post-reading week

this year's reading week was maybe one of the best ones i've had in all the years i've been in university. :) all my midterms and tests were the week before reading week, with the exception of one assignment, so basically i had a whole week of doing absolutely nothing. i didn't even bring any textbooks home. sweetness.

started off really well with the LCCF retreat. the fellowship that we shared there was really great although at times it was quite...uhmm....interesting. ;) hehehe. nevertheless, it was an awesome time, and the timing couldn't have been any better.

God really knows what we need, and when we need it.

during reading week itself, i spent a lot of time with my mommy and that's always a plus. rented the movie, Ray, and watched it twice (once with justin, and then again with my mom). GREAT movie. i really liked it a lot. jamie foxx did an awesome job in playing ray in the movie. wanna get me some ray charles cds now. the special features that came with the dvd were also really good. hmm. maybe i'll invest in that movie. maybe. ;)

wednesday night was also fun. we went to mel lastman square to take advantage of the free ice rink. good times! highlight of the night: when chen broke nevin's skate. i have his confession on video courtesy of justin and his awesome camera skills. hahaha. there are also some really nice pictures that justin took. i have yet to get off my butt and upload all the pics from reading week. i'll let you know when i get on that. ooh ohh! and hannah taught me how to do crossovers. hahaha. i really suck, but that's okay, at least it was fun. must make a note to sharpen my skates. they're duller than spoons.

thursday i went for dinner with leo, and as usual it was great getting a chance to catch up with him again. when's the next time i'll see you leo? what was that? april? haha. (oh! leo, after i left your house i ended up going back to the gas station and filled up on gas. good thing too, because the next day it went from 73.7 to 79.9. ahahaha. sweeeeet.) afterwards, i stopped by dan's house b.c there was a small gathering of people there, and there we had dessert! mmmmmm. yummy mccain cake and mint chocolate icecream. (thanks for having us over dan!) it was a great way to end off a great day. :)

on the friday i went to pickle barrel with justin, jo, jer, ken and lil. it was really awesome seeing them all again. especially lillian. :) i haven't seen that girl in like forever! (seriously. i think that the last time was in the summer when lil, pheebs and i went to taste of japan...mmmmmmmmm... :d ) it was nice talking with her again and doing a bit of catching up. it's nice knowing that even though we went our separate ways and went to two different universities, the friendship still exists. :)

anyway, that's all for now. there's more to say, but currently i have no words for the thoughts that are currently occupying my brain. hope that everyone had a great reading week too, and that the week back has been good to them. all the best to those who are still writing their midterms. study hard! :)
