Tick Tock..

Hallo, yesterday after work I went with my friends to square one “say fong yut!” I actually ended up buying some new clothes there, yay!. I still need more though, 3 shirts to my wardrobe doesn’t exactly brighten the place up. I have finally “succumb to facebook” but I don’t plan on doing much on it, since it will probably take up a lot of time to find my friends from all around the world. I also realized that despite making fun of simple plan alot for their emo-song-ness, I actually enjoy listening to them! I hope that doesn’t brand me as a heretic though =O.

and i continue to sit here waiting for smash bros brawl and the weekend to roll around…

LV Oranges!!

Into the depths of adulthood?

Hallo, I haven’t written anything in a while, probably due to the fact that there hasn’t really been anything happening in a while since last Friday and this Monday. I guess i could probably take those events and word it into something spectacular and wacky if i wasn’t too lazy to. On Friday I went to a Viet Bar and had a few beers, and on Monday my part time job officially became my full time job, go me!

I now somewhat understand what some of my friends mean when they say they have no time for games, I understand but I don’t believe in it. It feels as if my life is intertwined with work, I wake up to go to work, I come home and do little with what energy i have left from work waking up early, and the next day (work) just rolls around the corner. I seemed to have waltzed into a new chapter/way of life that is in unfamiliar territory to me, having been babied/spoiled for most my life. Note: My work is absolutely nothing compared to what my profession has in store for me, but the energy spent at it is probably the same amount I’ll spend in any full-time situation.

With that being said, its not all too bad. You realize how special it is to chill everyday after work “even if it’s at Timmies for an hour or so” with your friends, you get paid alot of money for working so much, and theres no need to “get used to” school hours when it rolls around. I understand that if this is viewed in the wrong way lives will begin to suck, and youth will be zapped from the lives of workers, but I refuse to accept this since I believe I will be eternally young.

I ate a whopper combo at 8 yesterday, it was so yummy it made me pass out from itis at 9 until morning. I have yet to go through my ancient family pictures that I have dug up in my basement, but I will eventually =).

I haven’t prepared any pictures for today so here, have a row of cans.

Three steps forward, two steps back

Hallo, I have been recently working at a part time small business (seems rather full time-ish so far) called Tai Pan Lighting since Tuesday this week. I do random things around the office that are requested of me, and everyone there is friendly and fun even though they’re around my mom’s age and have sons and daughters around my age as well.

On the other hand, apparently the skill tests and interview from Accountemps only got me “in” and hasn’t landed me remotely near a job. I called waterloo branch and the guy there is now looking for a job for me but he can’t guarantee a job that fills my full work term requirements =/.

My “anime-nerd” side (others call this Benjamin Hsu) has rejoiced as my shipment of goods has FINALLY arrived after the long 3 month wait. In it includes volumes 1-21 of getbackers for me, and some plushies, a kon hat, a messenger bag, and other stuff that my other friends wanted to get.

In the future I plan to doodle, and have random creative outbursts as i have done so in the past so that this blog will become more balanced between actual blog stuff and random postings of ting tingz.

I’ve been too lazy to take pics lately, and since I’m too lazy/tired to actually search for any, Ill post a pic of myself from Japan with my “viet haircut” and my buddy Mr. Ice Cream.

Click to enlarge, but caution: doing so will result in a larger picture. This should be fine up here so long as I don’t see it myself =).

A bricklayer can’t finish his jobs if his bricks keep dissapearing!

Hallo! Soo.. good news first! On friday I went in for an interview/test at Accountemps and it was actually pretty fun. I had to first fill in a bunch of sheets which were kinda boring, then I did some accounting tests on the computer which reminded me of school. I was tested on my knowledge of accounts receivable, accounts payable, typing letters, and typing numbers. Overall I scored pretty well on these examinations, this, paired with my willingness to work in waterloo leads me to a possible account job pretty soon! Yay!!

The whole weekend was alright too, on friday we learned of how fun playing tetris against each other was and thus pitted us in a large scale war of crushing one another’s egos with falling bricks that disappear whenever they form a line.

Saturday started for me at 12:30 pm and I played Patapon (go search it, its cute and fun!) through the day on my friend’s PSP until everyone else awoke at 5:00pm. All you can eat to make back your money sushi, extreme loafting, old school SNES games, McDonalds at 5:00, and looking for jumper cables to start a friend’s car filled the rest of the night until I went to bed at around 6:30 AM.

Today began in the dark at 6:00 PM and was pretty awkward as i saw the sun rise when i went to bed but woke up to the moon in the sky. I went to dinner with a few friends at Phoenix, My friend and I shared a lover’s meal ($18.00 for 2 people and we couldn’t even finish it), while another ate a kid’s meal. Rest of the night was spent loafting and playing 1v1 tetris until i got home at 12:30 haha.

Soo.. pictures! I have one that my friend took of his drawing, and some random one from japan:

Domo Kuns Reporting for Duty

So close yet so far away

Sooo instead of following tradition yesterday, I ended up going downtown with a few friends to check out Ryerson University. On the way there I saw this very cute statue of two characters while coming off the highway. What I learned after walking 10 minutes in Ryerson was the fact that I was actaually in Ryerson and not in Toronto city anymore. You see, Ryerson is well tucked and secretly hidden in the middle of Toronto without any boundaries from the outside world unlike Waterloo. To me it seems more like a “district” in Toronto than an actually university (shows how very little of the world i know).

I attended my friend’s business communication class and shortly after, was kicked out from it along with my other friends (I think the teacher drinks haterade). And then the rest of the day happened: went back to sauga from toronto, ate all you can eat sushi, did nothing for a long time, and then back to home sweet home.

Today was more like any other day, applied for jobs in the morning, did nothing till night yay. I applied to jobs through a staffing agency recently called Accountemps and to my surprise, I received a call from them for an interview tomorrow! No time for me to get happy yet, as this is standard procedure for every applicant =(. So hopefully through this company I will be employed either in mississauga, toronto, or waterloo for some accounting position.

Time for pictures! I know its kinda lame as most of them are in, around, and about my house but I’ll start taking my camera out from now on. Pictures today are the before and after Ben Hsu’s magnificent room cleaning service.

Bye!

(note. i do not play puzzle pirates anymore so just ignore the banner if u still see it brooding down there)

uncharted territory

Today is my first day outside my house of the week. It was rainy but not cold, it was actually pretty warm today. I’ve spent the past few days waking up around 2 pm to check for any new job postings and then back to my bed to watch south park and sleep all day long (yes i know, i should spend this time to better myself in something useful).

So what adventure did i seek as i ventured out my front door? First stop was to the frightening KFC for my friend required some chicken to fuel her oily needs. Then onwards to the mysterious Tim Horton’s for their magical potion that replenishes energy instantaneously while taken through the oral cavity. As we dined on our party’s hard earned supplies we chattered amongst ourselves about the day’s feats, spoils, and determined tomorrows plan of action.

When i got home I was super bored and took a picture of the outside (note: i am no professional photographer so it could suck bawls)

Thumbnail looks horrible, Click to enlarge it

aaaaaand I’ve always wanted to draw like her:

Bye

Laziest day of the new year

Hallo, Today i woke up and stayed in bed for most of the day watching south park episodes on comedycentral.com. Other than eating, showering, and south park, I had nothing better to do for the whole day since everyone else was busy getting ready for work, school, or something important tomorrow. Such a boring boring day…

I’ve decided to take a picture for every post so its not all text heavy!, so the picture for this post would be my new broken lack of hinge on my macshiba laptop T_T

fried rice!

I made a big bowl of fried rice yesterday! what an accomplishment. It had broccoli, spam, pinapples, rice, garlic salt, pepper, eggs, and some soy sauce! yumyum. I name it the Bright Hawaiian Rainforest Fried Rice!!!! dun dun dunnnnn..

Today i learned how to fry boh-choy with garlic!!

Inching like a snail ever so slowly, im on my way to becoming an iron chef.

Bright beginnings

The new year doesn’t feel much different, we had a heavy snowfall during new years eve, which caused yesterday to be very chilly and icy especially when going for Mcdonalds at 6 AM. Today actually feels significantly different from the past week, waking up to a VERY sunny outside makes the day seem a lot happier and productive =D, but then again its probably just disguising the horrible cold that i have yet to discover.

Along with job search… Since waterloo hath now opened I sent an email requesting backup from the councilling office, and I’ve also broadened my search to include IT/Programming/Computer jobs (but i’m not so sure how to approach them yet), soo hopefully this will result in me landing a job and picking at its juicy fruits I have yet to suckle on.

now back to job searching/eating/playing games/whatnot

Happy New Years

Happy New Years!
