The website for MUG Leader applications CRASHED yesterday due to the overwhelming number of applications done in the last minute! Haha I was once guilty of that too… But the good news is that the application deadline is extended till tonight at 11:59 PM for those people who couldn’t apply in the end. Apply here: http://www.involvement.ubc.ca/2012-student-leader-opportunities/
HURRY. Training and selection for the war against freshmen starts very soon…
I am calling out to all fellow undergrads… we need your help. On September 4th 2012, there will be a force that threatens the very foundations of our place of mind… A legion so dangerous that UBC must cease all classes and operations in order to call arms and prepare for battle. We will safeguard and protect our home. We will muster every available student; part-time or full-time, grad or undergrad; to face an army that is beyond anything we ever encountered.
There will be deaths. Brave, valiant, and worthy students all alike will fall in the hands of the enemy. Others may see this as a suicide mission. They think this is impossible. But we will not give up. We will not lose our place here in UBC.
Or we will die trying.
We cannot do it alone. Every working hand will help available will help our cause. Enlist here: http://www.involvement.ubc.ca/2012-student-leader-opportunities/
Godspeed.
And that’s exactly what I did in my last class. I start at 10 and end at 5. And yes I am aware there are people worse off than me (like 2nd year biochem and chem majors) but it’s just… I’m spoiled…
Had a different assignment at work today. Instead of our usual stuff, we had to write an assignment for a new course so that it can be a model of what a good, bad, or satisfactory assignment looks like. To be honest, it reminds me of English class… And I can’t write… And I’m supposed to be the good paper…
Stayed late today at UBC (I think ~10?) because of a massive MMI practice group. It’s physically and mentally draining… I can’t wait to just get this over with but at the same time I wish I have more time to prepare. Some of my friends have it this weekend, hopefully they feel confident enough.
As you can see, my post isn’t very enthusiastic. I am just dead tired right now, forgive me. I had to stay up (till… what time is it right now… wow it’s 4) to finish some homework and read my assigned readings. I seriously cannot wait till the weekend.
Let my pictures do the talkin’
The gates...
A shuffle of truffles
Croissants, Strudels, Danishes, and Scones
What my friend ordered: Almond encrusted croissant and green matcha tea.
Went to Thomas Haas patisserie with AW and RZ. I sincerely recommend this place for all those people with sweet tooths. I ordered chocolate almond croissant (which was quite big), and it was only $5. The taste is certainly something I’ve never had before, slight hint of salt from the croissant pastry mixed with a deep embodiment of chocolate while maintaining that creamy texture. Though it was quite a mess when I ate it because it just FELL APART. It was that fresh.
Also bought some truffles for my co-worker. See, usually when I have some bad news to give him, I first give him some treats and then afterwards tell it to him when he’s in a good mood. Last time it was Chinese egg tart. Today was Jamaican-rum infused dark chocolate with powdered sugar on top. He knew that bad news as soon as he saw my bag from Thomas Haas…
like not attending all the Scienceweek events! Darn school and work, had to miss out on a lot of events. But fortunately I did attend one that mattered…
LOL okay I really wanted to go to Coldfusion more but this was fun too. Haha would’ve been fun cheering for my boss, but unfortunately I was late… She did bake cookies as her talent. And apparently her Q&A session was interesting… I wished there was a video. Jackie ended up winning!
when I woke up. But then I went out shortly after 12 seeing that, like any other Sunday, I was not in the mood to do something productive so I decided to hang out with my friends. Today was a Chinese new year celebration (yes, I know it’s late!) at Aberdeen, and my friend was performing traditional Chinese dances for the crowd. It was very nice, and I’m surprised how flexible their bodies were LOL. All but one dancer were girls, ranged from 5 years of age to college students.
They're gonna kill me for putting this picture on my blog... but it's worth it.
And then we went to a noodle house in a little collection of shopping centers. I wish I could remember the name of the place because I definitely want to return there. I remember that there was a sheet where we had to fill out the ingredients we want in our noodle soup. It was so big. Any of you guys know the place?
Thick rice noodle in laksa soup base with enoki mushroom, thread tofu, fish puffs, and tendon.
Finished 
unless you justify it with a good reason. This morning I decided not to go to my morning class because I have to study… and that was really my fault. I haven’t been keeping up with my class and now there’s this big ass quiz tomorrow and I am not prepared at all. Of course, I’m not making good use of my time by blogging right now… ARGH MUST STUDY
I had most scariest nightmare last night… I dreamed that I drank the same milk that I always use for morning cereal but then I looked at the container carefully and it said it expired last year… I threw up, had the most nauseating experience, and got lactose intolerant. Life without ice cream, yogurt, butter chicken, curry, cheese, lasagna, butter, pizza… What a scary moment.
I forgot to mention that today’s the Involvement Fair. Come drop by the CSI in Brock Hall from 12-3 to find a showcase of different involvement opportunities that the CSI hosts. There will also be birthday cake. Happy birthday to the CSI!
The title refers to two things.
1. The korean restaurant downstairs in the SUB finally opened! Apparently opened Monday morning, and all the Korean ladies were busy busy busy filling the high demand of UBC students all wanting a little taste of Korean cuisine.
I do wish they had more variety. Like seafood pancake
This is ddukbokgi and bibimbap
The taste was surprisingly good, considering it was SUB food. Though I didn’t really like the bibimbap (but then again I never really liked bibimbap anyways) so I’ll try their bulgogi next time.
One thing you should note is that it may take a while to get your food. I remember on the first day it opened I was waiting patiently but they ran out of rice and so we all had to wait while they’re cooking it. But I think they prepped more of it this time.
2. I starting to blog again. I was on a mini-hiatus because… I didn’t feel like blogging. Iunno why but I felt bad for leaving some people hanging who always expect me to post something daily (like BT and AW). I’ll try, but I think I lost all that blog-hype back last term.
My bro and a couple of friends went out to Wang’s noodle house (or something like that) on Granville St. where I had the most delicious noodles.
So ****ing good. Just seeing this post brings out the typical classical conditioning out of me
It’s the sauce that makes it amazing. It’s minced pork stir-fried with fermented soy bean. It’s slightly sweet and brings a lot of meat flavor. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It’s Za Jiang Mian in English I think… I’ve always had the Korean version, which is nice I guess but since I ate it for the last 20 years I think I appreciate the Chinese version more. One day… One day I will CREATE this dish.
Excited for BOOt camp tomorrow, meeting tons of new people while being stuck without internet or cell phone coverage somewhere in Agassiz. I JUST started packing, hopefully I’ll get it done… next morning. I’m too sleepy…
Level 94… 6 more levels to go… My only motivation is to see my friend’s face cry a river when I beat him… HAHA jokes
