So I've reunited with most of my friends recently. Things were a bliss - I met April and Lawrance again on Tuesday for tennis and we all hung out. It was also my first time playing tennis with James. He said it was his first time playing, but i doubt it; he played almost like a veteran compared to us.
So today was another day - a day where I reunited with Cherie, Queeny, and Kimberly. Originally, it was planned to be a bigger group doing multiple events, but the original group of 15 people dwindled to 6. I guess it wasn't that bad, because we got to do more fun things without as much worry of others disliking something. So we went to see the movie, Tangled. Due to time conflicts, we waited about 2 hrs to start watching and went to the Hello Kitty Store and Toys R Us store to waste time. As expected, the Toys R Us store sparked happy memories with my past (and new memories today to remember in the future). I saw the largest jaw breakers ever and we had fun with the candyland/plushies there. I originally wanted to go to the Disney Store, but i guess it's not enough time. So then we viewed Tangled. It was an awesome movie in terms of CG animation but the storyline was really lacking and cheesy. However, the music really blew us away in that it reminded us of the past Disney Magic.
So then, we became rebellious and hopped into another theater, The Tourist. Honestly, The Tourist was MUCH better than Tangled in terms of storyline but nearly everything was predictable yet stupid. This was my first time going movie hopping - I'm happy.
Next, we went to Rockefeller. The tree was gorgeous! It was huuuge and dazzling (except the mobs of tourists half-ruined the experience). I also didn't know that there was a lego store there. It was small, but reminded me of the one in Orlando. Good old days. I'm starting to enjoy this Christmas now.

Finals Finally Over
So today, I finally finished my calc II finals. It wasn't that bad, but I did end up making some errors. Generally, I think i got above an 80, but time will tell. Regardless, I'm still applying for the retake of the calc exam (because i'm Asian like that). The scary thing was, I was nearly late for the exam. Actually, scratch that - I WAS late because I had some trouble finding the testing room. Luckily, I was only late by a few minutes, so that was nothing much. God, i hated that room; it was cramped and the desks had barely any room.
And so, I met up with Helen, Christine, and Kai and we walked over the Manhattan Bridge. I guess you can say it was cold, but I was fine with it (although they weren't...). And then we ate at Big Wong restaurant in Chinatown. I remember that the place used to be really cheap with good food; now it's bad in quality and the pricing of the food seems like rip-offs. So afterwards, me and Helen went alone to Pearl Paint and SoHo and browsed a few stores (and bought some Christmas cards). It felt like more a date than a hangout, but it was a pleasant experience nevertheless. All I can say is: she won my heart and time for today. I'm still undecided, unfortunately.
Well, so I came home today and cleaned the house a bit and played a lot of StarCraft II! I think today was one of the most deserved days i've had after a stressful event (such as a test). In fact, I think I was a bit spoiled today...haha!

Another Day of Tennis
Yes, I play tennis every Saturday - well, not EVERY Saturday, but it depends on the weather. So today, i woke up late for tennis again. Yes, I'm late as usual, but i was further delayed because i had to buy breakfast for my mom - not that i was against it, but it massively delayed my schedule. ~sigh~ All for the sake of my mom, right? I sometimes wish my dad was here to help my family out financially and emotionally.
So anyhow, prior to buying breakfast, I received two missed calls from Helen and Henry. What shocked me this morning was that, Helen wanted ask her dad to give me a lift. Wait, WHAT?!?!?! A lift from her dad's car? I know that's pretty awkward but at the same time, she showing concern and thought for me. Upon hearing that from Henry, i finished my conversation with him and rightfully replied tot he missed call from Helen. Again, her casualness of her voice threw me off again. =.=
And so, we played tennis (I roofed a lot of balls today....whoops) and then went to eat lunch at Lucky 8 restaurant in 8th avenue, Brooklyn. It was a new experience, since it was my first time dining at that restaurant. my only complaint was that there was no table cloth and the table showed bare wood (with metal hinges) but I guess that's something new. The food tasted decent (but worth it considering the price. What amazed me today was how playful Helen was while trying to shove food into Henry's plate. It was interesting yet awkward, since i was in the middle. That was somewhat fun.
And afterwards came the boring life of me going back to Poly's Bern Library to study for the Calc finals. Yes, i'm nerdy like that, but i really need to study since it's coming in two days. Meanwhile, i retrieved my necklace that i previously ordered. I'm sure that necklace would one day prove useful eventually. Still, I'm shocked by how Helen thought of me at the first moment to give me a lift. Despite me trying to focus on the Aero girl, i'm back in No-Man's land again. =.= FML

Preparing for Christmas...and Finals
So the finals are approaching but that dreadfulness is balanced by the cheery mood of Christmas. So today was all mostly studying and making plans for my Christmas break with my friends. I'm planning to make an event with Lisha and some other friends, but i currently still don't know my schedule so I'll leave that subject on hold. On the other hand, I'm still hunting gifts for my friends. Gift hunting is painful......which is why i'll start on writing the messages for my Christmas cards right now. Time to start massively writing!
(^o^)v
P.S. I'm am so glad i signed up for UPromise, which returns a small percent of my online purchases towards my tuition. It makes my life a wee bit more simple.

Finally done with EG
So I'm finally done with my EG class today!~~~
You honestly don't know how stressful that class was, since i did approximately ~70% of the work most of the time but i have to admit, the classes were fun and worth it (although my partners were not).
So i'm finally done today, WOOO!!!
I'm also very happy today because Helen helped me throughout the past few nights on the project, showing MUCH devotion to it. I feel bad for dragging her sometimes to stay so late. Maybe she's trying to tell me something? I'm seem to get that hint, but she's not quite making clear enough to me because i don't want to make a false interpretation. Nevertheless, I really appreciate her presence today. We both got work done (for me) and we both kinda skipped lunch, so we ended up nearly starving when we've been through about 10 hrs of fasting (for classwork). So as for that, I promised her and myself (in front of her) that i'll treat her to a lunch or dinner someday. She seem confused about that topic, as usual, but somewhat grateful when i said that. Well, i'm off to bed. Nights.
