A P R I L 2 0 0 6 2006/04/01 APRIL FOOL'S DAY I would normally think about some weird believable story to pull off a classical April Fool's joke, but this time, I don't have any inspiration to come up with one. I really wish that I could say "April Fool's" on mostly all the things, which are happening in my life these days, hoping that they could easily disappear like the joke... *sigh* Anyway, I got to foward the clocks by one hour. I am going to loose one hour of sleep. 2006/04/02 JP2, I LOVE YOU!  Karol Josef Wojtyla 1920/05/18 - 2005/04/02 It has already been a year since Ioannes Paulus PP. II passed away. I must admit that I really don't know much about him, but it is as if I had lost a friend. I kind of like him, and I can feel that he's a Great Man. I wish that I could have known him better when he was alive. I have a certain admiration for him... He's my Pope. :) I also had a couple of "acquaintances" with him, but that is another story... 2006/04/03 DON'T GIVE UP Mon horoscope du Métro "Vous êtes au meilleur de votre forme intellectuelle. Aucune difficulté ne viendra à bout de votre détermination..." Well, let's just see about that... 2006/04/05 C'EST ENCORE L'«HIVER»! It actually fell below zero yesterday, and it snowed. It's so cold! Ah oui, Bonne Fête Lisa. 2006/04/06 KOKO MISSES YOU, BABY I got this unexpected but expected news that my family will be split apart. Never in my life I thought I would be able to cry a river over this. I miss them so much. After seeing them entering the airport, I rushed myself to get out of the waiting area as quickly as possible for no apparent reason. As the car began to move, I started sobbing, weeping buckets from there to all the way home. I was even stuck in traffic, and people who were next to me were all going like, "Damn! What is his problem?" :P Bearing the anguish that has been cast upon me, I was still able to concentrate and drive home safely, while sadness dampened my face. I realise that I am a grown man now, but I find myself not strong enough to handle this on my own yet. I miss you Baby. 2006/04/07 REFILLING THE VOID Not Empty Yet I had some trouble sleeping, so I woke up early in the morning with the presence of many doubts and worries on my mind. I was glad to hear that everything is fine over there, so that reassured me a little bit. I felt that it wasn't right for me to leave home today, but I had to go to school because classes will be soon finished. I was actually feeling better than yesterday, confident that I will not shed a tear anymore. I popped in my VM's office during my break even though I always feel uncomfortable barging in there unexpectedly because I don't want to disturb him. I mainly wanted to tell him that I would prefer not to come study with him tonight, but I also wanted to see someone to talk to. My heart and mind weren't really there anymore while he checked on me. We talked for awhile, and to my big surprise, I crumbled in tears in front of him after mentionning to him what had happened. I thought that I was fine after emotionnally draining myself yesterday, but I guess that there is still a lot of unfinished emotional business left in me. I was glad that he took some of his time to talk to me while I lament. Many Grateful Appreciation Thanks James for being there for me. Alanna, grâce à ton appel, j'ai pu manquer de faire la vaisselle. :P I'm glad to know that my friends care about me and that they are there for me. Thanks everybody. I really appreciate it. :$ But, is it me or can people sense that something was going wrong? It must be the weather. It usually rains when I'm sad. 2006/04/09 THE TOFU DISH Before Yesterday 雞, 鼠 and 牛 had their first dinner together made entirely by themselves. 鼠 cooked a tofu dish with some of 牛's help, and it turned out to be a okay but a little too watery. And so, the three gave a comment. 雞: Too much oil. 鼠: No, I didn't put enough salt. 牛: You put too much water. You're cooking a dish, not a soup. They argued and agreed that on the next day, 雞 will have to cook the same dish. Yesterday As discussed yesterday, 雞 had to prepare the dish, and he did it with the assistance of 牛 who cleaned up after the thousands of useless tools that 雞 had used. When all was done, the cook showed it to his assistant, and the latter bursted into laughter upon his first glance at this questionable-looking meal, calling the attention of 鼠 to come see it. The three commented on the dish. 雞: It's good. 鼠: There's something missing in it. 牛: Maybe I put too much water for the cornstarch... It will be 牛's turn to cook on the following day, and he remained uncertained on how his tofu dish will turn out. Today 牛 worked very hard to avoid spoilling this famous dish, and he wanted to make a good dinner. Learning from what he witnessed on the past two days, he didn't take any chance and decided to cook something that he was more familiar with: fried noodles. He prepared everything in advance and could not wait to cook. When he was done, he called the other two, but they did not come down, so 牛 began to eat alone. The first bite was delicious, but the taste didn't last for long. He then realised that it was burned and too oily, making him feel a little disappointed as though he had failed. Later on, few comments were made. 雞: It's burned. 鼠: ... [was upstairs - no quick comment was made] 牛: It looks great, but the taste is not there. 牛 will have another chance to cook his famous meal, and he cannot wait to make the next one even better. He will work hard for it. 2006/04/10 CLASSES ARE OVER My classes are all finished now for this semester, but there are still some finals coming up. There are so much things to do, and I don't know if I should keep on studying or start praying. On my way back, I met some guy feeding the seagulls by throwing food up in the sky. I believe he was after something else... 2006/04/14 ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS (III & IV) I got to play these games again, and it brought me back some good old memories when I used to play this game with my brothers. Here are the pictures we used and still use. 
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a game, which is based on Luo Guanzhong's novel 三國演義. It takes place in China during the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, i.e. during the Second and Third centuries. Basically, the goal of the game is to conquer all of the cities in China to ultimately reunite it. To achieve victory, one must master the arts of peace and war, using great strategies to win countless battles. It's a good game. 2006/04/16 HAPPY EASTER I don't really celebrate this "religious" holiday. For me, That's it. :) What a Waste :( Today, we had to throw away some food away because they were all rotten. I can't do much with them. Also, someone threw away some good salted duck meat. :@ :P 2006/04/18 ... Si seulement je pouvais t'oublier... 2006/04/19 I AM TOO KIND While I was heading towards my VM's office, I came across some guy begging for money. His story was that he needed to catch a bus to Quebec City/Sainte-Foy, and unfortunately, he was short of 9$. His father was unable to help him, so that's why he found himself there, asking me for some money. Although his story had some credible grounds, I had my doubts, but I ended up giving him like 4$, approximately one third of what I had. I could have given what he needed, but I didn't trust him very much. I should have went with him to the bus station and paid what he needed. I wonder if I was really gullable, giving money so easily to a perfect stranger. I guess that I believed him in a way. Well, it's hard when nobody believes in you... I think that he also has a STD around his mouth, and he should get it checked out as soon as possible. I hope he didn't give me what he has... On the upside, I saw a few racoons and a bat this evening... Je le sais, ça n'a aucun rapport. :P 2006/04/22 LE SAVOIR VIVRE, ÇA EXISTE! Hmmm, "Earth Day"? I guess that I will have to talk about something that pertains to the environment. The only thing that is bugging me for now is how Montreal is a very dirty city! I mean, I still don't understand how many Montrealers can easily throw their trash on the ground and even spit on the floor. *sigh* I have no choice to put the blame on them because most of people here just don't know how to live or to simply throw their rubbish in the garbage. The mayor is also to blame. He should just enact a law, which fines people who litter. But no, he has this attitude to "warn" us first. Some wuss! Don't "threaten" us, just do it already! People will continue to litter because they have the freedom to do it, so if it was illegal, they would simply stop. 2006/04/24 50 MILLIMETERS OF RAIN Soup For Dinner J'ai fait une soupe ce matin, pis c'était l'enfer! Il faisait ben frette chez moi quand je cuisinais. Alors, quand ma soupe bouillait, la vapeur se condensait rapidement à cause de la différence de température et j'étais quasiment dans un sauna. À un moment donné, j'ai remarqué que des traces d'un liquide rougeâtre coulaient sur les murs, pis je me disais: «Ben voyons don, ma maison saigne ou quoi?» En fait, c'était à cause des carottes que j'ai mises dans la soupe. Je ne sais pas comment ça se faisait, mais j'ai appris que le jus des carottes était plus léger que de l'eau parce que ça se ramassait sur le plafond avant l'eau. C'était tout orange. Je prenais aussi de temps en temps une petite cuillièrée de ma soupe pour y goûter. Au début, ça n'avait même pas de goût. Alors, j'ai rajouté du sel. Je l'ai goûtée une autre fois et ça ne goûtait rien. Voyons, j'ai encore rajouté du sel, pis encore rien! Finalement, j'ai découvert que je goûtais à la couche de graisse et pas à la soupe, pis quand j'ai vraiment goûté à ma soupe, c'était vraiment trop salé. Ayoye! Mais, l'important, c'est que ma soupe goûtait bon à la fin. C'était vraiment délicieux! :) La vieillissante raison I finally understood something that might clear up a few things in my mind. I guess that my VM was right with our reason, which seems to mature as we grow old, using less of our memory to remember things because it wants us to understand the way how things work instead of knowing a host of useless facts. I'm still thinking about it... 2006/04/27 ENFIN, C'EST FINI! Yay! School is finally over, and I can now take some time to relax after a long semester. I hope that my hard work and efforts will not be in vain... I guess that I should lose my naive optimism and replace it with some pessimism, so I could easily absorb the shock of a disappointing news, and if it was a good one, I would be jumping over clouds. I think that I did something "wrong" yesterday. ;) :P Bonne Fête, Stéphanie. Merci encore. :) 2006/04/28 I STILL GOT IT Je me suis fait cruiser aujourd'hui. :P *blush* ;) 2006/04/29 MILLE SOUPIRS Does This Make Me Fat? I had some Eggo Waffles this morning. I added some Nutella and some Marshmallow on it, and it tasted so good. I would have added some butter too, but I was in a rush to melt the marshmallow while the waffles were still hot. Simply delicious! It's like having some S'mores. Walking Under the Sun I had to drop a letter at my father's work place today, and I was sure that it will only take minutes with the car, but the car wasn't working at all! It was doing fine three days ago, but it gave up on us. *sigh* The battery had no more juice, I think. I ended up having to walk all of the way there. It's like from Vendôme to my place. It took me like two hours to do the trip. The only thing that bothered me was the sun because I don't want a tan! I also nearly stepped on a moth on my way back. When I squatted down to look at it, it started to fly in front of me and flew away. It was strange. I wonder who died and came to visit me... :S Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII My brother bought the game, and there's one guy who looks like me because he's fat. :P Tu es venu Merci, mon BDR. 2006/04/30 OH WHAT A NIGHT My Yahoo! Horoscope "Why are you so intent on chasing someone who's so clearly bad news, especially when they are clearly a repeat of a pattern from your past? Before you dive into this disaster, examine your motives -- your real motives." Whoa! Now, that's weird! That was really accurate. Going Out I went out tonight to buy a bus pass and to calm myself down. I met Tremblay, in the Metro. He still didn't change at all. I also found an old man lying down on the street, and this young man was there trying to help him. I thought the old one had a heart attack or something, but it turned out that we was just drunk. I helped out the young lad to put the old guy on the bench, but come to think of it, maybe it was a bad idea: he might fall down. Anyway, it seemed that we can't really do anything else to help him out, so we left him on the bench... Keeping His Scent and Warmth 
J'ai rencontré mon correcteur de dessins ce soir et on a fait une ballade en auto autour de Montréal en écoutant la radio. Je n'oublierais surtout pas nos escales au MR et au SCA. ;) Il y faisait chaud pas mal à ces endroits-là, peut-être pas exactement, mais dans son char, oui. :PAs I stepped out, all dishevelled, I turned myself around and looked at him as he drove away. I then walked back home under the crescent moon, while listening to the croaks of the frogs echoing through the park. J'aurais aimé qu'il marche avec moi... Mille excuses, mon Ami. Je me sens mal pour ne pas pu avoir aidé Lauzon ce soir, car je suis comme rentré un peu tard et surtout que je lui ai dit que je serai là. B A C K F O W A R D H O M E |
