SY's Colourful diary，彩色日记

Happy chinese new year!!. Wondering how I was celebrating my chinese new year? Thinking of how lonely I was in this new year? Imagine I am eating instant noodles without chinese food? Haha, if you ever think so, you are WRONG! I had a wonderful chinese new year celebration in Canada. I was really happy because I thought the above would happen to me before I came to Canada.

I was happy to have friends, to have a home with chinese housemates, to have a great party. Eventhough the planning was bad, our dinner start at 9pm which is 3 hours later than what we expected, but we had a lot of fun.

Thanks guys for coming and brought me enjoyable experience. It is a different experience when celebrating chinese new year in a foreign country and was away from family.

I have an important project every year which is a video of my pictures with my dear. Since we hardly meet and the duration of being together is limited, I like to put our nice pictures into a video for better vision of the good memories. 2008 is our third year being together, and of course this is the 3rd video I have made. I believed some of my friends had already seen the first two.

This time, I used a different program to make the video, the effect is much better than the window movie maker. I like this video because we been to different places for vocation, and it consisted of two different season of the year= summer and winter. Let's enjoy and give comment. :)

After studying a term in Canada, I am going to work hard for my second term here. Last term, I took 5 courses, I was not very satisfy with my results because I know I can do even better. My results are as follow :

Food analysis 1 = A
Fundamental of Marketing = A
Dairy Frozen Product= B+
Agriculture 1= B+
Statistic 2= B

I was not satisfy because I think I could have score A in dairy frozen product and statistic 2. I admit that I spent quite sometime at playing computer games, so now I will cut down my gaming time and spend more time on my studies in this term.

Courses that I am taking are:

Food analysis 2
A challenging course, things that I am now learning are very difficult to understand, such as Infrared radiation, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, HPLC and so on.

Food product development
I think it will be fun, we are in a group of 5 students to produce our own food product. By the end of the term, the product has to be tested and graded, or it will bring to a competition if it is good.

Food engineering
A course that due with mathematics and physics. The lecturer is good so far, I hope it is not too difficult for me.

Organic Chemistry
Relearn things that I have learnt in Form Six, it is not easy because I have forgotten almost everything in organic chemistry.

Agriculture 2
I hated the agriculture 1 last term, it is because I learnt things like history of agriculture, soil science, agrosystems. However, I think I will like this course, it is more to food dealing aspect. For example, production of life stocks, crops and food safety.

I started to feel pressure even though this is the second week of school term. I think I really have to work hard from now on. I am happy that I have fully settle down at my new apartment room, and I like it so much.

I am very sad and very disappointed today. It is because my dear has been rejected by medical school of UOM. I wished and hoped for my dear to pursue his medical program at UOM so much, however everything is gone by now. I wished I can go to school with my dear everyday, i wished I can cook good foods for him, I wished to take care of him, I swear if he ever comes to UOM for his medical program, I will do everything for him. BUT, nothing can be done for him now!

Our long distance relationship lasting for 3.5 years, if he is accepted by UOM, it will then ends our long distance relationship. All hopes are gone now, I wonder when only we can stay together with no distance. My final hope is he can be pursue his medical school in Canada, there are only 7 chances. If not, he is going to US. If this happens, our long distance relation is even LONGER.

My new room in my apartment.

After leaving Toronto, I was back to Winnipeg and stayed at apartment that I rent. I was busy doing cleaning, unpacking and buying stuffs. Luckily, everything is almost settled by today. I got Internet connection, fill my fridge with food that enough for more than 2 weeks.

There are a lot of FOOD!!


ICE CREAMS!!


SPICES AND JAMs



FIRST MEAL!!

Back in Winnipeg yesterday, I was so sad while leaving my dear at the airport. I told myself not to cry, but my tears keep flowing out. I was as sad as when my dear left me to Canada while I was in Malaysia 2 years ago. It is because we cant estimate the time of separation, we do not know when we will be able to meet again this year. He is busy in summer due to his school's strike, I will look for summer jobs or taking summer courses in Winnipeg. He may go back to Malaysia for months but I may stay in Canada. I think we will be separated for more than 9 months this time.

However, we had a lot of fun during Winter break. By having the hapiness and good memories in my mind, I am ready to move on and live without my dear.

After 21 days of holiday, I am sad to leave Toronto. After tonight, I cant imagine how I am going to survive in Winnipeg. I will move to my apartment in stead of staying at residence. I have classes at 8.30am everyday, it means I have to sleep early everyday, and I will not have time for family. Morning is the best time for me to chat with my family, I used to wake up early last term because I like to chat with my family. Besides this, it will be very cold in the morning and usually the buses are fulled with people. Hopefully I can use to the new environment and new living life style.

A new year always start with new year resolution.

2. Participate in more activities and outings.
   
   
3. Stay at library more often.
