well now, haven't updated in a while.

friday - was going to meet up with brandon, kalam, and simon, but decided to go to rohan's party in the evening... was really good seeing old mci friends (kindergarten buddy!) who i hadn't seen since... commencement? something like that. anyway, so he had a bbq and erin and i had lotsa fun swinging on his hammock... man, i love those things! it was a nice night, i didn't get bitten by any bugs (bonus!), and it was really nice just sitting there talking with everybody... even though most of them were nerdy :p engineers who constantly talked about politics, engineering things, and electronics... hahaha, but it was good, i miss hearing people talking about "intelligent" things again... man, i miss spending time with those mci kids! anyway, after a while, we went in and watched the guru, which was a very enjoyable movie... loved the parody of those bollywood movies! haha. then, after the movie, we just sat around talking... listening to rohan come up with suggestions on how to improve upon bras... yeah, NOT HAPPENING! there's no way women are going to buy bulky bras with remote controlled release mechanisms! especially if they blow up! ("no no no, we'd engineer it so that there'd only be a light bruising!") common sense: boys lack it. yeah, that's almost worst than my friends' suggestion to add velcro, buttons, or ZIPPERS (!!) to the bottom of women's one-piece bathing suits in order to facilitate the, uh, washroom process. jeeze, do you guys even listen to yourselves speak?

saturday - had a game against the oracles... good game. some of our old team members were on the other team, so we all just encouraged each other and had a good, really tight game. we managed to win by one in the last inning... it was so close, we were just trailing behind for the majority of the game. but yeah, it was fun. went to red lobster with the team afterwards... man, who chose that place? i mean, the food is good, but so expensive!

sunday - good day yesterday. went to church, scarborough town centre for a bit, and then double header at beverly glen. spent a lot the afternoon getting to know dan... did you know he's from saskatchewan? anyway, he's a really nice guy, i hope a get a chance to get to know him a bit better... and perhaps introduce him to the wacky world of colour instead of the standard asian black. (i should've known he shops at club monaco... haha) :p anyway, on the softball front, beverly glen has a terrible diamond. the infield was really hard and the grounders all came by so fast and SCARY. i was getting really upset during the first game because i wasn't playing well, balls either whizzed right by me or hit me (ow.), and it was SO hot outside! blah! so yeah, the first game was really tough and we actually lost. the first time in the regular season since two years ago? but i think that it was good for us... you know, a wake-up call so we wouldn't get so cocky. it also took a lot or pressure off of us since we won't feel like we have to "protect" that undefeated streak... plus, in the play-offs, we won't have to face the paladins, the now first place team in our division (actually, i think that's the team victoria's friend donna is on!). we haven't played them yet but we heard that they were really good. so i think our team is in second place now, or something like that. oh, and the second game was just plain fun. we played against the angels, so i got to see benita, felix, gable, and the other mcpc players. another plus, mei came to watch our game! yeah, so that was a really enjoyable game, the sun came down (yay!), there was goodnatured heckling of friends, more relaxed pace, and fun devos. i think we won by a lot? afterwards, our team and some of the angels went to swiss chalet for dinner. the service was bad (our table had finished dinner by the time the other tables even got their entrees!) but the company was really good. alan ("hi alan!!!!") is one funny guy! "ganuary? what kind of name is that?" and as a capper to the night, got a ride home from brandon (pretty good driver when he's NOT rushing!)... i'm liking the not-subwaying-it-to-the-east-end thing that's been going on this weekend... hooray for blackouts! well, kinda... yeah, so got back at midnight, talked on the phone with kalam for an hour, and then went to sleep. was SO EXHAUSTED after those two games!

monday - nothing.
