My dear Liz (who I affirm is cool, by the way) tagged me just yesterday, even despite not being half done my tomorrow-due Economic Analyses assignment, I have the sudden urge to play this game.

Here we go.

Random Thing #1: I would like to be cremated
I feel like I really don’t want to take up so much space, and I really don’t want to live in a casket. Actually, it would be nice if I could be buried on a rooftop garden. I think that would be a great place to settle for eternity. Maybe on top of the TD Tower— of course, it must be designated a heritage site first. I wouldn’t want to be bulldozed.

Hey I will use my existence on the top of the TD Tower to force the City to designate the building as a heritage site. Then, my life would serve a greater purpose! Hail Mies van der Rohe!

This is when my grandmas will say, “CHOY!”
PS: CHOY is what Cantonese people say when you say “jinxing” things such as death. The English equivalent of “CHOY” is “Don’t ever say these things!”

Random Thing #2: Chewing Communion?
Being the “true” Catholics that we are, our family never sits at the front of the church during mass. Last week, however, was an exception because there were no other seats available for us. Anyways, I took notice that people were chewing on the host.

I rememeber vividly in Grade Two, when we first received communion, Sister Edwards, our strict school principal, told us never to chew on the host, because symbolically, you would be chewing on Jesus. Instead, you’re supposed to let the wafer get soggy on your tongue, and swallow it without ever using your teeth.

Sidenote: This topic almost sounds dirty.

Anyways, I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while, whether what Sister Edwards says is true. I’m going to go Google this when I have time, and I will get back to you. I refuse to ask the pastor, becuase I’m afraid of the consequences. Haha.

Random Thing #3: I want to molest frosh
I was pretty much in the lab for the entire duration where I didn’t have class. There were a few folks in the lab who asked me how to add money on your FES printing account. Of course, being an elderly UW student that I am— in which is quite depressing— I was glad to help. He brought up the point that it was stupid how we get a print out about “Insufficient Funds”, if we have insufficient funds. It totally reminded me when I was an innocent frosh, just like him.

Also today, I saw Planning frosh measuring the Modern Languages Courtyard for their first Urban Design project. That brought back so many wonderful memories of late nights in the REV and V1 Great Hall.

Anyways, some of the frosh are HOT! Some look like all innocent, while others simply don’t even look like frosh. No matter which type you are, I’m ready to molest.

Random Thing #4: My roommates are the best
My roommates rock! I love the fact that my roommate Jacob is more particular about cleanliness than I am! In every house, I always delegate myself the task to clean the tub, whenever mildew and other grossness accumulates on the tub surface. Today, Jacob actually initiated the cleaning adventure himself!

He’s also quite the sweet guy— not to me but to his girlfriend. They are a great couple. Jacob placed a Post-It note on the fridge door today to remind me and, and my other roommate, Abhi “to be careful not to crush the flowers.” He is giving it to his girlfriend on Friday.

Awwww.

Abhi is great too. He could definitely prepare some amazing lamb dishes and he is appropriately social. In other words, he socializes an appropriate amount that he a great person to have around, but not too social to the point that he’s irritatingly having visitors.

Abhi is in Comp Eng, and Jacob is in Math/Biz.

Oh, did I mention that no dishes have yet to be accumulated on the sink? This is a living-away first for me!

Random Thing #5: Matt the UWATERLOO model
Since I’ve set foot in the University of Waterloo, I’ve longed to be in those happy multicultural photos in campus brouchures of students you see carrying out student activities around campus.

Anyways, my wish was finally granted this week. I was part of a photo session in the Winter term for CECS’s newest co-op employment marketing strategy called “Employ. Ability.” and the brochures were distributed this week. I was not featured in the ES pullout but for the Faculty of Science.

But whatever, I can cross one thing off my list. Woo!
