Pics and thoughts from Jon Ting

Facebook

Alright, after like 50 million people nagged me to get facebook, I finally gave in to the temptation and joined the dark side. Now I haven't really put anything on it yet, but I'll do so later. (promise)

I tried to add the people that I know, but that took like an hour and my hands were hurting from doing the same thing over and over again...and I wasn't even half done. So I decided to be lazy and give up, and have you guys add me instead. :D
Anyhow, it's under sou1_pure@hotmail.com...add me if you want.

PS. my wall virginity was taken away in like a day from getting facebook...man, so many "predators" out there :P

Coming Home

Wow, I can't believe it. I am done 2A already...it went by so fast, heck, it feels as if I just moved in. Well, I'm kind of happy to be done school, for that means that there's no more stress caused by homework, exams, etc. But at the same time, I feel kind of...hmm, how do you describe this feeling... reluctant to leave. Yes, school is a lot of stress, but the people around me made it bearable. I guess I'm just not used to the idea of them not being around for 4 months. Well, I'll try my best to keep up with them, as much as possible.

It's too bad that I'm only here for 4 months. At times, I feel like that just as I'm starting to get the hang of things, it's time to leave. Like I got to really know a few people better, in like the last month of school. Just as we're like getting to know each other better, it's time to go. *sigh* In a way, it's kind of my fault. I wasted time on the computer instead of making an effort to get to know people. But well, next school term, I'll be sure to take the time out to get to know people in the first month or so...instead of wasting my time doing unproductive things

But to end on a positive note, at least I got a chance to get to know them this past term; still got 3 more years for the friendship to grow, haha.

Here's a few pics from the term...

-Dennis and I. He's such an awesome guy; always has something up his sleeve to make you laugh, and keeping things interesting.

- Dennis, me and Paul. Paul's my classmate/Don/friend. Really smart too. It's too bad that we didn't get to hang out too much this term :( But next term for sure tho.

- The usual crew that I go out with (Jeeshan, Me, Dennis, Jonathan, Andrew, Simon)

- Oh Mike Weins, you're such a punk. You and your music, waking me up when I'm trying to sleep (well, it IS like 1pm in the afternoon) Haha, we'll chill this summer, eh?

- Our post exam celebration at bubble tea. (Andrew, Maureen, Jenni, and I)
- Andrew: we'll definately hang out this summer, since you live like 20 minutes away from me
- Maureen: I hope you get that job at Bacardi, and keep in touch, okay? (We'll visit waterloo together or something)
- Jenni: If only I knew you'd be interested in fellowship earlier, eh? So mad that I didn't get to meet you sooner :P well, I'll see you for sure in the summer tho.

Alright...this post is getting long. There's a bunch of other pics of ppl that I should post...but I'll save that for facebook (I'll get that soon enough)

My new hobby

2007-04-19T02:06:00.000-04:00

Well, exams are still going on, and I'm still very stressed/tense over them. But hey, God is still here with me, and he walked me through various trials within my life. I'm sure he's around to give me comfort/help when I need it (And he did, but that's a story for another day)

Guess I'm just taking a little break from studying. (Don't know who'll be reading my blog at like 2am in the morning, but if anyone sees this,maybe they could pray for my exam tomorrow at 9am, and the one after at 9am as well. I don't think I'll be doing much sleeping in order to have the most study time possible.)

Anyhow, on to my new hobby. It's like the worst one to have; surfing on ebay. The usual unproductive hobby only sucks up your time (i.e. video games, msn, etc.) but ebay's worse; it sucks up your time AND money. You go on ebay, wanting to buy something specific, and one thing leads to another. You see deals here and there, and next thing you know, you just bought a crapload of junk...and none of them is the thing that you originally wanted. >.< Yeppp...that's what I did. I went on ebay to look for a specific pendant that I liked...but I ended up buying a bunch of other stuff...and the pendant isn't even on the list of the stuff that I bought...

Ahhh ebay, what an ungodly creation...

But I should get back to studying...after I check on my bids :P (Just kidding...)

Stressed out

2007-04-14T02:50:00.000-04:00

Exams are totally stressing me out...really scared that I'd mess this term up and would have to repeat it. I really don't want to do that, it'd be quite embarrassing. I really need to manage my time well. So, dear readers, if you see me on msn, please remind me to go study. It'd be much appreciated :)

Another thing is that maybe you guys could keep me in your prayers, that would be really helpful too...lots of prayers = miracle...hopefully

Mental Note: STOP wasting my own time and STUDY!

Down the Memory Lane

2007-04-12T06:17:00.000-04:00

It's 6 am in the morning, I should be sleeping or studying, but am I doing any of these?
Nope! Instead, I'm sitting at my laptop, wasting my life away once more...

Well, at least I'm getting some quiet time to reflect and stuff.

I just started reading the old posts from my old blog...it's been like 3 years. Somethings didn't change, such as my writing style, the over-usage of "...", and me being me (wasting time and procrastinating) Some things never change :P But some things are just not the same anymore. I think the people that read this blog, with the exception of a few, will be new. What does that mean? Well, it just demonstrates the fact that friends come and go...I think some of the friends that I wrote about, or perhaps the people that read my posts, are like totally different now. But looking at the bright side, some friendships are meant to last. For those that are reading this and have read through my old blog, congratz, our friendship lasted through the test of time for at least 3 years...and I hope it'll continue to stay strong.

As for reading what I wrote about before, well, I guess I've changed too. First of all, at least my posts aren't all over the place and stuff. And the problems that I wrote about, well, they just seem so trivial now. (I got new ones to deal with; they're call exams :P)

I think I should wrap this up...well, just a reminder I guess, to treasure the people around you while it lasts. Friends, family, and significant others, come, but some aren't there forever. Hopefully they'd stay with you. But even if they do go, I just hope that you won't have any regrets...and be like "if only I did (so and so)...then maybe we'd still be together"

Alright, I should head off to bed, take care, dear readers

Let's give this another try

2007-04-11T22:55:00.000-04:00

Alright. For those that knows me from before my university days, well, I used to have a blog...but I never kept up with it. It kind of died after a while, but I hope this one would be different.

So what got me started again, you ask? Well, I was talking to a friend (and I won't mention Jeff Pak's name *cough*) of mine, and he was like "Yo, what happened to your blog." I told him that blogs suck, because they take forever, and he was like "You should do it...it's good..." (Okay, he didn't say those exact words, but something similar) I was still iffy about the idea, and was like "Nah, I probably won't"

Fast forward a few days...and here we are, haha

I'll probably use this blog to post random thoughts that I have, but it'll be used primarily for pictures and stuff.

Alright, hope you guys enjoy having a blast reading about my life O.o
