Relatively, I am absolutely terrible at math.
Although I've known that for a while, that notion was reeeeeeally hammered into my conscious at Infinity Math's meeting. I knew all the methods used to solve all but 2 (those were uber long proving ones) problems, I just...would never think to apply them in that way xD
This is terrible because
A, in the short term, I have to write all the gr 12 contests this year. I'm essentially paying $12 for Euclid just so I can add "Participated in the Euclid Contest" to my resume for university. It'll be amazing if I get past the first question haha.
B, in the long term, I'm gonna become an engineer. Engineers need math like fishes need water "orz I shall somehow master enough math to get me to a management position so I can order the technicians around haha.
This is starting to sound really depressing, so I have come up with a plan of survival:
Frieeeeeeends, they are a bunch of really amazing people (at math) :]
Read the textbook by Christmas. I'll read all the examples so least I'll have an idea of how to approach a problem. Not gonna go as far as doing practice problems because my will power can never stretch that far "orz
I believe this is my first school related rant for this school year.

WTF MIKAEL ISN'T SUPPOSE TO DIEEEEEE T_T"
actually, I suppose he was. (The last few chapters has been bluntly pointing at it)
T_____T nooooooooo.
later edit:
;__;
Ares, Baroona and Mikael were *the* greatest, most awesome trio ever, nothing could stand up to them. Add in Icarus and they're invincible. It'll never be the same ;_;
I am tempted to say more, but that will spoil things. Go read it so I can rant some more T_T"
If Icarus ever dies, I will run to Janice's house crying. Her house is far.

L'oreal Warehouse Sale
I had high expectations for this, evident in my 27 item shopping list. (Un)luckily, I came home with much less.
Non face items:
Starting to care more about my hair, it's been neglected for too long xD
Middle hand cream was a surprise discovery, it smells reeeeeeeally nice. Only complaint is that it's a tad oily, which might turn into a pro since Toronto has harsh winters.
Misc make-up:
Back up for my dream matte powder, which true to it's name, stays maaaaaaaaatte. The shade selection was terrible, only had the lightest and darkest available.
Left HiP eyeshadow (Saucy 8180) is for Mel; right (Wicked 536) was originally mine, but I realized I had similar shades. Anyone interested in buying it off me (shrink wrap still on)?
Maybelline lip stuff:
With flash, left is colour sensational in Pink Petal and right is....most likely from the mineral line in Nude Shell.
swatches ;D
With flash as well.
Lastly, Lancome stuff:
Well discounted, not so well variety.
The brown eyeshadow (Ombre Mono shadow in Brown Mist) is awesome! Very pigmented and buttery soft. Although it says shimmer on the package, it appears pretty matte to me.
Swatches:
With flash,
without flash.
No more shopping until boxing day.
Unless of course I get into Arup for co-op and need pretty business cloth *u*

brunch: meaty tomato sauce
I am tempted to call it a bolognese sauce, but it's really a tomato sauce with too much meat and not enough tomatoes XD
Topped with leftover bok choy~
recipe adapted from CHG
Due to poor planning on my part, there was only 2 roma tomatoes leftover @_@ Tried to make up for it with tomato paste, ketchup and water. Turned out decent, the red wine vinegar added a nice depth. Next time, I would caramelize the onions some more and substitute the regular sugar with brown sugar.
Close up! :]
Not very quality cause the DSLR ran outta battery @_@ I'm surprised that the photos turned out very vibrant.
Got post for the L'oreal Warehouse scheduled for later tonight. T'was not as exciting as I hoped, but still a nice haul.

university fair adventures
...I was gonna type alot, but still not feeling the best. Will expand on this once I finish my work tmrw.
Highlights:
Cora's: food was pretty good. The french toast, butter bread, crepes (all the stratch haha) were delicious.
The fair itself: very very very very very very crowded. Bad air quality. It's as hard to find a rep to speak with as ever, and I always think of the good questions after I leave haha.
Found a really nice restaurant while walking back
dinner menu
Pretty expensive, though I guess that's a given since it's in the financial district. Should eat here for all the november/december birthdays combined haha.

遮雨也遮月光
Goes quite well with the late summer storm that has just past :]
I'd like someone to think about too haha.
曲：周杰伦 词：方文山
街灯下的橱窗 有一种落寞的温暖
图贴在玻璃上 画着你的模样
开着车漫无目的地转弯 不知要去哪个地方
凉却的电视墙 到底有谁在看白杨木影子被拉长 像我对你的思念总不完
原来我从未习惯 你已不在我身旁
街道的铁门被拉上 只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
这城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚
RAP:
你撑把小纸伞 她音韵太婉转
唉~
雨落下雾茫茫 问天涯在何方 喔喔~
啊~午夜里 你深藏 偷偷偷 透过窗
烛台前 我们还在想
小扇板 画呀画
小纸伞 遮雨也遮月光
白杨木影子被拉长 像我对你的思念总不完
原来我从未习惯 你已不在我身旁
街道的铁门被拉上 只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
这城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚

"$1 extra cause the mango is fresh"
...what does that imply about the fruits normally? @_@
Went to 168 for some bubble tea with Eva & co. David, her, and me are such shameless hungry people :] Together we ended up eating Mel's unwanted egg, potato and Kat's HUGEEEEE bowl of shaved ice. That thing was delicious with condensed milk~
Previous day was Fabricland (for brushroll), but somehow ended up having tea with Alex and Austin. Mmmm apple cider, do not drink through a cinnamon stick though ;P
No more going out afterschool though. The rest of the week shall be dedicated to nerdy clubs. Math Society tmrw, Infinity Math day after, and chem club on friday. Beyond Einstein is next week~ Two math and two science (plus engineering), gonna be funnnnn.
What other clubs? LC, WCC and CCSC (yay acronyms). My ambitions for next year include pres (or co-pres) of engineering, some sorta exec for either one of the science clubs, and some sorta exec for either WCC or CCSC.
Shall keep myself busy.
