Lately, I’ve been rather fed up with the Seneca profs. Quite frankly, they don’t show much enthusiam in their work. Unprepared for classes, show up in class just to show some powerpoint slide and wing it. Assigning assignments without reading the specs. Even after 3 weeks after assigning it, they still don’t know every detail about it. And then there are the times, they waste valuable class time talking about how much they rather be playing golf/tennis, going out town instead of teaching.  Fuck…no body is making you teach, you don’t want to teach? Get the fuck out and get yourself a 9 to 5 for all I care. I’m not saying all the profs are that bad, some are actually pretty passionate about teaching and makig sure every student in class is learning. Though the majority of them are the lazy kinda. There is also another kind, the ones who are a bit too old for the industry just sitting in the office awaiting retirement. Are all colleges like that? Back when I took media design at Centennial, the instructors are always prepared and willing to teach. Anyway I’m seriously considering switching to the CPD program. That diploma is 2 sems shorters. Right now the last thing I want is to waste money on an education institude that doesn’t provide the quality of education I expect.  Why not just quit now? Well one sem away isn’t too far, better grab the diploma first then reg to other institude to further my knowledge.

Was watching "The Family Guy" last Sunday and came across something interesting. There was this part where Stewie made a mix tape for his babysitter to express his love. Is that what kids do these day?  Or any time?  I didn’t know that. Through the years I’ve actually shared lots of music with other people, whether it’d be online or on a "mixed" cd.  I hope no one got the wrong message. Hey I’m only in it for the good tunes. Anyway if I were to express myself toward that type of intention, I think I might choose something more obvious and/or romantic. "mixed tapes"….geez….

  A beef mug of tea for a long night of work. : )

How should I begin? lots of deadlines ahead. Plus an additional difficult decision to make, and my Dad’s coming over tomorrow(and no, an extra head doesn’t help, it actually makes it worse).  The difficult decision has to do with something I started a year and a half ago. I did this pitch to re-design this website and give it some additional abilities. If they said yes right away back then, yea I would do it in a heart beat. But now I have so much going on, school, freelence, and my work term coming up. I guess I could do it if I space the production to a 3-4 month period. Still I’m not so confident in my ability to produce a secure website right now, especially after my prof just told me he’s gonna teach the class how to hack a site via cgi. I seriously don’t want to make a mistake like that in my professional career. I might need some help, but it’s not a paid job, so it will be even harder to find someone willing to help out. Got so much going on, I can see sparks coming out of my brain.

no, it’s not about my hs friend Masa. Masa in nihon go means truth. And this Japanese guy started a site to shine the light on what life is really like in Japan, unlike the tourism(promotional) video you usually see. In some odd way, the more negativity I read about Japanese culture, the more I want to be apart of it. The idea of people expecting people to be self sufficient, people working to their full potential sometimes leading to death, and many other interests me.  At first, I didn’t see why so many Japanese people want to emmigrate from Japan, now I see some of the reasoning behind it. There are so much restrictions that ties in with the freedom and the whole control by America thing really makes it a difficult place to grow up in. Yet it makes a perfect place to live/work in, once you have an idea of what the world is like. That’s where I’m at. I don’t care about much the stuff here, because I want to be in there. I think the next time I visit Japan, I want to experience life as it is, rather than being another tourist snapping photos.

….ppph…the first day after break haven’t even started and I’d already know there’s shit loads of work up ahead. Read those specs from wp2 of my SYS class (stupid class, I’d already know how to plan projects and stuff, I’ve been doing it even before it became a subject you can take at college).  With the 2 unreliable team mates on broads, I can already smell the cup of coffee at 3 am (if I drink coffee, that is.). Good thing there’s still the other member. Just hope this project will go as smoothly as the one before, where the two of us done over 80% of the project. It’s more efficient this way. Think about it, if the other two were to intervene: first I will have to wait till midnight or later for them to send me the stuff, then spend another 5 or 6 hours fixing their mistakes and merging it with the style I set for all the other document. You are looking at a night without sleep here, I don’t plan to go that far.

It’s been almost 2 year since my last hair cut. As you can guess, it’s pretty long now. One morning my sis said my hair is just as long as her’s. I was thinking of getting it shortened when my coop term start so I fit better into a corporate enviroment. Turns out the place is pretty laid back on the dress code, so I will be keeping my long hair for a few more months. One of my friends is a stylist and every time he sees me, he tell me I should go with dreadlocks. No offence to anyone with dreadlocks, but that’s just never going to happen. I like to wash my hair every monring.  I started keeping my hair long for couple of reasons.

1. Without it, I’d look pretty much just like every typical chinese guy with glasses. I hate to idea of walking into one of those chinese malls and totally lose my identity.

2. I’m very busy with my work and assignment. I rarely have time to do stuff. Even when I do, I will rather try to scrap together whatever social life I have left.

3. I’ve always like the samurai look with the hair tied up then down…hmm…somewhat alike the style that sumo wrestlers have. That hair style just reflet so much discipline(yes I’m a bit of a control freak when I’m on my own). Still haven’t done it. I don’t know anybody who know how to style hair that way, and it’s a bit difficult to do it myself.

4.  ….there was a 4th, but I forgot….heh heh Satarday night, watching buffy on VR. What do you expect? There’s hardly any good sci-fi tv series left. That last Star Trek series was pure crap. Let see, I caught 5 mins of the first episode and 15 min of the last episode (just because they got the actors from "next generation" in it)

Was reading  a friend’s blog today and came across a link to site that tells your personality/character base on the date you were born on.  It’s scarily acurate.

I’m not one who drinks frequently, but today I’m a bit bored, so I went to the local LCBO and bought my fav jap plum wine. They don’t offer the brand I like but what can I do…that’s the only one they import. Anyway, I had 2 glasses during lunch, 2 during dinner, and 1 after. Strangely, I don’t feel the slightest of a buzz. It is rather unusual. The last time I hadd this brand, one and a half glass was more than I can take. Just feel like writing this because it is abnormal. I actually treasure my consciousness very much, it’s what keeps me undead. I also set very strict rules for myself such that not a single drop of alcohol will be ingested if I plan to drive. I’m a bit wierd like that…
