunch of caretakers and i dont knwo what the hell they were talking becuase they had a very weird accent. Then I went to the first year office and found out that the lost and found services are at the basement and I went there but i couldnt find any. I was totally pissed….No T card…No bus tickets no money! I was like a beggar… I asked so many people i found on ym way for bus tickets but everybody said they use the card now damn! then finally one guy agreed to give me $2.35 and with no other luck and a sad face i just left SF building….While i left it I passed Mining Building.. I had a lecture there in the morning and I just thought suddenly let me chekc the lecture hall if I have left anythign out of no where…I went in there and THERE WAS MY PURSE! HOORAY! it was on the ground untouched where i sat in the morning…I was more than happy and I thanked god like mad! my legs were hurting then becuase i almost went around engineering faculty for thousands of time! oh boy what a day! lets see hwo the week goes!have fun guys!
Oh yeah today was indeed an interesting friday the 13th and the first time I experienced alot of unexpected events on such a co called bad day…here the story goes…
as usual woke up early dressed up and got to the bus stand while i was waiting for the bus to got to STC i was thinking wow i am always on time for University and I havent missed any lectures due to late waking up or any traffic on the road…i think the spell started form their and by the time i went to the Scaborough Town Center RT station there was a sea of crowd waiting for the RT…. It was simply packed….the first time i saw people so packed up waiting for a Train after i left Sri Lanka…I just tried to get my way through and waited and waited there was no sign of the RT from both the bounds…. Then there was an annoucement that due to some computer problems there are some problems with the RT….damn….I waited and the crowd just got increasing…and there were people even standing on the escalator….then one RT came form the opposite side and it too waited for a long time….some people just were a bit smart and got off to the other side and got into that RT so there dont need to get through the crowd when the RT came this side… I thought a bit then after that RT left it was no point I went to the other side and I easily got into the RT and when it came back to STC station it was chaos….
then slowly with alot of people fighting to get some space and mumbling that they were late to work it finally arrived at Kennedy station and the driver annouced”FINNALY WE MADE IT! HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!” I couldnt beleive… then only i knew that today was friday the 13th and every body started to laugh…it was about 8.35am so i thought if i can catch the subway thats down there i would simply get to university at least at 9.10 max…so i rushed to the subway with a sigh of relief and before even entering Warden Station the driver announced that due to some signal problems the subway will move slower than usual…. that was the end of it…it just went like a never ending journey stopping and slowing and just packing up people in the compartments…and atlast it reached St.George station and it was like 9.25pm and by the time i reached UNiversity it was 9.35 ish…i and my friends decided thatthere was no point going to the lecture by this point and just skipped….Phew!!!!!!!////what a day
then there were other unexpected stuff too… I got a letter from my friend who was in srilanka after about 2 years! yeah 2 years…we had good contact before that but then after he shifting to different places and me concentarting more on school and university work we just lost contact….so when i came home here was this unexpected letter and guess who it was form one of my Best Friends in srilanka…I couldnt beleive it! it was reallign heart warming to read his letter and to realise there are still people who care about each other….
on another note i dont want to be racist but i simply cannot ignore this either black men and women seriously suck! they dotn have any kinda manners but they try to teach us what manners are…on the morning while i was in that packed crowd unable to move abotu by my self here came this black lady out of no where who was trying to get back to the bus stop form the RT station and my bag was there too she was so rude and told me that hey man your bag in on my way! what the fuck! i am enjoying a free space there…i am sturggling to even stand and she wants her space to move about… then again in busses even if u say excuse me to get about they think that we have gone nuts and look at us like we are crazy and give a terrible stare… oh boy the most rudest peopel on earth are the black people….seriosuly please u guys learn these good manners without teaching us first.. AGAIN IAM NOT RACIST!
anyways I am really tired after a long day want to watch some good programmes on tv and have a good sleep onto Saturday!
Hope you guys had ineterstign stories on the beloved Friday the 13th!
Alright the holidays have come to an end and tomorrow Skule starts again with a whole new begining! I just wish if there was one more week of holidays…I dont know i am having this feeling that the holidays werent enough maybe becuase there wasnt really a whole day where I stayed home and just relaxed….anyways>>
the final marks for the first semester courses came out on friday nite and THANK GOD I PASSED! I heard from other buddies that the marks were out at about 4.45 pm but at that time i was at my violin class and i didnt knwo about it….before that i was cheking the marks millions of times everyday…but when i dont check the marks come out…psssssssss…and when i came home and checked rosi the website was under maintenance until 12 midnite… damn those 6 hours from 6pm to 12 am were the worst of my life… i couldnt eat i couldnt watch TV i just couldnt concentrate on anythign and my heart was beating so hard! But 12 am struck and i was more than happy to see I passed! I know didnt get good marks but again first semester seems less significant to get good marks and have too many sleepless nites studying… so it doesnt bother me at all that i got most of the marks in the 60s….But some people have done exteremly well! Congrats u guys!
So today sunday i feel a bit scared i dont knwo why..I think i like the courses so far but i have no clue how the profs are gonna be and how i am gonna manage….CHE113 seems the scariest as it requires alot of lab work and the prof has already posted 12 handouts in the course website which is freaky!
As ive mentioned before 2005 was the worst year of my life..I agree that I had two extremely good things that happened like going to University and going to Sri Lanka and visiting my friends but otherwise it was just nasty….it was a struggle i should say… Hopefully 2006 is much better and get to knwo more friends and i atleast feel happy unlike last year… Now back to cleaning my room and praying for a good start! Should start applying for summer jobs! yeiks! its already late!
Alright this is my first post for the new year and its goign fine for now! hopefully university doesnt spoil it for me please! First semester was a disaster i want 2nd semester to be like a party where i enjoy every moment of it!
anyways new years day was freaking busy for me and for my dad and mum becuase we invited all our family members for a new years party at our home so we were expecting a lot of people and most importantly alot of kids at our home! The cooking basically started on saturday becuase we had to cook for about 30 people and becuase this was a new eyars party my mum wanted to make alot of different stuff just for the enjoyment! so from saturday afternoon to sunday 5 pm it was basically a cooking marathon… yeah my mum couldnt manage it all by her own so my dad and i had to team up with her! yeah cutting, choppin checking the spices grinding tasting and alot more was done by dad and I…. i couldnt beleive that i was a good cooking critique!
yeah the guests arrived at 7 pm ish one by one and by 8.30 the whole house was packed! imagine a small apartment with 30 people in it! wow! alot fo kids to baby sit and thank god there were 3 cousins of my kinda age so i had fun playing with them too! well at about 12.30 yish everybody left becuase everyone came with kids and they had to sleep! phew!…..then came the most inetersting part,,,, my uncle who lives with us came rushing to my mum after the guests left saying to look at his face…OH MY GOD! it was an alergy of some sort and basically 50% of his face was swollen and red! my mum had a shock and told me and my dad to take to the 24 hour pharmacy! well then the rest is known…..
now today another smaller party at our house with again 2 even smaller kids who are constantly tryign to get my attention and are kinda annoying…so to escape from them i came to my room and staretd to update my blog! well i guess this is a long post and hope u guys enjoyed reading it…i have to go back and eat now!
HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR GUYS!
